Chapter 117

“Well, I didn’t believe her.” Susan nodded and showed Ben her chat history with Isabella.

If it weren’t for the fact that she had proved that Ben was innocent, she wouldn’t have taken out the chat history at all. She would’ve just left and not bothered with Ben anymore!

But now, because all of this was part of Isabella’s plan, they could unravel and examine everything.

Ben quickly looked through the chat history and immediately realized why Susan almost believed Isabella.

Isabella actually knew in advance that the scars on his face were fake?

Furthermore, the opening words, “I’ll only drop my disguise for the woman I like,” were actually said by Isabella in advance.

No wonder Susan had such a reaction.

But Ben didn’t understand. Even if Isabella found out through various means that his scars were fake.

But those opening words were only in his mind, and no one knew them except himself.

How did Isabella manage to say those words without making any mistakes?

Considering all the peculiar things Isabella had done before.

Ben was lost in thought.

“Is this Isabella really that resourceful?” Susan asked curiously. “I didn’t know you were at the Green Light Hotel, but she knew. I didn’t know that your scars were fake, but she knew. The most terrible thing is that she even knew what you were going to say?”

The more Susan spoke, the more suspicious she became. “You truly don’t have anything happening with her?”

“Absolutely not!” Ben replied without hesitation. “I wouldn’t do something so distasteful.”

Susan snorted, “Then tell me, what’s going on with her? She can’t be a seer, can she?”

Seer?

Ben narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, “It’s actually possible!”

“Are you kidding?” Susan looked at Ben in confusion.

“Listen to me, Susan,” Ben contemplated and analyzed, “I had a feeling something was off with Grandpa’s situation before. Isabella claimed Grandpa had a heart attack just by noticing his flushed face. That reason seems a bit far–fetched! The next day, when Grandpa did have a heart attack, she intentionally came to the Landor’s house. What’s more, even before Grandpa showed any signs of a heart attack, she and Leo seemed slightly anxious, as if… they knew Grandpa would have a heart attack later.”

Susan was a little confused. “Do you suspect…”

“I suspect that Isabella already knew that Grandpa would have a heart attack.” Ben said without hesitation, “I’ve also got a hunch that the lifesaving act the next day was merely a calculated move on her part. We didn’t even know Grandpa had heart trouble, yet Isabella did? That’s pretty unbelievable.

Back then, I just had a nagging feeling that something was off and didn’t dwell on it. But now, looking at this situation along with everything else, it seems like she might indeed have some sort of foresight.”

Susan said, “… I still can’t shake the feeling that it’s a bit surreal.”

“No, that’s very likely. That’s the truth.” Ben thought of more and more details and was almost certain of this.

At the banquet that day, Susan and Timothy were confined to the same room on the assumption that both of them were drunk.

However, before this, even Susan herself didn’t realize her tolerance for alcohol was so low, but Isabella did.

She even took the opportunity to set up a trap.

If it weren’t for the fact that Timothy was a decent man, her scheme might have succeeded.

Of course, Ben had always kept what happened that night a secret from Susan.

Now he was going to continue to keep it a secret and didn’t say it out loud.

But deep down, he had almost reached a conclusion about Isabella. For some inexplicable reason, she might genuinely possess the ability to foresee the future.

Q 13:20 Hence, Isabella knew that his scars were not real, she knew the hotel he was staying in, and she even seemed to anticipate what he was going to say.

No matter how unbelievable it was, this assumption was probably very close to the truth.

Susan had a headache. “The ability to foresee the future? Doesn’t that mean that she’s terrifying?”

“If we didn’t know before, it would have been terrible. But now that we’ve figured it out, it means nothing,” Ben said with contempt.

The last time Isabella had successfully plotted against him, it was solely because of her ability to foresee the future and her acting skills.

But since he already knew it, Isabella’s ability became worthless.

No matter how much Ben knew, she was still an ordinary person. He had countless ways.

to handle her.

“What’s your plan?” Susan couldn’t help but ask when she saw how confident Ben was.

“That’s not the point.” Ben didn’t answer directly. He glanced at Susan and suddenly wore an injured expression. “You slapped me pretty hard earlier. My face stings a bit.”

Susan felt a little guilty. “Didn’t you just say it didn’t hurt?”

“It’s okay if my face hurts, but I can’t bear the pain in my heart,” Ben said, feeling increasingly aggrieved. “Susan, I never expected you to doubt me like this. Who do you think I am?”

Susan had an uneasy look on her face. “I… I’m sorry.”

But Isabella was so unusual. Who would have guessed that she had the ability to foresee the future?

Even now, Susan was still skeptical.

“It’s useless to apologize,” Ben said calmly.

“Then what do you want?” Susan asked, her eyes darting around.

When Ben saw that Susan was darting around, avoiding his gaze, he couldn’t help lowering. his voice.

“Susan, don’t you dare look at me?”

“How is that possible?” Susan straightened her neck and denied it, but she still did not look at Ben.

“Then look at me,” Ben said.

“Sure,” Susan said stubbornly and then looked at Ben.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Her face visibly turned red.

Susan quickly lowered her head.

Ben suddenly felt an unprecedented joy in his heart. He asked, “Are you… shy?”

“No! It’s too hot,” Susan argued.

“The AC is on, and it’s cool in here,” Ben said.

“I’m wearing too many clothes.” Susan continued to explain.

“You’re only wearing a T–shirt. Do you want to take it off? I won’t stop you,” Ben said.

Susan was speechless.

$

She lifted her head and gritted her teeth as she retorted, “I’m just shy. So what?”

Ben looked at her with a smile.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Susan couldn’t stand it anymore and lowered her head timidly!

She thought…

Her husband was an ugly man.

*EN I 13:20 But this ugly guy suddenly turned into a handsome man.

And he was even a bit too handsome.

Now, Ben was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life.

However, this alone wasn’t sufficient to affect Susan so deeply.

The point was…

He had changed a lot.

In the past, when Susan was angry, she just wanted to lash out at him, she wasn’t very shocked.

But now, as she gazed at Ben and reminisced about the old Ben…

There was always this strange sensation… of having an affair.

It was simply… exhilarating.
