Chapter 853 I’ll Replace Your Suit
“I’m not going to approve it, of course,” Emmeline said with a smirk. “You should go through the procedure.”

“Emma, can’t you do me a favor? No, can’t you do Adrien and me a favor? Please approve my proposal!”
“I said I’m not approving it,” Emmeline said. “You’ve asked the wrong person!”
She turned around and walked away. Adam pounced on her. “Emma!”
Emmeline quickly dodged aside.
Adam did not give up. He pounced at her again. “Don’t go yet, Emma!”
Just as he was about to get his hands on Emmeline, a figure suddenly appeared between them.

Adam was shoved aside. However, there was a loud sound of cloth tearing.
When the dust settled, everyone realized that Benjamin was suddenly in the room.
They did not know when he had come in.
One of the sleeves of his suit jacket was already torn. Adam had torn it in the tussle.
“Benjamin? Why are you here?” Emmeline was surprised.
Benjamin shot a glance at his torn sleeve and said, “I was eating downstairs.”
“That’s a coincidence,” Emmeline said with a smile.
When Adam pounced on her earlier, she could have easily fought back, but Adam would be injured, and it would become an awkward situation.
Benjamin’s sudden appearance had avoided any further conflict or embarrassment to both parties.
“Mr. York! Why are you here?” Adrien said with a frown.
“Yeah! This is our family business. Outsiders shouldn’t get involved,” Adam said while supporting himself with a chair.
“I’m not an outsider. I’m Ms. Louise’s friend,” Benjamin said with a smile.
“You’re not as close as family,” Adam said while rolling his eyes. “Emma and I are family.”
Benjamin smirked. “Family? If you treat her as family, you two wouldn’t have ganged up and bullied her.”
Adam and Adrien were embarrassed. They did not have a response.
Benjamin York was one of the most influential figures in Struyria, and no one dared to offend him.
Moreover, what he said was the truth. Adam and Adrien were indeed trying to force Emmeline to do something against her will.
“Emma, are you okay?” Benjamin asked while inspecting Emmeline.
“I’m fine,” Emmeline said with a smile.
The only thing was that she had to throw up two million dollars‘ worth fine wine in the toilet. It would be better if the money was donated to charity.
“I’m glad to hear that. Let’s go.” Benjamin draped his arm over Emmeline’s shoulders, and they left the room without looking at the two brothers.
Adam and Adrien were speechless.
A moment later, Adam felt the full effects of the alcohol and collapsed under the chair.
Emmeline and Benjamin went to the underground parking lot, and Emmeline sat in Benjamin’s Bentley.
Benjamin took off the torn suit jacket, tossed it into the trash can, and sat in the backseat next to Emmeline.
“I’ll replace your suit,” Emmeline said. “I should buy another suit for Abel too.”
“Sure.” Benjamin nodded.
Emmeline had bought many of Benjamin’s suits. Moreover, he was her assistant and was like a big brother to her.
The Bentley started to move out. Luca ordered the driver to follow it with the Rolls–Royce.
Half an hour later, the two cars arrived at the parking lot of The Verdaria.
The Verdaria was a high–end shopping mall with many flagship stores of international brands.
Earlier, on the way there, Emmeline said she had thrown up, and her stomach felt empty. Benjamin was worried she might have gastric problems, so he bought her a cup of milk tea at a café.
They went up to the seventh floor by the elevator. Benjamin could find his favorite brands in the men’s section there.
Abel’s favorite brands were on the eighth floor.
Like Abel, Benjamin usually wore black suits with white shirts.
The sales clerks that attended to them were a beautiful middle–aged woman and a young lady.
They opened their mouths wide when they saw Benjamin.
Wow! He’s so handsome!
They quickly went up to him and introduced to him the latest designs.
Benjamin stumbled a step backward, surprised by the hospitality he was receiving.
