Chapter 179

“I will announce this matter in the newspaper. From now on, you have nothing to do with the Landor family.” Charlie narrowed his eyes and asked, “Now, do you still want to protect her?”

“Forget it.” Isabella cried softly. “Let them call the police. I don’t want you to lose your family for me.”

Looking at her swollen eyes, Leo made up his mind.

Family?

His indifferent family was not as good to him as Isabella!

If that were the case, why would he break Isabella’s heart for them?

Moreover, did he care about the status of being a member of the Landor family?”

When Marc had developed Al, his company would be on the path to great success.

At that time, it was possible that even Ben would come begging for his help!

Thinking of this, Leo said stubbornly, “Kick me out of the Landor family then. Who cares? Without the Landor family, I can still succeed.”

Charlie had hoped that Leo would change his mind, but Leo’s reply had extinguished his last shred of hope.

Charlie’s gaze turned cold completely. “Alright. As you wish. From now on, you’re no longer an ungrateful descendant of the Landor family.”

“So, can you let Isabella off?” Leo asked directly. He didn’t care about being kicked out of the Landor family.

Charlie sneered. “We? Of course, we’ll let Isabella off.”

Leo and Isabella heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

‘But the law won’t let her off,” Charlie said lightly.

Their relaxed expressions froze on their faces.

Leo looked at Charlie in a frenzy, “Grandpa, I’ve already agreed to leave the Landor family. Why wouldn’t you let Isabella off?”

‘I never promised you anything from beginning to end, Charlie said calmly. “I kicked you out of the Landor family. because you’re ungrateful. As for Isabella, she did wrong, so she has to be punished.”

“Grandpa, you…” Leo stood up in agitation.

A “In the future, don’t call me Grandpa again,” Charlie said calmly. “If you insist on me letting Isabella off, I can do that, but only if your mother says that she forgives her in person.”

a “But Mom is still a vegetable,” Leo said anxiously.

Charlie said noncommittally, “Seeing that we were once grandfather and grandson, I’ll give you a week.

If your mother wakes up and forgives her within a week, I won’t call the police. But if not…”

Charlie sneered and said no more.

“A week? How is that possible?” Leo said in annoyance.

It was basically impossible for Penelope to wake up in her current condition.

“That’s none of my business.”

Charlie placed his hand on Ben’s and said lightly, “Let’s go, Ben.”

Ben nodded and followed Charlle out of the ward without hesitation.

“Hey, wait for me.” Monica chased after them in a hurry.

In the ward.

Isabella slumped powerlessly to the ground.

How was it possible for Penelope to wake up in a week?

“Leo, I don’t want to go to jail, Isabella said in a trembling voice.

“Don’t worry, Leo comforted her. “There’s definitely a way.”

He held Isabella in his arms and looked at Penelope with a disgusted expression on his face.

It was all Penelope’s fault. It was just a gentle push. How could she be so useless and become a vegetable just like that?

If she hadn’t been so fragile, none of this would have happened.

Thinking of this, Leo couldn’t help shouting at Penelope threateningly, “Wake up, or your son will die because of you.”

On the hospital bed, Penelope remained motionless.

Tears seemed to well up in the corners of her eyes.

Ben sent Charlie home and was about to help him upstairs.

A However, Charlie stopped him. “That’s enough. Don’t waste time here with me. I know you’re probably burning with anxiety now. Go and get Susan back.”

“Grandpa.” Ben looked at him.

“Go on.” Charlie nodded solemnly. “If you can’t bring Susan back, I’ll never forgive myself for the rest of my life.”

Charlie had a serious look in his eyes.

Ben took a deep breath and rushed out of the house without hesitation.

Charlie looked at his back with a trace of worry in his eyes.

Susan looked gentle, but in fact, she was very stubborn.

This time, he was foolish enough to force them apart.

He hoped that Ben could bring Susan back.

Charlie let out a sigh and returned to his room wearily.

Ben made a call immediately.

“Check all the hotels in the city immediately and see if Mrs. Landor is staying in any of them.

“Check all the guesthouses immediately and see if there are any traces of Mrs. Landor staying there.

“Hurry up! Don’t come back until you find her.”

His secretary, who was on the other end of the line, was a little confused. ‘Mrs. Landor…?”

He asked cautiously, “Which… which Mrs. Landor is 1 After all, it was said on the Internet that Ben was going to remarry Monica soon.

Ben was enraged immediately. “Susan Miller, of course! Also, delete the bullshit articles on the Internet now! Send the stupid accounts spreading bullshit like that a lawyer’s letter again.”

The secretary was shocked and agreed in a hurry.

Everyone in the Landor family got to action immediately.

The hotels in the city were going crazy.

What was going on?

Why was everyone looking for Susan recently?

A Including this batch, there were at least three batches of people looking for her in total, right?

Because someone had already checked it before, they finished checking quickly this time.

Two days later, Ben was presented with their findings.

Susan had stayed in one of the hotels, but she had only stayed for one night before leaving.

From then on, there was no trace of her.

The results of the investigation were exactly the same as those of the other batches.

“What about the guesthouses? Can’t you find her?” Ben asked.

The secretary shook his head. “No.”

She was nowhere to be found.

Ben couldn’t help but worry.

In the past few days, he had been relatively calm even without Susan by his side.

He knew what he was doing, and he also believed that he had control over the overall situation.

It seemed that he had a well–thought–out plan.

However… he had lost Susan.

“Mr. Landor, what should we do now?” The secretary asked cautiously.

Ben looked like he was going to lose his mind.

He had never seen Ben lose control like this before.

Ben didn’t say anything. He picked up his phone and called Susan over and over again.

However, it was the same as the countless times he had called her before.

The phone showed that she was on the phone.

Susan blacklisted him.

He couldn’t get through to her anymore.

He found the only email address that Susan had left him.

Susan said that if he wanted a divorce, he could send her the time there and she show up on time.

Ben sent countless messages with the time.

However, Susan never responded.

Finally, after sending hundreds of emails, he received a reply.

Was it a reply from Susan?

Ben opened it in surprise.

Then, his expression froze immediately.

In the email, there was only a copy of her ID.

There was also a short message.

[Mr. Landor, we weren’t there when we got our marriage certificate, but we got the papers done regardless. Now that we’re getting a divorce, with the divorce agreement I left behind and this copy of my ID, I believe that you’ll be able to settle it easily.

[I’ve decided to resign from my job at the Storm Group.

[However, I don’t want to give up on the Al project.

[This is the progress I have made during this period of time. Please see attached.

[Also, don’t send me any more emails. I’ve already set up to reject all of them.

[If there is any progress in the Al project, I will send you an email myself.

[Goodbye.

[And farewell.]

At the end of the email, there was a program attached.

This was the latest progress of the Al project.

Ben didn’t open it.

In fact, when he looked at the message, he felt something in his mind snapped!

Susan… was going to divorce him.

She was determined to divorce him!

She didn’t even want to see him.

Did she hate him that much?

With his fingers trembling, Ben typed frantically on the keyboard, trying to explain the situation to Susan.

However, when he finished typing and clicked to send it, the email kept showing that it was sending.

Susan… had rejected his email.

He would never be able to send this email.

Ben collapsed on the chair in a daze. His eyes were empty.

Standing next to him, the secretary was a little flustered. He asked cautiously, “Mr. Landor?

“Mr. Landor?

“Mr. Landor?”

Bang!

Ben slammed his fist on the table suddenly and stood up expressionlessly.

The secretary jumped in fear and said, “Mr. Landor, I’ll send more people to look for her. We can definitely…”

Ben’s eyes looked dull immediately, and his voice was slightly dry. “Susan is probably no longer in Anaville.”

“Huh?” The secretary was shocked.

Ben recalled the message in the email.

She said goodbye to him.

She was confident that he would not be able to find her.

In that case, she was most likely no longer in Anaville.

Ben was trembling.

Five days It had been five days.

If Susan decided to leave in these five days, she could go anywhere in the vast world.

How could he find her then?

“Mr. Landor, what should we do now…” The secretary said cautiously.

Б/В ‘Release a search notice across the country!” Ben said without hesitation.

“What… What should we put in the notice then?” The secretary asked in a trembling voice.

“Wait a minute.” Ben made a phone call.

Half an hour later, he texted a picture to his secretary.

“Check your phone. Put this picture in the notice!”

The secretary clicked to open it in a hurry.

He was stunned to see it.

In the picture that Ben sent him, a cartoon Ben was kneeling on the keyboard, weeping bitterly.

Opposite him was a cartoon Susan with her hands on her hips.

The secretary was rendered speechless.

He was screaming silently in his mind!

“Mr. Landor! Don’t you care about your image?”

“Mr… Mr. Landor, are you sure you want to put this up all over the country?” The secretary asked in a trembling voice.

Frowning, Ben seemed to have thought of something and replied, “Of course not.”

“Thank god.” The secretary couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

“I’ve thought about it. It should be put up across the world,” said Ben. “After all, it’s been five days.

Susan might have gone abroad.”

The secretary didn’t know what to say.

“By the way, remember to put up a caption too, saying ‘I was wrong. Mrs. Landor, please come home,”

Ben added.

The secretary was rendered speechle Seeing the secretary in a daze, Ben frowned. “Do you understand?”

Why did his secretary look slow? Should he hire a new assistant?

Hearing the disdain in Ben’s words, the secretary said in a hurry, “Got it. I’ll arrange for it right away!”

“I want it done as soon as possible!” Ben said.

7/B The secretary left to get it done in a hurry.
