Lingering Passion: Mr. Sutton Wants to be Your Male Lead!-Chapter 46: Courting Death

Staring at the car tail for a long time, Sue Woods finally found her voice again.

"Stella, is that guy mentally okay?"

Stella Grant said, "No problem."

Afterwards, realizing she didn’t know Ben Lawson well either, she pondered before adding, "There shouldn’t be."

Anyway, today’s ordeal for Sue Woods was finally over without incident.

After a few minutes, Sue Woods got into the car with Stella Grant.

Stella Grant fastened her seatbelt, took out a bottle of mineral water from the drawer, opened it, and handed it to Sue Woods to calm her nerves.

Sue Woods took a sip and said mournfully, "I feel like I’ve signed an unequal treaty of national humiliation."

Stella Grant knew what she meant, smiled and said, "You don’t have to sign it, do you have five million? Even four million would do."

Sue Woods’ soft spot was hit, and she said mournfully, "No."

Stella Grant, "Money makes the devil turn the mill, without it, you have to push it yourself."

Sue Woods, "Heartbreaking."

Stella Grant said, "Reality is heartbreaking."

After driving for a while, Sue Woods gradually accepted the fact and began to tell Stella Grant about last night.

"I was really just being righteous."

"When I threw the paint, I thought I was full of a sense of justice."

"You know that colleague I told you about, just a girl in her early twenties, very timid, usually depends on me for protection at work."

Stella Grant wasn’t in the mood for these words, her mind was all about Ben Lawson being her benefactor.

The initial excitement of meeting someone special had passed, and now, something felt off.

Sue Woods rambled on for a while and, seeing Stella Grant unresponsive, reached out and gave her a push, "Why are you ignoring me?"

Stella Grant turned to look at Sue Woods, her mind racing, and asked, "Didn’t you say last night you caught him because you and your colleague saw him having dinner with a girl? How can you misidentify someone when you saw him in person?"

Sue Woods was embarrassed, "Don’t mention it, she meant the right side, I was looking where she pointed."

Who would have thought, the two brothers were dating in the same place.

Anyway.

These two brothers are definitely up to no good.

Sue Woods secretly labeled Ben Lawson in her mind.

But thinking of how Ben Lawson saved her from such a big compensation, Sue Woods raised her assessment of him a bit in her heart, at least he’s better than his brother Kyle Lawson.

When Sue Woods finished speaking, Stella Grant said helplessly, "Try to be more cautious in the future."

Sue Woods sighed, "I just wanted to do a good deed."

Stella Grant said, "I’m afraid you won’t succeed in your good deed and end up losing the bride and her army."

Sue Woods was speechless.

Indeed, if not for Stella Grant’s face today, she would likely have faced legal trouble.

Thinking about Stella Grant’s connections, Sue Woods curiously asked, "How do you know Ben Lawson?"

She clearly remembered telling Stella Grant about the stakeout last night, and she had no reaction then.

Stella Grant gripped the steering wheel and said, "Do you remember the sponsor when I was studying?"

Sue Woods nodded like a pecking chicken, "Of course, I heard he was a young handsome guy, and often wrote to you, I even teased you, saying you had a phone but insisted on writing letters, acting like..."

Before Sue Woods could finish her sentence, Stella Grant interrupted her, "That person is Ben Lawson."

Sue Woods was astonished, "What?"

Stella Grant, "When he wrote to me, he used the alias ’Phoebe’."

Sue Woods was so shocked she couldn’t close her mouth, "..."

She did hear Ben Lawson ask Stella Grant if she remembered ’Phoebe’.

After hearing Stella Grant’s explanation, Sue Woods felt her brain was overheating, and she asked with a conflicted expression, "Are you sure?"

Stella Grant truthfully replied, "Not sure, but this name is not something ordinary people would know."

Sue Woods still remembered the way Stella Grant used to send and receive letters, "But I always felt Ben Lawson..." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

didn’t seem like the type to quietly sit down and write letters.

He’s so flamboyant.

Not to mention his flashy dress style.

If you said he was a night club regular, she would believe it, but if you said he was an elegant gentleman writing letters, she wouldn’t believe it even if you insisted.

At this moment, the ’night club regular’ Ben Lawson was sitting in the car talking on the phone with Silas Sutton, his tone flattering, attentive, yet timid, "Mr. Sutton, if, I mean if, you did a good deed but someone else took the credit, how would you react?"

Silas Sutton coldly responded, "It depends on the good deed."

Ben Lawson, "What if it’s being a sponsor?"

Silas Sutton paused while flipping through the contract, his voice as cold as ice, "Are you looking for trouble?"
