“I’m neither leaving nor getting a divorce,” contradicted Susan with her clenched teeth.
“Susan. I know you’re afraid of offending the Landor family and afflict our family thereby. Don’t worry. Mr. Landor and Ben are open–minded.”
“Yes, Susan. Come home with us. Your bedroom has been furnished.”
Regardless of Susan’s resistance, they used all their strength to drag her out of the house.
“Lergo of me!” Susan’s heart ached.
It never occurred to her that she was wrong. The place she used to think as hell was actually the paradise she longed for.
The place where she grew up turned out to be the hell to her.
It cost too much for her to escape from the abyss of suffering. Now she was forced to go back again.
She didn’t want to accept it.
But Carl and Jane’s words were equivalent to her scorn on the Landor family.
Knowing that she was unwilling to marry Ben, Mr. Landor and Ben was very possible to let her go.
Was there no other choice for her to stay here and shun the fate to be a transfusion tool?
The light in Susan eyes dimmed little by little.
Could this be her destiny?
Just as she was about to be dragged out of the living room, Ben faintly voiced, “Stop them.”
The previously motionless servants instantly blocked the way.
Carl and Jane had no choice but to stop.
Carl turned around and looked at Ben ingratiatingly, “Mr. Landor, she didn’t want to marry you. You don’t need to force her, do you?”
“Force her?” Ben sneered.
Step by step, he walked over and ordered indifferently, “Let go of her.”
Carl and Jane subconsciously released their hands.
Ben stared at Susan, “Do you want to go back?”
With tears in her eyes, Susan shook her head.

Ben’s gaze moved slightly, “You said before that you would never cry.”
She gritted her teeth, “I’m not crying.”
She was just…
So despondent.
“What’s the problem with your parents? They are determined to destroy you!
“You’re not crying?” Ben questioned inside.
Ben didn’t call her bluff as a soft light flashed across his eyes. “If you don’t want to, no one can take
you away.”
His tone was calm, but convincing.
Susan almost burst into tears, but this time she held them back.
“Go back. Ben touched Susan’s head.
He knew that Susan was reluctant to marry him.
On the day of the wedding, she told the truth.
She married him because it was her only option.
At that time, he thought she was honest.
And thinking about it now, he felt sorry.

When Carl stated that she cried for several days at the news of the marriage, he felt even more
heartbroken.
Ben felt increasingly bitter,
Was she… so aggrieved?
If she had the alternative, would she still be Mrs. Landor?
Although he wanted to deceive himself, Ben knew the answer very well.
If there existed other choices, no one would marry him.
Susan… was driven to the wall.
Her hidden thoughts were revealed by Carl, which made Ben sentimental. That was why he didn’t stop them at the beginning.
But she was really about to be taken away.

He commanded subconsciously.
For that reason, everything went well.
Finally, he kept her.
Ben told himself.
That didn’t mean his reluctance to leave her, or his passion for her.
He just couldn’t bear to see Susan being tricked by her parents. That was the thing.
After all, he was a kind and warm–hearted person.

“Mr. Landor,” Carl was a little anxious, “you have your power and fortune, so attractive to women. Susan is unwilling to stay here. It is futile to force her.”
Finishing that, he winked at Jane.
“Please, let Susan go!” Jane understood his implication and was about to kneel down.
Penelope, at the sight of the scene, was shocked all of a sudden.
She took out her phone in private, planning to make a move.
Jane was about to kneel down beside Ben, begging him to let her daughter go!
If the subsequent story went public, Ben would definitely become a joke.
However, Penelope was disappointed,
Jane failed.
It was Susan who held Jane tightly at the very beginning.
Without any word, Susan knelt down before Janc.
“Susan… You… Jane froze.
How could Susan be faster than Jane?
Jane was going to finish her show but the servants of the Landor family had already come to their senses They were responsive at that moment. There was no way for Jane to gain another chance.
“What are you doing?” Ben frowned and pulled Susan up.
Susan was lifted up, and then she said sadly, “Ben, you shouldn’t have pulled me. If I don’t so, won’t let me go.”
Ben was silent.

Indeed, Susan was sad at the beginning….
But at this time…
He seemed to know that Susan was about to act.
“Susan, what are you talking about? We can’t understand.” Jane forced a smile.

“Dad, mom!” Susan’s voice was indignant. “You’re taking me away and forcing me to divorce. Do you love me?”
“Of course, all the parents love their children,” answered Carl subconsciously.
“The word ‘parents‘ is a cloak to cover your intention, no matter how vicious your behavior is.
“Is it true that all the parents love their children?
“No, it’s not.” Susan thought.
At least, since she was a child, Susan had never felt a hint of love from Carl and Jane.
“You really love me?” Susan’s eyes changed.
Sadness and desperation arose in her eyes..
Susan spoke in a whisper, “Love me? Over the past twenty years, you have been asking me to donate blood to Yana. Do you remember when it started?”
Carl’s eyes flashed, “Yana is not in good health. You’re sisters. Isn’t it a normal thing to transfuse to her?”
“Right! Susan, Yana is your sister,” added Jane hurriedly.
Susan laughed mockingly and continued, “It’s my seventh birthday, our birthday! In previous years, you said that Yana needed more attention due to her health condition. She thus received many gifts while I had none. But that day, mom, you gave me a new dress. At the same time, Yana received lots of new dresses stuffed with her room. I was really cheerful. That was my first birthday present after
all.
“Susan, don’t whine at me. For Yana’s health, I need to pay more attention to her,” explained Jane hurriedly.
Susan lowered her eyes and added quietly, “Then that night, I was sent to the hospital. According to your words, Yana’s illness required regular blood transfusion. When I was seven years old, I was forcibly taken away 200cc.”
“At that juncture, what could Mom and Dad do?” Carl argued.
Susan posed a cold glance at him.
Carl’s heart skipped a beat.
Yana told him that Susan had changed.
He didn’t believe Yana’s words at first. In his mind, Susan was supported only by Ben. Without Ben, she was still the coward to be controlled easily.
However, Susan’s glance gave him made him chill.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
