Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 681

Yesterday what Ben said nearly scared Lady Georgia to death. Though Lady Georgia recovered consciousness at the end, it was still a great shock to her. So, Ben thought he should be blamed and he was willing to take on the punishments.

Staring at Ben who was still bowing down to him, Jared pressed his lips tightly and his expression was cold, and he didn't have the least intention to tell Ben to rise up since he was as mad as hell.

At that moment, the atmosphere was thick with tension. Nobody started to speak and there was only silence except for the sound of breathing, a condition that would easily arouse fear. Ben was scared now since Mr. Farrell didn't speak a word but only stared at him. He would rather be beaten than be given the cold shoulders and he broke into a cold sweat out of pressure.

"Jared." Amber could tell Ben was stressed out, so she pulled at Jared's sleeve with a sigh and was going to say something nice for Ben.

Looking at her, Jared understood her intention at once and he didn't want to put her into a dilemma. Therefore, turning to Ben, he said coldly, "What have you said to my grandma?"

To Ben's relief, Mr. Farrell finally decided to speak to him, which meant Mr. Farrell wasn't that angry and he would be spared a life. Ben thought to himself, "Thank you so much, Ms. Reed. If you haven't persuaded Mr. Farrell, I might be a dead man now."

"Mr. Farrell, yesterday I told Lady Georgia…" Ben broke off in the middle of a sentence and glanced at Amber apologetically.

Amber understood Ben didn't want her to hear the conversation, so she smiled and said, "Take your time, gentlemen, I will be waiting for you inside the room." Then, she walked into the house. She had known yesterday that Ben didn't want to tell her about this, so she didn't feel offended.

Watching Amber going into the room, Jared didn't stop her. Jared knew Ben had his reasons, and if Ben wouldn't tell Amber, it was because what he said to grandma was something about Jared's health. Otherwise, grandma wouldn't pass out so easily for she was a tough woman who lived through many hardships. Even the bankruptcy of the Farrell Group wouldn't cause grandma to faint. Her only weakness was her two grandchildren – Jared and Logan, and only when there was something wrong with her grandchildren would she truly be scared.

After making sure Amber had left, Jared turned to Ben and questioned Ben with his eyes squinted, "You told grandma about my heart, didn't you?"

What would be a threat to his health was the matter of his heart. So, that must be what Ben had said to grandma.

Ben lowered his head guiltily and said, "Yes."

Hearing the answer, Jared could barely contain his anger, and he rebuked in a tone that chilled Ben with fears, "Why did you tell her? Haven't I told you to keep it a secret and don't let grandma or Amber know? How dare you!"

"I am so sorry, Mr. Farrell," Ben said regretfully, "I knew I shouldn't tell Lady Georgia, but she noticed something was wrong with your health when you were drunk with wine. So, she started to press me for telling her the truth and I couldn't hold it back anymore. To be honest, Mr. Farrell, even if I didn't tell her, she would find out the truth by herself anyway."

Pressing his lips into a thin line, Jared fell into silence. He was a reasonable person, and after hearing Ben's explanation he knew Ben wasn't entirely to blame. He himself was the one who made more mistakes. He overestimated his health condition that he could be drunk with even a bit of wine.

Rubbing his forehead, Jared said, "Well, since grandma was fine, I will forgive you."

Ben's eyes brightened and he smiled in surprise. "Thank you, Mr. Farrell."

"How is grandma doing now?" Jared asked concernedly.

Pushing up the glasses, Ben answered, "She is perfectly all right. She was sent to the hospital in time and recovered as soon as she arrived. But she is nursing her health now and will be discharged a few days later."

"Okay," Jared said.
