Actually, Ben wanted to calm her down, but Jessica’s hostility irritated him. He was going to let her cool

off a bit before calming her down, but Olivia barged in halfway through. Now he was humiliated, and it

would be hard to get Jessica back. If Jessica canceled the marriage, his dad and aunt would kill him.

Actually, Ben wanted to calm her down, but Jessica’s hostility irritated him. He was going to let her cool

off a bit before calming her down, but Olivia barged in halfway through. Now he was humiliated, and it

would be hard to get Jessica back. If Jessica canceled the marriage, his dad and aunt would kill him.

As he worried himself over this matter, Anna approached him and acted coy. “What should we do,

Ben? Will Olivia tell everyone about this?”

Ben’s face fell. “So what? We did nothing anyway!” he said impatiently.

Anna thought about it and nodded. Ben was right, for they didn’t do anything in public.

“You know that woman?” Ben asked.

At the mention of Olivia, disdain showed on Anna’s face. “She’s my half-sister. Seven years ago, she

slept with a beggar after she got drunk, and she was pregnant with a b*stard. My dad thinks she’s a

disgrace, so he sent her overseas. She only came back recently, but for some reason, I bump into her

everywhere I go.”

Ben cupped her chin and snorted. “Does she have a grudge against you?”

Anna leaned against him and raised her chin. “Not openly.”

“So she does hold a grudge against you.”

“Well, I arranged that beggar to sleep with her that night.”

Ben bit her lip. “I knew it. You’re naughty.”

Anna felt a stab of pain from her lip, and she wanted to get back at Ben, but he pushed her away.

“Don’t mess around. I have to go to the Smith Residence after this.”

“And I don’t have to go home? Look at what you did. How should I explain this?” She glared at him.

Ben grinned. “Just say it’s because you were craving for some meat.”

Anna rolled her eyes. “And you say I’m naughty. Well, you’re the big bad here.”

“We’re the same, actually.” Leaning forward, he kissed her again. “Go home. I have to go back now, or

it will be bad if Jessica tells on me first.”

Anna was an understanding woman, at least in affairs. She knew when she should make her move and

when to retreat. This relationship with Ben would go nowhere, and she knew it. All she wanted was to

get the praises and passion that was lost in her relationship with Hugo, so she didn’t mind this.

“Call me when you can.” She went out of the car, then Ben’s car drove toward the Smith Residence.

...

When Eugene and Olivia came down, they saw Jessica sitting on the lounge’s sofa. “Why are you still

here?” Olivia was surprised.

Jessica came over, smiling. “I’ve been waiting for you.”

“Do you need anything?” Olivia frowned.

“I’ll be waiting for you in the car,” Eugene said calmly.

That was directed toward Olivia, so she grunted. She wanted to refuse, but when she remembered he

had something to tell her, Olivia didn’t say anything else.

Jessica stared at Eugene. “What’s your relationship with him?”

“I treated his grandfather’s illness,” replied Olivia.

“Just that?” Jessica asked.

“Yeah. What else do you think it is?” Olivia frowned.

“That’s Eugene Nolan. The Eugene Nolan. I’ve never heard of him waiting for anyone. It’s always the

other way around,” exclaimed Jessica.

Olivia was speechless. “Yeah, because you want to talk to me. What do you need?”
