Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 36

Neither Theodore nor Claudia noticed Ben coming back, both of them startled and frightened by his abrupt and deep voice.

Theodore froze in astonishment, feeling restless and unsettled. He rose to his feet at once and greeted Ben flatteringly, “My son-in-law is back!”

It didn’t bother Theodore at all calling Ben his “son-in-law”.

However, under his obsequious manner was a snobbish core.

Ben remained grim, his expression unchanged at all. He didn’t even spare a glance at Theodore, but paced back and forth steadily in the spacious living room, his voice low and cold.

“If I didn’t know any better, you must have been interested in CCM Project for a long time, Mr. Raba!”

Embarrassed, Theodore didn’t know how to answer Ben and gave a wry smile. “Well, not exactly. It’s just that the Evans Group is the perfect one to carry out this project. Besides, you must be very clear about our status quo, Ben!”

Ben looked up, his masculine features exuding ferocity, and he said in a flat but serious tone.

“Does it matter whether I’m clear about it or not?”

No matter the Evans Group went bankrupt or shut down, even if it disappeared from this world tomorrow, it had nothing to do with Ben.

Theodore was lost for words for a moment.

Standing there awkwardly, Theodore felt as if he was a clown, his cheeks burning with embarrassment.

It was after Theodore paused for a long while that he came up with a reply. “Well, the Evans Group and the Crawford Group are connected by marriage, so we share weal or woe! Ben, would you please help us for the sake of it?”

Hardly had Theodore finished his sentence than Ben gave a sneer. He curled his lips contemptuously and turned to squint at Theodore. “Of course I can help! But is there any relationship between the Evans Group and you, Mr. Raba?”

“Well...”

For the second time, Theodore was lost for words!

It was widely known that Blair married Theodore after her husband died. Meanwhile, she gave the whole Evans Group, which belonged to her late ex-husband, to her current husband, and this daring deed of Blair’s had been denounced by the public.

For all these years, Theodore had been criticized for living off a woman, and people had said many harsh words against him.

Now that Ben wasn’t going to offer help, there was no need for Theodore to stay, so he said, “I have some business to attend to. I have to go, Ben.”

Theodore headed for the door while Ben looked at Claudia with his deep eyes. He stared at her for a few seconds before walking outside.

It didn't occur to Theodore that Ben would follow him out. He felt extremely flattered and turned around in a hurry, but before he could say anything, Ben pelted him with hailstones of words.

“Don’t ever think of taking advantage of Claudia. She's my wife, not your daughter!”

Ben said bluntly, his voice grim.

Swallowing helplessly, Theodore wanted to retort, but was shut up by Ben’s domineering aura.

Watching Theodore speeding off, Ben leaned against the door, poker-faced.

He looked down slightly, mixed emotions welling up inside him, but at last, he settled down.

When Claudia went upstairs, she received a text message from Kim.

“What happened? I was on a business trip and just came back. I heard that you suffered from an allergy. What happened exactly?”

“Please reply ASAP! Or I will come to see you. What happened on earth?”
