The girls were flabbergasted. Who did she think she was? She looked so plain. She was the complete opposite of Benjamin Inkling! Why would Benjamin accept her food? The girls vented their frustration by cursing at Margot. They glared at Margot's retreating figure with resentment.Kayla was standing not far away and had witnessed the entire scene earlier. She had an ugly expression on her face. But knowing she needed to approach Benjamin next, she composed herself and walked toward him."Good morning, Benjamin." Kayla approached Benjamin with a gentle smile. "Have you had your breakfast yet? I happened to bring some. How about we have it together?"She shook the lunchbox in her hand.Benjamin gave her an indifferent look and raised his hand slightly. "I have my breakfast here."Kayla nodded. "I saw Ms. Zimmerman bringing you breakfast just now. I have to say, she's quite a competent nurse. She doesn't work for you anymore, yet she still brought you breakfast. I'll definitely hire
Margot shrugged. "Nothing."Benjamin gritted his teeth in annoyance.Margot asked, "What are we eating? And where are we going?"Benjamin simply turned and walked in a direction. He slipped his hands into his pockets, adopting a carefree look.Margot followed behind him. Upon seeing his demeanor, her eyes suddenly watered. She hadn't realized how carefree he used to be before she met him. A pang of bittersweet pain hit her. Margot sucked in a deep breath and quickly composed herself. "Where exactly are you taking me?"She glanced around and didn't see his red Ferrari. "Aren't you going to drive me in your Ferrari?"Benjamin groaned. "Please shut up.""Sorry." Margot obediently sealed her lips and stopped talking.An eerie silence hung between them. Suddenly, Benjamin cleared his throat. "Can you handle spicy food?"Margot nodded, then realized he couldn't see her since he was walking ahead. She caught up to him and nodded again.Benjamin furrowed his brows in confusion.
Margot immediately asked, "You smoke?"How did she never notice this in her past life?She realized it wasn't that she didn't notice. It was that he had never smoked in front of her.Benjamin glanced at her and bit into the cigarette. He stared at her steadily before putting it back in its box."I don't feel like it anymore," Benjamin huffed.Margot tilted her head in confusion. She didn't understand what he was doing."Margot Zimmerman." Benjamin lightly tapped the table, leaning back in his chair. His eyes gave her the illusion that he was gazing at her tenderly."Yes?" Margot met his gaze.Benjamin said, "You don't need to bring me breakfast in the future. And don't text me again. I'll remember your favor."Margot froze. "Are you trying to distance yourself from me?"Benjamin shrugged. "We're not close to begin with. In fact, we belong to two very different worlds. I won't marry you. Do you understand me?"Margot stared at him, forcefully suppressing her sadness. Her appe
Benjamin gave him a cold glance but said nothing else.On the other hand, Patrick sat at the table across from them. There were four people in total, two men and two women, just enough for one table.Patrick looked at Margot. "Do you also go to school here, Ms. Zimmerman? Why haven't I seen you before?"Patrick was confident he had seen all the girls in this school, especially a beauty like Margot. He would definitely have noticed her.Margot shook her head. "I don't go to school here."Patrick nodded."Then are you ... on a date with Benjamin?" Patrick asked with a playful smile. The two girls accompanying him immediately glared at Margot.Margot was about to reply when Benjamin butted in, "Can't you see we're eating?"Patrick was stunned and quickly nodded. "Sorry, Mr. Inkling, I'll shut up now."Margot glanced at Benjamin. A hint of amusement flashed in her eyes when she saw him engrossed with his food.Patrick's group had gone to pick out their food.Margot was eating sl
"Alright!" Margot nodded and turned her focus to the choices.The variety of food on this street was overwhelming, and she was dazzled by the options. Finally, she stopped in front of a durian stall.Benjamin's jaw dropped. He wondered if it was too late to take back his words.But seeing Margot's excitement over the durians, he decided to keep his mouth shut.He walked over and paid before escaping a few feet away. He sneered at the stall in disgust.Margot burst into laughter at his reaction. She came over and offered the durian to him. "Do you want some?"Benjamin's face immediately twisted in disgust. "Stay away."Margot, however, persisted. "It's really delicious. Try it. I won't lie to you."Benjamin gave her a cold look.He had a scary look in his eyes, but Margot laughed carefreely. "It's fine if you don't want it. I'll enjoy this on my own."Benjamin scoffed at the idea of durian being a delicacy. He glanced at the durian in disdain before turning away again.Afte
"Oh, my poor daughter! How did you end up like this? Who's the heartless bastard responsible for this? I won't let him off the hook!""Don't worry, Jasmine. I will seek justice for you.""Sob ... It hurts so much ..."As they approached the door, they could hear the string of expletives from Jasmine's parents and her cries from inside the hospital room.Margot paused before she glanced at Benjamin. His expression remained indifferent.Patrick glanced at Benjamin. "Should we go in now?"Benjamin huffed, "What? Do you plan on waiting for Christmas before going through the chimney?"Patrick grimaced and quickly opened the door to the hospital room. The people inside turned toward them upon hearing the commotion."Who are you?" Jasmine's father narrowed his eyes at the intrusion.Patrick glanced at Benjamin before he said to Jasmine's father, "I'm Patrick, Jasmine's classmate. I was the one who took her out to eat. Since she was hurt, I feel like I also hold some responsibility. T
Jasmine shivered on the hospital bed. "Mom, Dad, please stop. This has nothing to do with Mr. Inkling. It's my fault. I lost my balance and accidentally spilled the food over myself. It really has nothing to do with Mr. Inkling ..."Despite her words, the fear on her face was evident. Anyone would think she was only saying this for fear of what the Inking family would do to her.Jasmine's mother cried even harder. "My poor daughter ..."Jasmine's father clenched his fists tightly by his sides. He was red with anger. Yet, he didn't dare argue with Benjamin.Meanwhile, the crowd outside the hospital room began to express their disapproval of Benjamin."Young people these days are so arrogant. They don't feel remorse even after they hurt someone.""That's right. Look at the girl's injury. It seems like you really can't mess with the rich folks.""Hmph! Despicable."Whispers of condemnation filled the air, criticizing Benjamin for his actions.However, Benjamin's expression remain
Jasmine dared not meet Margot's gaze, yet Margot continued to stare at her. Suddenly, Jasmine closed her eyes and admitted, "I wanted to pour the hot food on you. Mr. Inkling kicked me when he saw it ..."Her words caused an uproar. The people outside the hospital room were surprised by the turn of events and began murmuring among themselves."I knew it. Why would a wealthy young man lay his hands on a young girl?""Exactly. I had a feeling there would be a twist, and there was.""Hmph! Jealousy is a scary thing."The crowd gradually dispersed. After all, the truth had been revealed. There was no need to stay there any longer.Margot put away her phone and looked at Jasmine's parents. "So, are you still going to blame this on Benjamin?"Jasmine's parents were stunned. Jasmine's father glared fiercely at Jasmine. "I spent all my money on your education, AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME? That's it! Drop out of school today! Come home and tend to the fields with me!"With that, he s
