Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 56

“Don't play stupid. You're only fooling yourself.”

Kim looked at Hanna who looked so weak and innocent. Her gentle eyes were pure and clear.

However, she might be able to deceive most men with that, but Kim could easily see her through.

It took a woman to know another one. Kim knew Hanna wasn't the woman she appeared to be.

Kim had known that since the first time they met.

Now it turned out to be as what she expected.

Hanna looked so confused. She asked Kim, “Miss. Moe, what are you talking about? What did I miss? What do you mean by 'fooling myself'?”

“You told Claudia that you could help her save the old house, and then you encouraged her to ask Ben for money. You knew that their relationship would only get worse as long as you're here, and there's no way that Ben would give Claudia that much money!”

Kim hadn't been through what had happened today, but she had logical thinking. She could speculate most of it.

“That means you're using the auction and your loss to trap Claudia! You're playing the martyr to fraud Ben!”

She said as she looked at Ben. She smiled with mockery and irony, continuing, “As for Ben, how would he let his beloved ex lose one billion? He would reward you two or more billion for that! You knew he would do that, and that was why you dared give your company away so decisively. Am I right?”

“...”

Hanna fell in silence. She feared to argue with Kim because Kim was too eloquent.

Kim had the situation under her control. She looked so aggressive and was eager to stand up for Claudia.

She checked Hanna from head to toe. Hanna had a sophisticated aura, but she wasn't as beautiful as Claudia. The only thing Hanna had while Claudia didn't was that the ability to speak for herself.

Kim felt a bit sorry for Claudia when thinking of that. She tried not to be emotional and continued, “Well played, Hanna. I'm so impressed.”

Suddenly, Ben, who had been silent, asked with his cold voice, “Are you done?”

Kim looked at him and said, “I know you just can't wait to stand up for her. Shame on you!”

She wanted to say more, but she stopped when he realized Claudia was still in love with him. The silly girl had loved this man for over ten years and done everything for him without letting him know.

Kim suddenly realized Claudia's love was blind. The man was handsome, but above that, there was nothing in him that deserved Claudia's deep love.

Kim felt this was so unfair. She thought Claudia deserved better.

“Forget it, I don't wanna talk to you anymore... it's meaningless! Ben, you'll regret this!”

Kim cast a disdainful look at Hanna. Then she snorted and left.

Ben didn't stop her. He watched her driving away, and then held Hanna in his strong arms. He whispered to her gently, “She misunderstood you. Just forget about this.”

Hanna raised her head and forced a smile. She replied, “It's fine. She was standing for Claudia. Why would I blame her?”

She mumbled it slowly and calmly, while for Ben, those words felt like a blunt knife rubbing against his heart.

Hanna was always so kind to him. She always put other people first and wasn't afraid of being misunderstood. Ben swore he would never let this 'silly' woman down.

Kim passed by a grocery store when she went back. She bought some food and fruit so that she could make an excuse about why she was out.

But no matter what she said, Claudia knew Kim must have gone to the Crawford Family and argued for her.
