Susan glanced at the girl expressionlessly when she heard the girl ask Ben to sign his name on the dress.
On the girl's stunning face, her starry eyes were full of admiration for the man. She lifted the hem of her dress, bashfully but intimately. She seemed to have left all her guard behind.
She was obviously implying that Ben could do anything to her as long as he wanted.
Susan had an impulse to let out a cold laugh.
"I'm sorry, but I won't sign it," Ben firmly rejected.
"Why?" There was a flicker of regret in Isabella's eyes. She looked at Susan pitifully and said, "Mrs. Landor, is it because of your disapproval? I'm just a fan of Mr. Landor. All I want is just his autograph."
Susan raised her eyebrows.
"Susan, don't be so narrow-minded," Leo said with a smile, "Isabella has long admired Ben. It's not a big deal to let him just sign a name."
Penelope echoed, smiling, "That's right. She's still a little girl. Isn't it normal for a fan to ask for her i
autograph?"
Susan couldn't help rolling her eyes.
She thought, "Yes, she's a little girl. And am I an old lady?"
"Mrs. Landor," Isabella uttered as she glanced at Susan timidly, "If it does upset you, then I won't ask for his autograph anymore."
As she spoke, her eyes turned misty as if she had been greatly wronged.
Susan was speechless with shock.
She couldn't help asking in her heart, "Did I ever say a word during the whole process?

Ben said he wouldn't sign it, but why is it me who has become the target of their criticism?
It's as if Ben didn't dare to sign it because I'm too possessive about him."
Ben was also baffled by the situation.
Just as he was about to speak, Susan suddenly chuckled.
She reached out her hand to Isabella. "Isabella, come."
"Mrs. Landor." Isabella walked over to Susan, looking as if she felt flattered.
Susan pulled her to sit down beside her and asked in a very gentle tone, "How old are you?"
Isabella was stunned and was about to answer.
However, Susan continued to ask, "Are you 14 years old?"
Isabella was dumbfounded.
She indeed intended to play naive, but not as naive as a 14-year-old girl!
It was obvious that Susan was being ironic.
"Susan, she's already 25," Leo quickly said.
"You're already 25?" With a shocked look, Susan said apologetically, "Sorry, I thought you were really a little girl when I saw you like this. My little niece in junior high school also liked to pretend to be pitiful. You're just like her."
Isabella was at a loss for words.
She pulled out a smile and said, "Mrs. Landor, you're so humorous."
"No, no, I'm the most boring person," Susan said with a smile, "I just hate those with an affected air. When my niece was being affected in front of me, I just felt an urge to beat her up."
Isabella's expression turned even more awkward.
Susan quickly explained, "I'm only talking about my niece, not you. You're our guest, so I

surely won't beat you.".
Isabella became a little uneasy.
She felt inclined to keep pretending to be pitiful.
However, after hearing what Susan said, she was at a loss for what to do next.
Penelope couldn't stand it anymore. She couldn't help asking, "Susan, why have I never heard you mention your niece before?"
Susan blinked. "Because I don't have one. I was just joking with Isabella. Haha, Isabella, you didn't believe it, did you?"
Isabella stuttered, "I..."
She gave Ben a pleading look.
Ben turned a blind eye to it with a calm face.
He thought to himself, "Susan is teaching this woman a lesson! I can't disturb
Susan.
"Susan, Leo couldn't help but chime in, "are you targeting Isabella just because she admires Ben? It's unnecessary."
After that, he turned to look at Ben and said bluntly, "Ben, you should stop Susan from going too far. It's inappropriate for her to embarrass a guest like this."
"Well, go ahead. I'm listening," Susan said as she looked at Ben with gentle
eyes.
Ben felt his scalp tingling.
At this moment, he realized that Leo was clearly trying to put him into a hopeless
situation.
He thought, "Fine! Since that's the case, I no longer need to show any mercy to
them."
Ben quickly said, "What right do I have to stop Susan? Susan does no wrong! I don't know this woman at all, yet she keeps approaching me without my permission. It's obvious that she has no shame. Therefore, Susan, you don't have to show respect to her as well!"

Ben looked at Leo and said, "She is the guest invited by you. Why didn't you entertain her outside? Why did you take her home? Otherwise, Susan wouldn't
have been infuriated."
Penelope, Leo, and Isabella were all dazed.
After a long time, Leo finally regained his composure.
"Ben, Isabella just asked for your autograph. I thought it was just a trivial
matter..."
"A trivial matter?" Ben questioned with a frown, "I'm not a star in showbiz. How can my handwriting be leaked out at will? Will you bear the consequences for me
if she does anything illegal with my signature?"
Ben pulled a long face. The atmosphere in the room instantly became cold.
Isabella shivered and hurriedly explained, "I... I truly didn't mean that. Mr. Landor,
I asked for your autograph only out of admiration for you."
As she spoke, she peered at Ben with her watery eyes.
Ben glanced at her in disgust. "I don't have an obligation to believe your claim. I feel like you're up to no good. Tell me, are you a spy sent by one of my
competitors?"
Isabella was startled. "I... I'm not."
She had never expected Ben to be so difficult to deal with, so she could only look
to Leo for help.
Leo was about to speak when Ben glanced at him suspiciously and said, "This
woman came with you. What are you trying to do? Leo, we're brothers. How can
you help an outsider set me up?"
Leo was dumbstruck. "Ben! It's just an autograph. Your accusation isn't
necessary."
"You are too inexperienced to know how dangerous the outside world is. With merely an autograph, many evil deeds can be done," Ben said coldly, "I'm afraid
you'll be used by others, Leo."
"L..." Leo was at a loss.

"Stop it." Ben came to a conclusion. "Don't randomly bring any nobody home
again. Not. only Susan feels annoyed, but I'm also angry."
Isabella kept her head down, her face already ashen.

Isabella quickly nodded and echoed, "Mr. Landor, you've really misunderstood."
"You said I'd misunderstood?" Ben furrowed his brows and said straightforwardly,
"Then, don't do anything to make me misunderstand anymore."
He was truly insolent in their eyes. Isabella's face instantly drained of color.

Leo and Isabella were once again rendered speechless.
They felt like they were about to lose their mind out of anger.
