Chased Her Around After Breaking off His Engagement

Chapter 643

Chapter 643: Standing up for a Friend

“Still thirsty,” Benjamin looked at the juice in Isabella’s hand. “I was a bit parched.”

Isabella raised her gaze, indicating the juice in front of him. “Don’t you already have some?”

“Yours tasted better.”

“Here, take it.” Isabella pushed the juice towards Benjamin and picked a fresh one for herself.

Upon realizing that her plan had failed, Benjamin felt a bit sad.

Isabella smiled at him, a playful glint in her eyes. The interaction between the two caught the young ladies’ attention, which irritated them.

After a while, Benjamin got up and went to the main building to wash his hands, as he had gotten a bit of oil on them from the cake.

Meanwhile, Isabella remained in the garden, sipping her juice and casually admiring the beauty of the surroundings.

“I can’t stand her smug expression!”

“Cecilia might tolerate it, but I can’t.”

“Look at her, acting so comfortable as if this place were her home! How dare she!”

“Quick, look at what she’s doing!”

They saw Isabella tear open a small package and pour it into Benjamin’s cup….

“Did she tamper with Benjamin’s cup?”

“How dare she?”

“What does she want to do?”

The girls rushed over, abandoning their coffee and cake, and sternly reprimanded her, “What were you doing?”

Isabella looked at the sudden appearance of these people in confusion and asked, “Is there a problem?”

“How dare you ask us if there’s a problem… What did you put in Benjamin’s cup just now? What were you trying to do?”

“You deceitful woman, taking advantage of your position and still not stopping, thinking you can achieve great things in one step, deluding yourself. Have you ever considered your own identity?”

“We know you’re in a hurry to take Mrs Mason’s position, but you don’t have to be so desperate! Trying to get Benjamin to use such despicable methods in Cecilia’s home. What about your dignity?”

Benjamin had just finished washing his hands and was about to leave the main building when he received a message from Isabella, signalling him not to come over.

Isabella looked at the furious wealthy young ladies standing before her and lazily asked, “Cecilia’s friends?”

“That’s right! We are Cecilia’s close friends!”

The girls stood indignantly before Isabella, ready to demand justice for Cecilia.

Myra heard the commotion and was about to go and see what was happening, but Benjamin gestured for her not to intervene. He wanted to listen to what these girls had in mind.

“You still haven’t said what you put in Benjamin’s cup. He will undoubtedly kick you out without hesitation if he finds out about your sinister intentions.”

“That’s right! Benjamin detested manipulative girls like you!”

“You’re not as noble and pure as Cecilia…”

“It’s just brown sugar.” Isabella raised her gaze, gesturing to the other unopened packets on the table. “He would have been delighted if I had done what you suggested.”

She finished speaking and glanced towards the man in the distance.

Benjamin’s lips curled into a wicked smile. This little girl seemed to understand him quite well.

However, in the eyes of the young ladies present, Isabella’s smile appeared audacious, shameless, and fearless.

“How dare you say such things…”

What about manners?

Didn’t she have any family members to teach her about proper etiquette?

How could she utter such words in public?

“Fine, even if you didn’t tamper with the coffee, don’t get too

cocky. You’re only with Benjamin because Cecilia gave him up for you!”

Friend

“Don’t think you’re so capable. You should act more humbly and put away that arrogant attitude.”

Isabella, puzzled, had several question marks floating in her mind.

Was she acting arrogantly?

Did she give off an air of capability?

Wasn’t she usually low-key enough?

“Benjamin was given to me by her?” Isabella looked at the wealthy young ladies before her with curiosity. “Did she say that to you?”

“She didn’t say anything. Don’t try to manipulate us with your words!”

The wealthy young ladies united against Isabella, chose to remain silent.

Isabella leisurely leaned back, exuding an aura of dominance, and lazily spoke, “Well, you might have misunderstood. Even without me, Benjamin wouldn’t be with her.”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Wendy was the first to step forward and refute.

“I’m talking nonsense?” Isabella raised her languid gaze. “Do you have any evidence?”

“Wendy, at this point, just repeat exactly what Cecilia told you!”

“Let this shameless person see that we’ve known all along. Don’t pretend with us.”

“Cecilia asked you to keep it a secret, so let me say it instead. It has nothing to do with you.”

“Yes, let Rita speak.”

Rita looked at Isabella and bluntly stated the truth.

“The truth is that Wayne persistently pursued Cecilia and won her over with his sincerity. That’s why Cecilia gave up Benjamin and chose to be with Wayne. Do you deny what I just said?”

Everyone felt confident that victory was within their grasp as they looked at Isabella.

However, Isabella suddenly smiled. “Did Cecilia say that to you? Would anyone give up a global billionaire to choose another man? Would you? Would any of you?”

Although the young ladies also believed they wouldn’t…

“But Cecilia had said that the higher the public’s approval of Benjamin, the more discerning they would be about the women around him. She didn’t want to wear a perfect mask for the rest of her life. She could only be herself and be free with Wayne.”

“Do you believe those words?” Isabella smirked at them, suddenly feeling sympathetic towards them for being manipulated by Cecilia.

“Cecilia decided to separate from Benjamin and threaten him with a lifetime of not seeing each other. That’s why Benjamin became scared. Benjamin liked her, but he also had his dignity. He felt Cecilia and Wayne were moving too fast, so he reluctantly found you and appeared ostentatiously with you in front of everyone.”

“He wanted to use you as a new lover to provoke Cecilia. He wanted Cecilia to know that as long as he, Benjamin, wanted, there

would always be women around him. That’s why the usually low- key Benjamin appeared so flamboyant with you in the Mason family.”

“In truth, he wanted to show Cecilia. Did you truly captivate Benjamin? Compared to Cecilia, you paled in comparison!”

Isabella didn’t expect Cecilia to concoct such a lie behind her back, and she couldn’t help but laugh even more.

Her laughter was radiant and beautiful, like the warm winter sun. The entire evening, she seemed to warm up in that instant because of her smile.

“What are you laughing at…”

The confidence of the wealthy young ladies wavered.

Isabella’s laughter seemed to treat them as fools.

“Benjamin knew that Wendy’s mother was the Deputy Minister of Procurement. He knew that Wendy was Cecilia’s close friend, yet he intentionally appeared with you in the Mason family…”

“This proves he still loves Cecilia, and you’re just a substitute!”

“If it weren’t for Cecilia’s threat of a lifetime without seeing each other, Benjamin would never have let go of her and settled for you.”

Isabella found their reactions even more amusing. “Why don’t you ask why I appeared in this garden?”

“Oh, right. Why did you appear here?”
