Benjamin’s eyes narrowed, and his gaze became piercing. “What did you just say to me?”

Arissa froze. I only said, “Sorry to trouble you.” What’s wrong with that?

His expression turned grim, and anger surged within him when he saw her distancing herself from him. He growled in a low voice, “The children’s affairs concern me too, so why did you say that?”

“I misspoke!” Taking back her phone, she lowered her head and scrolled through the nasty remarks, feeling upset. She even posted a few replies refuting the angry comments.

Benjamin’s eyes flashed. He wanted to say something to her, but he noticed her angling her body away from him. Hence, he took out his phone and began tapping away on it.

Before Arissa even had time to post the surveillance footage, she noticed that the tides had turned. It was only after refreshing the page that she realized someone had leaked the footage of the other children mocking her kids.

However, that was not the only video. Even the clip of the parents at the school bullying Arissa’s children had also been revealed. Except for the blurred-out faces of her children, those of the parents and their children were clear for all to see.

Hence, the actual perpetrator and victim of the situation were evident at a glance. Those who got all riled up immediately turned on the parents and their children, lambasting them even more harshly than how they had berated the principal and Arissa’s kids.

She turned back toward Benjamin and met his dark gaze. The corners of her mouth twitched, but in the end, she did not say anything.

These are all things he should do. I don’t need to thank him.

Hence, she looked away and continued monitoring the situation online.

His handsome face turned as black as thunder at her cold attitude toward him, and the tension in the air became even more palpable.

Suddenly, Arissa said to Ethen, “Mr. Frank, please stop the car there. I want to get out.”

Ethen’s gaze flitted to the rearview mirror. Noticing Benjamin’s darkening expression, he swallowed hard.

“We’re almost at the office. Why don’t you get down there?”

“That’s all right. I feel like walking.”

The oppressive atmosphere inside the car is a little too much for me to bear.

“Stop the car for her,” Benjamin thundered.

Left with no choice, Ethen could only pull over at the side of the road.

Arissa grabbed her bag, opened the car door, and climbed out of the car.

As soon as she closed the door, Benjamin told Ethen to drive off.
