Chapter 94
Lynn burped after finishing the drink.
Obviously, Lynn’s action shocked everyone. A sense of embarrassment flashed on Lynn’s face, and she raised her hand to wipe her lips.
However, Lynn realized that she didn’t feel any strange smell except for the sweetness.
‘Isn’t this sweet?’ Lynn thought.
Lynn said, “I didn’t taste anything strange taste. It was sweet.”
Seeing Lynn’s confused expression, others understood what was going on at the beginning and smiled secretly.
John gave Benson a thumbs up and said, “Benson, you’re brilliant. Lynn was tricked by you.”
‘Tricked?’ Lynn was shocked. ‘It means that Benson was lying to me, and they didn’t taste anything strange in the drinks,’ Lynn thought.
Lynn was a little unsure and asked, “You guys didn’t taste anything weird taste, did you?”
John shook his head. It seemed that Lynn hadn’t realized how cunning Benson was.
Nathan smiled playfully, and couldn’t help pointing it out. “Lynn, you’re so naive. You just had the drink of Benson’s.”
Quentin added with an evil smile, “I also observed that Lynn and Benson were drinking from the same position.”
Lynn was totally confused, her mind was a mess, and then she looked down at the empty glass. No matter how silly she was, she could realize why they were laughing.
Angry and embarrassed, Lynn nearly broke the glass, her face blushing.
Feeling extremely awkward, Lynn turned around and was about to run out, but one hand tightly wrapped her wrist, and she was forced to sit down.
“Sit down and eat with us.”
Lynn turned around and saw Benson’s cold face. Benson was looking at her, and the strength in his hands was so strong that he completely controlled Lynn.
Lynn said angrily, “I’m working, so I can’t have dinner with you. Please let me go. Don’t disturb me at work.”
Lynn struggled to get rid of Benson, but it was in vain.
Coincidentally, the restaurant manager just appeared at the door and walked in with a smile.
Lynn wished she could hide under the table immediately. She had been not quite irresponsible at work, and now she was even sitting with the guests.
She didn’t like the feeling of being special.
“Mr. Warner, I hope you’re having a great time here tonight.”
Benson looked at the manager and grabbed Lynn’s hand. “She’s in charge of here tonight.”
The manager glanced at Lynn, who was a little embarrassed and lowered her head to avoid his sight, and nodded politely.
“Okay, sure. Then excuse me, I have to go to work.”
The manager walked to the door and thoughtfully closed the door softly. Lynn raised her head in a hurry. She didn’t want to stay here for a moment.
“Manager.”
However, the manager slipped so fast. He didn’t want to get him into any trouble.
Lynn moved her body. Although she couldn’t run away, she tried to stay away from Benson.
She raised her head, her eyes hurt because of the bright lights above, and felt a little dazed. ‘What a group of sophisticated people,’ she thought.
She hadn’t ever thought that their point was that she and that stupid man had the same glass of drink.
Benson released Lynn and raised his eyebrows.
He asked unexpectedly, “I must owe you something in my last life, and that’s why I am accused of exploiting my wife by you in this life.”
‘What does this mean?’ Lynn stared at Benson unhappily.
She felt that she must have owed Benson in her previous life, so she married him in this life by accident and was tortured by his family in various ways.
The two stared at each other with their eyes wide open, and the atmosphere became strange.
Feeling the tense vibe, John said, “Lynn, did you volunteer to work here? You have to consider Benson’s reputation. He is one of the richest customers here, and you’re working as the waitress here. Have you considered what the reporters will accuse Benson of if they find it out? The salary of a servant in the Warners is higher than yours.”
Lynn felt a little guilty after hearing what John said.
“I… I’ll hide it well. I won’t be discovered.”
Benson gave Lynn a new set of cutlery and said coldly.
“Eat.”
After hearing what John just said, Lynn nodded obediently.
“Okay.”
They began to chat about the company’s business. During their chat, Lynn found that Benson was really cold. He spoke very little, but every time he spoke, everyone became quiet.
It could be seen that Benson was very prestige among these people.
Lynn took a vegetable and chewed it slowly. The private room made her feel uncomfortable, and she didn’t have much appetite.
Especially when she just had Benson’s drink in front of his friends.
‘Quentin even said that Benson and I were drinking in the same place. Why didn’t I notice it?’ Lynn held up her cheeks, and thought unhappily about if Quentin was telling the truth.
Noticing that Lynn was absent-minded, Benson brought her the menu.
“Order what you like.”
‘Care about me?’ Lynn blushed a bit. She glanced at the dishes on the table and didn’t open the menu. The food was enough.
Nathan’s phone vibrated, and he received a picture and clicked it.
“Just received the news that Lucy cut her wrists and committed suicide, and is now in the hospital for rescue.”
Lynn paused having the food and thought that Jack hurriedly left the Warner Family’s manor this afternoon. ‘Maybe it has something to do with this,’ Lynn thought.
Quentin looked at Benson and John, and asked curiously, “Isn’t her your brother’s fiancee? I heard that she is a gentle and sweet woman. Why did she commit suicide? Aren’t girls afraid of pain?”
Lynn didn’t speak. She knew that women did it mostly because of love, especially for a rich and pretty woman like Lucy.
“Who knows, but I heard that the man kept delaying the marriage. Lucy may have been hurt. Everyone could tell that Lucy is crazy about him, but he doesn’t promise to marry her.” John said with a solemn expression.
Lynn was also wondering what Jack was thinking. Miss Ted was a perfect woman.
Quentin put down the glass and thought for a moment before saying, “Do you think that maybe Jack likes someone else, so he refuses to marry Lucy.”
The marriage of these two families had been settled for many years. Everyone in Los Santos knew about this. These two people were well-matched, but no one expected that there was no news of the marriage, and it seemed that the marriage even might break now.
Quentin’s bold guess was immediately denied by John.
“It’s impossible. A cold-blooded man like him will not like any woman. I think he is deliberately taking revenge on the Warners. The elders in this family all expect him to get married as soon as possible, so he delays the marriage deliberately.”
John shook his head again. “I’ve never seen such a terrible person, who can never get out of the past. Shouldn’t we look to tomorrow?”This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Quentin again disagreed with John.
“I don’t think so. The more ruthless a person is, the more affectionate he might be.”
Lynn was not in the mood to eat, she didn’t speak, and silently repeat the words Quentin said. ‘The more ruthless a person is, the more affectionate he might be?’
Feeling a deep gaze falling on her cheek, Lynn looked up.
She shuddered when she saw Benson looking at her with that cool look.
Benson picked up a piece of cod, leaned to the side, blocking the eyes of others with his broad back, and lowered his voice.
“You seem to be interested in this matter. Do you want to take this opportunity to replace Lucy?”
The masculine breath made Lynn retreat a bit. Benson was suspecting her again.
