From Ruin She Rose novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124

Emily’s whereabouts weren’t a secret; a slight investigation would reveal everything. Thus, proving Lydia’s kidnapping had nothing to do with her wasn’t difficult. Yet the Bennett family didn’t bother to check and hastily blamed Emily, even resorting to violence against her.

Bob shot a reproachful look at Andrew. “The esteemed CEO of the Bennett Group acts impulsively and irrationally, deciding solely on his whims. Mr. Andrew Bennett, aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughing stock?”

His words were indeed harsh, but recalling how Emily had been wronged filled him with indignation on her behalf.

Andrew didn’t argue back. It wasn’t just because he respected Bob, but also due to his guilt towards Emily. He had been too impulsive that day, not just misunderstanding her but also physically attacking her, which was indeed inappropriate.

His anger at the time stemmed from past incidents. He thought, ‘If Emily hadn’t had a history, I wouldn’t have acted so impulsively.’

Sensing the heavy atmosphere, Lucas quickly spoke up, “Since it wasn’t Emily, we need to figure out who ordered the kidnapping. We should look into any leads before the person behind this targets Lydia again.”

Gale and Emma jumped in to lighten the mood, agreeing they needed to uncover the mastermind to ensure Lydia’s safety.

Although Andrew remained silent, it was evident he wanted to move past this issue quickly as well.

Seeing their reactions, Bob’s disappointment in the Bennett family deepened. “You’ve said so much without acknowledging that you wrongly accused Emily.”

When they thought Emily was behind the kidnapping, they had angrily sent her to the hospital. Once the misunderstanding was cleared, they acted like it never happened, not mentioning Emily at all. Even a stranger would feel some guilt in such a situation.

Bob’s questioning rendered the Bennett family speechless.

At this point, Lydia, who had been quietly sitting in the background, spoke up. “Bob, you’ve misunderstood. Andrew just wants to find out who kidnapped me before apologizing to Emily.

“After all, she was wronged because of that person, and I’m sure she also wants to know who’s behind it.”

Given such an easy way out, the Bennett family naturally seized it.

Lucas nodded repeatedly. “Exactly, that’s what we were thinking.”
