Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth novel Chapter 47

"I know that, but this matter will not subside if we continue to do nothing. It may only get worse as more people hear of it. Benson, you know that family scandals shouldn't be aired in public..."

Pauline's words struck Benson's sore spot.

After all, Benson cared about his reputation the most.

Originally, this matter was only known to the friends and relatives of both the Evans and Morel families.

But if nothing was done about it, it would only get worse. By then, the reputation of the Evans family would be...

Seeing that Benson was wavering, Pauline said, "Why don't we just let Gretchen and Martin date for a while? The Morels don't seem to have any objections to their relationship, and I'm sure that people will forget about the matter between Martin and Gwenda soon enough. No one would say anything about it. Besides, this wouldn't hurt our relationship with the Morels."

"Fine, fine, you can do whatever you want."

Benson finally gave in.

Pauline's eyes gleamed with triumph as she smiled.

"By the way, how's everything with... Gwenda?" A hint of hurt slipped into Pauline's tone at that. "I've tried contacting her several times, but it seems that she has blocked me."

"This useless child!"

Benson's anger, as Pauline expected, flared up again. He slammed the cup of tea onto the table.

The gleam of triumph made a reappearance in Pauline's eyes as she continued with her act of being a good wife. "She's just a child, Benson. If you're still concerned about her, I'll go visit someday."

"Forget it!" Benson snarled, the slightest mention of his daughter irritating him. "If she wants to live on her own, she's free to do that. It'll be better if she never comes back!"

Pauline rolled her eyes in exasperated annoyance because she knew that Benson did not mean what he said.

He would never allow his daughter to live on her own for fear of bringing forth gossip that would ruin his so-called family reputation.

Thinking of this, Pauline's eyes flashed as she came up with another idea. Pretending to be angry, she said, "Fine, then. If you don't want to find Gwenda, I will. I would never let a child like her live on her own out there with no support!"

With that, she turned and left in anger.

Benson glanced at her but did not stop her.

...

The next day, Gwenda did not wake until it late in the morning.
