Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 457

“When such negative news was reported, business would definitely be affected, but it was not a big deal. You don’t understand old Mrs. Smith’s skills. Don’t think that when she talks to you gently, she is treating you as her own family. She is very tactful and plays her game well. If it weren’t for her getting older and lacking motivation, the Smith family would definitely not be in its current position. Come, let’s go shopping and have a breath of fresh air.”

“No, thanks, I’m not going. You can get Zach to go with you.” I turned Sabrina down and got a scolding from her for being a spoilsport but I did not take it to heart.

I was not being a spoilsport but I just could not cheer myself up. I was not sure why but it could be that my dad bowed to somebody. Men should be strong and not easily bowed to beg anyone but Dad did that for Crystal.

On TV, I saw a lot of news about Crystal, as expected. Stories about her were getting viral all over Avenport. Those newspapers and dailies were flooding the streets like snowflakes.

Of course, I was being overlooked. Crystal was being recognized by Avenport as the most well-known drama queen with a charming exterior, but no inner beauty to match.

Suddenly the doorbell rang. Thinking it was Christopher, I turned off the TV and walked over to the door. Christopher would always call me and tell me that he had to go somewhere to work. But, when I opened the door, I would find him standing right in front of me, smiling and handing me a bunch of roses saying that he wanted to give me a surprise. I was used to it.

This time the surprise was different. Standing outside the door was Benjamin, and his eyes were bloodshot. Obviously, he had not slept. There were bruises on his face which must have been the result of fighting with Benson.

Seeing him, I was surprised and wary. My hand reached for the door with the intention of closing it. The traps he set for me were still vivid in my mind. The most horrifying was when he ganged up with Crystal, spiked my drink and then put me in bed with a man while getting a crowd to witness and photograph me in the act of adultery.

“Wait, Yvonne, I have something to tell you.” Benjamin stuck his foot in the door and said urgently.
