Chapter 331 The Wire-Puller Silas said, “I understand the situation you both are in so it’s fine. I’ll explain to Doctor Brooklyn soon.”
With disappointment, Eric said, “Aleena has always been an obedient girl and I don’t know why she did
this. It truly shocked me!” Speaking of that, he looked at Kelly. “Since Ben is willing to marry Aleena
and he’s also a sensible man, why don’t we go along with his suggestion? Otherwise, the newspaper
tomorrow might publish nonsense!”
Silas raised his eyebrows, surprised that things had indeed gone according to Lara’s plan. Therefore,
he started to rhythmically tap his fingers on the table. Those who knew him well would know that that
was his habit when he was pondering. Raising her eyes, Kelly glanced at Eric. “How can Aleena marry
him?” Eric knitted his eyebrows while asking in a frustrated tone, “Do you have any other solutions?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKelly raised her voice and said, “Even so, she can’t marry Ben. He’s such a womanizer!” “Who isn’t a
womanizer these days?” Eric asked in annoyance. Knowing that they were about to start quarreling,
Silas quickly interjected, “Have you ever thought that if it wasn’t for the wire-puller, things wouldn’t have
ended up this way although Aleena is in the wrong? I think we should focus on this person, who played
the video in public, and what his or her objectives are. Is he trying to use public opinion to force you
into compromising?” Enlightened by Silas, Eric instantly came to a realization. “Are you saying that the
person behind this is Ben?” Silas comforted him, “Uncle Eric, let’s not jump to conclusions. I’m just
judging the case as it stands and I haven’t found any substantive evidence. But evidently, the party
benefiting from this current incident is the Roberts Family. Putting everything else aside, Ben is
obviously eager to marry Aleena judging from how he apologized and confessed his feelings toward
Aleena earlier. To be honest, would you choose the Roberts Family if this incident never happened?
Obviously, you wouldn’t. Not only is Ben a famous womanizer, but his family background is also not a
match with the Jones Family. But now, you’ll think that bringing them together is the best solution
because it can shut the public up. Ben is just discarding all your other choices!” Infuriated, Eric
smacked the table. “How is that my only choice? I’d rather keep Aleena at home than marrying her to
that evil, cunning b*stard!” Silas added, “This is just my suspicion. Uncle Eric, Aunt Kelly, you should
think of it on
your own. Don’t be influenced by my words and lose a commendable son-in-law. I don’t mean to
separate a couple either. As long as Aleena is happy, I’ll be glad too.” Kelly said, “Silas, you don’t have
to be so discreet. We definitely trust you. If this incident never happened, I wouldn’t allow Ben to have
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAleena either. Isn’t he the one who gained huge attention on the internet when he flirted and hugged a
married woman previously? We will never allow such a disgusting man to join our family!” With a
gloomy face, Eric said, “I bet that Lara is involved in this incident too.” Without replying to Eric, Silas
showed him a smile. Then, he said, “How about this? Both of you should discuss the solution and I’ll
talk to the media so that they won’t report this incident. That’s all I can do to help.”
In the living room downstairs, Ben whispered to Lara when no one was around, “Aunt Lara, will it
work?” Lara replied, “If that video wasn’t played in public, perhaps there would be another outcome.
However, now that everyone knows what has happened, no one will want Aleena anymore unless she
doesn’t mind staying single forever.” Ben smirked. “Thank you for coming up with such a brilliant plan,
Aunt Lara.” Unexpectedly, Lara fiercely glared at him. “If this plan works out, you must make Miss
Jones happy. Look at those women whom you flirted with in the past. They’re all mere peasants! This
time, you must bear with it until you marry her regardless of anything. If you fail me again, I’ll kill you!”
