Chapter 1191
Benjamin ignored Renee's greeting, a prime example of male chauvinism.
Renee was told to sit at a neighboring table with a group of strangers. She did not even get to speak to Benjamin.
On the other hand, Liam was treated very well, and was asked to sit at Benjamin's left.
While eating, Benjamin and Liam had a very happy chat.
It was clear that he liked Liam very much, and wished he had a son like him. Liam behaved obediently the whole
time, making Benjamin very happy.
When it was almost time for the feast to end, he glanced at Renee, and pretended to ask Benjamin casually, "By
the way, Master, where is Joanne? Why didn't I see her?"
Both Joanne and Liam escaped from the red-light district together. They had become Benjamin's disciples at the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsame time, but Joanne chose to stay while Liam wanted to leave.
Back then, Benjamin valued Joanne just as much as he valued Liam. She should have been promoted to a very high
position, but Liam hadn't seen her around, which was strange.
To Liam's surprise, Benjamin smacked his fork down onto the table and went silent.
Benjamin's eldest foster son, Danny Evans, immediately smiled and said reassuringly, "Liam, let's not bring up
unpleasant things at a time like this. Why did you ask about that jinx?"
"Danny, what do you mean? Joanne is our junior. What did she do to anger all of you like this?”
Noah Gomez, Benjamin's third foster son, snorted and stated disdainfully," She was the lead role in the red-light
district previously, so of course, she isn't a nice woman. I knew that she had some ulterior motives as soon as I met
her. As expected, she was soon exposed, and actually dared to betray Master. As a result, the police confiscated a
batch of Master’s goods, and we suffered a terrible loss. Don't you think she's a jinx?”
"Umm..." Liam knitted his brows slightly. Suddenly, he did not know how to handle the situation. If Joanne betrayed
the fort, she might be long dead by now given Benjamin's cruelty and ruthlessness.
Renee was sitting far from the main table, so she could vaguely hear them mention Joanne's name. However, she
could not hear the details, so she became quite anxious.
After a brief pause, she poured a glass of wine for herself and walked to Benjamin's table.
"Mr. Jenkins, I'm new here, but I didn't bring you any gift. Let me offer you a toast as an apology." After that, she
leaned her head backward and gulped down the wine in her glass.
However, Benjamin did not even look at Renee as he said aloofly to the others at his table, "You know that none of
the women in this world are nice except my dear Gem. They don't even have the right to eat at the same table as
me, let alone toast me. She thinks too highly of herself."
Renee was speechless. She was so angry that she had to stop herself from breaking the glass in her hand. Although
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe met patronising men before, this was the first time she had met a man like Benjamin who believed that men
dominated everything.
Hence, she could not hold herself back.
"Mr. Jenkins, I disagree. If all women are bad, then I must tell you that no men are nice either. The global crime rate
proves this—men make up
ninety percent of it while women make up merely ten percent of it. What's more, the women committed those
crimes to protect themselves. Your opinion is too biased."
As soon as she made that statement, the silent hall became quieter, and the atmosphere became tense.
"How dare you doubt me!" Benjamin's eyes bulged in disbelief and rage. It was the first time Benjamin had met a
person as reckless as Renee. The fact that she was a woman made him even more determined to teach her a
lesson. "Mateo, tell her the consequences of those who doubted me in this fort!"
"Okay, Master."
