The More the Merrier novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15 Benjamin Was Infuriated

Jasper was trembling in fear, and his response drew Edwin’s sympathy. The latter said in a low voice, “Ms. Adams, you’ve frightened Gavin!”

“Edwin, look at him! It has only been a few days, but he’s already acting out of line now. He even learned how to tell lies! I must teach him a lesson today!” Danna could no longer keep her composure. She reached out her hands, wanting to pull Jasper over.

Jasper grabbed Edwin’s thigh tightly and glared at her. “Do you dare say that you didn’t try to hurt me?”

A look of guiltiness flashed across Danna’s eyes, but she soon managed to keep her cool before chiding with a straight face, “You’re lying! Your daddy will be so disappointed to find out that you’re telling lies!”

Jasper was about to explode with rage. He rolled his sleeve up before stretching out his hand. “Mr. Whitley, she really had the intention!”

When Jasper had tried to free himself from Danna’s grip before, a mark was left.

Convinced by Jasper’s allegation, Edwin’s face fell as he stared at Danna. “Ms. Adams, I’ll have to call Mr. Graham!”

Edwin was burning in fury because he could not believe Danna would try to do that to a child even when he was around.

The Grahams will never allow anyone to lay their hands on their family members. Hence, she’s in no position to punish Gavin even though she’s his mother.

Although Benjamin was not someone expressive in his feelings, he cared a lot about Gavin.

“Edwin, don’t! I didn’t try to hurt him! Gavin, how could you play such a dirty trick! Once your daddy’s back, I’ll make sure that he educates you well!”

Danna was guilty of her doings. How would I expect him to fight back? It’s better if I push all the blames on him!

“What a hypocrite! You were trying to hurt me just a while ago! Mr. Whitley, why is she such a vicious woman? I want Daddy! I want Daddy!” Jasper started crying aggrievedly again. Besides, he was also taking the chance to see if Benjamin truly cared about him. If Daddy sides with this bad woman, we’ll leave him behind!

Edwin’s heart ached to see Jasper cry, so he carried the poor boy in his arms. “Gavin, don’t cry. I’m here, and I’ll call your daddy back home now!”

Danna was terrified as soon as she heard that Benjamin would be coming home. If Benjamin knows about what I tried to do to Gavin, it will definitely affect our relationship. He has already warned me after I got rid of this brat’s cotton candy yesterday.

“Edwin, Benjamin’s still at work. I don’t think we should bother him because of such a trivial matter.”

Angered by Danna’s action, Edwin brushed her off in a stern manner, “Ms. Adams, I think it’s better if you can talk to Mr. Graham personally regarding this matter!”

We’ve been doing our best to keep Gavin safe from injuries. How could she try to do that? If she dares to do so even when I am present, she’d probably go overboard when we’re not around! Come to think about it, Gavin has been behaving strangely whenever she’s here! I bet this wasn’t her first attempt! Edwin’s heart sank after fathoming the situation.

The butler called Benjamin right away. The latter instantly rushed back home upon hearing the news.

At that point, Danna was fully aware that it would make the allegation stick if she were to leave. She sat on the couch in the living room nervously.

If Benjamin still cares about me, he’ll probably let this slide. I’m Gavin’s mom, after all.

Meanwhile, Jasper was still crying.

Danna stealthily shot him a death glare.

He has been keeping everything to himself previously. Why is he going against me today? In fact, he actually started doing this yesterday. That’s such a drastic change!

Danna narrowed her eyes as she thought of bumping into Arissa at Graham Group.

Did Arissa happen to meet this bastard child?

Astounded by that possibility, Danna was torn between anger and trepidation.

Has Benjamin already met Arissa before this? It’s time for me to figure out a way to get rid of her forever!

The evil look in Danna’s gaze grew intense as she plotted against Arissa deep inside.
