Kenneth was the grandson of Finley's elder brother.
However, he did not love Arissa like a sibling. Instead, he had disgusting ulterior motives.
When Kenneth saw her ignoring him, he glanced around. Upon noticing the six kids and a man wearing a pair of sunglasses, he was stunned.
“Arissa, who is this man? Is he your boyfriend?”
Kenneth stared at Benjamin disdainfully like a hooligan. “Even if your dad sold you, you can't just find a man so casually, right? He's even blind. Why don't you and I...”
Kenneth started getting touchy. Just when he was about to place his hand on Arissa's shoulder, he withdrew his arm in shock.
A skewer had pierced right through his palm, causing blood to splatter all over.
“Argh!” Kenneth howled in pain as he clutched his hand.
Meanwhile, Arissa was shocked as she glanced at Benjamin. Did he do it?
His expression was frosty.
Furious, Kenneth bellowed, “Which b*stard...”
Benjamin tilted his head slightly with a gloomy expression.
Immediately, the bodyguards sitting at the other table moved. They grabbed Kenneth's collar and swung a punch at him.
The bodyguards beat him up before warning, “Be more respectful toward Mr. Graham and Ms. York!”
Kenneth curled into a ball on the floor. With his entire face swollen, he glared at Arissa furiously.
“Arissa, why didn't you stop them? You even asked them to beat me up!”
Shooting him a glance, Arissa smirked coldly. “Didn't you deserve the beating? It's all your fault for being so dense. Don't seek trouble with me anymore!”
When Kenneth met Arissa's stern and hostile gaze, he was stunned. A chill ran down his spine.
Smiling appeasingly, he nodded and said, “Okay, okay!”
“Get lost!” bellowed Arissa solemnly.
Kenneth quickly scrambled to his feet and scampered away. Looking at him escaping so pathetically, Arissa smiled mockingly.
She had already wanted to teach that hooligan a lesson. However, as she did not want to scare the kids, she held herself back.
To her surprise, Benjamin acted before she did, helping her vent her anger. Even she was surprised at how swift his actions were.
If the skewer had not flown past her eyes, she would have thought that the bodyguards did it.
“Who's that man?” Benjamin's expression was extremely grim.
Arissa could not hide it anymore. “He's the great-nephew of the two old women you saw in the shopping mall. He's their brother's great-grandson.”
Benjamin frowned. How dare he still act like a hooligan? He's either a douchebag or a pervert.
“Does he treat you like that all the time?”
When Arissa noticed his frosty look, she shook her head. “We rarely meet. I know that he's a douchebag, so I always avoid him.”
She remembered that her first time meeting Kenneth was in middle school, when Regan held a banquet after marrying Heather.
The moment Kenneth met her, he kept flirting with her. After finding out that they were relatives, he even tried to take advantage of her.
When she told Finley about it, she even got scolded for being shameless and seducing her own cousin Kenneth.
Even her father, Regan, sided with Finley and defended that douchebag.
Unable to find anyone to stand up for her, Arissa was filled with disappointment.
When she went to high school, she chose the school that was the furthest away from home. All she wanted to do was to be as far away as possible, so she could avoid going home.
When Benjamin heard her call Kenneth a douchebag and heard how disgusted she was, he nodded.
“If you meet someone like him in the future, just attack him directly!”
For some reason, Arissa was mesmerized by Benjamin's crude and violent methods.
Some scums will only be afraid of messing with you if you respond to them with violence. If they're vicious, you have to be even more vicious than them. Otherwise, they'll still come seeking trouble with you.
“Continue eating!” Benjamin patted her head before brushing the non-existent dust away from her shoulders.
Arissa glanced at him.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped her shoulders gently. Then, he threw it into the rubbish bin directly.
She was stunned. Is Benjamin disgusted by how Kenneth almost touched me?
The sleeves exposed part of her shoulders, so she looked a bit sexy.
“Done!” Benjamin was only satisfied after adjusting her shirt.
