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?
