Chapter 419 Did I Hit a Sore Spot?
Evelyn tried to calm their emotions. “Mom, Dad, don’t listen to her nonsense. Let me make a phone call
to Huston and ask. him to explain everything to you.”
Mia didn’t panic at all, nor did she stop her. She just watched as Evelyn dialed Huston’s number.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently busy. Please try again later….”
A mechanical and cold female voice came from the other end
of the line. Evelyn was furious. After hanging up, she dialed
again and got the same answer.
Mia arrogantly stood in front of the three of them and said,
“So, did he answer the call?”
Evelyn took a deep breath and ignored her provocation. She turned to Ben and said, “Mom, Dad, he
may be busy.”
Hearing this, Mia became more excited, and her eyes were full of sarcasm. “If he values you, how
could he not answer your
call now?”
Hearing this, Evelyn was upset. She could handle the insults.

satisfaction with your words? You can only exist as a younger sister in normal times, but now you’re
telling such a lie. Do you think Huston will spare you when he finds out?”
“My parents are lifelong benefactors to Huston. Do you think he would harm me in any way? Evelyn, if I
were you, I would
have the sense to back off instead of bringing your own parents here to disgrace themselves. What
qualifications do you have to say these things to me? You are a third party to
Huston and me!”
“Shut up!”
“Oh, did I hit a sore spot?” Mia glanced at Ben’s flushed face
from the corner of her eye and spoke nonchalantly, “You’ve
been divorced, and there are so many unfavorable rumors
about you. Do you think the Lloyd family would easily accept you? Huston and I have been childhood
sweethearts, and being together is natural. I thought I could endure and let it pass, but I didn’t expect
you to be so eager even to bring your
parents along.”
“You!”
“Enough!” At this moment, Ben suddenly snorted and
interrupted their conversation. He was very agitated and tried his best to suppress his emotions. “Miss,
although I don’t know
who you are and your purpose, my daughter is definitely not a mistress who will ruin someone else’s
relationship. I will never
believe that!”
“Okay.” Mia crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked
at Ben calmly. “Sir, can you explain why the three of us live together? Who would let their beloved
share a room with
another woman?”
Ben couldn’t refute her question. Indeed, it was inappropriate
for a man and two women to be in the same house, especially
for him, who had a traditional mindset.
The planned meeting had turned into such a mess. Ben lost all his patience. “I’m not seeing him
anymore. Let’s go home!”

“We didn’t do anything wrong. Why should we leave? You
can ask Huston when he returns later, and you’ll understand
everything!”
Mia was really afraid that this old man would agree. After all,
what she said was false and was used to scare them. Once
Huston explained the situation, everything would be exposed.
However, the next second, Ben’s answer made her relieved.
“Don’t you think it’s embarrassing enough? You asked me and
your mother to come, but we were blocked outside the house.
No matter the relationship between the three of you, it’s too outrageous!” Ben was a typical
conservative person. In
his heart, just knowing that Evelyn was living together with another woman here was already difficult for
him to accept.
Given Mia’s attitude at this moment, it was unlikely that there
were no issues among them.
