Chapter 340 Vent

Hayley’s POV:

I raised an eyebrow, reflecting on the earlier mention of Ms. Kilmer. It turned out that it was her.

Madeline appeared startled as well, though I couldn’t tell what was running through her mind. Her expression, however, betrayed a smug sense of triumph as she taunted me, “Well, well, look who’s here! Turns out to be my old acquaintance.”

I ignored her and moved to walk past.

But Madeline blocked my path, placing a hand in my way. “Leaving already? Why so hasty? You might not know this, but Ben greets me with far more excitement than he ever shows you.”

Anger bubbled up as I stared at her hand stopping me.

If not for the fact that I couldn’t expose my true identity yet, I would’ve let Hera take over and ripped her arm off right then and there.

Her words only added fuel to the fire of frustration I’d been suppressing, and I felt a desperate need to let it out.

I sneered at her. “You claim he’s eager to see you? Really? Funny, because I’ve heard otherwise. Word has it he’s not exactly friendly toward you.”

As soon as I said so, her face darkened noticeably.

That reaction confirmed my suspicions–I’d misjudged Benjamin before. It was all Madeline’s act. Realizing the truth, I felt an odd sense of relief.

“Hayley, you’re clueless. Ben even took me to a hotel not long ago. And a hotel, well, you know what that means. He couldn’t resist to mate with me,” she said, flipping a stray lock of hair back with exaggerated flair.

Her performance didn’t faze me. Instead, I replied calmly, “You seem pleased with yourself. Are you sure this isn’t some delusion you cooked up to satisfy yourself?”

My words were sharp and deliberately offensive, and the change in Madeline’s expression was immediate.

“You-” she began, but I cut her off.

With a calm smile, I locked eyes with her and asked, “What do you think Benjamin would do if he found out you were ruining his reputation?”

Madeline stiffened, visibly shaken by my question, her hands trembling slightly.
