Chapter 253 Do You Love Me?

• “I don’t mind. She’s not just mad at me—she’s mad at you too. She just doesn’t dare show it to you, so she dumps it all on me. Honestly, that’s fine. She needs a way to vent, or that resentment will only keep piling up. And if you go lecture her, she’ll think you’re taking my side, which will only make her hate both of us more.”
• “So the best move is to act like you don’t know a thing. If she wants to make a scene, let her. When she’s worn herself out and cools down, she’ll think it through, and it’ll sort itself out. Plus, you’re right—she’s not actually unreasonable. She’s been picking on me and trying to push me out of the company, sure, but she hasn’t done anything truly over the line. That tells me she’s kind at heart. She’s not likely to really hurt me.” Ben Walton explained slowly.
• “Ben, thank you for standing up for me like this.” Of course Vincy Shaw understood all that. But since Ben Walton was the one taking the hits, she couldn’t make that call for him. Now that Ben offered on his own, Vincy felt a weight lift—and it moved her.
