Chapter 108

Looking at Ben at a loss, Susan felt an even stronger affection for him.

She said softly, “It’s okay, Ben. I won’t dislike you.”

Ben was confused.

“So, what exactly had happened?” he thought.

However, Susan had no intention of explaining.

Susan firmly believed that Ben might not be able to behave sexually.

Ben was too embarrassed to say it himself, but it was still an illness after all. She could accept it, she was willing to go through thick and thin with him. However, what if it could be cured?

Susan glanced at Ben, thinking that if she directly said that he should see a doctor, Ben would lose face.

In that case, maybe think of another treatment first?

Susan suddenly had a lot of thoughts in her mind.

However, no matter how the treatment was carried out, it was not something that could be done overnight.

Susan first kept this matter in her mind, then got up to freshen up and went downstairs with Ben.

Early in the morning, the Landor’s house was very lively.

The hall was filled with all kinds of exquisitely packaged gifts. Penelope was bustling about with excitement, while Leo stood nearby boasting.

“Grandpa, Isabella comes from a noble family too, and she cares for me deeply, which is why she couldn’t resist doing that. I don’t want to let her down. Given her family background, she’s a suitable match for the Landor family. I plan to speak with her first, and if everything goes smoothly, we might even visit Riowert soon.”

A Leo sounded pleased as he spoke.

He didn’t notice Charlie’s expressionless face at all.

Charlie couldn’t fathom what Leo, that bastard, had to be so proud of.

Was it worth bragging about doing such a thing in front of so many people?

Leo went back and forth in the morning as if he were telling everyone that Isabella had slept with him.

The more Charlie thought about it, the more headache he felt.

However, just as Leo had said.

Isabella came from a noble background, and she was a nice person. With their genuine love for each other and their shared intimacy, it was necessary to accelerate their wedding plans.

Therefore, Charlie tacitly acknowledged Penelope getting busy preparing gifts.

Ben took a glance and roughly understood the situation.

Only Susan was completely at a loss.

She was so drunk last night that she didn’t know that she and Timothy were locked up in the same room, narrowly avoiding a potentially troublesome situation.

Of course, she didn’t know what happened between Isabella and Leo.

“What’s going on?” Susan asked in a low voice.

Ben glanced at Susan who looked confused. He reached out and gently rubbed her hair. “Nothing. It seems that Leo and Isabella couldn’t resist their desires and were intimate, and others saw it yesterday.”

He did not tell Susan about the conspiracy behind it.

Susan didn’t need to know.

Because he would shield her from all the storms and hardships.

A “Others saw it?” Susan Govered her mouth. When she pictured that scene, she felt a little embarrassed.

“I heard that almost all the guests witnessed it,” Ben added.

Susan didn’t know what to say.

After a while, Susan came to her senses and said, “In that case, we have to ask Leo to propose marriage as soon as possible. Isabella is a girl; her reputation could be damaged because of this.”

Susan did not know what Isabella had done and believed her to be a good girl. Naturally, her assumptions followed suit.

Ben just smiled.

“I had no idea Isabella actually likes Leo,” Susan pondered for a moment and couldn’t help but applaud. “No wonder. I thought she was trying to win your favor the moment she showed up. It turns out she has feelings for Leo and wants to get in your good graces. It seems I had misunderstood her before.”

Ben didn’t deny it, but he still said, “It’s hard to say if they can get married. But Susan, remember, Isabella is not as simple as you think. Stay away from her in the future.”

“Eh?”

Susan didn’t know why Ben would say that, but she kept his words in mind and nodded silently.

“Ben, Susan.” At this moment, Leo also saw them. He waved enthusiastically. He said, “Come help me out. What gifts should I bring for the proposal?”

Ben and Susan walked over.

“Grandpa. Susan sat down next to Charlie, grabbed his hand as usual, and gently rubbed his fingertips.

Charlie found comfort in having his fingertips rubbed. So, whenever Susan saw Charlie, she would rub them for him.

A Charlie felt much better when he experienced Susan’s filial devotion.

Charlie glanced at Leo and said calmly, “It’s just a marriage proposal. Don’t make it a big deal.”

“Grandpa, she’s from a noble family. We can’t be too casual,” Leo said hastily. “Ben, mom and I don’t have enough money. Can you help us?”

Before Ben could speak, Charlie frowned. “Why are you short of money? Didn’t I just transfer you two million dollars?”

“Two million is not enough… I remember When Ben married Susan, didn’t he spend nearly ten million dollars on the wedding? Isabella comes from a better family. I need to double the budget at the very least.”

Leo said confidently.

Susan lowered her head.

She recalled that the Landor family did spend a fortune on her wedding with Ben, and she was able to manage the remaining budget.

Carl and Jane wanted to take a portion of the remaining budget and pocket some for themselves.

However, Ben was well–known for his difficult personality, so they didn’t dare to do so.

Thinking of this, Susan suddenly understood why Ben allowed Penelope to spread rumors about him.

Sometimes, it felt good if others felt intimidated by him.

Charlie was amused by Leo’s words. He grabbed something casually and threw it at Leo. “Shut up.

How can she compare with Susan? Susan’s status is higher than Isabella’s, so it’s natural for Susan to have a larger wedding budget. This time, you can only get 2 million dollars at most. Don’t even think about getting any more from me.”

“Grandpa, you can’t be so biased.” Leo was anxious. “Why can’t Isabella be compared to Susan?

Isabella even saved your life.”

A JMM F 12% 12:28 “Then let her come and tell me in person that I still owe her a favor. If she asks for 10 million dollars, I’ll give it to her as my gift to her! But it can’t be regarded as a wedding budget,” Charlie said bluntly.

Charlie was a man with very clear thinking. Isabella had indeed saved him, remembered her kind gesture.

“Alright.” Leo thought for a moment and agreed.

He thought that Isabella was going to marry him anyway.

Every woman in the world had to be obedient to their husbands.

and he By then, he would ask Isabella for ten million dollars from Charlie. Then, he would have the startup funds.

Since Ben could develop the Storm Group before.

Leo always felt that if he was given enough money, he could definitely create a second. super–powerful chaebol.

Leo was indeed very confident!
