SWNOVELS Chapter 17 Fanning the Flames
Chapter 17 Fanning the Flames
"Ben, don't persuade me about this matter. I will kill this bastard today! Every one of the Wyatt family and the Shaffer family is upright except him. He indulges himself in sensual pleasures and spends his time fiddling around. The journalists also took photos of him playing around with girls, and everyone knew about this! He is really a disgrace to both the Wyatt family and the Shaffer family!" Brian scolded Darnell and whipped him again.
Darnell was trembling with pain, but he kept arguing, "Old man, are you a devil? The picture in the newspaper is covered with mosaics. Why do you insist that the person is me?"
"Darnell, stop talking!"
Abbey stamped her feet and said anxiously.
Darnell even dared to answer back at this time.
Brian was so angry that he whipped again and said, "I'm your father. How could I didn't recognize you? Let alone the mosaics, I would recognize you even if you were burned into ashes!" "...Ben, don't just stand there and watch! Please help persuade my Dad."
Darnell suddenly became a little anxious when he saw that Bennett kept silent after he was here.
Bennett glanced at Darnell, who was sweating in pain, raised his brows slightly, and said slowly, "I think what Brian said is right, and Darnell has gone too far this time."
What?
Darnell was shocked.
He called Bennett to support him, but how...
Bennett sat down on the chair opposite of Darnell. He took the cup of black tea that the servant specially made for him and took a sip. When he saw everyone was looking at him confusedly, he said again, "Brian, go ahead. Just ignore me, I'm just here for the tea."
Darnell cursed, "Fuck..."
Until now Darnell realized that Ben didn't come here to save him, but to fan the flames!
Why would he do that?
Just because he didn't recognize his girlfriend and picked on her that day?
Damn it!
"Ben, you put her above buddies..."
"You...you...you...you are blinded by sexual desire. How could you do this to me?"
Despite his curses, Bennett was still sipping the cup of black tea in his hand.
Obviously, when he came here today not to persuade his Dad, but...to watch him suffer!
What a jerk!
No, he was even worse!
After Darnell was beaten to a pulp, he was carried back to his bed.
Soon, the family doctor came to put medicine on his wounds.
Darnell refused to cooperate and said, "Get out! Get the hell out of here."
He was still pissed off!
Bennett stood beside his bed with his hands behind his back, looked down at him lying on the bed, and said, "Either the doctor or I will do this. You can choose by yourself."
Damn!
Darnell looked as if he had seen the ghost, grabbed the doctor's hand, and said, "I choose you. Hurry up!"
He was afraid that Bennett would apply medicine on him.
Right now, Darnell's beloved brother Ben became the person who put the girl he liked above everything else.
No wonder it's said that nobody dared to mess with Mr. Shaffer.
Bennett was pleased that Darnell took a hint.
Abbey who was standing beside them wiped the tears and said, "Only you can talk into him, and he listens to you."
Darnell's face became gloomy.
Obviously, he was threatened by Ben!
"Mom, could you leave us alone for a while? I want to talk in private with Ben."
Darnell said while gnashing his teeth.
"Don't cause any trouble!"Abbey was still worried and said, "Ben did that for your own good. It was all your fault!"
Darnell raised the corners of his mouth and sneered.
He didn't do that for him. He just loved that woman to the bone.
"Abbey, it's Okay. Just give us a minute."
"All right. Have a good chat."
Abbey went out of Darnell's bedroom with the doctor and servants.
As soon as they left, Darnell stood up quickly and said with a serious look on his face, "I know who you get married with, and I looked her up as soon as I came back. She is Catalina, the bitch who got Warren bedridden. She also gets me beaten today."
He said angrily, "Why did you marry her?"
Bennett looked down at him with a calm expression and even said indifferently, "Why should I explain this to you?"
"You need to not only explain this to me but also to every member of the Shaffer family! Ben, are you crazy? After what she did to Warren, how could you still marry her? Aren't you afraid that Brian and Abbey will be mad at you if they find it out? If Warren knew about this, he would also be furious."
Bennett said indifferently, "I know what I'm supposed to do."
"Come on, you can drop the pretense. How could I not know what's on your mind?"
Darnell waved his hand and muttered, "I really don't know what spell this woman cast on the men of the Shaffer family, so you are obsessed with her."
"I don't."
"Don't you?"
Darnell stood up excitedly, pointed at Bennett angrily, and complained, "Ben, face your conscience. Do you dare to say it was not because you thought I picked on her that day that you just sat there sipping tea and watching me beaten by my Dad? This is your revenge!"
"Yes."
"Damn!"
He had the nerve to admit it.
And he acted like...he had nothing to worry about.
Darnell fell back on the bed, rubbed his chest angrily, and said, "Why do you tell me that you don't like her? I think the first person in the family who is furious."
Bennett looked down at him with one hand in the pocket and said, "No one can lay the hand on what's mine. It doesn't matter whether I like her or not." Darnell turned his face away and snorted, "It's better that you said so, otherwise I won't be the only one in this family who is angry with you." "Take care of yourself first!"
"I'm leaving."
Bennett turned around and strode out.
"Ben!"
Darnell shouted to him from behind, "When will you introduce your wife to Brian and Abbey? Don't forget how she betrayed Warren back then if it weren't because of her..."
"Bang."
Before Darnell finished his words, the bedroom door was already slammed shut.
Bennett's figure disappeared behind the door.
Darnell scratched his head and said to himself, "What on earth does Ben want to do? Does he really like that easy girl?"
Darnell had the urge to tell Brian and Abbey that Ben had got married right away, but in the end, he didn't do that.
Thinking about his wounds, he didn't dare to betray Ben.
Saving his own life was the most important thing, and other things didn't matter.
However, though he should keep this secret, there was no way that he would easily let Catalina get away with this.
Four years ago, Warren was betrayed by her, and he was still in a coma. Now he was beaten up because of her, so he couldn't let her go.
As for the reporter from Sayton Newspaper, what a coincidence that they met again.
Darnell sneered, "Catalina, just you wait!"
