Chapter 71 Benjamin Suspects Danna

Meanwhile, Benjamin remained nonchalant about Danna’s repeated calls. The woman was determined

to get him on the phone.

As a matter of fact, Danna had already arrived at Benjamin’s office. However, the security guards at the

entrance stopped her from entering the premises.

“Buzz off! I’ll make sure all of you get the sack!” fumed Danna.

“I am sorry for the inconvenience, but an employee must verify and escort all visitors to office premises.

Otherwise, we can’t let you in,” insisted the security guard.

Earlier on, Benjamin passed orders to stop Danna from entering. Thus, the security did just as they were

told.

“I am Benjamin’s fiancée and have entered the office in the past!” expostulated Danna, who was livid at

the way they barred her from entry. In her exasperation, she glared sinisterly at them.

“Mr. Graham does not have a fiancée!” retorted the security guards with a stoic countenance. They were

actually professional bodyguards hired to be security guards on the premises.

Danna’s face contorted with rage as they infuriated her. By hook or by crook, she needed to see

Benjamin immediately. The longer the scandal remained in the limelight, the worse it was for the Adams

family stock price. To make it worse, Danna’s father made it clear to her about his displeasure.

What exasperated Danna more was the underhanded means of Kingsley. No matter how many

ghostwriters she hired, she could not cover up the scandal.



If she could, she would pay to have the malicious tweets retracted. Unfortunately, the tweets came from

Kingsley’s official Twitter account and could only be taken down by himself. Hence, there was no way

she could keep it under wraps.

Her own family intervened with their efforts, but it was futile. So, she sought Benjamin for help. She knew

that as long as she could see Benjamin, the latter could help her.

Alas, Benjamin did not pick up her calls, and she was stuck outside his office. At that point, Danna

fretted. In a frenzy, she called Benjamin relentlessly.

“Boss, let me hack into your home surveillance cameras,” urged Kingsley. Since Benjamin did not object

to it, Kingsley tried to hack his way into the footage. However, he was unsuccessful.

Kingsley wanted to upload surveillance camera footage online to turn the tables on Danna’s ghostwriters.

However, the sophisticated firewall setup prevented him from doing so.

“What is this? Boss, when did you upgrade the firewall system? The defenses are as solid as a rock!”

Kingsley marveled with amazement.

Benjamin gazed at him indifferently and replied blandly, “Just yesterday.”

Kingsley was speechless for a moment.

Then he explained, “I want the footage that will expose her misdeeds to the world. To protect Gavin’s

identity, I will blur out his face so no one can tell who he is.”

At that same time, Benjamin stared at his illuminated phone screen. Finally, he accepted the incoming

call.

From the other line, Danna sounded anxious but also as happy as a clam as she chirped away,

“Benjamin, you picked up my call at last!”



Just like a bucket of cold water, Benjamin dampened her excitement with his icy-cold tone. “I’m in a

meeting now.”

Kingsley looked on with the corners of his mouth twitching. Next, he took a seat at the side and passed

orders to blow up the scandal. As Benjamin did not care about Danna anymore, Kingsley wanted to

teach her a lesson on behalf of Gavin. Since you have the nerve to bully Gavin, I’ll teach you a lesson

you won’t forget. Then you will become a changed person for good.

“Can I help you with something?” asked Benjamin impatiently.

As she felt a lump in her throat, Danna muttered sheepishly, “Benjamin, I know I made a mistake. When

my job got too stressful, I vented my frustration on Gavin at his slightest disobedience. I should have

held back. Even though I am too much, let me guarantee you it will never happen again. I will love Gavin

with all my—”

“That’s unnecessary from now on!” Benjamin cut Danna off stone-cold. He did not want to hear another

word from her as rage ravaged his heart like burning ambers.

Since Danna was obviously unrepentant, Benjamin felt Gavin was better off without a mother like her.

Besides, she even tried to frame Gavin. Thankfully, Gavin was a sensible child who knew what to do.

“Gavin has never bad-mouthed you, even after your claims that he was disobedient. Actually, I wish he

was disobedient instead. Then he would have exposed your misdeeds earlier,” scoffed Benjamin

scornfully.

When he recalled how Gavin suffered under Danna’s hands, his eyes glinted with viciousness.

He wondered whether Danna assumed he would do nothing to her for her to take her anger out on

Gavin.



“Benjamin, I’ve misspoken again. I love Gavin too. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have given birth to him. I need

better control of my emotions and will change for the better in the future.” Danna continued sobbing

miserably as she pleaded with him, “Benjamin, it doesn’t matter to me what others are saying. They can

berate me all they want, but we must keep Gavin’s identity under wraps. Is it possible for Kingsley to

delete his Twitter posts? At the rate his tweets are trending, it will harm Gavin…”

Benjamin’s eyes stared blankly in cold blood. “Worry about yourself instead. I will take care of Gavin’s

matters myself.”

In his mind, he knew jolly well about Danna’s selfish intent. At the end of the day, Danna was only

concerned about her self-interest under the pretext of caring about Gavin. How can she be Gavin’s real

mom?

Benjamin’s cold gaze deepened as he dwelled on his thoughts.
