Chapter 7 How come it’s you?
Cecilia Glendon’s hand hurt from his grip, as if it was about to be broken, but she didn’t dare to cry out in pain, at least not in front of this man with his icy flame.
“I didn’t say that.” She said without aggravation, “You said so yourself.”
“Not even in your mind!” Abbott Benson said brutally, “or your heart will be ripped out!”
When the Benson Master is angry, Greenwich has to shake three times, so Cecilia Glendon does not doubt the truth of Abbott Benson’s statement.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Then I’ll sleep on the couch …” Cecilia Glendon said pitifully, “The couch is always okay, right?”
“No!” He said.
Cecilia Glendon silent, biting her lip, only to take the surprisingly large eyes fixed on him, which is written full of aggression.
Abbott Benson: “No other woman has ever been here, and you’re the first.”
“Liar, no other woman came, then where did I pass that female pajamas before? Could it be that you have a special hobby?” Her eyes were all accusatory.
Abbott Benson suppressed the anger in his heart: “My sister’s.”
“Your sister?” Cecilia Glendon frowned.
“That woman in the hotel elevator the other day, that’s my sister.” Abbott Benson said.
His sister, Helen Benson, was in college in another city, and they hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Helen Benson had come back to visit him, but he had business to attend to that day and couldn’t accompany her, so he just sent her to the hotel room and left.
Cecilia Glendon thought back to the woman in the elevator that day, but couldn’t remember what she looked like: “So your sister is also a woman, and you just said I was the first.”
Abbott Benson glanced at her: “Helen Benson is a man with long hair in my eyes, why? You have a problem with that?”
Cecilia Glendon burst out laughing: “That’s your own sister, does she know you’re talking about her like that?”
Abbott Benson grunted lightly, picked up Cecilia Glendon and walked upstairs: “You stink, go take a shower before you come out.”
Cecilia Glendon is not a short person, but with Abbott Benson’s collar, she couldn’t even touch the ground with her toes: “You’re strangling me to death, you know that?”
He naturally ignored her, and when he returned to his room, he threw her into the bathroom along with the nightgown she was wearing: “Don’t come out until you’re clean.” Then the door slammed shut.
Cecilia Glendon looked at the door confused for a moment, before rolling her eyes and turning around to take a shower.
…
The next morning Cecilia Glendon woke up and opened her eyes to see this strange room she was confused as usual before she remembered she was now in Abbott Benson’s house.
And Abbott Benson …
She turned her head to look around her.
Abbott Benson was still sleeping soundly, one hand on her waist, asleep, he shed his sharp thorns and looked much more amiable.
Cecilia Glendon gently tried to move his hand away from her body, but just as she touched Abbott Benson’s hand, the man who was sleeping suddenly opened his eyes, and his dark eyes were filled with cold ice, and he grabbed Cecilia Glendon’s hand and snapped it behind her back, and pushed her into the pillow with his backhand.
Cecilia Glendon screamed out in pain, Abbott Benson then reacted.
“How is it you?” He let go of her wrist, his tone a little bad.
Cecilia Glendon was so frightened, and hearing Abbott Benson speak in such a tone of voice, she was immediately angry, she rubbed her wrist which was painful to hold and sat up, looked at him mockingly and said: “So the Benson Master is the one who disowns people with his pants down.”
Abbott Benson tried to explain, but frowned and said nothing.
“Aren’t you going over there? Get up, I’ll walk you.” He rolled out of bed.
“Don’t bother.” With a smile on her face but a cold one, Cecilia Glendon took her clothes and went into the bathroom to change.
When she came out again, there was no sign of Abbott Benson in the room. Cecilia Glendon folded the nightgown she had worn and put it neatly on the bed, then turned around and walked out.
Abbott Benson probably left, Cecilia Glendon did not see him when she went downstairs, and she did not care, she just closed the door and went down.
The inexplicable anger in her heart had long since disappeared, and she couldn’t say why she was angry, probably because she felt she was being treated like one of Abbott Benson’s many bedfellows.
She thought she was different to Abbott Benson when he brought herself here, after all, the word ‘first’ came out of his mouth.
But now …
She shook her head and laughed to herself, she was a married woman, what was the point of thinking so much.
After last night, the two of them won’t have anything more to do with each other.
After taking a deep breath, Cecilia Glendon took a taxi back to the Biting neighborhood.
When the car stopped she saw from afar that Debby White had arrived.
“Come on in, I asked someone, Oswin Garcia and Crystal Taylor didn’t come back last night.” Debby White saw her and greeted her.
“It’s better if they didn’t come back.” Cecilia Glendon said lightly.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?” Debby White saw that she didn’t look too good.
“Nothing.”
“And the injury? Is it better?”
“Almost.” Cecilia Glendon hadn’t paid much attention to her injuries; she was too preoccupied with getting evidence of Oswin Garcia’s domestic abuse and cheating.
“I’m worried you won’t make it to court after the beating you took from Oswin Garcia and the drugs you were given.”
“I’m not that weak.” Cecilia Glendon hooked her lips, “I’m not only going to go to court, I’m going to watch that couple die!”
Debby White patted her on the shoulder, “That’s my Debby White BFF.”
The two didn’t say another word and took the elevator straight upstairs.
Cecilia Glendon had put her own key in Debby White’s place earlier, and after using it to open the door, the inside remained the same as when she left.
Oswin Garcia leg was broken by Abbott Benson, must still be in the hospital, in contrast, Cecilia Glendon life force has been released from the hospital.
“Why don’t you sit down for a while and I’ll go get the video for you.” Debby White saw that Cecilia Glendon’s face was not good, and helped her to sit on the sofa.
Cecilia Glendon didn’t make it easy on Debby White either, she really didn’t have much strength right now.
After sitting in the living room, Cecilia Glendon raised her eyes to survey the home that she had once put up with Oswin Garcia’s relatives, and her heart was slightly sour and bitter.
When she married Oswin Garcia, she was not confident that she would spend a hundred years with him, but now she was not expecting to end up like this.
When the case goes to court, the Brown will know about it immediately … plus the theft of her studio manuscript …
Cecilia Glendon’s head is spinning just thinking about it.
She had to swallow the consequences of these two events.
“What’s wrong with just staying in the hospital and having to come back?”
“Cecilia Glendon, that woman is too smart, you do not know her, she was so calm about the two of us that day, must already know, she knows it will not stop, have to see if she has installed cameras in the house.”
These two voices suddenly sounded outside the door, Cecilia Glendon’s heart trembled slightly.
