Chapter 85
Reaching out, Jessica grabbed Anna and lambasted loudly, “Come out, d*mn it! You have the guts to seduce a man,
yet you don’t have the guts to admit it? You’re hiding behind a man like a coward!”
Anna surreptitiously tugged at Ben as she murmured pitifully, “You’ve misunderstood. We were really discussing
business.”
Livid, Jessica clutched at her and demanded, “Fine, then! Tell me, what did you two discuss that took an entire
night?”
“No, I’d just arrived. Mr. Roberts said he was in the room, so I went there to meet him, but you then arrived,” Anna
quibbled.
Raising her hand, Jessica slapped her across the face again. “So, it’s a requirement to strip when you two discuss
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbusiness? If you continue quibbling, I’ll tear your tongue off!”
Anna hid behind Ben, covering her face with both hands. At this time, Ben, who’d been keeping silent, grabbed
Jessica’s wrist. “Jessica Smith, you should stop while you’re ahead. Must you make such a fuss and make this
common knowledge?”
Jessica shook off his hold with much effort, her eyes blazing red with fury. “What do I have to fear? Since you two
cheaters aren’t at all afraid, why would I be afraid? I want to let everyone know that you’re a scumbag, and she’s a
home-wrecker!” As she said that, she took out her cell phone to snap their pictures.
“Ben!” Anna exclaimed before hiding behind the man’s back in terror.
Similarly panicked, Ben snatched the cell phone in Jessica’s hand and smashed it to the ground, glaring at her
furiously. “That’s enough!”
Staring at her cell phone that had been smashed to smithereens, Jessica asked with forced calmness, “Ben Roberts,
you are determined to protect her, yes?” Ben remained expressionless, but he shielded Anna behind him. This
unconscious action instantly infuriated Jessica, and she sneered, “If you hand this woman over to me today, I’ll let
this matter slide. Otherwise, I’ll call off our engagement!”
Inhaling deeply, Ben suppressed the fury within him and stretched out his hands to embrace her. “Alright, stop
making trouble for no reason. I’ve said that there’s nothing between us. I’ll explain further to you at home.”
Jessica slapped his hand away, her face crumpled in disappointment. “If there’s nothing between the two of you,
why are you shielding her to such an extent? You think I’m a fool, yes?” After saying that, she reached out to grab
Anna. “Come over here. D*mn you!”
Terror-stricken, Anna hurriedly dodged. Losing his cool, Ben extended his hands and shoved her away. “Stop
messing around!” It was a rather forceful shove, so Jessica stumbled back several steps before falling onto the
ground.

The onlookers all exclaimed in surprise, having not expected them to get physical. At this moment, they moved
from merely looking on to urging softly, “No matter what, you shouldn’t be getting physical.”
“That’s right. You should just explain properly instead.”
“You should give her some leeway since you’re a man!”
As her eyes rapidly stung, Jessica scrambled up from the ground and rushed at Ben as though she’d lost her mind,
her fists swinging. “Ben Roberts, you b*stard!”
Caught off guard, Ben took several blows. All at once, he then grew enraged and swung his hand across her face.
“Are you not finished with your tantrum yet? Isn’t this common to men? I’ve already explained things to you, so
when are you going to cease this nonsense? And you call yourself a socialite? You’re no different from a shrew on
the street! You want to call off the engagement, yes? Go ahead!” After he’d said that, he wanted to leave while
pulling Anna along, but unexpectedly, he was kicked back into the crowd just after having taken two steps.
At the same time, a woman’s voice rang out. “It’s even an insult to scumbags to label you as a scumbag. Are you
even human? You want to make yourself scarce after hitting someone, huh?”
