NovelEnglishChater 30 Chapter 30 Even Harsher Words Yet to Come
Benson clenched his fists, his face tight with restraint.
“Did | say anything wrong?” Theo's lips curved slightly, though his eyes remained cold. “Janet, | haven't even
said the harshest part yet." "You..." Janet's body trembled with rage, her face twisted with embarrassment and
anger. “Theo, you've gone too far!"
“Enough!” Edward's furious shout silenced the room, his icy gaze on Janet's face.
Though still seething inside, Jdared not speak another word under Edward's piercing authority. However, she
shot a venomous glare at Theo.
Theo was unfazed and remained lounging on the sofa, his long legs stretched out casually. He held a steaming
cup of tea in one hand, his posture lazy yet intimidating.
Seeing his indifferent demeanor only fueled Janet's anger further.
Edward glanced at Theo before turning his stern gaze to Benson. He said coldly, "Theo's words may have been
harsh, but they're not without reason." "Dad-" Janet's face paled as she tried to argue, but Edward cut her off
sharply.
“Benson is an adult, not a child. He should have self-discipline and know better than to act recklessly. Does he

Jlowered her head, rolling her eyes discreetly. Her hands clasped together in frustration, betraying her
resentment inside.
That stubborn old man-at the end of the day, he was just siding with Theo, as he always did.
And as for Sierra... Sure, she was attractive, but there were plenty of women with better backgrounds than hers.
Yet, Edward had chosen her for his grandson.
In Janet's eyes, Sierra was nothing but a burden to Benson. But she didn't dare voice these thoughts in front of
Edward, fearing his wrath. Edward's gaze swept over Janet, and he immediately saw through her thoughts. A
flicker of disappointment crossed his eyes.
Though ambitious, Janet's inability to see the bigger picture kept her from meaningful success.
“Janet, if you're so opposed to this engagement, perhaps it's tto call it off," Theo said suddenly, setting down
his teacup. His tone was casual, his expression devoid of any emotion.
Janet's eyes lit up instantly, and she raised her head. For once, Theo's words aligned with her wishes. But before
she could speak, Benson cut her off. “No. | won't call off the engagement.” Benson stood up, wincing from the
pain in his back, and spoke firmly.
Janet's barely controlled anger flared up again as she discreetly tugged at his sleeve. However, Benson ignored
her, turning instead to Edward.
"Uncle Theo was right to reprimand me. This time, getting drunk was my mistake, and it had nothing to do with
Cee. Don't worry, Grandpa-I'll treat her well and make sure she's never wronged."
As soon as he finished speaking, Benson thought he heard a faint, cold chuckle from Theo.
However, when he looked over, Theo's expression remained as cold and indifferent as ever.
Maybe he had imagined it.
Even so, a lingering doubt gnawed at
his mind. Theo was usually aloof
