Chapter 524

"Ah!" Sydney let out a shriek, immediately crossing her arms over her chest to cover herself.

She shot Sarah a furious glare, her face burning with humiliation. Then, she turned to Benjamin, looking utterly flustered. "I-I need to go to the restroom."

She had barely taken two steps before twisting her ankle, nearly collapsing to the floor.

Benjamin reacted quickly, grabbing her just in time.

"Here, wear this." He shrugged off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

Sydney practically melted into his arms, sneaking a glance at Sarah as if embarrassed. But beneath her expression, there was a glint of something cold and calculating.

"Benji, I'll go fix myself up. You stay here and keep Sarah company, alright?" Her voice was delicate, laced with hidden meaning.

Benjamin's gaze flickered darkly. "Alright, go on then."

The moment the door clicked shut, Sarah calmly took a sip of tea.

Benjamin wasted no time.

He moved closer, his fingers deliberately brushing against her hand. “Sarah, you're a smart woman. You must know what your aunt is trying to do here." Sarah let out a cold laugh. "Oh? And what exactly is she trying to do?"

Benjamin smirked. "She wants us to be together. You can't be that oblivious."

Sarah's lips curled in mock amusement. "I'll make sure to have a chat with my aunt then."

Benjamin's eyes gleamed. "What's there to discuss? Why don't we get to know each other first?" He leaned in closer, reaching for her arm.
