Chapter 244
The way Benjamin said it made it sound like he was someone very close to Molly. His attitude gave Sean an indescribable irritation.
Sean slightly pressed his lips. He remained calm as he said, “That won’t be necessary. It’s my pleasure to take care of them since I’ve been eating the meals she cooks every day.”
His remarks were an innuendo that would leave ample room for interpretation.
Without others noticing, Benjamin’s hand by his side clenched into a fist. At that moment, it was as if the world had fallen silent, and gun smoke had filled the air between them. Molly had no idea about the tussle between Sean and Benjamin. She was busy dealing with Abigail.
‘Sean canceled the deal with Noland Group to avoid rumors about the marriage alliance between him and Abigail. By rights, given Abigail’s character, she should resent me. But tonight, when we met again, she acted like nothing had happened. What is she up to?’ Molly did not know Abigail well enough to figure out her motive. As she was still trying to figure out Abigail’s intention, Abigail grabbed Molly’s hands like they were very close friends and said, “Dr. May, which country did you work in before you came back to Norlon?”
“Fomanesia,” Molly replied impassively.
Abigail was delighted to hear that. It was as if she had gotten the answer she wanted.
“Be my guest, Dr. May.” Abigail thought Molly was just pretending to be modest. She made up her mind to introduce Molly to Benjamin so she could make Molly a laughing stock. She wanted everyone to know how cheap Molly was.
Abigail stuck herself to Molly like shit to a shovel with her hypocrisy. In the beginning, Molly
would still give her some perfunctory responses. But Abigail just would not give up, and gradually, Molly became annoyed. At that time, someone from a distance was waving at Molly. Molly took a closer look and realized it was her friend, Benjamin Forts. “I couldn’t find you. I thought you didn’t come,” said Benjamin, who was standing before Molly. There was a gentle smile on his face. He could hardly conceal his joy the moment he saw Molly.
“Of course I would come. We’re friends what.” While Molly and Benjamin were in a merry conversation, Abigail standing beside Molly was dumbstruck. “You two know each other?” Abigail asked tentatively. Her feeling had turned sour when she saw the way they interacted with each other.
