You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70 Another Illegitimate Child

Benjamin chucked his phone into his pocket after the meeting. He made his way back to his office, where Kingsley had already been waiting for him inside.

With a grim look on his face, an unmistakable aura of tension emanated bleakly off Benjamin. When Kingsley noticed that, he tensed up with anxiety.

“Listen to me, Boss. Let me explain!” uttered Kingsley.

With his dark, brooding gaze, Benjamin cast a piercing side-eye at him that shot shivers right down Kingsley’s spine.

Without haste, Kingsley cleared his throat and explained, “Boss, how can you still take it lying down after your precious Sweetheart was mistreated? Even if you can take it under your stride, I can’t hold back any longer!” Even though he was agitated, Kingsley did not expose Gavin and the reason he was here, which was to see if Benjamin’s paternal love would surmount feelings over an old flame.

“Who gave you the picture?” asked Benjamin, glaring from the corners of his eyes. The answer to that was obvious, but he wanted to hear it from Kingsley.

“Well, I saw it on Gavin’s phone!” replied Kingsley.

As Benjamin’s somber face remained emotionless, Kingsley could not fathom what was on his mind.

Meanwhile, Danna was still trying to get Benjamin on the phone. With his gaze darkened, Benjamin felt the wrath of fury rage through him as he retrieved his phone.

Kingsley sensed that and extended his head out with a glance. “Hah! To think she has the cheek to call you up now. I’m sure she is going to plead for her innocence. Don’t forget how she threatened me earlier on.”

“She threatened you?” Benjamin rolled his eyes up in a curious gaze at Kingsley.

Kingsley handed over a recording and said, “I think you already know about it. Danna is still adamant that she didn’t do it. She sure is cruel. How can she bear to do that to her own child, especially when Gavin is so adorable?”

Continuing on, Kingsley said, “She thought you would marry her because of Gavin. When you refused, she vented her anger on the poor kid. How inhumane! Are you aware that Danna had mistreated Gavin in the past?”

Benjamin’s dashing face turned sullenly grim after he heard that.

In a split second, Kingsley shot a forceful glance at him. “You are his father. I’m asking you if you are aware!”

“If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have let her mistreat my son,” fumed Benjamin as he glared back at Kingsley vehemently.

Benjamin glowered at him without answering his question. “Next time, give me a heads up before releasing any news publicly!”

With his eyebrows raised, Kingsley was miffed. Hey, it wasn’t me.

“Are you feeling sorry for that woman? My heart aches for Gavin the Sweetheart. What tough luck for him to be borne to a callous pair of parents. No one loves him in this world!” Kingsley lamented sarcastically.

With his upturned eyes narrowed, cold-blooded hostility crept up all over Benjamin when he heard that.

Kingsley quivered slightly and stopped short, biting his tongue in apprehension when he noticed that. With an awkward chuckle, he muttered, “Tell me the truth. Doesn’t it break your heart to see Gavin like this? What are you going to do about it?”

“Since you unearthed the news, handle the aftermath yourself! Just stop the excessive exposure of Gavin from now,” warned Benjamin coldly. He did not want the current events to do more harm than good to Gavin in his formative years.

“Then, let me get the internet ghostwriters to divert public attention by changing the tides,” cajoled Kingsley carefully.

The netizens were torn between two opposing camps for now. While one camp gravitated toward sympathy for Gavin, the other camp were mainly internet ghostwriters hired by Danna to back her up. Hence, it was necessary to shift the focus away from Gavin in order for the public to redirect their attention to Danna.
