Chapter 29 Settle The Score

Annalise was dressed in a long purple gown. Her high heels made her look even taller. Her hair was tied into a bun, and two strands of hair hung down naturally by her temples. Her fair skin accentuated her elegant. demeanor, and she looked absolutely gorgeous. Her beauty caught everyone’s attention right away.

The moment Benjamin saw how pretty she looked, he was extremely regretful.

Although he only got close to Annalise because of Abigail at first, he knew that she was beautiful when they were dating. He also liked her personality very much. Annalise was very reasonable and good- tempered. There was almost no need to coax her.

However, Abigail often told him that her cousin was rustic and that Annalise had already gone back to live in the city, but she always liked wearing jeans and T-shirts and driving a car worth 30 thousand dollars.

Some people were used to being poor and would not change easily. Even if others gave them hundreds of millions of dollars, they would not know how to spend it and would still act like before, not wearing any makeup and wearing cheap clothes worth a few dollars while not feeling ashamed.

After hearing those words several times, he also felt that Annalise was rustic.

Once he saw Julian standing beside Annalise again, he furrowed his brows tightly.

“It seems that the man is really pursuing her,” he pondered.

His heart was a tempest of emotions. The man beside Annalise exuded an air of superiority, and she even gave him a slap in the face the previous time.

Meanwhile, Abigail accepted the proposal of a stranger. All he wanted to do was curse out loud.

After a moment of hesitation, he called Abigail directly.

However, she hung up the phone.

He saw her pick up the phone and hang up, then nestled in the man’s arms and smiled apologetically.

Benjamin was so angry that he dialed her number again.

This time, she answered the call and asked impatiently, “What’s the matter?”

“Abigail, what do you mean by this?” he questioned.

“What are you talking about?” she inquired.

“We just slept together a few days ago. Why did you suddenly accept someone else’s proposal?” Benjamin said angrily.

“Oh, are you talking about Alexander? You’re here as well? We fell in love at first sight. Yes, we plan to get married and spend the rest of our lives together. Love is such a beautiful thing. Thank you for your blessing!” Abigail completely ignored Benjamin’s cursing on the other end of the phone and thanked him directly before. hanging up the phone.

“Damn it!” Benjamin was so angry that he cursed again. Subsequently, he held his phone up and wanted to smash it but endured it.

Later, he walked straight into the banquet hall.

The host had started to warm up the atmosphere.

The Parks family were all special guests, and their seats were in the first row in the middle.

Madeline’s seat was in the back.

In the beginning, when the organizer called to ask if she had time to attend, he planned to have her sit in the front row. However, she asked for a seat at the back.

Even though she usually looked very high-profile, she just wanted to be a high-profile rich woman and did not want anyone to know her other identity.

Since Madeline sat in the back, of course, Annalise wanted to sit in the back as well. Thus, Julian changed seats with the people at the back and sat next to Madeline.

As soon as Benjamin came in, he saw Julian sitting in the back row with Annalise. On the contrary, his seat was in the third row. It was obvious who had the higher social status.

He could not help but snort lightly and muse, “How dare someone who couldn’t even sit in the front three rows look down on me and say that I’m narrow-minded?”

At that thought, he changed his seat with the people in the front row of Julian and sat in front of him.

After sitting down, he turned around and said, “This world is so small. We meet again.”

Julian raised his eyebrows slightly. “I guess it’s easy to meet people you despise.”

“Haha!” Benjamin sneered twice and added, “I thought I would see you in the first row today after hearing what you said the other day. This is unexpected. Tsk tsk!”

“You aren’t any better, though.” Julian quirked his eyebrows in amusement.

“No, I’m sitting in this row because I changed seats with someone. On the contrary, you’re sitting in this row because you only deserve to sit in this row!” Benjamin mocked.

In response, Julian smiled. “How do you know I didn’t change seats with others?”

Benjamin replied sarcastically, “Why don’t you stop being so stubborn?”

Hearing that, Julian did not bother to talk to him anymore.

He crossed his arms, and it was obvious that he did not want to talk to Benjamin anymore.

He felt that since he was already there for the charity auction, there were plenty of opportunities to humiliate Benjamin.

On the other hand, Benjamin felt that Julian stopped talking to him because the latter was feeling guilty. He also thought of humiliating Julian later.

Looking at Julian’s rebuttal to Benjamin, Annalise felt delighted.

Madeline noticed Julian and Benjamin going head-to-head and felt that something was weird.

“What’s going on? Anna dumped Benjamin, and now, he mistakenly thinks that Anna and Julian are together, so he’s jealous?” she thought.

Just as she was about to approach Annalise and ask her what was going on, she heard two women whispering to each other. “Did you see that? That man next to Annalise is so handsome. He’s so good- looking.”

“The man who proposed to Abigail is very handsome too! It’s really hilarious. Let me tell you. When Benjamin was in a relationship with Annalise, he cheated on her with Abigail, but in the end, both women dumped him.” “Pfft! Are you serious?”

“Shh! Keep it down. It’s true. The news is reliable.”

“Haha. This is incredible.”

Madeline listened to the conversation between the two women and could not hold back her anger.

“Benjamin actually cheated on Anna with Abigail?” she pondered.

Immediately, she leaned closer to Annalise and asked in a low voice, “Anna, is it true?”

“What?” The latter was a little confused.

“Check your WhatsApp,” uttered Madeline.

Annalise instantly checked her WhatsApp and saw the message from Madeline: “Benjamin cheated on you with your bitchy cousin?”

In the past, she never called Abigail bitchy cousin but a loser cousin.

Seeing that Annalise did not want to say anything, she sent another message: “Tell me the truth!!!”

Staring at the three exclamation marks, Annalise replied: “Yes.”

Enraged, Madeline gritted her teeth and slammed her phone onto the table. “They just wait!”

All of a sudden, Benjamin felt a surge of resentment aura behind him. He immediately looked back and saw Madeline glance at him contemptuously.

He was certain that he had never offended such a woman and frowned subconsciously, feeling baffled. Thinking that the people in the back row were just ordinary rich people and some of them were not even rich,

he naturally relaxed his brows. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“She must be jealous because I’m rich,” he mentally remarked.

At that time, the host had invited the auctioneer to the stage.

After the host announced that the charity gala would officially begin, the staff pushed out the first auction item a limited edition bottle of perfume donated by Yvonne Fuller, a well-known perfumer in Chanaea.

Once the auctioneer made some explanation, he announced the starting bid of 7,500 dollars.

In an instant, everyone started to bid for the perfume.
