"What's wrong? What’s wrong! Of course, that hotheaded husband of yours went and caused trouble again!"
At this moment, Ivan walked in with Xena, a humorless smile on his lips.
"Ivan, why did you bring her here? Isn’t she Ben's girlfriend?”
Theodore could not help but furrow his brows when he saw his son walking in with Xena.
Ivan gave a wry smile. He cast Ben a purposeful look before speaking, "Heh. Yes, Xena was Ben's girlfriend. But he's useless. He's already in his twenties, but he's still a good-for-nothing. Of course, Xena would want a more established man!"
Here, he smiled at the audience and introduced her, "Everyone, this is Xena Jackson, and she's my girlfriend. And we’re a match made in heaven.”
Ben’s expression soured, and redness limned his eyes although he was well aware that Xena was a cruel and horrible person. A woman like her was not even worthy of his affections, but he had been with her for a long time. His heart still ached when he saw her.
"Oh. So she's your girlfriend now? Congratulations! It's only right that a beauty is paired with a prince, instead of some neet who only knows how to play video games all day. It would be a miracle i f the girlfriend of someone like that didn’t run off!"
Cecilia spoke sardonically after she heard that, folding her arms across her chest. "Heh. One man's trash is another man's treasure. Of course, there would be someone willing to pick up what Ben sees a s trash. Birds of a feather flock together, after all!"
Fane gave a mirthless chuckled when he heard that. "But those who keep money-minded women will live to regret their decision!"
"That's right. I've never seen such a shameless person in my life!"
