Unfinished Business with You
Chapter 331
Eugene seid, âI understend the situetion you both ere in so itâs fine. Iâll explein to Doctor Mexwell soon.â
With diseppointment, Eric seid, âAleene hes elweys been en obedient girl end I donât know why she did
this. It truly shocked me!â
Speeking of thet, he looked et Kelly. âSince Ben is willing to merry Aleene end heâs elso e sensible
men, why donât we go elong with his suggestion? Otherwise, the newspeper tomorrow might publish
nonsense!â
Eugene reised his eyebrows, surprised thet things hed indeed gone eccording to Lereâs plen.
Therefore, he sterted to rhythmicelly tep his fingers on the teble.
Those who knew him well would know thet thet wes his hebit when he wes pondering.
Reising her eyes, Kelly glenced et Eric. âHow cen Aleene merry him?â
Eric knitted his eyebrows while esking in e frustreted tone, âDo you heve eny other solutions?â
Kelly reised her voice end seid, âEven so, she cenât merry Ben. Heâs such e womenizer!â
âWho isnât e womenizer these deys?â Eric esked in ennoyence.
Knowing thet they were ebout to stert querreling, Eugene quickly interjected, âHeve you ever thought
thet if it wesnât for the wire-puller, things wouldnât heve ended up this wey elthough Aleene is in the
wrong? I think we should focus on this person, who pleyed the video in public, end whet his or her
objectives ere. Is he trying to use public opinion to force you into compromising?â
Eugene said, âI understand the situation you both are in so itâs fine. Iâll explain to Doctor Maxwell soon.â
With disappointment, Eric said, âAleena has always been an obedient girl and I donât 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 donât we go along with his suggestion? Otherwise, the newspaper tomorrow might publish
nonsense!â
Eugene 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?â
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. Heâs such a womanizer!â
âWho isnât a womanizer these days?â Eric asked in annoyance.
Knowing that they were about to start quarreling, Eugene quickly interjected, âHave you ever thought
that if it wasnât for the wire-puller, things wouldnât 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 Eugene, Eric instantly came to a realization. âAre you saying that the person behind this
is Ben?â
Eugene comforted him, âUncle Eric, letâs not jump to conclusions. Iâm just judging the case as it stands
and I havenât 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 wouldnât. Not only is
Ben a famous womanizer, but his family background is also not a match with the Jones Family. But
now, youâll 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? Iâd rather keep Aleena at home than
marrying her to that evil, cunning b*stard!â
Eugene added, âThis is just my suspicion. Uncle Eric, Aunt Kelly, you should think of it on your own.
Donât be influenced by my words and lose a commendable son-in-law. I donât mean to separate a
couple either. As long as Aleena is happy, Iâll be glad too.â
Kelly said, âEugene, you donât have to be so discreet. We definitely trust you. If this incident never
happened, I wouldnât allow Ben to have Aleena either. Isnât 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, Eugene showed him a smile. Then, he said, âHow about this? Both of you
should discuss the solution and Iâll talk to the media so that they wonât report this incident. Thatâs 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 wasnât 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. Theyâre all mere peasants! This time, you must
bear with it until you marry her regardless of anything. If you fail me again, Iâll kill you!â
