Chapter 53 Escape
The moment she heard the knock, the phone slipped from Cecilia Glendon’s hand, fell to the floor, and bounced twice.
Who was the person knocking on the door outside, Cecilia Glendon didn’t know, but she seemed to be able to guess …
Cecilia Glendon’s mind was suddenly a little overwhelmed, if the person outside was Abbott Benson, what was she going to do?
And what if it wasn’t?
Just when Cecilia Glendon was stiff and didn’t know whether to open the door or pretend not to hear, the door once again sounded three snaps.
Cecilia Glendon swallowed hard, didn’t even pick up her phone, and headed straight for the foyer.
She grabbed the door handle and opened the door with a click.
The first thing she touched was the familiar dress that she knew so well because it was a finished product that she had altered countless times on paper.
“Hello.” The man standing in front of her spoke softly, “I’m hungry, do you have food?”
Cecilia Glendon didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she raised her eyes and Abbott Benson’s face became a little blurry before her eyes.
“What brings you here?” Cecilia Glendon pulled a smile up at him, “Weren’t you at the engagement?”
“Hungry.” Abbott Benson still repeats the phrase, “Got a meal?”
Cecilia Glendon knew she couldn’t ask anything else, so she had to sidle up and let him in.
“I just ate, and there’s some left over, if you don’t mind …”
“Don’t mind.” Abbott Benson headed straight for the living room, then made a trip to the couch, with the same tone of a grandfather.
Cecilia Glendon bristled and turned toward the kitchen, but the corners of her mouth somehow turned up slightly.
It was as if their previous unpleasantness had been forgotten by both of them.
As Cecilia Glendon went to the kitchen to cook, Abbott Benson received a phone call. He pulled his phone out and his face instantly changed when he saw the name displayed on it.
He glanced at Cecilia Glendon in the kitchen, then stood up and went out to the balcony and picked up the phone.
“Abbott Benson!”
As soon as he got through, there was a furious yell from Mr. Benson: “Get your ass back here!”
“Grandpa, don’t get angry.” Abbott Benson’s unconcerned tone, “Anger is not good for your health.”
“You don’t have to pretend to be here!” The Benson senior said angrily, “If you were really worried about my health, would you have repudiated the marriage in public? Don’t you know the status of the Benson family and the Hall family’s reputation in Greenwich? If this happens today, how will the Hall family hold their heads up in Greenwich in the future? How will you let Jamie marry again?”
Abbott Benson said indifferently, “I have already said that I don’t like her. It was you, Grandpa, who forced me with your executive powers.”
“Do you … know that if you do this today, you will never get the Benson’s execution rights?!”
“I know.” He replied, his voice clear and cold, “Whatever you want, I have no problem with giving the execution to Jack Benson, as long as he can take it away from me.”
“Sinner!” Benson shouted in anger, “You don’t even take my words into your ears anymore!”
“Sometime, I will go back to see you.” At this point, Abbott Benson paused, “And bring one more person.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
“Bring someone?” Elder Benson froze, “You want to bring that woman?!”
“I’ve already said I’m not marrying Jamie Hall,” Abbott Benson said.
Even if I were to marry, it would have to be someone I didn’t hate.
Jamie Hall, a woman who was too hypocritical and calculating, he did not like.
“Abbott Benson, I’m telling you, as long as I’m around, you won’t let that woman in the Benson house!”
Mr. Benson hung up the phone after he finished speaking, furious, but having to put on a smile and walk toward the Hall family sitting not far away.
After Abbott Benson disappeared from the engagement site, the guests slowly dispersed, leaving only the Benson family and the Hall family now.
“The Benson family is really sorry for Jamie, I have just called Abbott to scold him, I will let him come to the door tomorrow to thank him personally.” Benson senior said in a warm voice.
Jamie Hall’s eyes were slightly red, but still stubbornly did not fall into tears, heard the Benson senior words, but also kindly said: “Grandpa, you do not blame Abbott, I believe he must have some other reasons must leave.”
“You child …” Mrs. Hall wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief, her face full of heartache for Jamie Hall, “Even if there is something big, Abbott should also tell us ah, so many The guests, once this is out, how can you still marry someone else?”
Jamie Hall’s father Hall Qingze but cold face to Benson old man said: “Benson old, this matter Abbott must give Jamie an explanation, my Hall family daughter innocent with his marriage contract, now it is afraid that the Greenwich are going to poke my daughter’s backbone! ”
The Benson old man knows he is in the wrong, and is embarrassed to say anything because of his seniority: “It is natural.”
“Well, go home.” Mrs. Hall helped Jamie Hall to get up.
“Grandpa …” Jamie Hall wanted to say something but finally sighed, “Grandpa, you should not scold Abbott , he must have his own hardship.”
The Benson old man was thinking how to get Abbott Benson to honestly come back to marry Jamie Hall, suddenly heard her this sentence, the heart of her love and a few more points.
The Benson family’s future president’s wife is the one who understands things so well.
“You can go back and rest at ease, don’t worry about anything.” The Benson senior gently patted Jamie Hall’s shoulder.
Jamie Hall smiled faintly before following his parents out of the meeting.
At once, only Benson senior, Jack Benson, and Jack Benson’s father, Evans Benson, were left in the venue.
“Evans.” The look on Master Benson’s face dissipated, leaving only a touch of cold severity.
“Father.” Evans Benson said.
“Go and find out the identity of that woman.” Master Benson’s eyes held a stern look, “I want to see what kind of woman can seduce Abbott to give up the executive power of the Benson family!”
The Benson senior has high hopes for Abbott Benson, especially after the car accident of both Abbott Benson’s parents, but even more favorable to him, as long as his request the Benson senior has no obstruction, this time for his marriage with Jamie Hall originally intended to wait for the engagement ceremony after the executive power to him, but now it seems that It is not possible to hand it over!
“Yes.” Evans Benson answered.
Benson left with a fierce shake of his sleeve and a grip on his cane.
After he was gone, Jack Benson said, “Dad, do you think we can get the execution rights?”
“What’s not to be able to?” Evans Benson hooked the corners of his mouth and sneered, “That hairy kid Abbott Benson wants to take over the Benson, it also depends on whether he has the ability to do so!”
“But Grandpa …”
“He’s old, he doesn’t have long to live.” Evans Benson said, “Don’t worry, the Benson, sooner or later, is ours.”
