Chapter 278 Benjamin Backs Her Up
Meanwhile, Hector’s face fell instantaneously upon Arissa’s words. The young heir of a wealthy family? Is she talking about me?
The grimness on his face became more intense when he heard that Regina even had scandals with married men.
Sensing that Hector seemed to be swayed by Arissa’s words, Regina snarled, “Stop lying! If not, I’ll rip you apart!”
Squeezing out an insincere smile, Arissa mocked, “I’m just telling the truth. Why are you flipping out all of a sudden? No doubt, it’s easy as pie for you to rip me apart. After all, both the young heir and your beloved sugar daddies are backing you up. As for me, I’m just an ordinary woman without any support. Ms. Lawson, please spare me. Don’t be infuriated by my words.”
Then, she turned to look at Hector deliberately. “Mr. Robinson, am I right?”
Wearing a look of utter grimness, Hector snapped at her, “If you did not reject me at that time, you would have been able to lead a better life now!”
Deep down, Hector fumed. How dare she try to imply that I’m bad at choosing women! I confessed my feeling toward her at that time, didn’t I? But she rejected me in front of everyone!
Boiling with rage, Regina’s entire body trembled uncontrollably. Prevailed by jealousy, she glared at Arissa with flaring eyes. How could Hector still think of her now!
In the meantime, a hint of displeasure flashed across Benjamin’s eyes. He stepped forward and wrapped his arm around Arissa’s waist, obviously possessive of her.
Exuding an imposing aura, he snickered. “What makes you think that she’s not living a good life like you? Don’t jump to a hasty conclusion just because she’s carrying all these in her arms. Let me tell you, this is simply how we tease each other.”
Tightening his arms around Arissa, he lowered his eyes and gazed at her lovingly as he murmured, “Am I right, Rissa?”
Arissa could not resist but gulp as goosebumps prickled her skin at his exaggerative words.
Even so, the domineering man shot her a warning look, hinting her not to go against his will.
Thus, she had no choice but to put on her brightest smile and nod shyly. “Yeah!”
Hector was overcome by another wave of fury when he saw how Arissa blushed as she snuggled into Benjamin’s arms. He gritted his teeth as if she had betrayed him.
Right at that instant, Benjamin shot him a sharp look.
The man’s intimidating gaze caused him to chicken out and shift his gaze away sheepishly. Moments later, he came to himself and glared at the man again.
Turning a blind eye to the unreasonable couple, Benjamin headed toward his car with his arm wrapped around Arissa.
Regina freaked out when Arissa and Benjamin gave no hoots to her. She caught up to them and yelled out, “Just a minute! Sir, I don’t think you know how Arissa used to be, do you? She used to lead a promiscuous life and have countless bedmates. Do you know that she even had an abortion…”
However, her voice trailed off when Benjamin stopped in his tracks and turned to glance obliquely at her. The ferocity in his eyes almost scared the living daylights out of her.
After a while, she continued to babble, “You can run a background check on her if you don’t believe me. It’s no secret to everyone!”
Regina felt a rush of schadenfreude in an instant. She could barely wait for the man to flip out and cut ties with Arissa.
Arissa gritted her teeth in utter resentment. This b*tch! She must be the one spreading rumors at the campus!
At the peak of fury, she was about to settle the score with the despicable woman when the man alongside her uttered grimly, “Do you know what will happen to you if you try to frame my woman?”
Sebastian’s tone was as cold as the abyss, making the temperature around them drop drastically.
Arissa’s heart skipped a beat at once. She knew all too well that Benjamin’s temper was flaring.
Staring at the man’s face that was darkening gradually, she was momentarily dazed. My goodness! He looks so captivating when he’s angry!
Intimidated by Benjamin’s dangerous aura, Regina took one step backward instinctively. Putting on a brave front, she retorted, “Everyone knows about that. How can you say that I’m framing her?”
“Fine!” Benjamin hissed in an icy-cold tone and turned to instruct the bodyguard solemnly, “Call my lawyer!”
“Understood, Mr. Graham!” The bodyguard nodded respectfully.
While making the call, he asked, “Ms. York, what’s this woman’s name?”
Arissa was stunned. She had thought that Benjamin was simply putting on a show to threaten Regina. Without any hesitation, she gladly replied, “Regina Lawson!”
“You…” Dumbstruck, Regina was rendered speechless. Although she felt a chill creeping up her spine, she still fought to maintain her tough front as she tamp down her fear.
