Chapter 103
They were all deeply touched.
Leo was livid.
He yelled within his heart.
“Don’t believe Ben. He’s a repulsive and malevolent scoundrel,” he spoke up.
However, no one seemed to pay attention to him.
Moreover, ording to everyone’s perspective, Leo himself might have been the malevolent one.
What the hell was that?
Isabe was not in a good mood either.
She knew very well how much Ben and Susan loved each other
their previous lives.
But now, everything had to restart.
Why had nothing ever changed?
Then, what was the point of her putting in so much effort to be with Ben after her rebirth?
Could it be that she was destined to witness Ben and Susan’s love from such a close
vantage point?
No, that was impossible. Life couldn’t be so theatrical.
Since she had the chance to be reborn, she had to be the chosen one. How could she not
get what she wanted?
She just hadn’t found the right way yet.
As Isabe looked at the somber Timothy beside her, an idea suddenly crossed her mind.
She vaguely remembered that Susan’s first love was Timothy.

Chapter 103
Even though Susan was married now, Timothy still liked her.
She knew this because Timothy had caused a significant problemter on, greatly infuriating both Ben
and Susan.
But, Timothy and Susan had notpletely fallen out with each other until now.
Susan had only married Ben for a short period of time, and there might still be some lingering feelings
between her and Timothy.
In this scenario, if Isabe yed her cards right, she might be able to aplish something.
Isabe’s eyes shed and she came up with a crazy n.
She knew that her n was a bit risky.
But if she didn’t take the risk, how could Susan be removed from Ben’s life?
As long as she could seed, it was worth the risk.
Thinking of this, Isabe tried to smooth things over in a soft voice. “It’s all a misunderstanding. Miss
Miller and I had a conflict because of some misunderstanding. But no one else was involved. Please
give me some face and let this matter go.”
Isabe’s words brought everyone back to reality.
This matter had nothing to do with Ben and Leo at the beginning. It was clearly a conflict.
between Isabe and Yana.
Now that Isabe had spoken, Ben had no intention of pursuing it further, so everyone rxed and let
the matter pass with a sense of relief.
But after such a scene, they couldn’t continue dancing.
Isabe instructed the staff to turn off the music. She then arranged for a variety of delicious food to be
brought in for everyone to enjoy and take a break.
As for herself, she asked a waiter to bring red wine and apany her to where Ben and Susan were.

“Mr. Landor, Mrs. Landor.” Isabe raised a ss of wine and said, “I’m sorry for causing
such a big disturbance because of me. I sincerely apologize. To make amends, I’ll take the first sip.”
Isabe drank the entire ss of red wine in one go.
Her demeanor could be described as humble. Furthermore, Isabe was indeed an innocent person
caught up in this situation.
Susan said, “Miss Smith, you don’t need to do this. It’s not your concern.”
Isabe said with a wry smile, “After all, it happened at my banquet.”
Isabe then shook her head as if she didn’t want to say anything more. She just handed the sses to
Ben and Susan in person and said, “This ss of wine is my way of apologizing. Mr. and Mrs. Landor,
please ept my apologies for my mistake.”
At this point, Ben and Susan had to take a casual sip as a gesture.
“Thank you for your understanding.” Isabe walked away with a touched expression on
her face.
Susan looked at her back and said casually, “Miss Smith is actually quite a good person.”
Really?
Ben narrowed his eyes, and a meaningful expression shed in them.
He always felt that there was a lot of strangeness about Isabe.
However, he couldn’t pinpoint anything specific wrong with it for the time being.
Taly
Even so, in his heart, Ben still silently regarded Isabe as someone who needed to be guarded
against.
After drinking with Ben and Susan, Isabe turned around and went to look for Timothy
and Yana.
When Yana saw her approaching, her expression instantly turned gloomy.
“What are you doing here?” Yana said coldly, “Do you want me to p again?”

Yana didn’t have a good–impression of Isabe at all.
After all, it was clear that Isabe was pretending. Isabe was exactly the same as she
had been before.
Yana had no desire to greet her at all.
Yana was not polite at all, but Isabe could still manage to smile.
Isabe said softly, “I said something wrong before and made you misunderstand, Mrs. Leen. I really
didn’t mean anything else. I came here to apologize with a ss of wine as a gesture of reconciliation.”
With that, Isabe drank another ss of wine without hesitation.
Apologize?
Yana looked at Isabe with slight suspicion.
Yana had pped Isabe in the face, and Isabel/
was still so eager to apologize?
Was there such a broad–minded woman in the world?
In any case, Yana did not believe it.
However, Isabe’s expression was very sincere.
She asked someone to bring a ss of wine to Timothy. “Mr. Leen, your wife is pregnant, so I won’t
offer her wine. Let’s have a drink together and let bygones be bygones?”
Isabe also took another ss of wine for herself.
Since Isabe’s demeanor was so good, as a man, Timothy couldn’t put on airs. He picked up his ss
and drank it in one gulp.
Isabe’s eyes flickered and she said with a gentle smile, “Thank you for your understanding, Mr.
Leen.”
Then, she turned around and left.
Yana looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Isabe just left like that?
Did she genuinelye here to make amends with them?
Why did she find it so hard to believe Isabe?
But the fact was in to see, and it seemed that she had no choice but to believe it.
“Crazy woman.” Yana cursed in a low voice. She didn’t care about Isabe anymore and walked
around by herself, enjoying the lively atmosphere of the banquet.
Timothy stood on the spot for a while.
However, he frowned and slowly sat down.
Feeling a little dizzy, Timothy vigorously rubbed his forehead.
What was going on?
Why was he so dizzy?
He had only consumed a single ss of wine, which was well below his usual alcohol tolerance. Why
did he feel like he was about to get drunk?
Timothy sat there alone, looking dazed.
When Isabe noticed Timothy’s condition from afar, her gaze flickered, and then she looked toward
Susan.
She had tampered with that ss of wine.
It appeared to be a regr ss of wine, but in reality, it had been mixed with several types of hard
liquor!
It was easy to make people intoxicated when they consumed a mixture of alcohol, especially
considering how potent it was.
It was natural for Timothy to get drunk.
As for Susan, although she didn’t drink much.

Chapter 103
Isabe was not worried that Susan wouldn’t get drunk at all.
Because Susan had a little secret that she didn’t even know herself.
That was, Susan couldn’t drink a drop of alcohol at all.
In the past, Susan had to have blood drawn, so she wasn’t allowed to drink.
As a result, she had never realized how low her alcohol tolerance was.
The reason Isabe knew about it was that as Ben grew older, he decided to write a memory book that
contained many little secrets about Susan. In Ben’s view, these little. secrets of Susan were all
endearing, and he documented them as a way to show his love.
But in Isabe’s opinion, all of this could be used!
For instance, this time, she could leverage the fact that Susan couldn’t drink, couldn’t she?
Susan was about to get drunk.
Isabe found Leo and whispered, “Can you do me a favor?”
“What can I do for you?” Leo was still depressed.
“Don’t belittle yourself. Of course, you can help,” Isabe said softly.
Her voice was full of encouragement, and Leo immediately perked up.
He looked at Isabe with a touched face. “Isabe, now you’re the only one who believes
me.”
He reached out and wanted to grab Isabe’s hand.
Isabe subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but when she thought that she still needed Leo’s help, she
held back and allowed Leo to hold her hand.
Leo couldn’t help but feel his heart flutter when he saw Isabe so obedient.
“Isabe is indeed interested in me, isn’t she?” he thought.
Before Leo could delve further into his thoughts, Isabe chimed in with a charming tone,

“Leo, could you help me?”
“Absolutely.” Leo nodded enthusiastically.
Isabe’s voice became softer. “I want to talk to your sister–inw alone. Can you find a way to keep
your brother from being with her?”
With Ben around, she couldn’t carry out her n.
Leo suddenly sobered up. He hesitated and said, “I just fell out with him. I…”
“Can’t you help me with such a minor thing?” Isabe looked at him with disappointment in
an instant.
Leo didn’t know what to say.
He patted his chest and said without hesitation, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it for you.”
“I’m counting on you.” Isabe looked at him with trust.
Leo readily agreed, but he was contemting how to divert Ben’s attention elsewhere.
It would be easy if they didn’t fall out with each other.
He could just suggest to Ben that they have a chat in another spot.
But, they had just turned hostile…
Leo didn’t initially want to go over, but when he thought of Isabe’s pleading eyes, he made up his
mind and walked over.
“Ben!” Leo looked at Ben and knelt down on the spot.
Ben nced at him expressionlessly.
What was he trying to do?
“I was wrong, Ben!” Leo said with a sad face, “It was all my fault. But Ben, I have my difficulties.”
Ben silently observed his performance.

Leo was a little flustered, but he still braced himself and said, “Please give me a chance to exin it to
you alone, Ben. I really have my reasons.”
Leo emphasized the word “alone“.
Worried that Ben might not agree, he persisted, “If you don’t agree, I’ll kneel here and won’t
stand up.”
Ben was so infuriated that he chuckled. “Then kneel here.”
Leo didn’t know what to say.
How was he going to salvage his pride?
At this time, Susan said softly, “It’s okay, Ben. Go talk to him. I’ll wait here.”
Ben frowned.
Susan smiled at him. “We’ll always be together, people willugh at us.”
“Who dares tough at us?” Ben snorted and stood up.
He was deeply concerned about Susan’s reputation at this moment. If Leo continued. kneeling here,
who knew what kind of gossip would circte among others? It didn’t matter how he was judged, but it
would be rather unpleasant if Susan got dragged into it
again.

Ben grabbed Leo, wanting to see what he was going to do.
Before they left, Susan smiled gently at Ben.
Afterward, she sat down docilely, nibbling on the pastries in her hand, appearing verypliant.
Susan didn’t look like she was drunk at all.
But Isabe knew that Susan was indeed drunk.
Ben wrote down it very clearly.
This was exactly how she looked when Susan was drunk.

She acted perfectly normal, and Ben didn’t notice it at first.
It wasn’t until he realized that Susan would agree with whatever he said and appeared excessively
well–behaved that he knew Susan was drunk.
Now, Ben wasn’t with her.
And, Timothy and Susan were both drunk.
All set, just need the go–ahead.
