Chapter 15


    On this day, Susan deliberately kept herself on edge, not daring to fall into deep sleep.


    But when she woke up early, the servant said that Ben had already gone out for a morning jog.


    Susan went downstairs after washing up and coincidentally ran into Bening back.


    Despite the weather turning colder, Ben was still covered in sweat.


    The sweat dripped down his forehead, entuating his scars, making them appear more menacing.


    Probably because Susan grew ustomed to it, she didn’t find it scary anymore.


    She hurried forward and said, “Ben, next time you go for a run, you can let me know so I can join


    you.”


    Ben nced at her with a faint expression. “There’s no need for that.”


    Sensing the detachment in his words, Susan froze for a moment and did not say anything further. But


    in her heart, she was slightly distressed.


    Last night, everything was perfectly fine at the beginning. Why did things suddenly change? The


    rumors were true–Ben was unpredictable.


    Ben looked at her and remained silent.


    His attitude should have made it clear to Susan what he meant.


    A person like him shouldn’t have been involved in any romance.


    It was best to stifle it before anything happened.


    During breakfast, everyone ate in silence, especially Ben. He purposely took a seat far away from


    Susan, seemingly determined to keep his distance from her.


    Penelope nced at Ben and then at Susan, with a hint of a smirk in her


    eyes.


    She had been worried that Ben and Susan would work together against her.


    But now, she didn’t have to worry about that anymore.


    Ben was a capricious man, and just because he had helped Susan before didn’t mean he would


    continue to do so.


    It seemed that the rtionship between the two had already shattered.

    Charlie watched with a hint of concern but restrained himself from saying anything.

    After Ben left, Penelope wiped her lips and said slowly, “Susan, are you and Ben having a


    disagreement?”


    Susan was also confused and shook her head, saying. “No.

    Penelope gave her a sympathetic look and said, “You don’t have to hide it. Ben has always been


    moody. Even if he likes something for a moment, he will forget about it soon. When he was ten years


    old, he had a cat that he adored. He used to sleep while holding it every night. But then, one day,


    inexplicably, he had a grim expression and had the cat sent away. Since then, we have never seerpit


    again. So, don’t me him. He’s not targeting you; he simply can’t staymitted. You have to learn to


    be patient.”


    Penelope seemed to be teaching Susan, but her words were ufortable to hear.


    That being said, Susan also didn’t understand how Ben’s attitude could have suddenly changed.


    She pursed her lips and said nothing.


    “What are you talking about?” Charlie red at Penelope and added, “Can a cat bepared to a


    person?”


    Penelope instantly felt aggrieved. “I was just giving an example. Forget it. As a stepmother, no matter


    what I do now, it’s always wrong. Susan, just treat it as a joke and don’t take it seriously.”


    “Of course, I won’t. Susan forced a smile.


    Charlie couldn’t help but re at Penelope again and then said, “Susan, I know that Ben has a bad


    temper, but deep down, he really is a good man. Rtionships take time to develop. Don’t worry.


    Charlie really liked Susan. He was worried that Ben’s temper might scare her away. After some


    thought, he took out a card and handed it to Susan. “Susan, when you married into the family, we did


    prepare some things, but as I don’t know your preferences, there might be some things that don’t suit


    your taste. Take this card and buy some jewelry, essories, or clothes.”


    Susan was taken aback and hurriedly said, “Mr. Landor, you don’t have to do this.”


    “Just take it. From now on, you can keep it yourself and buy whatever you want. This card is linked to


    Ben’s main card. Even if you buy a few small countries, you won’t be able to run out of money on it,”


    Charlie said as he handed the card to Susan determinedly.


    Susan couldn’t resist the insistence of Charlie, so she had to take the card.


    She didn’t n on using Ben’s money; she just wanted to keep the card safe.


    Penelope was watching from the side, her eyes filled with jealousy.

    She wanted that card, but Charle never gave it to her yet he easily gave it to Susan, who had just been


    their family member for a few days


    She was so mad about Charlies pantality to Suran.


    “Alright, you don’t need to keep an old man like mepany at home. Today, go out and buy yourself


    something. Have fun Charlie waved his hand. Til have the driver take you out. Your are not allowed to


    go home today without spending ten million dors.”


    Susan was shocked.


    Tengnillion dors!


    Why did Charlie speak about it as casually as if it were one dor? She felt a bit flustered.


    She was just about to figure out how to refuse when Charlie directly pushed her out.


    The driver was already waiting outside, and Susan was pushed into the car in a daze.


    “Don’t bring her home until she spends ten million dors,” Charlie said to the driver domineeringly.


    The driver responded loudly.


    “Mr. Landor was acting like a child… Susan thought. She could only smile helplessly.


    Watching the car go away, Charlie couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    He was worried sick about Ben’s marriage.


    He thought that the previous girl was not suitable for Ben.


    But as for Susan, he strongly felt that this girl would bring him surprises. Perhaps she was the one who


    could redeem Ben from the darkness.


    Ben was so difficult, and Charlie could only personally help him please his wife.


    He hoped that his efforts would not be in vain.


    “Mrs. Landor, is there anywhere you would like


    to go?” the driver asked respectfully.


    That gave Susan a headache. “Let’s just go somewhere and wander.”


    The driver said in a gentle voice, “Mrs Landor, Mr. Landor is quite resolute in his decisions. Forgive me


    for being blunt, but if you don’t spend all ten million dors, he might really not let you return home


    Speechless, Susan thought, “Why is he forcing me to spend money?”

    But she could only try to figure out where she could go to spend this enormous sum.


    The driver then suggested, “There’s a luxury jewelry auction today. Would you like to take a look?”


    “A luxury jewelry auction? That sounds like it would cost a lot of money.” Susan mused.


    “Let’s go!” Susan made up her mind instantly.


    The driver agreed and took her to the auction.


    After getting out of the car, Susan looked around.


    The auction hadn’t officially started yet, but she could see many well–dressed people making their way


    inside.


    Entering the auction was simple; all she had to do was spend 200 thousand dors to purchase a


    temporary card. If she bought something during the auction, the 200 thousand dors would be


    deducted from her total. If not, or if there was a remaining bnce, it would be refunded.


    The 200 thousand dors mainly served as a barrier to keep out those without the financial means.


    Susan bought the temporary card and was about to find a discreet ce to sit when suddenly, a voice


    of surprise rang out.


    “Oh, Susan, why are you here?”


    This voice made Susan’s back stiffen.
