Chapter 332 Wishful Thinking
Out of reflex, Ben shuddered but he quickly said, “I got it. Aunt Lara, don’t worry. I’ll definitely make her happy.” Lara said, “Alright. Later on, be sure to talk sweetly.”
Ben nodded. While they were chatting, Eugene had led Eric and Kelly out of the monitoring room. At once, Lara stood up and walked over to them. “Eric, Kelly, please calm down. It’s all Ben’s fault and I’ve scolded him for hours just now.
However, since what’s done is done, why don’t we think of a solution to settle it? Ben has already made his stand clear—he has always liked Aleena and he’s willing to marry her. If you’re fine with it, why don’t we make this marriage happen?”
Indifferently, Eric and Kelly stared at Lara, seemingly unmoved. For the sake of their past relationship, they didn’t humiliate Lara. Besides, they hadn’t found any substantial evidence so they couldn’t argue groundlessly, which was why they didn’t go berserk.
Yet, things were happening as predicted by Eugene. Ben wants to marry our daughter? Impossible!
“Do you think we’ll marry our daughter to a man who took advantage of her?” Kelly mocked. Her words were totally not what Lara had expected. How did the situation turn out this way?
Wasn’t marrying their daughter to her nephew the only option for them after the scandal happened?
Lara looked at Eugene. “Eugene, didn’t you show the footage to Uncle Eric and Aunt Kelly?”
Kelly sneered, “Aleena is unconscious due to the drug but Ben is conscious. We’ve done you a huge favor for not getting to the bottom of the fact that he took advantage of my daughter. Saving her is a nice way to put it, but I call b*llshit! If that was another man, I would have charged him for raping my daughter!”
Squinting, Lar’s face darkened. “Kelly, you’ll ruin the relationship between our families if you put it that way.”
After that, she dragged Ben over and asked, “Ben, what actually happened? Why did you go to Aleena’s room? Did she invite you in or did you take advantage of her?”
Ben was quick-witted. “I-I didn’t, Aunt Lara. I like Aleena but I didn’t take advantage of her. I only went to rest in the room after drinking wine and I truly didn’t expect that Aleena would come in. She asked me to help her and I agreed because I couldn’t bear to see her suffer…”
