"They said that I'm lucky that I raised a beautiful and capable daughter."
As Benson spoke, he snorted and said, "Ha, isn't this ridiculous? If I didn't know the truth, I would think that they were mocking me!"
"Is that so?"
Pauline frowned tightly, and there was a cold light in her eyes. "This is a good thing. As a father, you should be happy."
"Happy? What should I be happy about?"
Benson opened his eyes and sat up angrily. "Don't you know what kind of person Gwenda is? Luck? What luck?"
"Hey, calm down. Why do you get so pissed when talking about Gwenda?"
Pauline began to put on a hypocritical mask again.
Benson glared at her and took a deep breath. "It's not that I want to be angry, but that child is really troublesome."
"Isn't it okay like this? My friends praised Gwenda today, saying that she saved the young master of the Kinney family and acted bravely. Mrs. Kinney also likes her."
Hearing this, Benson snorted. "Ha, as her father, I was never respected by her at all. Why is she a totally different person in front of the Kinney family? In my opinion, that wicked girl is definitely interested in the power of that family!"
"You can't say that. What if she just gets along with Mrs. Kinney?"
"That's enough! Why do you always speak for her? You are her stepmother! She has never respected you. Why do you protect her like this?"
For some reason, Benson felt irritated.
At this time, Pauline lowered her head in grievance, and her eyes looked red. "What else can I do? Hurt her? You know that as a stepmother, people will gossip about me if I don't do well.
Just today, I just casually brought up the fact that you quarreled with Gwenda at the Reed family's place. But as a result, my friends all thought that I couldn't tolerate Gwenda's presence... Why don't you think for my sake..."
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and choked with sobs.
Seeing this, Benson realized that he had done something wrong. He reached out to hug her and comforted her softly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. You've been doing a good job. It's a blessing for me to have married you!"
"Cut the crap!"
Pauline pushed him away, pretending to be angry.
