Secret Marriage, High-Profile Pampering!-Chapter 914: Jing, Don’t Go Too Far

"So?" Watt Bennet lazily uttered two words, not denying anything.

"Why did you do it?" Summer Sutton pressed on.

Watt Bennet’s gaze lingered slightly after her words.

Because he didn’t like seeing her with Ryan Walyon!

He didn’t speak, and Summer Sutton was even more infuriated.

Ever since she knew Watt Bennet moved out that night, her resentment towards him had been heavy.

Tonight, his deliberate interference made all the anger in Summer Sutton’s heart burn even more fiercely.

Unable to hold back her anger, Summer Sutton swung her arm to hit him, but as soon as her hand was raised, he gently hooked her calf with the tip of his foot, causing Summer Sutton’s body to lose balance and fall towards him.

Thud!

Her body crashed into his firm chest, and the muffled sound made Summer Sutton’s head a bit dizzy.

"Damn you, Bennet!" she cursed through gritted teeth. Summer Sutton lifted her face, her eyes filled with fire as she looked at him.

Watt Bennet ignored her words, holding her sharp chin with his fingers as he studied her face covered in exquisite makeup. His voice was very, very soft, "I told you not to get close to him."

After pausing for a moment, he added, "Not just him, no man is allowed!"

Summer Sutton found his words somewhat laughable, her lips curled as she sarcastically retorted, "And what capacity is Mr. Bennet speaking from now?"

Her words seemed to stun Watt Bennet for a moment.

"You’ve also said that you’re not my one. Since you’re not him, you have no reason to demand anything from me." Summer Sutton casually tossed out a sentence, withdrew from his embrace, and turned to leave the room.

When she was almost at the door, she heard Watt Bennet call out from behind, "Summer!"

He seemed eager to say something, his voice slightly urgent.

Summer Sutton paused her steps, her peripheral vision sweeping in his direction, quietly waiting for his next words.

Watt Bennet’s gaze was deep as he looked at her, as if he was struggling with something, his lips moved several times.

Her heart was beating fast, the longer he stayed silent, the more anxious she became.

She thought he would say what she most wanted to hear.

She thought tonight’s jealousy might force him to clarify everything to her.

Who would’ve thought, after a long silence, he only said, "Your dress isn’t dry yet."

All of Summer Sutton’s expectations, like a glass bottle smashed on the ground, shattered instantly.

Her face stiffened, she turned her head, picked up a stuffed toy within reach, and threw it at him, "You’re so hateful!" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

She threw the words at him, and sprinted towards the award ceremony venue.

Watt Bennet sat stiffly, his mind full of the words she left as she departed.

Would she hate him?

At the thought of this, Watt Bennet’s mouth twisted with a bittersweet smile.

...

He stayed in the lounge for quite some time. When he came out, Lorraine Hughes happened to arrive at his table with a drink, intending to toast him.

"Mr. Bennet, hello, I’m Lorraine Hughes!" Lorraine smiled, then downed her own glass of wine.

Lily Winslow, who was also sitting nearby, was initially displeased because Lorraine had been staring at Watt Bennet for too long on stage.

Seeing Lorraine come over to propose a toast, Lily Winslow’s dissatisfaction grew.

Not knowing the domestic celebrities, Watt Bennet hadn’t spoken yet when Lily Winslow stood up and started to speak sharply, "Who are you? What’s your intention by acting so nice for no reason? Does my Brother Watt even know you?"
