Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 17

“A mere couple of million and a trinket…” Everyone fell silent after hearing Ben’s words.

Yana felt overwhelmed by Ben’s imposing presence.

She couldn’t understand why Ben had suddenly appeared and was speaking up for Susan.

Could it be that Susan had truly tamed this tyrant? That couldn’t be possible!

Yana’s thoughts were in disarray.

Timothy pulled her behind him and looked directly at Ben. “Yana means no harm; she’s just concerned about Susan.”

“You’re on a first–name basis with my wife now?” Ben sneered. “And you call this ‘no harm? Then what would you call ‘harmful, Timothy? If you find such a woman appealing, maybe you should get your eyes checked!”

“Timothy…” Yana started to cry, aggrieved.

Timothy hugged Yana pitifully and then turned to Ben, saying, “Mr. Landor, as a grown man, is it really appropriate for you to intimidate a defenseless woman like this?”

Ben couldn’t help but laugh at what he found amusing. “When all of you were ganging up on my wife, did you find it inappropriate then, huh?”

Timothy frowned and looked at Susan. “Susan, Ben doesn’t know, but you know exactly that Yana has always been thoughtless in her words.”

Thoughtless?

Susan looked at Timothy calmly, as if she was staring at a complete stranger.

Her expression made Timothy’s heart skip a beat.

Ignoring Timothy, Susan took Ben’s hand and looked at him with rare tenderness. “Thank you.”

What was there to thank for?

Ben felt a bit awkward and intentionally lowered his tone “Well I just don’t want to see you embarrassing me in public.

“Alright, I won’t from now on,” Susan replied, smiling at him.

Ben was at a loss for words.

He knew she would just laugh it off.

Ben became more and more uncomfortable.

“I don’t like it here. Let’s go,” Susan then said.
