Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald (Edward) novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119 

Penelope said sadly, “Dad, Susan cheated on Ben. Why are you yelling at me? Is it fair for you to treat me like this? Is there really no place for me in this family? Then maybe I should 

leave!” 

“You’re being foolish. You should leave and think carefully about what you just said,” Charlie scolded her, glaring. “Take a good look, who is this person?” 

“Then who else could it be? It’s clear he’s 

just a toy boy. Susan is using Ben’s money to 

keep a gigolo. How disgraceful she is,” Penelope added angrily. 

Ben raised his eyebrows and said lightly, “You called me a ‘gigolo‘? Thanks, madam, I’ll take it as a compliment.” 

“Hey, you…” Penelope was about to scold him when she was suddenly stunned. 

She looked at Ben in disbelief. 

Ben looked at her expressionlessly. “Why aren’t you continuing.” 

Penelope looked at Ben in a daze. After a long while, she stammered, “You… you are…” 

“I’m a gigolo,” Ben said with a smile. 

Penelope was upset. 

What gigolo? 

It was obviously Ben! 

“Why are the scars on your face gone?” Penelope blurted out in shock. 

Ben ignored her and looked at Charlie with a smile, “Grandpa, how did you recognize me?” 

Vas “You were 

Charlie looked at Ben with a hint of warmth in his such a handsome young lad when you were ten years old. Throughout the years, every time I glanced at your photos, I couldn’t help but wonder what you would be like today if it weren’t for the fire. Ben, you look exactly as I had imagined. As my grandson, you should look just like this.” 

As Charlie spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. 

Ben had a bitter expression in his eyes.

He knelt halfway in front of Charlie and took his old hand. “Grandpa, I’m sorry. If I had known how much it would mean to you, I wouldn’t have put on these fake scars on my 

face.” 

Charlie touched Ben’s face and couldn’t help but smile. “You did a good job. Most of the time, a terrifying face can indeed save you a lot of trouble.” 

Needless to say, the reason Ben had a bad reputation was mostly because of his 

appearance. 

A menacing visage was sufficient to intimidate others. 

By the time he was 18 years old, his unsettling countenance had the power to deter individuals within the company. It was likely due in part to his strangely menacing appearance that he was able to exert control over the company through forceful methods. 

“I didn’t think too much about it at first,” Ben said frankly. “At first, I just wanted to remind myself not to forget the harm that woman has done to me.” 

However, later on, Ben discovered that at times, this disguise was genuinely useful, so he couldn’t be bothered to remove the scars. 

“Have you moved on since you removed those scars?” Charlie asked. 

“I can’t say that I’ve moved on. It’s just that now I have someone I want to protect,” Ben replied earnestly.

Charlie looked at Ben and then at Susan. He couldn’t help but smile with relief. “That’s good.” 

Charlie understood that it was not until this moment that Ben finally let go of his past. 

All of this was thanks to Susan. 

Charlie waved his hand, indicating for Susan to come over. 

Susan hurriedly walked over. 

Charlie held one of Susan’s hands and the other of Ben’s. Then, he crossed their hands. 

Afterward, he said with a smile, “This time, can I expect to attend your wedding soon?” 

Ben nodded calmly. “Sure.”

Susan blushed and lowered her head. 

“All right, you two should have a lot to talk about. You can go upstairs,” Charlie said with a 

smile. 

“Wait, Grandpa, I want to stay and talk to you,” Susan said hurriedly. 

For some reason, she just didn’t dare to face Ben alone. 

Ben squinted. 

Susan shamelessly took a seat next to Charlie and held his hand tightly. “Grandpa, it’s been a while since you told me a story from your time on the battlefield.” 

Charlie had initially intended to persuade her to return upstairs, but upon hearing this, his interest was piqued. “It’s unusual for you to enjoy it so much, then I’ll tell you again.” 

Charlie immediately started to vividly recount the story he had told numerous times 

before. 

Nonetheless, Susan still exclaimed from time to time as if it were the first time she had 

heard it. This greatly encouraged Charlie, and he couldn’t help but speak even more enthusiastically. 

Ben was speechless. 

Seeing Susan putting in so much effort to feign surprise, Ben couldn’t help but laugh. 

But there was still a trace of warmth in his eyes. 

Now he was accompanied by his grandfather and Susan. 

He was content with the current situation, truly content. 

Seeing that Charlie and Susan seemed to have a good relationship, Penelope couldn’t help feeling upset. 

Charlie was her greatest backer in the Landor family. She could not allow Susan to completely win him over. 

Penelope recalled something she had looked into and couldn’t help saying with a smile, “Susan, I don’t mean to criticize you, but even though you and Ben care about each other, you should give Dad the nutritional products before giving them to Ben. How can you only

think about Ben?” 

Susan was speechless. 

Penelope was intrigued and quickly said, “I heard from the maid that you’ve hidden a small bottle of wine in the kitchen. It’s said to contain various precious ingredients that are highly beneficial for health. You have Ben drink a small glass of it every day. Susan, if this wine indeed works, you should give it to dad first.” 

That bottle of wine? 

Susan immediately panicked. 

Why did Penelope know so many things? She even unearthed such a minor detail! 

Observing Susan in a state of unease, Penelope grew excited. “As the younger generation, you can’t just claim to be filial. Filial piety should be demonstrated through actions. Since your wine is so valuable, why not bring it out and share it with us?” 

“No!” Susan panicked. 

How could the wine be shared? 

“Why not?” Penelope was unhappy. “Are you stingy?” 

Susan forced herself to calm down and said, “Grandpa’s health isn’t suitable for drinking!” 

Charlie glanced at Penelope. “I haven’t had a drink in many years. Why are you bringing it up?”
