Chapter 329 I Did That to Save Her
Kelly looked around and her eyes were instantly locked on the room where the door was half-opened. In a few steps, she dashed toward the room and pushed the door open only to find Aleena lying on the bed.
Aleena was still sleeping and she was almost fully naked. She looked like a mess! Feeling uncomfortable, she even grunted unconsciously.
Kelly’s brain buzzed as if thunder had struck her. Their family was rather traditional. She and her husband were upright people and their daughter was definitely the apple of their eyes.
She always told her daughter that she must love herself and never do anything inappropriate before her marriage.
On the other hand, Aleena was always obedient, so how did she suddenly end up like that?
Kelly walked into the room and gently nudged Aleena. “Aleena! Aleena, wake up!”
Unfortunately, no matter how many times Kelly called Aleena, she didn’t wake up. Helpless, Kelly could only cover her with the blanket and shut the door before walking out of the room.
Then, she walked directly toward Ben. Without hesitation, she raised her hand and swung it at his face!
A clear smack could be heard along with her heartbroken curse. “You b*stard!”
Ben staggered after the slap.
Hastily, Eric pulled Kelly over and asked, “What happened? Where is Aleena?”
Kelly pointed at Ben with her reddened eyes. “He assaulted our daughter!”
Upon hearing that, Eric’s face turned dark and he glared at Ben fiercely. “You really did that?!”
Ben didn’t try to explain and just said, “I’m sorry.”
At once, fury coursed through Eric, causing him to kick Ben.
Ben was knocked over to the floor but he got up on the spot and kneeled. Then, he kowtowed to Kelly and Eric while saying sincerely, “Uncle Eric, Aunt Kelly, please don’t be angry. Let me explain myself. I didn’t assault Aleena. In fact, I care for her more than anyone else. To be honest, I’ve always admired her and what I did today was solely to save her. Uncle Eric and Aunt Kelly, don’t worry. I’ll be responsible and marry her! If I had an alternative, I swear I wouldn’t have done it, but I asked for her permission and she agreed.”
After all, Eric didn’t know the details so he didn’t understand what Ben was saying. “What do you mean?”
Ben replied, “Uncle Eric, Aleena was drugged and the potency is not only strong, but it also lasts for hours. I never wanted to hurt her and only wanted to bring her to the hospital. Unexpectedly, Aleena… Regardless, I’m a man and I will always be the one who is in the wrong. If you’re angry, you may hit me!”
Eric was extremely shocked. “What do you mean, drugged? Who did it?”
While asking, he looked at Eugene. That glance was full of blame as if he was saying, My daughter was hurt at your place so you must take responsibility for it.
Eugene secretly scoffed while looking at Lara and Ben, who were putting up a show. What an interesting performance.
Ben first allowed Eric and Kelly to vent their anger on him. After that, he slowly led them into finding out that it was all their daughter’s fault and he was only trying to save her.。
Then, Eric and Kelly would feel extremely guilty toward Ben, who was misunderstood. Taking that opportunity, Ben would get twice the result easily through negotiation.
If Ben was clever enough, he might even secure himself a marriage.
What a brilliant tactic of making concessions in order to gain advantages!
Eugene was in a quandary as he said, “Uncle Eric, Aunt Kelly, I think you should watch the CCTV footage first.”
After that, he led Eric and Kelly to the monitoring room and played the video that had been projected on the screen by North.
