Chapter 332 Wishful Thinking
Out of reflex, Ben shuddered but he quickly said, “I got it. Aunt Lara, don’t worry. I’ll definitely make her
happy.”
Lara said, “Alright. Later on, be sure to talk sweetly.”
Ben nodded.
While they were chatting, Ss had led Eric and Kelly out of the monitoring room. At once, Lara stood
up and walked over to them. “Eric, Kelly, please calm down. It’s all Ben’s fault and I’ve scolded him for
hours just now. However, since what’s done is done, why don’t we think of a solution to settle it? Ben
has already made his stand clear-he has always liked Aleena and he’s willing to marry her. If you’re
fine with it, why don’t we make this marriage happen?” Indifferently, Eric and Kelly stared at Lara,
seemingly unmoved. For the sake of their past rtionship, they didn’t humiliate Lara. Besides, they
hadn’t found any substantial evidence so they couldn’t argue groundlessly, which was why they didn’t
go berserk.
Yet, things were happening as predicted by Ss. Ben wants to marry our daughter? Impossible!
“Do you think we’ll marry our daughter to a man who took advantage of her?” Kelly mocked. Her words
were totally not what Lara had expected. How did the situation turn out this way? Wasn’t marrying their
daughter to her nephew the only option for them after the scandal happened? Lara looked at Ss.
“Ss, didn’t you show the footage to Uncle Eric and Aunt Kelly?”
Ss didn’t reply to her. Instead, Eric said, “We’ve watched it. Aleena was drugged due to her own
wrongdoings. She made her bed so let her lie in it.” Feeling slightly relieved, Lara smiled sheepishly.
“Since things have happened, let’s not me the kids anymore. It’s all a misunderstanding and Ben
only did it to save her. I’ve asked him about the drug and he said that there’s no other solution to save
Aleena other than what they did. Eric, Kelly, I understand how you feel and I feel so heartbroken for
Aleena too. However, there were countless reporters here today and we can’t predict what will appear
in the news tomorrow. Therefore, we muste up with a solution as soon as possible. What do you
say?” With an icy face, Eric looked at Lara. “So your suggestion is to bring them together?”
Lara knitted her eyebrows. “Do you have a better solution, Eric?”
Kelly snorted in contempt. “Although Ben did that to save Aleena, as a man, he has indeed taken
advantage of her like he said. Besides, is he truly in such a difficult position like what you im? If he
sincerely wanted to save Aleena, couldn’t he have done it somece else? Why did he have to make it
known to everyone at Old Man Nn’s birthday party? Confessing that he admires Aleena is just
nonsense. Even we, who don’t pay attention to gossip, have heard of his reputation as a womanizer so
it’s impossible that you have no idea about it. Lara, do you think that we are pushovers? Is that why
you are asking Aleena to marry this kind of man?” Awkwardly, Lara forced a smile while exining,
“Well, aren’t we discussing a solution? It would be great if you have a better solution.” Kelly sneered,
“Aleena is unconscious due to the drug but Ben is conscious. We’ve done you a huge favor for not
getting to the bottom of the fact that he took advantage of my daughter. Saving her is a nice way to put
it, but I call b*llshit! If that was another man, I would have charged him for raping my daughter!”
Squinting, Lar’s face darkened. “Kelly, you’ll ruin the rtionship between our families if you put it that
way.” After that, she dragged Ben over and asked, “Ben, what actually happened? Why did you go to
Aleena’s room? Did she invite you in or did you take advantage of her?” Ben was quick-witted. “I didn’t,
Aunt Lara. I like Aleena but I didn’t take advantage of her. I only went to rest in the room after drinking
wine and I truly didn’t expect that Aleena woulde in. She asked me to help her and I agreed
because I couldn’t bear to see her suffer…”
