Chapter 29
The driver sent Susan home with mixed feelings.
He suddenly perceived that Mrs. Landor seemed to be made for Mr. Landor.
At the very least, no other one dared to declare his or her protection to Mr. Landor…
Ben said, “I have to go to the office and I will come back for dinner tonight.
Susan did a double- take.
a
Despite his frequency of being home for dinner recently, this was the first time he had told her in advance. It made her feel like they were really a married couple.
“Got it,” Susan responded obediently.
Ben resisted the urge to fondle her hair again, and let the driver drive away.
At Storm Group.
Ben asked his assistant to come in.
The video, received from Joe, was played before the assistant and then copied for him to keep.
“I will prosecute Yana Miller for reputation infringement,” ordered Ben calmly. “Make some arrangements.”
The assistant froze for a moment and couldn’t believe his ears.
Reputation infringement?
$
When did his boss have a reputation?
No, no, no. His boss took nothing of his reputation at all.
“You don’t understand?” Ben frowned.
The assistant was startled and hurriedly replied, “No problem. I’ll be quick. Miller Yana’s intention to slander Mr. Landor is in evidence. There are many other people on the spot. There are various elements to make sense. If sued, Ms. Miller is doomed to failure. But it’s just… a trivial matter, after all. Even if we win the trial, Miss. Yana won’t be punished too much.”
Ben sneered, “It doesn’t matter. Just do it and sue her.”
In fact, it was impossible to punish Yana too harshly according to the law.
However, once the matter spread, the reputation that she cared about most would be ruined. It was the biggest punishment for her.
The assistant nodded at Ben’s order and immediately made some arrangements.
With regard to what happened at Aroma Restaurant, Yana was keen to explain it clearly to Timothy
Leen.
But her effort was only rewarded with his indifference.
Yana had no choice but to revolve Iferself more around Timothy.
Fortunately, despite his coldness and attitude, Timothy had never mentioned breaking the engagement.
That relieved Yana a bit.
Carl Miller and Jane felt that there seemed to be something wrong between Timothy and Yana. They inquired Yana, but she dared not to tell the truth. She just dodged the question with minor contradictions between them as the explanation.
Carl and Jane thought that there were just some quarrels between the couple, so they didn’t ask
anymore.
They flung themselves into the preparation for her engagement party.
A few days later, the Butler suddenly sent in a subpoena.
“From the court? Really?” Carl was puzzled.
“Probably,” Jane wore a scowl on her face, “Such a thing shouldn’t be sent wrong. I have to complain. about the deliveryman.”
At this time, Yana, while going downstairs, saw her parents holding an unknown document in their hands.
“Dad, Mom, what are you looking at?” Yana blurted.
“A subpoena from the court.” Carl replied. In the meantime, he opened it…

Suddenly, a premonition aroused in Yana’s heart.
“Wait!” she rushed over and tried to take the envelope away.
But Carl had opened it and read it quickly.

Carl asked suspiciously, “Yana? How come your name is on it?”

The ominous feeling came true. She grabbed the subpoena and skimmed it quickly. Then, she couldn’t help but quiver.
Wasn’t that thing in the past?
Ben sued her!
For such a trivial matter!
“What the hell is going on?” Carl’s expression became stern.
“Dad, you have to help me, please.” Yana sketched the whole story but omitted the essential part, and then she continued to sob, “I… I just talked with Ben, reminding him that we are relatives and he is my brother–in–law. He ruined my reputation on the spot, and now he still wants to sue me! Dad! If I really go to the court, my life will be devastated.”
“Stop crying! You have no right to cry,” Carl was annoyed, “Such a serious thing, why didn’t you tell me? Now that the subpoena arrived, what can I do?”
“Dad, you must have a way,” Yana continued to bawl, “I can’t go to court. Timothy is already angry with me. What if he dumps me for my notoriety?”
“Now you are afraid? Why did you provoke Ben, the psycho?” Carl snapped sharply.
Jane’s eyes flashed, and she softly comforted, “Carl, relax. Don’t put all the blame on Yana. There is numerous gossip about Ben, some of which causes more serious consequences. Why doesn’t Ben sue those people but Yana?”
“What do you mean?” Carl frowned.

Jane lowered her voice, “I think it is Susan’s abetment. She has no conscience. We arranged her a good marriage, but she blamed us instead. Such a dull bitch, after marrying Ben, not only controls Ben, but also takes advantage of the opportunity to revenge on us.”
“Revenge on us? How dare she!” Carl was furious.
“There’s nothing she wouldn’t dare to do. Behind her stands Ben now,” said Jane.
“Right. Dad, Susan is not as docile as she used to be. She has targeted me several times since she became Mrs. Landor. Do you remember that I went to the hospital because of her?” Yana went on hurriedly.
Carl remembered what happened last time and then his face darkened.
If he had known Susan’s true colors, he shouldn’t have accepted the marriage. Now he had made ant

“Dad, what should we do now?” Yana asked cautiously.
Carl sneered, “Susan thought her marriage with Ben would make her invincible? Just wait and see. She’s my daughter after all.”
Carl narrowed his gloomy eyes.
Humph, if he had known that Susan was an ungrateful soul, in that year he shouldn’t have….
Well, it is not too late now.
He could make Susan successful and defeated overnight!
It was a sunny day.
Ben had developed the habit of feeding Susan.
Mr. Landor wore a smile when he looked at Susan’s bowl stacked with food.
Penelope only considered the picture as a real eyesore.
After receiving the warning of Mr. Landor, she restrained for a while, but at this time, she couldn’t bear it.
She said to herself, “Susan, Ben might spoil you, but you shouldn’t go too far. There’s no need to bother Ben to put the food on your plate.”
