Chapter 545 Just Hit Her Next Time
Arissa stopped in her tracks abruptly.
Furrowing his brows, Benjamin lowered his gaze at her. “She’s your grandma?”
Arissa had a sullen look on her face. “No!”
Turning around, she sneered, “I don’t have a grandma like you, so stop playing victim just because you’re an elder.
You don’t deserve it at all. Also, don’t call me your granddaughter just because you want me to pay for your things, as
it has nothing to do with me at all!”
Finley stared at her in disbelief. “Aren’t you my granddaughter?”
Arissa was amused. “Am I only your granddaughter whenever you need money? When you don’t, do I turn into a jinx?
Given how vicious you are, shouldn’t you learn to have a heart if you want me to show you some respect?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBy then, a scowl had replaced the smile on her face.
“From the day you sold me off five years ago, I no longer have anything to do with all of you. In fact, I will make sure
you are punished by the law for what you have done. Go back and tell your son that it’s just a matter of time before I
settle this score with him!”
Even though Danna was unforgivable, Regan was worse.
If he hadn’t plotted against her, Danna wouldn’t have had the opportunity to do the same later. Also, she and her
children wouldn’t have had a close shave with death.
“You, how can you be so cruel?”
Finley’s eyes opened so wide that they could pop out anytime.
Just when the bodyguard stepped forward to slap her, Finley held onto her cheeks frantically. “Don’t hit me!”
“If you dare continue ranting, it will be more than just a slap!” the bodyguard warned.
When she saw the usually arrogant Finley terrified into silence, Arissa averted her gaze.
“Let’s go.”
She didn’t want to spend another moment together with Finley, for the latter disgusted her.
After giving his bodyguard a look, Benjamin left together with Arissa.
Inside the car, she put the shopping bags aside.
She had intended to get Mary some shoes, but her mood was spoiled by her encounter with Finley. Hence, she
decided to get them next time.
Benjamin handed her a water bottle. “Drink some hot water.”
Arissa received it and took a few mouthfuls.
When she saw him staring at her, she turned to look at him.
“I’m fine!”
Benjamin’s eyes glistened slightly. “Has that old lady always treated you that way?”
His expression was exceptionally gloomy.
“Other than having a filthy mouth, she’s all right,” Arissa replied in a nonchalant tone, for she had gotten used to it.
It was only when Finley disparaged her mother that she lost her temper.
In response, Benjamin pulled her into his embrace and patted her on the head.
“When someone derides you like that the next time, you should strike first instead of standing there cluelessly, waiting
to be hit.”
Arissa felt a jolt in a heart.
“Mmm-hmm!”
Benjamin stared at her intently, cognizant of her bad mood. “What did you buy?”
“I bought clothes for both Tim and Mdm. Mary. Also, I got Tim a pair of shoes.”
“Let me see.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBenjamin brought the bags over and took out the top she bought for Tim. “Mmm-hmm, this suits him. He looks good
in white given how tan he is.”
Arissa glanced at him.
After Benjamin put it back, Arissa took it out to fold it when she noticed he didn’t do so.
“Is that necessary?”
Benjamin stared earnestly at her.
“It will be crumpled if I don’t fold it.”
After wiping the creases away, Arissa folded it carefully.
“Once we take it back, we’ll have to wash it before letting our son wear it,” Benjamin reminded.
“I know. Even then, it still needs to be folded.”
Arissa put the clothes back into the bag once she was done.
“The children mentioned that you went out to alter some clothes, so I didn’t expect you to be running around buying
them too. Why didn’t you tell me?”
In response to his complaint, Arissa looked at him and smiled. “Aren’t you supposed to be busy? There’s no point in
telling you, as I would be heading back once I am done. By the way, how did you find me?”
When Benjamin leaned back into his seat, he pulled Arissa along, who then adjusted her posture upright.
“Dad called me, as he was worried that you were in trouble. Tracking you down was the easy part.”
Arissa’s heart warmed to learn of it. “That’s really nice of Old Mr. Graham!”
Frowning, Benjamin snapped, “Why are you praising him when I was the one who came to your aid?”
