Chapter 160 - 161 Cut Them Off
Hearing the voice, everyone looked up over.
Benson stood in the light and came against the light.
He exuded an awe-inspiring aura and every step he took was an imperial move.
When Zoe saw that face, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide. It was a handsome man with a powerful aura!
Who was this man?
Many people present were puzzled as to who this man was in front of them. He was so handsome and had such a powerful aura that people just wanted to look up to him.
And the man was holding a bouquet of black roses in his hand, which made his aura colder and colder and made others fear to get close to him!
The whole room was silent.
Benson walked up to Juliana and handed her the flowers, "Sorry I'm late, Mrs. Leach."
Juliana took the flowers and looked up at Benson, "No, Mr. Leach, you're just in time."
Benson's daily routine was to have her tie his tie in the morning and come home with a bouquet of flowers for her in the evening.
Zoe was the first to return to the present moment and got even more shocked than before, "You... You're Benson Leach?"
How could such a handsome, elegant, and noble man be Benson?
Everyone knew that Benson was an ugly and crazy man. How could he be like this?
This did not match the legendary Benson at all!
Benson lowered his head to look at Zoe, his gaze as cold as ice, and instructed the lobby manager, "Go get the surveillance video."
The lobby manager only felt a chill down his spine and hurriedly asked someone to go to the surveillance video.
Zoe was still sitting on the floor and scared to move by Benson's icy stare, even more afraid to retort.
This was Benson!
He had been gentle to Juliana a second ago but was as cold as ice to her the next second.
As for the surveillance video?
Zoe had observed the surveillance cameras in the restaurant and known that it was a dead zone here, so it would not be captured that she had tripped Minna up.
Even if Benson investigated the surveillance video, it would be useless.
With this in mind, Zoe was instantly emboldened. She raised her head to look at Benson but was intimidated by the powerful aura and lowered her head instead.
Zoe said, "Mr. Leach, it was Juliana who hit me indiscriminately and made me fall to the ground."
Benson narrowed his eyes dangerously, "So?"
Zoe plucked up courage and said, "Juliana is so mean-spirited that she will only cause you trouble..."
Benson interrupted her in a cold voice, "I like her maliciousness and I like her causing me trouble."
Benson was usually a man of few words, but when it came to Juliana, he always had a lot to say.
Zoe choked and said, "Juliana is violent and loves to beat people up.
She has done it before. Mr. Leach, she's really mean."
Benson raised his head to look at Juliana and smiled lightly as he said, "I told you, I like her viciousness, and..."
He turned his head to look at Zoe indifferently and his voice instantly turned cold, "My lady can beat you if she wants to. Does she need a reason to do it?"
Zoe choked on Benson's words again.
This was the crazy Benson without any reasoning!
But this was the same madman who was defending Juliana, the useless, idle young lady!
Zoe's idea to make Benson hate Juliana so that Juliana lost her backer failed!
Benson took Juliana's hand, squeezed her palm, and asked her, "Have you beaten her enough?"
The crowd was also stunned. Was it really okay to ask such a question in such a doting tone?
Juliana looked at Zoe's hand and said, "She hurt Minna's hand."
Benson let out a low muffled hum and then spoke, "Then cut her hands off."
###Chapter 162 Begging for Forgiveness
The crowd looked at Benson in shock.
He was talking about cutting off one's hands? It was not like chopping off a pig's hooves or a cabbage!
How could he say it so easily?
Zoe's face turned pale and full of fear in an instant. She got down on her knees and begged for forgiveness regardless of the pain, "Mr. Leach, I know I was wrong. Don't be angry with me, please."
It was Benson, who had been insane for more than ten years, and he would really cut off her hands if he said so.
Even the Jennings family had to show respect to the Leach family.
Therefore, if Benson really cut off her hands, the Jennings family would not help her out and she could only suffer the loss herself.
At this moment, Zoe was literally terrified.
Zoe did not only kneel down but also bowed her head hard, only to beg Benson to retract his words.
Benson did not even frown at this scene but turned his head to look at Juliana, "My Mrs. Leach is not happy."
It was no use begging him. Zoe had to beg Mrs. Leach.
Zoe immediately turned to Juliana, "Miss Lewis..."
Benson narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Hmm?"
Zoe changed her words at once, "Mrs. Leach, I know I was wrong. You're so generous. Please forgive me. I beg you."
Juliana looked down at Zoe who was knocking her head on the ground like crazy. Her forehead touched the floor, stained with dessert, and seemed to have some blood on it.
But Juliana had not the slightest sympathy for her.
Juliana said coldly, "Minna's hand was pierced by the pieces of porcelain. Pay her back a wound yourself."
These words made Zoe, who was begging for mercy, freeze and look up at Juliana in shock.
After just one look, Zoe bit her lip, closed her eyes, raised her left hand, and pressed it hard against the broken porcelain pieces on the floor.
It was so painful that Zoe's face turned pale and she broke out in a cold sweat when the porcelain pieces pierced her palm, but she gritted her teeth and did not dare to scream.
Her ruthless action shocked the onlookers.
How cruel!
Zoe took a deep breath to keep herself from screaming out in pain and just asked through clenched teeth, "Is it okay now?"
Juliana said calmly, "Apologize to Minna. If she says it's okay, it's okay."
Zoe turned to Minna with her head down, "Minna, I'm sorry for just now. I was wrong. Please forgive me."
Minna was shocked to see Zoe like that. She had never seen such a bloody scene.
Minna waved her hand and said, "Forget it."
She wouldn't say "it's okay" because she knew that if it wasn't for Juliana and Benson, this would have happened to her today.
Only then did Zoe get up from the floor.
Juliana said indifferently, "Minna is injured and her clothes got dirty, so pay her for the clothes and lost wages. It's not much. A million dollars will do."
Zoe did not dare to say more, "Okay."
Minna opened her mouth but did not say anything in the end.
By the time the lobby manager got the surveillance video, Zoe had already gone away in dejection.
However, Benson still asked the manager to play the video so that everyone could see clearly that it was Zoe who started the trouble and what happened later.
Juliana smiled helplessly when she saw him like this, "Actually, it's not necessary."
People here didn't care what the truth was.
All they cared about was who had the greater power.
Benson looked at her and said, "It's necessary."
"You had a bad reputation before because I wasn't there.
Now, I won't subject you to any trumped-up accusations."
Juliana looked at Benson, and although he didn't say it, she understood what he meant.
She felt her heart warm.
This was Benson, who was only nice to her.
