Chapter 27 Look What You''ve Done


    As soon as the news went viral, udia was invited to the Crawford''s old mansion by her mother-in-


    Although udia didn''t know exactly why her mother-inw wanted to see her, she had a slight


    suspicion that the reason was rted to the partyst night.


    When udia arrived at Crawford''s old mansion, Winifred was receiving guests upstairs, so the old


    housekeeper asked udia to wait for a while.


    While udia was sitting on the sofa waiting for Winifred, the housekeeper identally knocked over a


    teacup and cut his hand. Kindly, udia hurried upstairs to find a medical kit.


    If she had known in advance that she would hear the most unwanted conversation of her life, then


    udia would never havee upstairs to get the medical kit.


    As she passed the door of the study, a conversation came from inside the room-


    “Hanna, while Conrad is still young, you should spend more time with him. You and Ben are meant to


    be. I''ll have Ben divorced that woman as soon as Conrad epts you.”


    Winifred''s voice sounded excited, as if she was eagerly awaiting that day toe.


    Hanna said, “Mrs. Crawford, that''s not going to work. udia is Conrad''s birth mum. I don''t want to


    “So what if I say she''s the true mum supposed to be? Do you know how she got pregnant?”


    “What?”


    “That was because Ben was drunk. He thought she was you. Otherwise, how could Ben have married


    her? It''s not like you don''t know how Ben feels about you...”


    Hanna''s voice was slightly helpless, “I know that Ben loves me, and I love him too, but...”


    “That''s right. We''ll get rid of udia as soon as Conrad gets closer to you. The Crawford family won''t


    keep that mute! It''s a disgrace!”


    Outside the room, udia''s hands on the stair rail were sweaty. She seemed to have overheard a


    conversation she shouldn''t have.


    It turned out that Ben had actually... mistaken her for Hanna when he had sex with her in the first ce!


    She slowly turned around and she was afraid of what she might hear again, so she''d rather y dumb


    and pretend that everything was okay. And she certainly didn''t want to set things straight.


    When Winifred came downstairs, it was almost an hourter. And udia didn''t know what Winifred


    had said to Hanna in the study during that time. And she didn''t want to think about it, so she distracted


    herself as much as she could and tried not to think about it.


    When she saw her mother-inwing down the stairs, udia hurriedly got up and nodded politely


    to her.


    After all, she couldn''t speak, so she couldn''t greet Winifred with words. And Winifred hated her using


    signnguage. And she wouldn''t allow udia to write down her words. Therefore, udia could only


    smile and nod at Winifred to show her manners.


    Winifred sat down arrogantly, looking like a hostess. She looked at udia with a stern gaze and


    pushed a stack of newspapers and magazines on the coffee table in front of udia.


    “Ben booked the entire Zeus Hotelst night to celebrate your birthday in a high-profile way!”


    Although Winifred''s tone didn''t sound like using udia, her words sounded a bit sarcastic to


    udia.


    udia lowered her eyes as soon as possible and felt bitter inside. He had obviously held that birthday


    party to build a good reputation, so how could he have thrown it to celebrate her birthday?


    “You seem to be getting along with Ben a lot better these days,” added Winifred. It obviously sounded


    like she was mocking udia.


    udia felt at a loss for words. How could their rtionship have improved?


    It was all just a show that he put on!


    “It''s good that you two have a good rtionship, but you don’t want to influence his career, right?


    udia, you''re a sensible woman. Don''t ever let Ben do this for you again!”


    udia was embarrassed and felt very aggrieved!


    Winifred knew why Ben had made such a big deal about her birthday partyst night, but she said


    these things to udia, sounding like she was intentionally being sarcastic.


    But what could she do? Even if she felt more pain inside, she could only swallow the pain.


    When udia left Crawford''s old mansion, Winifred''sst words kept echoing in udia''s ears.


    Winifred said to udia, “Don''t think you''re superior after you have given birth to my grandchild. And


    don''t try to win Ben over with Conrad. That''s not gonna happen!”


    udia wondered when she was trying to use the baby to capture Ben''s heart.


    That was pure nonsense!


    However, she felt there was no need to argue with Winifred, so she held back her anger and remained


    silent.


    Ben didn''t return home for the next two days, as if udia was back in the old days when she looked


    after Conrad at home and spent time with him every day. She couldn''t help but wonder how time had


    flown by.


    On the third morning, when she had juste downstairs to prepare breakfast, she picked up her


    apron and had not yet put it on when the front door was mmed deafeningly.


    The loud sound made udia tremble with fear. After a while, she looked at the door. Then she found


    that Ben, who hadn''t returned home for three days, appeared on the doorstep.


    His handsome face looked gloomy. His ruthless eyes stared at her for a moment. Without making any


    movements, his cold, thin lips were pursed into a straight line. There was a faint me secretly surging


    in his dark eyes.


    He was surrounded by an aura of intense hostility that made him look powerful and frightening.


    Ben usually made people think he looked gloomy and depressed. However, he looked even eerier and


    more frightening at this time, somehow making others feel scared and afraid to breathe!


    udia did note back to her senses for a while. She froze stiffly in ce as she stared dully at


    him.


    Their nanny in the kitchen heard the movements and thought something was going on, so she walked


    as she said, “Mrs. Crawford, is everything alright...”


    As soon as she reached the kitchen door, she caught a glimpse of Ben at the door and stopped in her


    tracks, stammered, and said, “Mr. Crawford, wee home!”


    “Mind your own business!”


    Ben replied to her in a cold, low voice. Then he looked straight at udia and stepped forward.


    He walked directly toward udia. And he walked slowly. The muffled sound of his luxurious


    handmade shoes on the floor was creepy and daunting.


    Those were the only words udia could find to describe the sound of his footsteps. And she couldn''t


    help but back away and slowly tried to run away.


    However, Ben''s long legs took a big step. He took a few steps and was in front of her. He stood still and


    looked at her with a fierce look in his eyes.


    udia naturally looked down and did not want to meet his eyes.


    Ben stared at the top of her head for a moment. Then he reached out without struggle, cupped her


    cheek, and pulled her closer to him with a strong grip. His gaze looked ferocious. “It seems that I have

    underestimated you!”


    She was stunned and wondered what he meant.


    “I can''t imagine that all you can think about is scheming when you can’t even speak!” Ben stared at her.


    His vicious gaze was like aser piercing her through.


    udia''s eyes showed a look of surprise. She raised her hand and tried to get rid of him, but he held


    her hand again. Unable to escape, she felt even more puzzled. She frowned with a look of confusion in


    her eyes.


    Ben understood the meaning of her eyes. Then he sneered, suddenly decreased his force, and


    mmed her hard to the floor.


    As udia steadied herself, Ben grabbed a stack of morning papers from the coffee table and


    mmed them into her face.


    “Look what you''ve done!”


    udia leaned down in confusion as the papers scattered to the ground. The moment she picked one


    up and saw the headline on the front page, her mind went nk, and she was stunned the next


    second!
