Chapter 85 Ben Roberts, You B*stard!
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 business? If you continue quibbling, I’ll tear your tongue off!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnna 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

“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?”
