Chapter 546

Furthermore, it could escalate the tension between Benny and Lindsey.

Shelia planned to use this to tarnish Lindsey’s reputation as an ungrateful daughter.

Everything was perfect.

On the following day, as Lindsey was deeply engrossed in her tasks, there came a gentle knock on the door of her office from the receptionist.

“Lindsey, a man claiming to be your father is here to see you.

”

Lindsey furrowed her brow.

“What’s he doing here?

Let him in.

”

With Benny’s presence, Lindsey felt no fear.

She was ready to handle whatever came her way.

Before long, Benny walked into Lindsey’s office.

Sporting a flattering grin, he sat across from her, seeming self-conscious.

“Linds, your company seems to be doing great.

Honestly, I had a narrow view of your abilities before.

I never imagined you’d be such a business.

”

“If you’ve got something on your mind, spit it out.

I’ve got a lot on my plate.

” Lindsey, without lifting her gaze, continued to attend to the ongoing business.

Benny’s smile froze momentarily, but he managed to chuckle.

“Well, here’s the deal.

You knew that Shelia had a falling out with the Perry family before.

They got so upset that they suspended the partnership between our business and my company was on the brink of bankruptcy.

I came here today to see if you could lend me money to tide the company over these tough times.

”

The pen in Lindsey’s hand paused.

She lifted her eyelids to give Benny a steady look.

“What’s it to me if your company goes bankrupt?”

Benny’s expression soured at her words.

He swallowed his anger and forced a false smile, saying, “You’re my flesh and blood.

I brought you up.

How can you claim this has no bearing on you?”

Lindsey smirked.

“Weren’t you the one who wanted to cut all ties with me before? Now that you see my company thriving, do you suddenly want to establish a connection with me? Benny Stewart, you’ve got quite the knack for playing your cards right in any situation.

”

Lindsey no longer addressed him as “Dad”.

Instead, she referred to him by his full name.

It seemed to cut deep into Benny.

His anger became too much to contain, and he yelled, “Lindsey, I’m your father, and you’re my daughter.

No one can change that fact! Now that I’m in a bind, you must lend a hand.

If you continue to ignore my business, don’t be surprised if I resort to legal action to resolve this matter.

”

Lindsey found Benny’s actions laughable.

She couldn’t fathom why he would consider suing her.

With a dismissive tone, she remarked, “Feel free to sue me if that’s what you want.

I’ll just wait for your lawyer’s correspondence.

If there’s nothing else, I’d appreciate it if you leave now.

You’re interrupting my work.

”

“Damn!”” Benny was seething with anger.

Realizing Lindsey wasn’t intimidated by the threat of legal action, Benny felt utterly powerless.

“Since you’re showing no mercy, don’t expect any from me.

You’ll regret this.

I’ll make sure you repay everything you owe me!

With that, Benny stormed out in a anger.

However, Lindsey remained unbothered by his threats and carried on with her work.
