Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 209

Monica furrowed her brows, “What are you talking about? If it were Ben, then of course I would…”

Mr. Lynn sensed something was off and pulled Monica aside, signaling her to stop talking.

“Dad, what are you doing? I haven’t finished speaking,” Monica protested.

Mr. Lynn clenched his teeth and asked directly, “The person Yana stabbed… was it Ben?”

“How could that be!” Monica exclaimed in a high–pitched voice.

Carl and Jane also paused, simultaneously turning to look at Ben and Susan, a flicker of unease crossing their faces.

This… couldn’t be possible, could it?

If Yana had injured Ben, then their insistence on Susan helping Yana in front of Charlie and Ben…

Wouldn’t that seem… ridiculous?

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Ben casually nodded, “Indeed, the person Yana stabbed was me. It was I who instructed Susan to call the police. If you think what I did was wrong, feel free to speak up.”

Monica’s face froze.

After a moment, she stood up abruptly, glaring at Carl and Jane, “Your daughter dared to stab Ben! Forget about serving three years. Even if she were sentenced to death, she would deserve it!”

Susan reminded her coolly, “Ms. Lynn, you just said family is the most important. That person who didn’t matter, even if they were killed, I should help Yana.”

“That was before I knew, now that I’m aware, of course…” Monica tried to backpedal with conviction.

Mr. Lynn, embarrassed, pulled her up, “Mr. Landor, today we didn’t understand the situation fully and ended up causing confusion. The ensuing matters are your family’s business, and we won’t interfere.”

He began to pull Monica away.

But Monica was reluctant to leave, “Dad, why are you pulling me away? I still have things to say. Ben, I truly didn’t know she stabbed you, if I had known, I definitely would have…”

Mr. Lynn quickened his pace, dragging her away.

Monica’s voice soon faded completely.

Only then did Old Mr. Landor fully understand the sequence of events..

He looked at Ben with a hint of concern, “Your wound?”

“It’s already healed,” Ben quickly assured him.

Old Mr. Landor nodded, recalling how Susan had been ushering Ben back to their room early these past days.

He had thought it was just the affection of a young couple, and it had warmed his heart.

But now, he realized Susan had been worried about Ben’s injury all along!

Realizing that Ben had faced such a dangerous situation, anger surged within Old Mr. Landor.

He turned to Carl and Jane with a frosty glare, “Now, what do you two have to say for yourselves?”

How could Yana hurt Ben….

Why did Yana on earth stab Ben?

Carl was starting to cower.

Jane pulled at him, her eyes full of unease, “Carl?”

No matter how grievous Yana’s mistake was, she was still their only daughter.

Carl wavered, then finally, thick–faced, he ventured, “Mr. Landor, look, you’re alright now, and Yana, she’s just young and naive. Maybe we could…”

“You don’t need to plead with Ben,” Susan cut him off sharply. “It’s me who insists on Yana being punished.“”
