Chapter 29 Should I Believe You or Her
The whole bedroom instantly went quiet.
udia felt tired and exhausted from his torture. She curled up in the corner but couldn''t sleep. She
hugged theforter andy there in a daze. After a long time, she got up and went to the bathroom.
udia had to brace herself and grit her teeth against the pain with every step she took. When she got
to the bathroom, though it was only a dozen steps, she felt so much pain that her palms were covered
with a thinyer of sweat.
She turned on the showerhead. The sound of rushing water and the hot steam lingered throughout the
bathroom.
udiay in the tub. Hot water wrapped around her body, making her feel as if the pain and fatigue
had been instantly alleviated.
However, the words that Ben told her when he left suddenly came to her mind.
“You can continue to y tricks and plot against me, but you''d better not let me catch you!”
“Otherwise, next time, I won''t deal with you as simply as what I just did. I have plenty of means and
tricks. If you want to try, try then!”
She felt her chest tighten uncontrobly.
She had no time to think about it, and the crying sound of her baby came in her ear.
udia climbed out of the tub as quickly as possible, wrapped herself in a robe, and ran out from the
bedroom to the nursery. The nanny was holding Conrad. Although Conrad kept crying, as soon as he
saw her, he reached out his little hand and wanted to hold her.
“Conrad can recognize his mother. That''s wonderful!” The nanny said as she handed udia the baby.
udia smiled and held her son in her arms. When she looked at his little fair face, her worries
seemed to dissipate instantly.
The next morning, udia was with her baby upstairs. The nanny came running up, “Mrs. Crawford,
Miss Lewis is here!”
udia froze and left the baby with the nanny. Then she went downstairs by herself.
Hanna was dressed in a light-coloreddy''s suit, looking dashing with thepetence of an elite
woman. She looked at her with gentle eyes, “Mrs. Crawford, I hope ''m not interrupting you, am I?”
udia shook her head and smiled back at her.
“But why do you look so bad?” Hanna asked.
udia was startled. And her eyes showed a slightly flustered look, which made her look more
embarrassed.
But Hanna didn''t want to press the issue and just said, “Did you talk to Ben about your family''s old
mansion?”
As for that matter...
udia never had a chance to talk to Ben about it.
Seeing theplicated look in udia''s eyes, Hanna said, “There is still time. udia, just take your
time to talk to him. No rush!”
udia smiled to thank her.
“By the way, where''s Conrad?” Hanna bought some toys for him.
udia just wanted to point her finger in the direction of the upstairs, but suddenly, the words she
heard in the bathroom at the party shed through her mind. Anyway, she thought that it was better to
be safe than sorry.
udia thought for a while. Then she still politely made a gesture of sleeping to Hanna.
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
“Since he''s sleeping, then we shouldn''t wake him up!” Hanna, with slight regret, left her toys behind
and talked with udia for a while before leaving.
In the second-floor booth of the Enchantment club, music was ying loud.
On the shaded sofa, Ben leaned against it. The dazzling neon lights were shimmering on his
handsome face. The cigarette holder in front of him had four or five cigarette butts piled up.
Others around him were chatting happily, which seemed to have nothing to do with him. His indifferent
handsome face looked grim. Hisrge, bony hand yed with a metal lighter. He opened the lighter
and closed it. A cold, arrogant aura emanated from him
“Mr. Crawford, what''s in your mind?” Sean held his ss of wine and lifted his eyes. He looked at Ben
with some confusion in his eyes.
Ben did not say anything and gazed indifferently at the me in the lighter.
There was a snap, and the me went out.
Sean looked at him and lowered his voice, “You''re still upset about the news from the past two days,
aren''t you?”
Sean gave a slight pause and added, “Do you think the little dummy is the one who spread the news?
You''re too decisive! Do you have any proof?”
Hearing his words, Ben curled his cold lips and sneered.
His inscrutable, deep eyes seemed to be unfathomable.
Sean seemed to read his mind. Then he couldn''t help but pat Ben on the shoulder with his long arm
and said teasingly, “I don''t understand you guys. Let''s drink!”
And Amber also held a ss of wine and sat right next to Ben. Her soft hands wrapped around his arm,
“Ben!”
Her coquettish voice sounded as sweet as candies.
Seeing this, Sean smiled wickedly, got up, and went to sit in the distance.
“Why haven''t you been replying to my messagestely?” Amber tilted her head. Her big, heavily made-
up eyes shed with an expecting glint.
“I''ve been busy.”
Ben subtly pushed her hands away and said those words coldly. Then he got up and was about to
leave.
“Ben, stay! I have something to tell you.”
When Amber saw that Ben was leaving, she got up anxiously and climbed onto his arm with her small
hand, and her tone was a bit anxious, “I happened to meet Mr. Lowe from the radio station today, and I
heard him say that udia had contacted him before...”
Mr. Lowe?
Ben paused in his movements, and his eyes became gloomy.
Amber looked at him, deliberately pursed her mouth, and said, “Maybe I''m just being nosy, too. Ben,
don''t take it to heart!”
She said as she tried to leave. However, Ben grabbed her wrist. Amber turned around, pretending to be
surprised. “Ben?”
“Go on. Tell me.” His low voice sounded like an order, which made others afraid to disobey him.
Amber flinched, blinked innocently, and added, “I know Mr. Lowe because he has interviewed me
several times before. And he said that udia told him a lot of little things about your married life when
she contacted him!”
Recently, the news about him was all over town, which led to a slight fluctuation in the stock price of the
Crawford group. At this point, Amber added fuel to the fire, so she believed udia was bound to be
screwed!
Ben frowned as he looked at Amber with his cold eyes.
“Maybe I''m talking too much. After all, it''s your family affairs.” Amber hastily apologized. Her delicate
little body snuggled close to his side.
Ben''s taut, thin lips stilled for a moment. The coldness that radiated around him was so cold that it
seemed to freeze the air around him into ice.
“Are you saying that udia contacted that journalist?”
He suddenly spoke. And at the same time, he also subtly pushed Amber''s soft little hand away from
him.
Amber blinked her big innocent eyes and pretended to be innocent, “I heard it from Mr. Lowe!”
She immediately cleared herself of me, which was exactly what she would do!
Ben snorted. The cold aura around him became more chilling. When he lifted his starry eyes again, his
evil eyes had a vague chill look in them, “She''s at home every day taking care of her baby and hardly
ever leaves the house. Are you saying that she secretly contacted the press?”
Amber froze, swallowed her saliva, and panicked, “Even if she doesn''t go out... then she can still
contact them! She could call them!”
Ben narrowed his cold eyes. He repeated in a low, mellow voice, “She called them?”
“... Yes! She could call or send a message!” Amber added in panic.
He lowered his head in a daze. His grim, handsome face looked terrifying. He turned sideways and
pressed closer to Amber, “My wife and you. Amber, who do you think I will believe?”
“Well...”
Amber didn''t expect such a reaction from Ben, so she froze in disbelief.
After a few moments, she took his arm with her soft little hand. Then she said in an innocent voice,
“Ben, of course, you have to believe me! And I won''t lie to...”
Before she could finish her sentence, Ben pushed her away in disgust!
Amber was so frightened that her face turned white.
“Don''t start rumors for no reason!”
He warned her in a deep, cold voice. Although he did not care about Amber''s farce, she had to stop.
Then Ben got up impatiently and walked straight away.
