Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 792

When Mabel brought up Lydia, Benjamin’s face twisted with anger.

“How was I supposed to know that a girl from some poor little village had the Jefferson family behind her? If I’d known, I never would have let Rosie get involved with her.”

“That’s not the way to look at it, Mr. Gibson.”

Cameron and Kylie suddenly appeared. Benjamin was caught off guard. He hadn’t expected to see them, especially not Kylie. She’d cut ties with the Robinson family decades ago. What was she doing back now?

“So if she really had been just another college student with no one to rely on, you think it would’ve been fine for you to bully her as much as you wanted?” Kylie shot back, her voice sharp and angry.

Luckily, Connor had been with Lydia in the car that day. Luckily, Lydia knew how to protect herself. How was a normal eighteen-year-old girl supposed to deal with kidnappers? These people had no respect for the law. They did whatever they wanted.

Benjamin looked down, struggling to meet anyone’s eyes. Then, he seemed to think of something and looked up at the couple.

“Mr. Norwood. Mrs. Norwood. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Connor and Lydia are awfully close. Don’t come crying when someone steals your son-in-law right out from under you.”

Cameron and Kylie just laughed at Benjamin’s smug face.

“You can’t even handle your own family’s mess. Don’t try to butt into ours.”

Mabel looked completely fed up. She sneered, “Just leave. Go talk to Jackson or whoever. Your problems aren’t our problems, and honestly, we’re not interested.”

Benjamin stomped his foot, furious. “Mabel!”

“Benjamin, I’m warning you. This is not the place to raise your voice. Get out. Now!” Mabel’s patience snapped.

“Fine. You’re really not going to help me, are you?” Benjamin was shaking with rage.
