    Chapter 29 Settle The Score


    Annalise was dressed in a long purple gown. Her high heels made her look even taller. Her hair was


    tied into a bun, and two strands of hair hung down naturally by her temples. Her fair skin entuated


    her elegant. demeanor, and she looked absolutely gorgeous. Her beauty caught everyone’s attention


    right away.


    The moment Benjamin saw how pretty she looked, he was extremely regretful.


    Although he only got close to Annalise because of Abigail at first, he knew that she was beautiful when


    they were dating. He also liked her personality very much. Annalise was very reasonable and good-


    tempered. There was almost no need to coax her.


    However, Abigail often told him that her cousin was rustic and that Annalise had already gone back to


    live in the city, but she always liked wearing jeans and T-shirts and driving a car worth 30 thousand


    dors.


    Some people were used to being poor and would not change easily. Even if others gave them


    hundreds of millions of dors, they would not know how to spend it and would still act like before, not


    wearing any makeup and wearing cheap clothes worth a few dors while not feeling ashamed.


    After hearing those words several times, he also felt that Annalise was rustic.


    Once he saw Julian standing beside Annalise again, he furrowed his brows tightly.


    “It seems that the man is really pursuing her,” he pondered.


    His heart was a tempest of emotions. The man beside Annalise exuded an air of superiority, and she


    even gave him a p in the face the previous time.


    Meanwhile, Abigail epted the proposal of a stranger. All he wanted to do was curse out loud.


    After a moment of hesitation, he called Abigail directly.


    However, she hung up the phone.


    He saw her pick up the phone and hang up, then nestled in the man’s arms and smiled apologetically.


    Benjamin was so angry that he dialed her number again.


    This time, she answered the call and asked impatiently, “What’s the matter?”


    “Abigail, what do you mean by this?” he questioned.


    “What are you talking about?” she inquired.


    “We just slept together a few days ago. Why did you suddenly ept someone else’s proposal?”


    Benjamin said angrily.


    “Oh, are you talking about Alexander? You’re here as well? We fell in love at first sight. Yes, we n to


    get married and spend the rest of our lives together. Love is such a beautiful thing. Thank you for your


    blessing!” Abigailpletely ignored Benjamin’s cursing on the other end of the phone and thanked


    him directly before. hanging up the phone.


    “Damn it!” Benjamin was so angry that he cursed again. Subsequently, he held his phone up and


    wanted to smash it but endured it.


    Later, he walked straight into the banquet hall.


    The host had started to warm up the atmosphere.


    The Parks family were all special guests, and their seats were in the first row in the middle.


    Madeline’s seat was in the back.


    In the beginning, when the organizer called to ask if she had time to attend, he nned to have her sit


    in the front row. However, she asked for a seat at the back.


    Even though she usually looked very high-profile, she just wanted to be a high-profile rich woman and


    did not want anyone to know her other identity.


    Since Madeline sat in the back, of course, Annalise wanted to sit in the back as well. Thus, Julian


    changed seats with the people at the back and sat next to Madeline.


    As soon as Benjamin came in, he saw Julian sitting in the back row with Annalise. On the contrary, his


    seat was in the third row. It was obvious who had the higher social status.


    He could not help but snort lightly and muse, “How dare someone who couldn’t even sit in the front


    three rows look down on me and say that I’m narrow-minded?”


    At that thought, he changed his seat with the people in the front row of Julian and sat in front of him.


    After sitting down, he turned around and said, “This world is so small. We meet again.”


    Julian raised his eyebrows slightly. “I guess it’s easy to meet people you despise.”


    “Haha!” Benjamin sneered twice and added, “I thought I would see you in the first row today after


    hearing what you said the other day. This is unexpected. Tsk tsk!”


    “You aren’t any better, though.” Julian quirked his eyebrows in amusement.


    “No, I’m sitting in this row because I changed seats with someone. On the contrary, you’re sitting in this


    row because you only deserve to sit in this row!” Benjamin mocked.


    In response, Julian smiled. “How do you know I didn’t change seats with others?”N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Benjamin replied sarcastically, “Why don’t you stop being so stubborn?”


    Hearing that, Julian did not bother to talk to him anymore.


    He crossed his arms, and it was obvious that he did not want to talk to Benjamin anymore.


    He felt that since he was already there for the charity auction, there were plenty of opportunities to


    humiliate Benjamin.


    On the other hand, Benjamin felt that Julian stopped talking to him because thetter was feeling guilty.


    He also thought of humiliating Julianter.


    Looking at Julian’s rebuttal to Benjamin, Annalise felt delighted.


    Madeline noticed Julian and Benjamin going head-to-head and felt that something was weird.


    “What’s going on? Anna dumped Benjamin, and now, he mistakenly thinks that Anna and Julian are


    together, so he’s jealous?” she thought.


    Just as she was about to approach Annalise and ask her what was going on, she heard two women


    whispering to each other. “Did you see that? That man next to Annalise is so handsome. He’s so good-


    looking.”


    “The man who proposed to Abigail is very handsome too! It’s really hrious. Let me tell you. When


    Benjamin was in a rtionship with Annalise, he cheated on her with Abigail, but in the end, both


    women dumped him.” “Pfft! Are you serious?”


    “Shh! Keep it down. It’s true. The news is reliable.”


    “Haha. This is incredible.”


    Madeline listened to the conversation between the two women and could not hold back her anger.


    “Benjamin actually cheated on Anna with Abigail?” she pondered.


    Immediately, she leaned closer to Annalise and asked in a low voice, “Anna, is it true?”


    “What?” Thetter was a little confused.


    “Check your WhatsApp,” uttered Madeline.


    Annalise instantly checked her WhatsApp and saw the message from Madeline: “Benjamin cheated on


    you with your bitchy cousin?”


    In the past, she never called Abigail bitchy cousin but a loser cousin.


    Seeing that Annalise did not want to say anything, she sent another message: “Tell me the truth!!!”


    Staring at the three exmation marks, Annalise replied: “Yes.”


    Enraged, Madeline gritted her teeth and mmed her phone onto the table. “They just wait!”


    All of a sudden, Benjamin felt a surge of resentment aura behind him. He immediately looked back and


    saw Madeline nce at him contemptuously.


    He was certain that he had never offended such a woman and frowned subconsciously, feeling baffled.


    Thinking that the people in the back row were just ordinary rich people and some of them were not


    even rich,


    he naturally rxed his brows.


    “She must be jealous because I’m rich,” he mentally remarked.


    At that time, the host had invited the auctioneer to the stage.


    After the host announced that the charity g would officially begin, the staff pushed out the first


    auction item a limited edition bottle of perfume donated by Yvonne Fuller, a well-known perfumer in


    Chanaea.


    Once the auctioneer made some exnation, he announced the starting bid of 7,500 dors.


    In an instant, everyone started to bid for the perfume.
