You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 545

Arissa stopped in her tracks abruptly.

Furrowing his brows, Benjamin lowered his gaze at her. “She's your grandma?”

Arissa had a sullen look on her face. “No!”

Turning around, she sneered, “I don't have a grandma like you, so stop playing victim just because you're an elder. You don't deserve it at all. Also, don't call me your granddaughter just because you want me to pay for your things, as it has nothing to do with me at all!”

Finley stared at her in disbelief. “Aren't you my granddaughter?”

Arissa was amused. “Am I only your granddaughter whenever you need money? When you don't, do I turn into a jinx? Given how vicious you are, shouldn't you learn to have a heart if you want me to show you some respect?”

By then, a scowl had replaced the smile on her face.

“From the day you sold me off five years ago, I no longer have anything to do with all of you. In fact, I will make sure you are punished by the law for what you have done. Go back and tell your son that it's just a matter of time before I settle this score with him!”

Even though Danna was unforgivable, Regan was worse.

If he hadn't plotted against her, Danna wouldn't have had the opportunity to do the same later. Also, she and her children wouldn't have had a close shave with death.

“You, how can you be so cruel?”

Finley's eyes opened so wide that they could pop out anytime.

Just when the bodyguard stepped forward to slap her, Finley held onto her cheeks frantically. “Don't hit me!”

“If you dare continue ranting, it will be more than just a slap!” the bodyguard warned.

When she saw the usually arrogant Finley terrified into silence, Arissa averted her gaze.

“Let's go.”

She didn't want to spend another moment together with Finley, for the latter disgusted her.

After giving his bodyguard a look, Benjamin left together with Arissa.

Inside the car, she put the shopping bags aside.

She had intended to get Mary some shoes, but her mood was spoiled by her encounter with Finley. Hence, she decided to get them next time.

Benjamin handed her a water bottle. “Drink some hot water.”

Arissa received it and took a few mouthfuls.

When she saw him staring at her, she turned to look at him.

“I'm fine!”

Benjamin's eyes glistened slightly. “Has that old lady always treated you that way?”

His expression was exceptionally gloomy.

“Other than having a filthy mouth, she's all right,” Arissa replied in a nonchalant tone, for she had gotten used to it.

It was only when Finley disparaged her mother that she lost her temper.

In response, Benjamin pulled her into his embrace and patted her on the head.

“When someone derides you like that the next time, you should strike first instead of standing there cluelessly, waiting to be hit.”

Arissa felt a jolt in a heart.

“Mmm-hmm!”

Benjamin stared at her intently, cognizant of her bad mood. “What did you buy?”

“I bought clothes for both Tim and Mdm. Mary. Also, I got Tim a pair of shoes.”

“Let me see.”

Benjamin brought the bags over and took out the top she bought for Tim. “Mmm-hmm, this suits him. He looks good in white given how tan he is.”
