Chapter 18

Outside the auction house, Susan looked up at Ben and smiled with pursed lips.

“What’s wrong?” Ben raised his eyebrows.

Susan kept smiling. “I thought you weren’t going to talk to me anymore.

Susan sensed Ben’s resistance to her in the morning.

Ben felt even more uneasy, but his face was still cold. “Don’t misunderstand. It was that driver who called Grandpa and said you were being bullied. Grandpa called me and asked me to come over! That’s why I was forced to put aside my work and come here.”

While speaking. Ben became resentful about Susan being such a coward in front of others. “What’s

with you? You’re Mrs. Landor. How could you let that kind of person bully you?”

Wrong

“The driver?” Susan was stunned for a moment.

The driver who popped out from nowhere smiled awkwardly, “Mrs. Landor, Mr. Landor asked me to follow you all the way, but I didn’t want to disturb you, so I secretly followed behind to protect you.”

“If this kind of thing happens again in the future, don’t call me. Just tell the people in the auction house and throw the troublemaker out, understand?” Ben glanced at the driver.

“Got it,” the driver responded immediately.

“People of the Landor family are not cowards like you.” Ben glanced at him in disgust. “How could Grandpa assign you such a task…”

As Ben was teaching the driver a lesson, he saw that Susan was still laughing.

Ben was speechless. “What are you laughing at?”

Susan’s eyes curved as she laughed. She took Ben’s hand and said seriously, “Ben, thank you.”

Her eyes were bright and looked even prettier than the moon at night.

Ben winced indifferently. “There’s no need to say thank you. If people know that you, Mrs. Landor, can’t even afford a few pieces of jewelry, they must think I am very stingy! So, I’m here for my reputation, not for you. Next time, if you are still so incompetent, I will never help you again.”

“Okay, I understand.” Susan nodded, with a smile on her face. “But I just want to thank you.”

Ben had no idea what to say.
