Chapter 365 What’s Past Is Past
Ally walked over slowly. “May I go in and see him?” “How are you related to the patient? You can see him if you’re directly related to him.”
Ally scratched her delicate brows as she turned to look at Myer for help. “She’s my son’s fiancée.” Myer gave Ally the green light. “Come over and get disinfected,” the nurse said as she led Ally in.
Leah was livid, but she was held back by Colin. “Leave it. That’s the daughter of the Sans family. Don’t offend her.”
“But you can’t just suffer in silence. Your injuries aren’t minor.” Leah looked around and suddenly glared at Jean. “She must have been the one to tell Ben about this. Was it worth it fighting over with his cousin for a woman like that?”
There was a desolate expression on Colin’s face.
He knew full well that he couldn’t blame anyone. He had been drunk, and it had slipped out when he was at a dinner party with others, which was why it spread to Ben.
It was up to Jean if she wanted to invest.
But Leah blamed it on Jean.
Seeing Ally walk in, Myer came to Farra and Jean with a dark face. “Bennie needs to rest. You can leave if there’s nothing else.”
He ignored Farra’s expression and turned to walk into the elevator after that.
“That old geezer. He doesn’t listen to anyone.”
She turned and comforted Jean. “Don’t take it to heart. I will look for an opportunity to tell him what you think so that there won’t be a misunderstanding. Also, about Ally being Bennie’s fiancée, there’s no such…”
“Mrs. Ludwig, it’s fine.”
Jean’s lips twitched. She smiled. “You don’t have to explain so much.”
Farra swallowed back what she had wanted to say when she heard what Jean said.
If she said anymore, she would be going against Jean’s will. Farra felt guilty as she saw how Jean had her guard up against her.
“I said so many hurtful things to you in the past. I’m to blame. You’re a mature, good girl. You’ll find someone that you like.” Farra patted Jean’s hand and sighed slowly.
All is fair in love and war.
Putting in time and effort wouldn’t necessarily be rewarded.
Inside the room, Ben had awoken and was done with his check-up.
“Your bones aren’t injured but do take note of your movements. Come for a check-up in two weeks,” the doctor said before instructing the nurses to discharge him.
Ben knew that Jean would be there, so he got up and wanted to leave but was stopped by Ally, who had come barging in.
“Step aside.”
“Are you going to see Jean? She left after being berated by Mr. Ludwig.”
Ally started to spin a tale of her own unblinkingly. “I saw someone pick her up. It looked like Edgar from the figure. There’s no use in running out now. You won’t be able to catch up with her.”
Ben stopped. There was a clear disappointment on his face.
Ally took the opportunity and walked to his other side. “I think Mr. Ludwig is right. If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t have gotten into a fight by the road. This has affected the Ludwig Group badly. I don’t know how much you’ll have to spend to improve your image.”
“Our image?”
Ben glanced at her with a cold expression.
“Yes. In business, the company’s reputation is most important, along with your image. But you don’t have to worry. I’ve asked my dad to look for the best public relations company. This negative news will soon be wiped clean.”
Many people would do so in the industry.
