Chapter 354 How Dare You!

In fact, Ben did not call Imogen until the next morning.

When he reached the thirtieth call, Imogen had already put her phone

on mute, but she was not asleep yet.

At this moment, Cordelia heard the sound of cars outside the yard.

"Isn't Ben here?" Cordelia asked Imogen.

"Just tell him I'm not here." Imogen quickly covered her head with the

quilt in fear.

Cordelia had no choice but to go downstairs.

As she expected, Ben came with Elijah.

However, Elijah did not bring Ben in and stayed outside with Ben,

ringing the doorbell like a guest.

Naturally, Cordelia would not let them in, so she met Ben in the yard.

"Why did you come at this late hour?"

Ben was obviously impatient. He didn't beat around the bush and asked

straight to the point, "Is Imogen inside?”

"No! She's in Grant City." Cordelia lied with confidence.

"Cordelia, don't lie to me.” Ben's tone suddenly became very angry.

Elijah immediately pulled him back. "Don't be rude. Do you remember

what you promised me before we came?"

Ben gritted his teeth. He did promise Elijah that he would talk to

Cordelia nicely.

But seeing Cordelia confidently lying, Ben couldn't suppress his anger

at all.

Cordelia folded her arms around her chest, looked at Ben

expressionlessly, and said, "Please go back if there is nothing important.

I'm going to sleep.”

"Cordelia, tell Imogen she can deal with me at will, but she can't harm

Elissa!"

Ben's voice was loud, as if he wanted Imogen, who was hiding

somewhere, to hear it.

And in fact, Imogen heard it, heartbroken.

She thought Ben was not a scumbag but a shameless ingrate!

Cordelia pulled the corners of her lips and then said, "Then please take

good care of Elissa, and don't let her hurt Imogen again. We are also

capable of doing what you can do."

When Imogen, who was hiding upstairs, heard Cordelia’s words, she

was so moved that she almost burst into tears!

Obviously, this matter had nothing to do with Cordelia, but Cordelia

was involved and stood by Imogen's side.

Ben was speechless for a moment and glanced upstairs with some

sullen eyes.

Cordelia raised her eyebrows. "So? We can only be beaten passively,

right? Ben, do you always have a double standard?"

Elijah interrupted in time and said to Ben, "The matter this time was

originally your fault. Imogen has always been obedient. She has hidden

in Grant City. What else do you want?"

While talking, Elijah signaled with his eyes to Ben that he should stop

making a fuss.

However, Ben said, "I know Imogen is upstairs. Ask her to come down

to meet me. I won't hold her accountable for this matter!"

Cordelia raised her eyebrows. "What qualifications do you have to see

her?"

"Cordelia, don't go too far!" Ben raised his voice.

"Speaking loudly won't justify you.” Cordelia stared at Ben with a sneer

and said word by word, "You know she's pregnant, right? You know

she's most afraid of ghosts, right?

"You claim to be concerned about the babies in her belly, yet you

mistreat her. If someone like you can achieve your goals, even God

could not bear it!"

Ben was scolded by Cordelia so much that his breathing became short.

It had been ages since no one dared to scold him like that!

This brought back some depressing memories from his childhood.

And the faces of those children who had bullied Ben gradually

reappeared in his mind, making him want to resist even more.

He suddenly shouted upstairs, "Imogen, come down. Otherwise, you

will never see your family again tomorrow!"

Cordelia narrowed her eyes. "You are so unscrupulous, Ben! How dare

you!"
