Chapter 48 Stalemate
“Thank you? Mr. Landon, if it weren’t for your sister, this wouldn’t have happened today. You still want me to thank you?” Francesca mocked.
Benedict was in the wrong. He paused for a moment and said, “I’ll give you an explanation for what Hannah did…”
“No thanks!” Francesca did not buy it. Benedict and Hannah were biological siblings. How could they fall out. over an outsider like her?
At most, he would just scold her a couple of times.
Francesca didn’t need something so worthless!
She would gain her footing back herself!
“Mr. Landon, if there’s nothing else, please leave,” said Francesca.
Benedict pursed his lips. “There is indeed something. Name a price for the other item at the auction.”
Francesca was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud. “Mr. Landon, didn’t you make your choice? I’m not short of money. Do you still have something to exchange for the other item in the collection?”
With that, she was about to leave when Benedict pulled her back. “As long as it’s within my abilities, you can ask for anything. That collection concerns Grandma’s last wish. You don’t want her to leave with regrets, right?”
“You want to talk about feelings when money is useless? Mr. Landon, you haven’t learned anything else, but you’re quite skilled at guilt–tripping.”
Francesca shook off his hand, patted her sleeves, and left without looking back. What an unlucky way to start the day. First, it was that fat man, and then it was Benedict. They were all here to make things difficult
for her.
“Didn’t you deliberately hold the auction and change your mind at the last minute to attract my attention so that I would look for you?”
Benedict paused. He actually wanted to say that playing hard to get was useless to him. They could talk about money, but nothing more. But he was afraid of falling out with Francesca if he was too direct. After all, he had a favor to ask of her.
Francesca was so angry that she laughed. “Mr. Landon, you’re so ordinary, yet so confident. How did you do it? Does this run in your family? If you can, come and get it. I’ll be waiting for you!”
Benedict was a little helpless. Francesca was no longer the Francesca of the past. He could not do anything to her.
Although he was the notorious head of the mafia, he still could not enter this woman’s heart..
He adjusted his emotions and called his subordinate. “Freeze all of Hannah’s credit cards. Tell her to come home and see me tonight!”
He had to nunish this unruly sister of his to prevent something like today from hannenino again

today?”
“What? Hahaha, I don’t even know what you’re talking about…” Curtis laughed dryly.
As soon as Benedict arrived, the person that Curtis arranged to be there immediately reported it to him. He knew that this matter had gone out of hand.
He definitely could not admit to this. It would be fine as long as that stupid sister of Benedict’s, took responsibility for everything.
Benedict did not pursue the matter. He only warned coldly, “You’d better not know!”
After putting down the phone, Curtis raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. He did not expect Benedict to stand on Raymond’s side. The two of them must have reached some unspeakable
consensus.
It seemed that he could not continue to target that woman…
After thinking about it, he still asked his subordinates to do public relations and apologize for the video. What was taboo was that such a private video had been found. She must have other scandals in her hands. If the stalemate continued, there would be no good outcome. He could only lower his head first.
He didn’t care what the netizens said, but now, he would be embarrassed in front of his friends.
