Chapter 331 The Wire-Puller
Silas said, âI understand the situation you both are in so it's fine. I'll explain to Doctor Brooklyn
soon.â With disappointment, Eric said, âAleena has always been an obedient girl and I don't know
why she did this. It truly shocked me!â Speaking of that, he looked at Kelly. âSince Ben is willing to
marry Aleena and heâs also a sensible man, why don't we go along with his suggestion? Otherwise,
the newspaper tomorrow might publish nonsense!â
Silas raised his eyebrows, surprised that things had indeed gone according to Laraâs plan. Therefore,
he started to rhythmically tap his fingers on the table. Those who knew him well would know that
that was his habit when he was pondering. Raising her eyes, Kelly glanced at Eric. âHow can Aleena
marry him?" Eric knitted his eyebrows while asking in a frustrated tone, âDo you have any other
solutions?â Kelly raised her voice and said, âEven so, she canât marry Ben. He's such a womanizer!â
"Who isn't a womanizer these days?" Eric asked in annoyance. Knowing that they were about to start
quarreling, Silas quickly interjected, âHave you ever thought that if it wasn't for the wire-puller,
things wouldn't have ended up this way although Aleena is in the wrong? I think we should focus on
this person, who played the video in public, and what his or her objectives are. Is he trying to use
public opinion to force you into compromising?â Enlightened by Silas, Eric instantly came to a
realization. âAre you saying that the person behind this is Ben?â Silas comforted him, âUncle Eric,
let's not jump to conclusions. I'm just judging the case as it stands and I haven't found any
substantive evidence. But evidently, the party benefiting from this current incident is the Roberts
Family. Putting everything else aside, Ben is obviously eager to marry Aleena judging from how he
apologized and confessed his feelings toward Aleena earlier. To be honest, would you choose the
Roberts Family if this incident never happened? Obviously, you wouldn't. Not only is Ben a famous
womanizer, but his family background is also not a match with the Jones Family. But now, you'll
think that bringing them together is the best solution because it can shut the public up. Ben is just
discarding all your other choices!â Infuriated, Eric smacked the table. âHow is that my only choice?
I'd rather keep Aleena at home than marrying her to that evil, cunning b*stard!â Silas added, âThis is
just my suspicion. Uncle Eric, Aunt Kelly, you should think of it on
your own. Don't be influenced by my words and lose a commendable son-in-law. I don't mean to
separate a couple either. As long as Aleena is happy, I'll be glad too.â Kelly said, âSilas, you don't
have to be so discreet. We definitely trust you. If this incident never happened, I wouldn't allow Ben
to have Aleena either. Isn't he the one who gained huge attention on the internet when he flirted
and hugged a married woman previously? We will never allow such a disgusting man to join our
family!â With a gloomy face, Eric said, âI bet that Lara is involved in this incident too.â Without
replying to Eric, Silas showed him a smile. Then, he said, âHow about this? Both of you should
discuss the solution and I'll talk to the media so that they won't report this incident. That's all I can
do to help.â
In the living room downstairs, Ben whispered to Lara when no one was around, âAunt Lara, will it
work?â Lara replied, âIf that video wasn't played in public, perhaps there would be another outcome.
However, now that everyone knows what has happened, no one will want Aleena anymore unless
she doesnât mind staying single forever.â Ben smirked. âThank you for coming up with such a
brilliant plan, Aunt Lara.â Unexpectedly, Lara fiercely glared at him. âIf this plan works out, you must
make Miss Jones happy. Look at those women whom you flirted with in the past. They're all mere
peasants! This time, you must bear with it until you marry her regardless of anything. If you fail me
again, I'll kill you!"
