Chapter 328: No One Saw This Script Coming
Chapter 328: No One Saw This Script Coming
Everyone here is skilled in acting, so naturally, there won’t be any ineligible situations.
Benson Abbott approached Mr. and Mrs. Sutton in a normal manner and even praised the three children of the Sutton Family, each possessing both talent and beauty.
Especially Thea Shaw.
But when his gaze passed over Aurora Sutton, it was distinctly meaningful.
If others didn’t know, they naturally wouldn’t understand his actions.
But knowing the truth now, one understands what meaning his nuanced look conveys.
Mrs. Sutton wished she could go forward and slap him twice, yet she had to maintain her demeanor as the Sutton Family matriarch and could only smile while Mr. Sutton politely conversed with him.
Luckily, the Sutton Family wasn’t particularly valued by the Abbott Family, so after Benson exchanged courteous greetings, he went on to mingle with others.
Thea Shaw noticed Shirley Abbott standing on the other side, chatting with a group of familiar debutantes and young masters, yet her gaze occasionally drifted towards her and Aurora Sutton.
Watching her was easy to understand, but including looking at Aurora Sutton...
Thea Shaw slightly squinted and pulled Aurora Sutton close, whispering, "Aurora, I have a hypothesis."
Aurora Sutton, still in recovery, wore a gown and makeup today but still showed a trace of pallor, appearing somewhat unwell.
Upon hearing this, she asked, "What hypothesis?"
Thea Shaw replied, "I suspect Shirley Abbott might know your identity."
Aurora Sutton immediately widened her eyes; she almost wanted to rush over, but Thea Shaw held her arm: "Don’t look, your acting isn’t convincing — glancing over will make her suspicious. When will Grandpa Kensington and Grandma Kensington arrive?"
Aurora Sutton had to suppress the turmoil within: "They should be here soon."
Anyone else would certainly dare not face Grandpa Kensington and Grandma Kensington.
But for some reason, Benson Abbott invited Grandpa Kensington and Grandma Kensington!
After what he’s done, he dares to invite the two elders over — it’s simply a provocation.
If it were before, the Elder Kensingtons would surely be infuriated, possibly even to the point of harm; Benson Abbott’s ruthlessness is evident.
Now with Aurora, last night Grandma Kensington called Aurora Sutton, scolding Benson Abbott as truly venomous, but at least wasn’t too aggravated, given they’re coming tonight to stir up the scene.
Of course, Benson Abbott believed the Elder Kensingtons definitely wouldn’t come, so he was quite at ease.
Until someone announced, saying: "Old Mr. and Mrs. Kensington have arrived."
Benson Abbott’s complexion visibly darkened, even showing a trace of astonishment.
He clearly didn’t expect someone from the Kensington Family would actually come.
Old Mr. Kensington despised him to the core, how could he possibly come?
In an instant, Benson Abbott was struck with an ominous foreboding.
They are elders, and Benson Abbott must personally attend to them; as he approached, Thea Shaw smiled to Aurora Sutton and said, "Aurora, smile generously, be prepared, soon you won’t just be a Sutton daughter, you’ll also be the only true debutante of the Kensington and Abbott Families — show your grandeur and crush that mistress’s daughter!"
Oddly enough, at an event like today, the mistress herself hadn’t shown up.
Aurora Sutton straightened her spine, then joked with a laugh: "No matter how poised I am, I can’t be more outstanding than you."
It’s evident her mindset is rather calm, able to joke even in such tense moments.
Soon after, the Elder Kensingtons entered.
Everyone in the center of the room saw them and widened their eyes; the entire banquet scene became a frenzy.
This, this...
Old Mr. Kensington almost sought to kill Benson Abbott back then, as everyone knows; yet today, Old Mr. Kensington actually attended Benson Abbott’s event.
What kind of script could be this jaw-dropping?
