Chapter 173
Chapter 173
In the Landor family’s residence.
Monica had arrived in a charming manner.
The housekeeper came in and reported, “Mr. Landor senior, Mr. Landor, Ms. Lynn is waiting at the door.”
“Monica?” Charlie felt a headache coming on. “Tell her to go back first.”
Ben narrowed his eyes and said, “Grandpa, let her in. I’ll go see her.”
“You?” Charlie looked at Ben suspiciously.
Ben had always hated Monica.
Why did he suddenly want to see her this time?
Ben didn’t explain. He just said softly, “I’ll be right back.”
Charlie couldn’t be bothered to care less. He simply waved his hand and said, “Go ahead.”
At the entrance of the Landor family’s residence.
Monica was overjoyed. “What? Ben agreed to see me?”
In fact, she was just here to give it a try. She had never expected that Ben would really want to see her.
As expected, she thought Ben had discovered that the two of them were the most suitable for each other.
Monica entered the house happily.
Ben was already waiting in the living room.
“Edie,” Monica called out sweetly and was about to sit next to Ben.
Ben frowned, but he didn’t correct Monica.

He said expressionlessly, “Sit opposite me.”
Monica was a little disappointed, but she still sat opposite him obediently.
As soon as she sat down, she couldn’t help but ask expectantly, “Edie, are you and Susan really going to divorce?”
Monica was indeed stupid.
When she said this, the joy in her eyes was obvious.
Ben glanced at her and said indifferently, “Have some tea.”
The maid served a cup of coffee just in time.
Monica was even happier. “How did you know I was thirsty?”
She took a sip happily and felt that she could remarry with Ben tomorrow.
Monica drank a cup of coffee and was about to speak.
“Have some coffee,” Ben added.
Monica smiled sweetly and said, “Thank you, Edie.”
She drank another glass.

As soon as she put down the teacup, a new cup of coffee was placed in front of her again.
Monica was stunned for a moment. “I… I’m not thirsty anymore.”
“I think you’re thirsty,” Ben said.
Monica said, “I’ll drink it.”
Next, as long as she wanted to speak, she would get a cup of coffee.
Even if she didn’t speak, the maid would urge her to drink coffee in a low voice.
In the end, Monica felt like she was about to turn into a cup of coffee.
She still wanted to stay in the Landor family’s residence.
Chapter 173
However, her stomach really didn’t allow it.
Monica covered her stomach and said with some difficulty, “Edie, I still have something to do at home. I’ll leave first today.”
Ben calmly gestured for her to leave.
Monica hurriedly covered her stomach and slipped away.
She had been too embarrassed to go to the washroom in the Landor family’s residence. If she stayed any longer, she would pee in her pants!
After watching Monica leave, Ben asked a maid next to him, “How is it going? Have you taken the photos?”
“Yes.” The maid quickly handed over the phone.
Ben glanced at it and narrowed his eyes slightly.
In the photo, Ben and Monica were sitting opposite each other.
Monica lowered her head and drank her coffee shyly. Ben sat opposite her leisurely.
Just by looking at the scene, it was quite warm.
“Not bad,” Ben said indifferently. “Didn’t Isabella give you a lot of money a few days ago for you to tell her about the Landor family’s situation?”
The maid was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. “Mr… Mr. Landor! I… I didn’t reveal
anything.”
“Doesn’t that mean you got the money for nothing?” Ben looked at her with a faint smile.
The maid trembled and knelt down in an instant. “I was wrong, Mr. Landor. Please don’t
kick me out.”
Ben looked at her expressionlessly. “Now, you have a chance to atone for your sins. It’s up to you whether you want it or not.”
The maid nodded desperately. “I’ll do whatever Mr. Landor says. I can do anything you say!”

“It’s not that serious.” Ben couldn’t help but look cold. “All you need to do is send this photo to Isabella and tell her that Monica and I talked about a lot of things of the past. We talked happily all morning. We might remarry.”
“Huh?” The maid didn’t understand.
They had a good chat?
They talked about a lot of things of the past?
Why didn’t she know?
She only saw Monica drinking coffee.
Ben glanced at her. “Do as I say.”
The maid was shocked. “Yes, Mr. Landor!”
How could she, a nobody, figure out what Ben wanted to do.
All she needed to do was to do as she was told.
This time, she had to make amends! Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
The maid quickly sent the photo over and then told Isabella what Ben had taught her.
When Isabella received the news, she was dumbfounded.
She kept roaring in her heart, “What’s going on?
It took her a lot of effort to drive Susan away.
Why was there another Monica?
Everything that had happened in her previous life proved that Monica was a complete fool.
How could Ben fall in love with her?
However, the photos couldn’t be faked.
Ben hated Monica so much that he probably wouldn’t even want to see her.
However, he saw her, sitting opposite her and watching her drinking coffee.
Isabella felt that her head was buzzing.
Could it be that after Ben discovered the true colors of Susan, and he suddenly disliked
smart women?
At this time, Monica, who was stupid and had everything written all over her face, appeared. This made Ben feel more at ease, did it?
If that was the case…
She had worked so hard all for Monica?
Isabella was about to go crazy.
No, she would never allow such a thing to happen.
“Continue to keep an eye on them.” Isabella replied.
Then she tidied up and hurried to the Lynn family.
She wanted to see Monica with her own eyes and see if she was going to remarry Ben.
The reason she was going to the Lynn family’s residence was obvious.
She kept paying back the money to Mr. Lynn one after another. Because she had been paying consistently, Mr. Lynn had been more lenient on her..
Now, it was time for her to pay back the last sum of money.
She went to the Lynn family’s residence to pay back the money, so Mr. Lynn had no reason
not to see her.
At that time, she would be able to carefully observe Monica’s condition.
As expected, Mr. Lynn did not shut her out when she arrived. He directly asked the maid to bring her in.
When Isabella arrived at the living room, all the members of the Lynn family were there. Monica was showing off to her mother with a happy expression.
Chapter 173
“Mom, you don’t know how good Edie is to me today. He was afraid that I’d be thirsty, so he gave me such an expensive coffee as if it were water. I think he won’t refuse if I suggest that we get back together.” Monica had a dreamy look on her face.
Isabella’s heart skipped a beat and she quickly observed Monica’s expression.
Monica’s happiness was not fake at all.
Of course, a woman like Monica couldn’t act at all.
So… Ben really chose Monica?
Isabella had a bad feeling.
However, she didn’t know that Monica could imagine everything if she treated her well. She really thought that Ben was going to remarry her, so of course, she wouldn’t be acting her happiness.
“Ms. Smith, let’s go to the study to talk.” Mr. Lynn stood up.
Isabella did not respond.
“Ms. Smith?” Mr. Lynn called her a few more times.
Isabella suddenly snapped back to her senses and hurriedly said, “Yes.”
Mr. Lynn looked at her suspiciously and said, “Let’s go to the study to talk.”
“Okay.” Isabella did not dare to show any more flaws and followed Mr. Lynn upstairs.
