    Chapter 77 The Ostracized Boss


    After Ethen left, Kingsley approached Benjamin. “Let’s go and get our free meal too!”


    Benjamin swept a nce at him.


    “Arissa’s treating her department to a meal. She’s even called Ethen along. Aren’t you going?”


    Kingsley knocked on the office desk.


    Benjamin’s brows furrowed. She’s treating them to a meal? She called Ethen along and left me, the


    company owner, out of it?


    Benjamin felt a hint of displeasure so ephemeral that he did not even notice it.


    “Aren’t you going?”


    Kingsley looked at Benjamin and smiled. “If you’re embarrassed to be a freeloader, why not be the one


    to give the treat? You’re the boss. Surely you can give your staff and subordinates a treat?”


    Benjamin stood up and walked out of his office. “As a boss, I should treat my staff nicely.”


    Kingsley grinned and looked at Benjamin with his eyes full of mirth.


    “Boss, you seem to have changed!”


    Benjamin cast a stern nce at Kingsley, who quickly wised up.


    When the two of them reached the first floor, Zayden caught sight of Benjamin and rushed forward.


    “Benjamin!”All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    Even as an elder who was nearly twice Benjamin’s age, Zayden was subdued by the former’s aura.


    Despite feeling a little ufortable, he still called out to Benjamin amiably.


    “I have a matter to discuss with you.”


    Benjamin looked at Zayden coldly. “If this is about Danna’s treatment toward Gavin, we have nothing to


    talk about!”


    Zayden froze momentarily.


    Without sparing him a second nce, Benjamin strode out of the building with Zayden hot on his heels.


    “Benjamin, I’ve given Danna a good scolding after I found out about it. She knows she is at fault for this


    matter. However, there is no mother who does not dote on her own child. She just did it in a fit of anger.


    Now, she is filled with remorse…”


    Benjamin’s face darkened.


    Kingsley cast a nce at Zayden and said sarcastically, “Your familyes up tops when ites to


    being shameless. After mistreating your own children, you still have the cheek to say you did it out of


    love. Why don’t I give you a thrashing to express my love for you?”


    Under Kingsley’s mockery, Zayden’s face betrayed some change of emotion. He suppressed the anger


    that raged within him.


    “This matter does not concern you, so why interfere with it? Would things have gotten to such a state if


    not for you? Bringing this matter to light will do neither Danna nor Gavin any good. What is it that you’re


    trying to do?”


    Kingsley sneered. He stood with both hands in his pockets and stared defiantly at Zayden.


    “I’m not trying to do anything. I exposed it because I can’t stand by idly and watch it happen. Why don’t


    we let others be the judge of whether your daughter did right to bully a child like that?”


    “Kingsley, let’s go!”


    Benjamin called out to him and boarded the car.


    Seeing Benjamin leave, Zayden caught up with him. “Benjamin…”


    “There’s no need to exin on her behalf. I have eyes to see for myself!”


    Benjamin cast a dark look at Zayden.


    Zayden cowered under the bloodthirst he saw in Benjamin’s eyes. His body wavered as a chill ran


    through his body.


    Has Benjamin decided to abandon Danna?


    Swiftly, Kingsley boarded the car. Before he shut the door, he told Zayden, “Oh, Mr. Adams, your


    daughter even threatened me. The Adams family is pretty powerful. I would really like to know whether


    you can continue your winning streak to the very end.”


    As he was mocked by someone younger, Zayden looked terrible. At the same time, he was furious at


    Danna.


    The Adams and the Watts were of almost equal standing, but the Watts enjoyed the support from the


    Grahams.


    In Dellmoor, the various prestigious families revered the Grahams as the leader of the pack.


    How did I end up bringing up such a fool? Not only did she fail to win Benjamin’s heart after so many


    years, she even went further to offend him.


    Watching their car leave the premises, Zayden boarded his own vehicle angrily to return to his


    company. He needed to think of a proper way to resolve the problem.


    “That wily old fox is shameless indeed!”mented Kingsley angrily.


    “Delete that tweet!” snapped Benjamin out of the blue.


    Kingsley thought he was hearing things. He stared at Benjamin incredulously. “Are you still trying to


    protect that woman?”


    Benjamin maintained an eerie silence.


    “Confound it!”


    Kingsley was infuriated. What’s this blockhead thinking? Instead of protecting his own son, he’s going


    easy on her?
