Chapter 85 Ben Roberts, You B*stard! Reaching out, Jessica grabbed Lyla and lambasted loudly, “Come out, d*mn it! You have the guts to
seduce a man, yet you don’t have the guts to admit it? You’re hiding behind a man like a coward!” Lyla
surreptitiously tugged at Ben as she murmured pitifully, “You’ve misunderstood. We were really
discussing business.” Livid, Jessica clutched at her and demanded, “Fine, then! Tell me, what did you
two discuss that took an entire night?” “No, I’d just arrived. Mr. Roberts said he was in the room, so I
went there to meet him, but you then arrived,” Lyla quibbled. Raising her hand, Jessica slapped her
across the face again. “So, it’s a requirement to strip when you two discuss business? If you continue
quibbling, I’ll tear your tongue off!”
Lyla hid behind Ben, covering her face with both hands. At this time, Ben, who’d been keeping silent,

fuss and make this common knowledge?” Jessica shook off his hold with much effort, her eyes blazing
red with fury. “What do I have to fear? Since you two cheaters aren’t at all afraid, why would I be
afraid? I want to let everyone know that you’re a scumbag, and she’s a home-wrecker!” As she said
that, she took out her cell phone to snap their pictures. “Ben!” Lyla exclaimed before hiding behind the
man’s back in terror. Similarly panicked, Ben snatched the cell phone in Jessica’s hand and smashed it
to the ground, glaring at her furiously. “That’s enough!” Staring at her cell phone that had been
smashed to smithereens, Jessica asked with forced calmness, “Ben Roberts, you are determined to
protect her, yes?” Ben remained expressionless, but he shielded Lyla behind him. This unconscious
action instantly infuriated Jessica, and she sneered, “If you hand this woman over to me today, I’ll let
this matter slide. Otherwise, I’ll call off our engagement!” Inhaling deeply, Ben suppressed the fury
within him and stretched out his hands to embrace her. “Alright, stop making trouble for no reason. I’ve
said that there’s nothing between us. I’ll explain further to you at home.”
Jessica slapped his hand away, her face crumpled in disappointment. “If there’s nothing between the
two of you, why are you shielding her to such an extent? You think I’m a fool, yes?” After saying that,
she reached out to grab Lyla. “Come over here. D*mn you!” Terror-stricken, Lyla hurriedly dodged.
Losing his cool, Ben extended his hands and shoved her away. “Stop messing around!” It was a rather
forceful shove, so Jessica
stumbled back several steps before falling onto tặe ground. The onlookers all exclaimed in surprise,
having not expected them to get physical. At this moment, they moved from merely looking on to urging

properly instead.” “You should give her some leeway since you’re a man!” As her eyes rapidly stung,
Jessica scrambled up from the ground and rushed at Ben as though she’d lost her mind, her fists
swinging. “Ben Roberts, you b*stard!” Caught off guard, Ben took several blows. All at once, he then
grew enraged and swung his hand across her face. “Are you not finished with your tantrum yet? Isn’t
this common to men? I’ve already explained things to you, so when are you going to cease this
nonsense? And you call yourself a socialite? You’re no different from a shrew on the street! You want to
call off the engagement, yes? Go ahead!” After he’d said that, he wanted to leave while pulling Lyla
along, but unexpectedly, he was kicked back into the crowd just after having taken two steps. At the
same time, a woman’s voice rang out. “It’s even an insult to scumbags to label you as a scumbag. Are
you even human? You want to make yourself scarce after hitting someone, huh?”
