Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald (Edward) novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111 

“Ben, are you finished? Where’s Miss Smith? Why hasn’t she come out yet?” Susan looked at Ben, who had emerged alone, her face wearing a puzzled expression. 

Ben raised his eyebrows. “She might need more time to think things through.” 

“That’s true.” Susan didn’t understand, so she said, “Marriage is a significant decision in one’s life. We really have to give her some time to contemplate.” 

“What’s there to think about?” Leo was anxious. “Everyone knew what happened between her and me. If she doesn’t marry me, how can she endure such shame?” 

“Yes, things had already happened. If she doesn’t marry Leo, she might remain single for the rest of her life,” Penelope said with a sense of superiority, “She is so bold. If it weren’t for her sincerity to Leo, I wouldn’t have agreed to this marriage.” 

“Really?” Isabella regained her composure and came out. She happened to overhear the audacious words spoken by Penelope and Leo. She was so furious that she nearly passed 

out. 

Isabella pointed at Penelope with a trembling finger and said, “I’m telling you, even if I have to be single for the rest of my life, I won’t marry Leo.” 

ia 

Hearing this, Penelope was unhappy. “What do you mean? You have a tarnished reputation now, and it seems that no one wants you. I kindly offered you a way out. It’s perfectly fine if you don’t want to marry Leo, but spouting nonsense like this won’t help your case. Watch out, Leo might truly decide not to marry you.” 

“Isabella, don’t be willful,” Leo said. “Quick, apologize to mom.” 

Leo’s behavior was as if he believed Isabella was already married to him. 

Isabella was so furious that she felt like she might just burst a blood vessel. 

She finally understood why Ben had chosen Leo as the instrument of revenge against her. 

Leo and Penelope utterly disgusted her. 

Isabella felt like she had been bitten by a snake, yet the snake still aimed to sink its fangs into her again!

“Shut up.” Isabella looked at Leo angrily. “What kind of delusion are you entertaining? In this day and age, you expect me to marry you simply because we slept? Leo, do you truly believe you deserve me?” 

Leo was stunned. “Isabella, how could you say that…” 

However, Penelope was completely upset now. 

She suddenly grew displeased, grabbed Leo’s hand, and marched out. “Leo, let’s leave! We’re not going to marry her. The thought of her being naked in front of so many people is humiliating. Why don’t we marry a virtuous girl? Come on, let’s go. I’d like to see who else. would marry her besides you?” 

Isabella was so angry that she couldn’t help shouting, “You don’t have to worry about it!” 

Leo had wanted to say something more, but seeing Isabella’s attitude, he immediately held 

his tongue. 

Penelope was right. No one would marry Isabella except him. 

Although she was so arrogant now, if he indeed chose not to marry her, it wouldn’t be long before she to cry and beg him. 

With that in mind, Leo allowed Penelope to lead him away. 

Isabella was still trembling with anger. 

Charlie frowned. 

Leo and Penelope left just like that? 

Leo and Isabella weren’t in love with each other? 

It seemed Isabella was not willing to marry Leo at all! 

“Mr. Landor senior, I’m sorry. Penelope’s words were incredibly offensive, and I let my anger get the best of me,” Isabella said to Charlie, showing a much more gracious attitude. 

Thinking about what Penelope had said, Charlie felt that Isabella shouldn’t be blamed for being angry! 

Most people would have erupted in anger.

Charlie sighed. “Isabella, Penelope certainly has a sharp tongue. But if you really like Leo, you can marry him with ease. Penelope doesn’t have the authority to dictate the affairs of the Landor family.” 

“I’ll think about it, Mr. Landor senior,” Isabella replied without committing to a definitive answer. She remained polite and gentle. 

Ben couldn’t help sneering when he saw her like this, but he didn’t say anything. 

As he had said before, he had already sought revenge, so he would let it go. 

From now on, as long as Isabella did not hinder him and Susan, he would not do anything 

to her for the sake of the fact that she had saved his grandfather. 

“Then think it over thoroughly,” Charlie patted Isabella’s hand and then stood up. 

Susan hurried forward to support Charlie. 

Then they left first. 

By the time everyone was gone. 

Isabella sneered. 

Marry Leo? 

Absolutely not! 

Even though Ben seemed to dislike her judging from the current situation. 

Isabella did not give up. 

She was a seer, a chosen one. Since fate made her reborn, she was confident that her wishes would undoubtedly be fulfilled. 

Hence, the minor setback she faced at present was merely the final vestige of darkness. before dawn. 

However, she might have to change her strategy a little. 

In the Landor’s house. 

“Who does she think she is? How dare she look down on Leo…” Penelope was still cursing

indignantly. 

“Shut up,” Charlie couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Even if you don’t find it embarrassing, I certainly do!” 

“Dad, how could I possibly have made you feel embarrassed? It’s that woman who should be blamed,” Penelope said. 

Charlie couldn’t be bothered to talk to her anymore. Why hadn’t he realized before that Penelope was so disgraceful, even Leo had been misled by her. 

Fortunately, Ben had been under his guidance since childhood. Charlie shuddered to think about the consequences if he had allowed Penelope to take charge of Ben’s education. 

“If you’re unclear about where you’ve erred, return to your room and contemplate it. Don’t go out if you haven’t thought it through,” Charlie said with a straight face. 

“Dad!” Penelope looked at Charlie in disbelief. “Isabella humiliated Leo like that, and you still want me to be grounded?” 

“Get lost. Don’t appear in my sight.” Charlie couldn’t help rubbing his forehead. 

Ben saw it, he looked at Penelope expressionlessly. ” Penelope, please do as Grandpa 

says.” 

Penelope was a little confused, she subconsciously looked at Leo. 

Leo lowered his head nervously, not even daring to speak up for his mother. 

Penelope could only grit her teeth and reluctantly make her way upstairs. 

“Grandpa.” Leo didn’t care about Penelope at all. He just looked at Charlie with a flattering face and said, “I’ve thought about it carefully. The main reason.Isabella said no is because I haven’t established a successful career yet. She usually admires Ben. If I can make a name for myself, Isabella will surely see me in a different light.” 

What Leo said made sense. 

Charlie nodded and was about to say something. 

Ben continued, “I’ve already promised to provide you with the initial capital of two million dollars. Moreover, I can also assist you in connecting with influential figures in the industry. You don’t need to trouble grandpa about launching a business in the future.”

“Ben, you’ve been treating me kindly,” Leo turned to Ben. “It’s just that I’m afraid two million 

dollars…” 

Ben glanced at him and said indifferently, “Do you want it or not?” 

“Of course, I want it! Two million dollars it is!” Leo said with determination, grinding his 

teeth. 

Ben made a call and asked someone to transfer two million dollars to Leo. 

Leo glanced at the account balance with a spark of joy in his eyes. 

After Ben took over the Landor family, he wasn’t mistreated at all. 

The food and clothing were all of the highest quality. 

However, Ben didn’t give him much cash. 

For Leo, two million dollars was a huge sum of money. 

Should he take the money to start a new business right away? 

Well, it didn’t appear that there was a need to rush. 

Leo remembered that he had a few friends who kept inviting him to drink. 

He didn’t go because he was short of money before. 

Now that he had this huge amount of money in his pocket, he could drink any wine he 

wanted! 

Leo stood up impatiently. “Ben, then I’m going to start a business now.” 

“Go ahead,” Ben said indifferently. 

Leo left quickly. As soon as he went out, he called his friends. “Come on, let’s drink. It’s my treat today!” 

“Leo is quite ambitious.” Charlie sighed. 

Ben remained silent. 

He didn’t believe that Leo had actually embarked on a business venture, but as long as it brought Charlie happiness, he had no interest in uncovering Leo’s true intentions. 

Chapter 111 

In the next few days, Leo went out every day, saying that he was busy starting a business. 

Charlie became even more pleased with the situation. 

Ben remained silent.
