Chapter 370
“Susan, don’t look at these for now,” Ben whispered, “I’ll deal with it.”
Ben was nervous, worried that
hat Susan would believe the nonsense on the Internet and seek a divorce.
To him, a child was not as important as Susan.
However, Susan appeared calm as she looked at Ben and smiled gently, “Don’t worry, it can no longer hurt me with this.”
Previously, she was easily hurt because she was forever alone.
But now, she wasn’t that little girl who was unloved anymore.
No matter what kind of storm came her way, Susan now had enough confidence and courage to face it.
Her demeanor was gentle yet powerful.
Ben looked at her, his face gradually brightening.
He gently touched her hair and said hoarsely, “I’m just afraid you’ll leave me.”
Susan blinked playfully. “Do you think I’m stupid? Why would I leave such a good husband?”
Ben chuckled softly, stopping to frown.
Although Susan’s mood seemed stable, the situation had to be dealt with immediately!
Ben coaxed Susan back to their bedroom to rest. Then his eyes gradually turned cold.
He really wanted to know who was causing trouble behind their backs.
As soon as Ben came out of the room, a servant approached him and said that his grandfather was calling for him.
Ben then went over to the room.
Inside, Charlie had a furrowed brow and wore an unhappy expression.
Penelope was sitting on one side, softly sobbing.
Ben’s eyebrows twitched as he probably guessed what was wrong. Charlie and Penelope had probably also seen the
trending topic.
As expected, when Ben walked in, Penelope wiped away her tears and said softly, “Ben, I’m sorry, I… I never thought Leo would do something like this.”
As Penelope spoke, she started to cry again.
Although Leo had hurt her heart, he was still her biological son, and Penelope had some care for him.

Previously, although Ben had sent Leo away from Coraland, Penelope knew that the Smith family was a major family in Rlowert and that Leo’s life wouldn’t be much worse while staying with Isabella.
Based on what Leo had done, Ben had only sent him back to Rlowert, which was already merciful.
As long as Leo was willing to quiet down, his life wouldn’t be too difficult.
However, Penelope couldn’t understand why Leo still had to act recklessly, knowing that Susan was Ben’s bottom line.
She thought, ‘Does he think that Ben isn’t angry enough?”
Penelope sobbed softly, and Charlie glared at her and scolded, “You tell me! How did Leo find out about this? Did you tell him?”
As Penelope cried, she said, “Dad, it really wasn’t me! It’s been a long time since we last had contact.”
Charlie snorted and said, “Who knows if you secretly contacted him!!”
“I really didn’t,” Penelope said as she cried, “I gain nothing from doing this.”
“Who knows if you knew that Susan had a hard time getting pregnant and if you had your eye on the Landor family’s estate again? Do you think your son has a chance to inherit the Landor family? I’m telling you, it’s impossible,” Charlie angrily stated.
Penelope wiped away her tears and said, “Dad, I’m not stupid. I know you don’t care about heirs. Since I’m clear about this, why would I dream of doing something like this.”
Charlie looked skeptical and asked, “It’s really not you?”
Penelope vigorously shook her head.
idn’t tell L
Charlie looked at Ben, coughed, and said, “Ben, in my opinion, Penelope didn’t tell Leo.”
Ben couldn’t help raising his eyebrows.
Charlie was actually questioning Penelope while helping her clear her name.
Ben didn’t doubt Penelope to begin with.
It was simply because Penelope didn’t have the ability to do this.
Even if she knew the news that Susan had difficulty getting pregnant, she didn’t have the ability to bring Leo back from abroad and even less ability to cause chaos on the internet.
However, since Charlie had gone through the trouble of acting, Ben also nodded seriously, “Grandpa, you make sense. I also think it’s not Penelope’s doing.”
Penelope breathed a sigh of relief.
Ben raised his eyebrows and turned to Charlie.
T–I
“Grandpa, while we’re on the topic, there’s something I want to ask you.”
lify the fisting Incident?
“What’s the matter? Just say it. Charlie asked, “Do you want me to I’m ready to speak up at any
time.”
Ben shook his head, “That doesn’t matter. Grandpa, I want to ask, how did you know that Susan has difficulty getting pregnant?”
Charlie narrowed his eyes and said, “I also feel that this matter is a bit strange. At that time, someone directly left a file at the door, saying it was my health check report. The butler brought it in, but it turned out to be Susan’s health check report.”
Ben’s gaze grew colder.
He thought, ‘Interesting. This person not only knew such private information but also used it as an excuse to deliver the file, indicating that he knew Grandpa had just gone to the hospital for a physical examination.
‘The number of people who know about Grandpa’s physical examination is no more than a handful, ruling out the possibility of an enemy plotting behind my back.
‘My enemies can not have access to this information.
‘The only person who could know about this and complete this task is someone who is very close to us.
Ben began to narrow down the range of possibilities in his mind.
But he didn’t say anything in front of Charlie and turned and left first.
He investigated the Leo’s entry and found out that Leo secretly entered Coraland through Tonico as a transit station.
There should be someone of great influence in Tonico who helped Leo.
Otherwise, Ben should have received the news when the plane took off.
By now, the person behind the scenes was about to be revealed.
The person held a lot of power in Tonico.
Moreover, it was someone close to them.
Ben’s brows furrowed deeply.
He thought, ‘Could it be the person? If it really is her, what is her purpose in doing this? What does she gain from it? Penny. It’s best if this matter has nothing to do with you.”
Ben’s gaze became fierce.
Ben wasn’t worried about anything else.
Oustall
He just didn’t want Susan to suffer if she found out that Penny was the one orchestrating everything.
Ben didn’t want Susan to be hurt.
That was why he hadn’t revealed Penny’s major suspicion to the public for now.
He planned to deal with Leo and Isabella first.
These two people were mere pawns.
They were foolish but also despicable.
Their level of self–destruction didn’t even require much effort from Ben.
On the Internet.
Online, Charlie personally released a clarification video.
In the video, he appeared energetic and far from someone who had been suffering from illness.
Moreover, he made a significant decision.
In order to prove that he had no dissatisfaction with Susan, on the contrary, valued her greatly, he directly sought a lawyer to transfer half of his assets under Susan’s name.
If initially, people were skeptical when they listened to Charlie’s clarification, the subsequent move of transferring assets through a lawyer left everyone in awe. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Since Charlie had given away his fortune, who would believe that he was dissatisfied with Susan and wanted to force Ben to divorce her?
