Chapter 244
The way Benjamin said it made it sound like he was someone very close to Molly. His attitude gave Sean an indescribable irritation.
Sean slightly pressed his lips. He remained calm as he said, “That won’t be necessary. It’s my pleasure to take care of them since I’ve been eating the meals she cooks every day.”
His remarks were an innuendo that would leave ample room for interpretation. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Without others noticing, Benjamin’s hand by his side clenched into a fist. At that moment, it was as if the world had fallen silent, and gun smoke had filled the air between them. Molly had no idea about the tussle between Sean and Benjamin. She was busy dealing with Abigail.
‘Sean canceled the deal with Noland Group to avoid rumors about the marriage alliance between him and Abigail. By rights, given Abigail’s character, she should resent me. But tonight, when we met again, she acted like nothing had happened. What is she up to?’ Molly did not know Abigail well enough to figure out her motive. As she was still trying to figure out Abigail’s intention, Abigail grabbed Molly’s hands like they were very close friends and said, “Dr. May, which country did you work in before you came back to Norlon?”
“Fomanesia,” Molly replied impassively.
Abigail was delighted to hear that. It was as if she had gotten the answer she wanted.
“What a coincidence! The second son of the Forts family had stayed in Fomanesia before. He has made plenty of outstanding achievements. What I’ve heard was he received numerous awards in medical research and successful clinical cases. Some even called him the prodigal doctor… have you heard of him?” Abigail acted like she was a fan of doctor in the healthcare industry at that moment, introducing Benjamin Forts as an idol she had admired.
Molly slightly curled her lips. “Of course I’ve heard of him. Very few abroad never heard of Benjamin Forts.” Molly rode along with Abigail’s line. She seemed to have figured out what Abigail was trying to do.
As expected, Abigail then pretended like she was being thoughtful of Molly as she said, “This is a rare opportunity to meet someone famous in your field. I bet you also admire a great doctor like Benjamin Forts. Maybe I can try to introduce him to you later.”
Abigail looked at Molly with a sense of superiority. Her intention was to let Molly know the gap between their social status. She wanted to remind Molly that Molly was not Cinderella but somebody as insignificant as a speck of dust who was unworthy of an elite like Sean. She made it so obvious that Molly could not play dumb about it.
“That will be unnecessary,” said Molly, who could not help but laugh.
“Be my guest, Dr. May.” Abigail thought Molly was just pretending to be modest. She made up her mind to introduce Molly to Benjamin so she could make Molly a laughing stock. She wanted everyone to know how cheap Molly was.
Abigail stuck herself to Molly like shit to a shovel with her hypocrisy. In the beginning, Molly
would still give her some perfunctory responses. But Abigail just would not give up, and gradually, Molly became annoyed. At that time, someone from a distance was waving at Molly. Molly took a closer look and realized it was her friend, Benjamin Forts. “I couldn’t find you. I thought you didn’t come,” said Benjamin, who was standing before Molly. There was a gentle smile on his face. He could hardly conceal his joy the moment he saw Molly.
“Of course I would come. We’re friends what.” While Molly and Benjamin were in a merry conversation, Abigail standing beside Molly was dumbstruck. “You two know each other?” Abigail asked tentatively. Her feeling had turned sour when she saw the way they interacted with each other.
