"I have a dinner party tonight. Do you want to go with me?" Ben asked her in a low voice.

"What kind of dinner? If it's a business one, I won't go. I'm stupid." Bella had gone out to dinner with her father before. It was too complicated, and she didn't know how to behave. "Just a dinner with a client. If you don't want to go, you can just wait for me at the hotel." Ben respected her thoughts.

"Do you want me to go?" Bella's beautiful eyes lit up.

"Yes, I do." Ben said Georgely.

"Well, then I'll go with you." Bella didn't want to stay in the hotel alone. She felt safer with Ben.

"OK. You don't have to drink," Ben laughed softly.

Bella nodded.

There was a total of eight or nine people at the dining table. Ben was confident enough to handle the situation, although all of the people present were middle-aged men in their forties or fifties.

"Mr. William, is this your girlfriend? This is the first time I've seen you bring a girl out to dinner."

"So beautiful. Mr. William, you are quite lucky."

Bella stood beside Ben in embarrassment. Seeing that she was valued because of Ben, she was indescribably happy. Perhaps she had been suppressed in her own family for too long. The feeling of being respected and valued was really different.

"Yes. This is my girlfriend, Bella." Ben introduced her in a generous manner.

Bella smiled at them. Then, Ben introduced the people present to her one by one.

The dinner was mainly about a project that Ben had developed here in the city. Bella listened carefully. Although Ben was young, his tone was calm and extraordinary. He was completely different from those rich families' boys. He was not arrogant at all.

Bella suddenly wanted to meet Ben's parents. She wondered how he was brought up. She had seen many rich kids-some lazy, some arrogant. But Ben was completely different. She had rarely seen a low- key and confident man like him. Perhaps she had seen too little. In this world, there were really many outstanding people who were working even harder than the ordinary.

The atmosphere at the dinner was good. Bella had also had some food and drinks. Perhaps it was because of Ben, no one forced her a toast. She was at ease.

After the meal, it was already past ten o'clock. Ben had brought a driver along, so he could go back theoretically.

But he had drunk some wine, and his face flushed red. Bella was worried that driving at night was not safe, so she preferred to rest here for a night before returning.

"Ben, let's go back tomorrow morning. Anyway, I don't have classes tomorrow," Bella looked at Ben's blushing face and whispered.

Ben couldn't agree more.

"Fantastic. Let's get a room and rest," he turned up the corners of his thin lips.

Bella was a little flustered by his smile. Could it be a bad idea?

They got a suite and checked in. Bella poured a glass of water for Ben, who was sitting on the sofa.

"Are you alright?" Bella asked him with concern.

"I am happy today. I've had a little much." He looked up at her and said, "Do you know why I'm happy?"

How could Bella know? She immediately shook her head.

The man smiled meaningfully, "Because of you! You are by my side, so I am happy."

Bella blushed, "Water?"

"Feed me," Ben started to play hooligan.

Bella's hand trembled in fright. She almost dropped the glass. How should she answer such an ambiguous request?

"Oh." Bella could only bend down and bring the cup to his lips.

Ben took a sip and frowned, "Too hot."

Bella was stunned for a moment and quickly lowered her head to take a sip, "It's not."

Seeing that she had been tricked, Ben immediately laughed out loud.

Only then did Bella realize that this man was playing tricks on her. She blushed and said angrily, "Ben, how could you do this?"

"Give me the cup." Seeing that she was angry, Ben did not want to tease her anymore. He took the cup and took a few sips before placing it at the table. Then he reached out to the girl standing beside him. Bella lost her balance and fell on Ben's laps. She cried out in alarm.

"Bella." The man came to her with his thin lips near her tender ears, "Thank you for coming with me."

Bella's entire body tensed up. Her mind went blank. She only came here with him because she had nowhere else to go!

She turned her head in shyness, and Ben's thin lips gently brushed past her cheeks. A wisp of electric current ran through her body. She felt numb.

Drown in her delicate smell, Ben's body had long since awakened. Her beautiful face was so close to him. He wanted more.

Just as his thin lips were about to touch hers, his phone rang.

Ben cursed the caller in secret. Such beautiful ambience was destroyed just like that.

"You have a call...."Bella also felt as if she had been struck in the head. She immediately woke up and quickly stood up from his legs.

Ben took the phone and answered, "What did that bastard say?"

A man's voice sounded, "We've beaten him up. He was too weak! He had told us everything. He wasn't the one who picked up the phone. It was a woman who paid him to post the photos on the school net. He didn't know who that woman was. I showed him Rosia's photo and he said it was her."

"Alright. Keep the evidence and wait for me to go back." Ben hung up. He looped up to see Bella, only to replace that she was staring at him without blinking.

"Got some clues on that matter. It was Rosia. Rosia found a student and asked him to upload the photos." An angry look came into Ben's face. Rosia was simply a snake, cruel and merciless.

Bella trembled upon his words. It was Rosia again. Why couldn't Rosia let her go?

"Why does she hate me so much?" Bella clenched her fists angrily.

"She is afraid that you will take away your family's property. You are Beck's only daughter." Ben had already seen through all of this. Rosia kept causing trouble for Bella, because she wanted Bella to give up her right of inheritance.

"Does money mean everything to her? She had already moved into the Charles's house. Why was she still not satisfied? I couldn't help but hate her if she really wants to destroy my mother and me." Bella had never hated someone so much. Rosia kept crossing her line.

"Bella, you're too kind. She's much crueler than you. That's why she will hurt you again and again." Ben looked at her with distress. The tears in her eyes made him painful. He wished he could immediately cut that vicious woman into thousands of pieces.
