Chapter 364 Getting into a Fight Because of Her
She had never been an indecisive person, but it was as though Edgar had left a lasting mark on her life. She needed a lot of courage and resolved to bid him farewell for good.
One of her flaws was that she was stubborn. She meant what she said about removing Edgar from her life.
Once Jean arrived home, she arranged the workflow of the day and confirmed the interview arrangements for the day after the next before she opened her chat with Ben. “Are you free tomorrow at noon?”
She had just typed it out when her cell phone vibrated with a hum. It was a call from Ben. Jean accepted the call, and she soon heard Ben’s voice. There was a lot of background noise, like he was on the street.
“Don’t go near Colin’s project at all. I’ll come to look for you tomorrow.”
He hung up after that.
Jean was baffled.
The next day, she woke up and saw the headline, ‘The son of a rich family in a roadside brawl.’
Although the picture was obscured, she could tell that it was Ben with one glance.
Jean called him at once. She tried a few times, but it was disconnected.
She had to look for gossip sites instead, where she found a source and saw a picture of the hospital. She went there at once, and while the paparazzi weren’t paying attention, she sneaked into the inpatient department.
She had just reached the floor below when she bumped into Ally. There were fresh flowers in Ally’s hands as she was walking in hastily.
“Jean?” She raised her brows and suddenly smiled. “Don’t tell me that you’re looking for Ben?”
Jean couldn’t be bothered to answer her, and she continued walking in.
Ally quickly caught up to her and started to mock her. “If I were you, I wouldn’t come. I would be so ashamed to face the Ludwig family. If not for you, Ben wouldn’t get into a fight and make trouble. Do you know that this has ruined his future?”
Jean wouldn’t have reacted if anyone else had said it, but unfortunately, the person who said it was Ally.
“Ms. Sans, we’re not close. It’s up to me who I want to visit. If you continue gossiping in front of me, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Ally was startled.
Everyone around them looked at them because of what Jean had said.
Her pretty, exquisite face flushed and paled in an instant. She was so taken aback that she couldn’t retort.
Jean turned and walked in without looking back.
Even though her expression seemed like she didn’t care, her heart was crushed by what Ally had said.
Did Ben get into a fight for her?
Who was the one who was beaten up? The time last night, it couldn’t have been…
She walked out of the elevator quickly and saw that a few people were standing at the door of the hospital room. There were Ben’s parents, his cousin, Colin, and his cousin-in-law, Leah. Everyone else should be those from Ludwig Group.
Jean took a few steps forward. “Is Ben alright, Mrs. Ludwig?”
As soon as she said it, a few of them looked at her at the same time.
At that moment, Jean realized that there was gauze wrapped around Colin’s head, and his hand seemed to be injured.
Leah was also looking at her with pure hatred.
“Jeannie, you’re here.” Farra immediately pulled her. “Bennie’s condition is stable, but because he was struck where he was previously injured, the doctors suggested hospitalizing him so that he can have a thorough check-up. You don’t have to worry. It’s not as serious as reported in the news.”
That was the case, but…
“Why are you telling her so much? The two cousins fell out because of her. She was the one who put them in the hospital!”
Leah berated coldly at one end. Her alluring eyes stared at Jean’s face.
She said the same thing as Ally, and it puzzled Jean.
Shortly after, Ally walked out of the elevator with a bunch of flowers.
She had an unbelievably nervous expression as soon as she appeared. “Mr. Ludwig, I rushed over as soon as I saw the news. Is Ben alright?”
How did she have time to buy flowers if she had rushed over immediately?
To Jean, this rich young daughter was putting on a show with all her airs and graces.
But Myer was very taken by it.
Farra, who was at the side, wrinkled her brows and shook her head. She knew her husband too well, but she could clearly remember how heartless Ally had been when Ben was previously hospitalized. She had even criticized Ben when she was on the phone with others.
Once something like that had happened, it was impossible to erase.
Farra coughed and pulled Jean to sit at the other side as she told Jean in detail what had happened the night before.
As it turned out, while Ben was drinking at a dinner party, he heard by chance that someone had invested in Colin’s project. He was curious and asked about it, but he had never imagined that they had looked for Jean.
Ben was livid. He had asked for Colin’s address and went to beat him up at once.
At that point, Colin had also drunk, so the two of them argued on the street. This alerted the police, and reporters also caught wind of it, which was how the matter was exposed overnight.
“Bennie’s dad thinks that since this is a Ludwig family matter, it doesn’t look too good now that everyone knows about it.”
Farra sighed as she continued, “I can understand why, but no one can be blamed. If someone has to be blamed, it’s Bennie. He couldn’t control his temper, and he had to get into a fight on the street.”
Jean never thought that such a thing would happen.
“I thought… never mind. It’s in the past, after all. Furthermore, I never planned to invest in their project. I wanted to tell Ben about this today.”
Leah kept saying that Ben knew about it when she looked for Jean. She had even implied that she only came because Ben had recommended Jean, as though it was in Jean’s interest.
At the end of the day, it was all the couple’s doing.
If Jean hadn’t consulted Hugo and adjusted the direction of the company’s development, she would have most likely gone through with it based on the fact that Ben had helped her so many times previously…
But there was no use talking about such things.
“I hope that Ben can recover and that this can be resolved as soon as possible.”
She looked in Colin’s direction. Even though he had been beaten up, he looked like he wasn’t in seriously injured. At the very least, he hadn’t been wheeled into the operation theatre.
Farra held Jean’s hand and sighed softly again. “It would be great if you and Bennie could try dating.”
As soon as she said it, Ally’s voice rang out from another end.
“It’s not right for you to say such a thing. Although Ben was the one who made the first move, he seemed to be hurt more! I think that you should compensate Ben instead.” Ally was personally defending Ben.
Myer was very satisfied with such a performance.
In the blink of an eye, he put everything the Sans family had previously done behind him.
Leah was livid. “How can you say that? My husband’s head is busted.”
Ally snorted softly. “If you want to argue, I will get my lawyers here to reason with you.”
In an instant, the clamor in the corridor increased.
A nurse came out from the inside. “Please be quiet. The patient is undergoing a check-up.”
