Chapter 93
“She just wants to stay for a few days, Ben. Why do you quibble over such trivia?” Penelope couldn’t help but say.
“I won’t stay, Mrs. Landor.” Isabella stood up and said softly, “Sorry for rudely infuriating Mr. Landor and his wife today. I’m taking my leave first. I’ll drop by to make amends another
day.”
With that, Isabella bowed before she turned around to leave.
“Isabella!” Leo called out as he chased after her anxiously.
“Dad, Ben was mean. It’s rare for Leo to bring a guest, yet Ben…” Penelope subconsciously complained.
After a glance at her, Charlie only said indifferently, “I’m tired. I’ll go to bed first.”
Seeing Charlie slowly rise to his feet, Susan quickly reached out to help him up.
Charlie patted the back of Susan’s hand and said in a close tone, “Accompany me to my room, Susan.’
“Not a problem.” Susan agreed with a smile.
Then, Charlie and Susan left together, chatting and laughing.
Penelope was stunned.
She pondered, “It seems impossible to count on Charlie to help me and Leo.
Charlie is so partial to Ben!”
Leo hurriedly caught up with Isabella. He grabbed her and said with a little nervous look, “Isabella, I’ve told you that my brother is volatile by temperament. Please don’t take how he did to you to heart.”
Isabella shook off Leo’s hand without appreciation for his care and snapped, “Volatile? What do you know? He is the best man in the world.”

Leo was shocked.
He couldn’t believe Isabella was still calling Ben the best man in the world after she had just been humiliated by Ben.
He had no idea why Isabella was so obsessed with Ben.
“Your brother probably doesn’t like naive girls,” Isabella pondered for a while and continued, “Next time, I’m going to show him my ability. He’ll surely appreciate me when he sees how capable I am.”
Leo pulled out a smile and said, “Ben is not a pushover who is easy to please. Besides, he already has a wife. If… if you need a boyfriend, can you consider being with me?”
Leo stammered to recommend himself.
Isabella not only had good looks and a good family background but was also capable.
Therefore, Leo was overjoyed when Isabella took the initiative to get close to him.
Later on, when Leo found out that Isabella approached him for the sake of her admiration for Ben, he couldn’t feel happy anymore.
However, since the beautiful girl Leo had a crush on had made a request, he had no choice but to bring Isabella to see Ben.
Leo had thought that Isabella would give up because Ben had treated her so unfairly, but unexpectedly, she became even more fanatical.
“You?” Isabella shot a disdainful glance at Leo and said, “How can you ever be compared
to Ben? Stop joking.”
With that, she left directly.
Leo was left behind, his face full of resentment.
He vigorously clenched his fists as he spoke to himself inwardly, “How could she say that I’m inferior to Ben Landor?
Ben Landor wouldn’t have been to where he is now without the company and connections

If I were the one who inherited all this, I could have made such achievements as well!”
Isabella’s scornful look irritated Leo.
Leo thought to himself resentfully, “Everyone thinks that I’m inferior to Ben Landor.
I’ll prove to them that Ben Landor can’t even hold a candle to me.”
Isabella found a hotel to stay in..
After settling down, she sat in front of the computer, lost in thought.
“I seemed to have made a mistake.
“It’s so stupid of me to have hoped to get close to Ben Landor through Leo Landor.
In my memory of my previous incarnation, I knew that there was no love lost between Leo
Landor and Ben Landor.
Although the idiot Leo was too incompetent to deter Ben in the slightest, the two of them were indeed sworn enemies.
It’s only normal for Ben to be wary of me when I got to know him through Leo’s
introduction.
I’ve taken the extremely wrong step.”
Isabella was a little frustrated but was not flustered, for she thought it was still not too late to make up for this mistake.
Looking at all kinds of information about Ben on the computer, Isabella’s gaze blurred.
She hadn’t expected to have such a curious case.
Originally, she was already dead.
When she woke up again, however, she found she had returned to her youth!
She was ecstatic.

She had to admit that she had lived a good life in her previous carnation as the daughter of the Smith Family.
Her father had chosen a suitable husband for her.
She and her husband didn’t have much affection for each other. Each of them kept a lot of lovers and lived an indulgent life.
Isabella had originally thought that it was not bad to live this way for the rest of her life.
However, one day at an important conference, she saw Ben and Susan hand–in–hand and full of smiles when they looked at each other with infinite tenderness.
Ben was too handsome to keep everyone’s attention away from him, but he had eyes only for Susan without even sparing a glance at anyone else from beginning to end.
Isabella involuntarily searched for information about Ben.
She then knew Ben was the wealthiest man in the world.
In addition to his astonishing wealth, he was renowned for his unconditional love for his
wife Susan Miller.
Susan came from an ordinary family and wasn’t favored by her parents. However, because of Ben’s love for her, she became the envy of the world.
Isabella’s heart suddenly overflowed with jealousy.
Rich and powerful men would always have lovers in spite of their dutiful wives.
Though Ben was the most powerful man in the world, he had been wholeheartedly devoted to Susan ever since he married her and had never been close to any woman other
than her.
Isabella couldn’t help but yearn for such a perfect man.
She wished she was the one Ben doted on.
To begin with, it was just a vague thought, but as she kept paying attention to the news of Ben and Susan, this thought ran wild.
