Chapter 17 

A mere couple of million and a trinketEveryone fell silent after hearing Ben’s words

Yana felt overwhelmed by Ben’s imposing presence

She couldn’t understand why Ben had suddenly appeared and was speaking up for Susan

Could it be that Susan had truly tamed this tyrant? That couldn’t be possible

Yana’s thoughts were in disarray

Timothy pulled her behind him and looked directly at Ben. Yana means no harm; she’s just concerned about Susan.” 

You’re on a firstname basis with my wife now?Ben sneered. And you call this no harm? Then what would you call harmful, Timothy? If you find such a woman appealing, maybe you should get your eyes checked!” 

TimothyYana started to cry, aggrieved

Timothy hugged Yana pitifully and then turned to Ben, saying, Mr. Landor, as a grown man, is it really appropriate for you to intimidate a defenseless woman like this?” 

Ben couldn’t help but laugh at what he found amusing. When all of you were ganging up on my wife, did you find it inappropriate then, huh?” 

Timothy frowned and looked at Susan. Susan, Ben doesn’t know, but you know exactly that Yana has always been thoughtless in her words.” 

Thoughtless

Susan looked at Timothy calmly, as if she was staring at a complete stranger

Her expression made Timothy’s heart skip a beat

Ignoring Timothy, Susan took Ben’s hand and looked at him with rare tenderness. Thank you.” 

What was there to thank for

Ben felt a bit awkward and intentionally lowered his tone Well I just don’t want to see you embarrassing me in public

Alright, I won’t from now on,” Susan replied, smiling at him

Ben was at a loss for words

He knew she would just laugh it off

Ben became more and more uncomfortable

I don’t like it here. Let’s go,Susan then said

Ben glanced at Yana, who seemed downcast, and raised an eyebrow. We don’t often come to events. like this. Why rush to leave? Besides, you need a few pieces of jewelry.” 

Ben calmly pulled Susan back to her seat

Yang was so ashamed after being scolded by Ben, but she was also a little reluctant to leave directly

In the past two months, this was the only upscale jewelry auction they had attended. If she left now, she might have to settle for some ordinary jewelry

No, she couldn’t accept that

With determination, Yana gritted her teeth and returned to her original seat

She could let Susan have the crown; there were better treasures to be found later, anyway

The crown was respectfully handed to Susan by the auction staff

Yana glanced at it, her heart aching, but she had to pretend that she didn’t care at all

Perhaps because of Ben’s presence, the pace of the auction seemed to inexplicably quicken

After several pieces of jewelry were sold, Yana spotted a necklace she liked

She was about to ask Timothy to bid on it

Two million dollars,Ben said indifferently

Okay, the necklace will be delivered to you immediately, Mr. Landor,the auctioneer declared without waiting for other bids

Timothy’s expression darkened. Wait a moment. Others haven’t had a chance to bid yet!” 

However, the auction staff simply ignored him, and the necklace was respectfully handed to Ben

Ben cast a casual glance at Timothy, not uttering a word, but it felt as though he had said. everything

Timothy instantly became furious

He had grown accustomed to receiving praise as a business prodigy, but today, reality had humbled

The subsequent jewelry items, especially the valuable ones, were all effortlessly claimed by Ben

Whenever he made a bid, no one dared to compete with him, and the auction staff eagerly brought the items to him

Since Ben’s offers were fair, the auction house didn’t feel any loss

In fact, they saw it as an opportunity to establish a connection with the Landor family and considered it a great profit

The auction ended in a weird atmosphere

It wasn’t until Ben and Susan left that the atmosphere gradually livened up

Wow, who would have thought Ben would show up at an event like this?” 

I just did the math; he practically bought out the entire auction. He spent a total of 26 million!” 

That’s some serious splurging

Didn’t they say Ben was ruthless and pushed his exwife into the sea?” 

Rumors are just rumors. Despite his rough exterior, he seems quite nice to Susan.” 

He sure knows how to spend money. I wish I had married him!” 

Even with all that money, I don’t know if I could handle that intimidating face” 

Yeah, you’ve got a point” 

Although Ben still had a blemished reputation due to his facial injury, public perception of him had subtly shifted

Yana listened, and it drove her almost crazy

Why? Why did Susan, instead of being tormented, seem to be cherished by Ben? Wasn’t he supposed to be a tyrant and a ruthless brute? Why did he suddenly change his image?she cursed inwardly
