Finley began to cry and scream at the top of her lungs, making for a miserable sight.
“Now that you're all grown up, you have the cheek to bully an old lady like me. It's fine if you don't acknowledge me as your grandma, but is it necessary to humiliate me this way?”
Arissa watched Finley putting on an act with an icy expression.
“My mom is unlucky to have met your useless son. Not only did you steal her assets, but you also caused her death.”
“That is nothing but lies! My son isn't responsible for her death. Your mom died of disease due to how despicable she is. In fact...”
Finley's gaze grew cold. “It's you who jinxed her to her death!”
Clenching her fist, Arissa retorted furiously, “If I'm a jinx, why are you still alive?”
“You b*tch!”
A vicious glint flashed in Finley's eye as she swung her hand in Arissa's direction.
Suddenly, another hand appeared and grabbed Finley's hand.
“Who is it?”
Just as Finley turned her head, her eyes met with a piercing gaze, sending a chill down her spine.
Benjamin threw her hand aside.
Obviously, Finley's strength was no match for a man. After staggering a few steps back, she ended up crashing onto the ground.
“Are you all right?”
Benjamin pulled Arissa into his arms to protect her.
Shocked at his sudden appearance, Arissa stared blankly at him and shook her head. “I'm fine. Why did you come?”
Benjamin stared at her. “If I hadn't, wouldn't you be hit for nothing?”
Arissa felt her heart warm.
“Oh my! After painstakingly raising you, Arissa, is this how you treat your own grandma? How can you be so ungrateful to get a brute to hit your elderly?”
Finley began crying and screaming on the ground.
Morgan ran up to her. “Finley, are you all right?”
Finley held onto her leg as she cried, “Both of them bullied me and even hit me. I'm sure my bone is broken.”
Narrowing his gaze, Benjamin was filled with murderous intent.
After giving his bodyguards a look, they knowingly approached Finley and gave her a few slaps.
She was consequently smacked into a daze with blood oozing out the corner of her lips and her face swollen all over. In fact, she even lost a few teeth from the impact.
Terrified, Morgan began to shriek, “Help! Help!”
“Shut up!” the bodyguard threatened, causing Morgan to gape in fear. All she could do was watch her sister being beaten up in silence.
Even Arissa was taken aback at how brutal Benjamin was.
The crowd was equally shocked by the scene.
Holding Arissa in his arms, Benjamin fumed angrily, “You deserve a beating to cleanse that filthy mouth of yours!”
“Y-You... You despicable couple. How dare you get someone to strike me? I'll never let you go for this... Ah!”
Finley had never been beaten in her life. When she couldn't resist scolding Benjamin and Arissa, the bodyguard gave her another slap, causing her to scream in agony.
Benjamin's expression was terrifyingly gloomy. “If she dares to continue ranting, beat her until she shuts up!”
“Yes, Mr. Graham!”
Standing in front of Finley, the bodyguard gave her an expressionless stare.
When her eyes met with Benjamin's murderous gaze, Finley finally realized that he wasn't someone to be trifled with.
This da*n girl! When did she get to know such a fearsome man? No wonder she dares to disrespect me.
Despite cursing in her mind, Finley didn't dare utter a sound.
“Have you gotten what you came for?”
Benjamin lowered his gaze at her. Even though his tone was still frosty, there was a tinge of warmth to it still.
Arissa nodded. “I have.”
“In that case, let's go.” Benjamin left while wrapping her in his arms.
“Arissa, you're not allowed to go. Are you going to leave your own grandma here just like that? Also, you haven't paid for your granduncle's clothes.”
Finley was so shameless that she called out to Arissa when she remembered the clothes.
