Chapter 154

Desperate

“Justin! Since this is all that you’re capable of, we will definitely not be cooperating again in the
foreseeable future!”

After scolding him in anger and disappointment, Danna proceeded to grab her handbag. She then spun
around and was preparing to leave.

With a gloomy expression, Justin uttered, “Ms. Adams, I got exposed last night. I risked crossing
Benjamin in order to help you. I wasn’t expecting any gratitude from you but to think that you’d hit me
instead! Don’t you think that you’ve gone too far? I lost a lot of my people!”

“Oh, that’s because you’re incompetent! If you were actually capable, then why have you come to find
me now?” Danna turned around and stared back at him, her expression growing much darker.

Justin swallowed his fear and stated, “I do have good news. Do you want to hear it?”

At this point, Danna refused to believe that he had any real good news to share.

“Benjamin went to the abandoned building last night.”

Suddenly, Danna’s expression changed. “How did he find out about that place?”

What could Benjamin have found?

Danna immediately felt her heart sink as she began to panic.

“Well, I’m not quite sure how exactly.” Justin was staring at her body with lustful eyes. “You should stay
here with me for a while. Make me happy, and I’ll help you investigate it!”

“In your dreams!”



Danna grabbed the porcelain near the doorway and threw it at him. She then opened the door and
proceeded to leave.

Justin caught the porcelain and fiddled with it in his hands. His face fell.

“What a bad temper you have! Would Benjamin even want someone this desperate?”

Though he wasn’t that loud, Danna heard him very clearly. Her expression twisted. I truly regret getting
involved with Justin. What a scumbag!

“Ms. Adams, Benjamin doesn’t want you! I want you! You’re welcome to come here any time!” Justin
shouted at the top of his lungs.

Danna’s face fell. She angrily rushed into her car and left the premises immediately.

The bodyguards beside the door briefly glared at her in disdain. How can a woman like that be Mr.
Rogers’ type?

Not long after, Justin came outside.

He instructed them, “Keep an eye on Benjamin. Report to me if there is any news!”

“Yes, Mr. Rogers!”

When Benjamin’s car was almost at the company, Arissa tried to tell the driver to stop the vehicle.

“I’m getting out! Please stop the car!”

The driver looked at the man through the rear-view mirror. Seeing that Benjamin did not say anything,
the driver did not dare to stop the car.

“But Ms. York, we haven’t arrived at the company yet!” the driver reminded Arissa.



“No, I’m getting out right here!”

Arissa did not want anyone to spread gossip. Even allowing rumors to circulate would still be very
hurtful.

Benjamin’s eyes flickered as he glanced at Arissa. “But we haven’t reached the company yet. What are
you doing?”

Arissa looked at him and explained, “I think that getting out right here is the better option!”

Benjamin’s frowned and he furrowed.

She gulped subconsciously, gathering the courage to speak further. “If people get the wrong idea about
us, then it will surely have an impact on your reputation!”

“Hah!” Benjamin chuckled sarcastically. “Looks like you do care about your boss. Stop the car!”

The last three words were spoken with a tone of displeasure.

The driver, who wasn’t brave enough to protest against it, quickly pulled over and stopped the car.

“Thank you!” Arissa thanked the driver as she got out of the car. She then faced Benjamin. “Thank you,
Mr. Graham…”

Before she could finish her sentence, the door to the car closed automatically, and the car sped away.

Arissa was rendered speechless.

She calmed herself down and began walking toward the company.

At the same time, she tried to call her son.



Upon receiving her call, Zachary immediately answered it.

Arissa could hear his voice coming through the phone call.

“Mommy!”

“Hey, Sweetheart. Where are you right now?”

Looking at the time, Arissa forced herself to walk faster.

“We just arrived at school!”

“Did you sleep well last night? Did you eat your breakfast?” Arissa asked out of concern.

Zachary replied, “Yeah, we all slept well. Well, except for Jesse because she was calling your name.
Mr. Hinton bought breakfast for us this morning!”

“Okay. Did Mr. Hinton also take you guys to school?”

“Yes. Well, no. Mr. Hinton only took Jasper to school. I was following from behind with Oliver and
Jessica!”

Arissa was surprised when she heard her son’s reply. She asked, “How come?”
