"Think about it seriously, Ben. Has she been acting weird lately? She didn’t even dare to pick up that call from last night. Do you think it's a harassing phone call from a property agency? I think there's something suspicious going on!
"Secondly, she’s been buying quite a few branded bags lately. They must be worth at least ten thousand each, and her clothes are pretty expensive too—and she's bought quite a few of them. She didn't do this before."
Selena took a step forward. "You really want to get married to her, and you're serious about it," she told Ben earnestly. " But remember how she mumbled and twisted her words last night when you said you wanted to get married sooner? She didn’t seem the least bit happy to me. I suspect that she has another man outside."
"I don't care. I need proof. You two will just be slandering her without it!"
Ben was extremely angry. He picked his phone up. "I just bought this phone. It was worth a few thousand bucks!"
"Here's seven or eight thousand. Go ahead and buy a new phone. But don’t breathe a word about how we suspect her, alright? And you have to cooperate with us when w e tell you too! That's how we're going to get the evidence!"
Fane took out a wad of cash from his wallet and thrust it toward Ben after he thought about it.
"Don't worry. I believe that you'll never find proof!"
Ben flashed a frosty smile and walked off after taking the money.
"Jeez. Seems like your brother really is head over heels for that woman!”
Fane released a sigh, feeling helpless. He really did not expect that Ben would almost punch Selena for Xena's sake when the former was his own sister.
"I've always felt that nothing good could come out of her, but I never had the guts to say it out loud. I kept hinting it toward my brother, but unfortunately, he never took it seriously."
Selena also sighed. "I really hope that we can find out the man that Xena is seeing this time. My brother will have his heart completely broken then. He's pretty goodlooking, and it won’t be hard for him to find a nice girl, considering how our family is now!" "Mmhmm. We have to weed him out. That woman is really a b*tch. She's so daring and venomous! And she’s cunning. Your parents are practically eating out of her hand."
