Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald ( Edward ) novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246 

The implication in Ben’s words was clear. He was considering pulling his investment. 

Mr. Witt almost had a heart attack, he quickly said, “Mr. Landor, we absolutely didn’t mean that! It’s Ms. Lynn here, she said she had a conflict with Mrs. Landor and specifically wanted to come and apologize. We… we had no idea she would come out with such nonsense.” 

But Monica’s behavior didn’t look like she was here to apologize. 

She was clearly here on a mission to catch a cheater. 

But in the end, her honey was here. What kind of adultery was this! 

Their entire film crew was about to be dragged down by Monica’s actions. 

“Oh?” Ben cast a nonchalant glance at Monica. 

Monica trembled, barely able to speak, “Ben, how… how come you are here?” 

Didn’t Best 

Didn’t Ben leave for a meeting a few days ago? 

“Why can’t I be here?” Ben calmly sat down next to Susan. “The real question is, why are you here?” 

“L…” Monica turned pale. 

She had thought. 

As long as she could prove that Susan and Eason were alone together, whether or not something actually happened between them didn’t matter. She would come out on top either way because Susan being alone with a man was already inappropriate. 

But now, Ben was also there. 

All her previous plans had failed the moment Ben appeared. 

Monica said, “I came here looking for Thomas, I genuinely wanted to apologize to Susan. But when I saw a stranger open the door, I misunderstood and said some things I shouldn’t have to Susan.” 

“I didn’t mean any harm.” 

Desperately, Monica looked to Thomas for help. “Thomas, you know me. I don’t have any ulterior motives, I’m truly innocent.” 

Thomas looked at Monica with a complex expression.

He really wanted to believe Monica. 

But his intelligence wouldn’t let him. 

Thomas silently looked away. 

Monica felt her heart sink, realizing that this time, Thomas probably wouldn’t help her either. 

She was on her own. 

Monica looked at Susan with teary eyes. “Susan, I’m sorry. I misspoke earlier, but you can’t blame me entirely. The situation did seem quite misleading. Even with Ben here, it’s not appropriate for Eason to stay here so late at night.” 

Eason narrowed his eyes and pulled out a chair from behind the table where Susan stood. 

Then, he casually glanced at Monica. “What’s wrong, can’t the three of us play a game of cards?” 

Monica stared at the scattered playing cards on the table. 

She didn’t know how to react. 

The middle of the night? 

Playing cards? 

This seemed… oddly unproblematic. 

“It was I who called Eason over,” Ben said calmly. “After all, two people can’t play cards by themselves.” 

Ben’s tone was light and breezy. 

The expressions around him started to turn curious. 

Who would have thought? A billionaire, a secret card game enthusiast? 

If this story got out, it could probably dominate the headlines for days. 

Monica panicked. “Then… then I must have misunderstood. I… I’ll leave now.” 

In this situation, Monica felt she couldn’t stay in the room any longer. 

She turned to leave. 

“Wait.” Ben’s voice was soft but firm. 

Monica stiffened,

Ben looked at Mr. Witt and said, “What was the reason you said Monica came here to find Susan?” 

Mr. Witt was quick on the uptake. “To apologize.” 

Ben’s gaze returned to Monica. “You plan to leave without finishing what you came here for?” 

Monica turned around, somewhat incredulously looking at Ben. 

She had already lost face, what more did Ben want from her? 

Was she actually expecting her to apologize to Susan? 

Did Susan even deserve it? 

“Yes! Ms. Lynn, you haven’t apologized yet, how can you just leave like this?” Mr. Witt quickly said. 

“Exactly.” Theresa chimed in with a smile. “We all followed you here to witness your apology. If you leave now, wouldn’t our trip be in vain?” 

“Yeah, we’re all waiting to see.” 

“Hurry up and apologize.” 

“It’s getting late, everyone is waiting.” 

The rest of the crew joined in, one after the other. 

Monica listened to the cacophony around her, her face gradually turning pale. 

She had brought all these people to prevent Susan from making excuses, but now, had the tables turned and they were here to see her make a fool of herself? 

She was, after all, the heiress of the Lynn family, and here she was, expected to apologize to Susan in front of all these people. 

Where could she possibly put her face! 

Monica looked at Ben with almost a plea in her eyes, hoping he would change his mind. 

Ben glanced at her indifferently. “Apologize.” 

Monica’s body began to tremble slightly. “I… I
