Daddy, You Got The Wrong Mommy-Chapter 417: As Expected, It’s a Setup
Listening to Benjamin Harper’s account, Amelia Miles clenched her fingers tightly in anger.
Clearly, that Xena Walsh was biting back after failing to gain affection.
"Benjamin, don’t worry. Tom and I will get to the bottom of this and clear your name."
Right now, the priority is to find Xena Walsh and see what she wants.
The best strategy would be if she agrees to drop the charges and clarify to everyone that it was a misunderstanding.
But looking at the current situation, it’s going to be tough to make her change her story.
"Thank you, Elly."
Benjamin Harper smiled at Amelia Miles, feeling a bit helpless.
He never imagined he’d be smeared like this one day.
It’s really hard to explain these kinds of things.
After all, in the entertainment industry, the world generally considers the waters too deep.
Suddenly, this situation arose, and public opinion online sided entirely with that woman.
He realized he couldn’t argue his case easily.
"Oh, Annie is here too. She seems anxious."
Amelia Miles remembered Serena Wells was outside and spoke up.
Benjamin Harper paused, "Elly, can you keep an eye on her for me? Because of me, some people don’t like her, and I’m worried about her safety."
Olivia Fletcher, having been in the entertainment industry for so long, is not exactly kind-hearted or soft.
He’s even suspicious whether his sudden trouble could be related to Olivia Fletcher.
After all, he just clarified publicly that there was no personal relationship with her.
For someone like her, used to being adored, if she gets upset, she might find ways to make others unhappy.
"Alright, I understand."
Amelia Miles responded, chatted with Benjamin Harper a bit more, and then left the reception room.
Once outside, she didn’t see Serena Wells.
Without Serena Wells’ phone number, Amelia Miles spent quite a bit of time finally getting it.
At that time, Serena Wells was on her way to a hotel.
After receiving Amelia Miles’ call, she explained the situation to her.
"Elly, I’m on my way to the Orchid Delight Hotel."
"What are you doing going to the hotel?"
"Xena Walsh is staying there. I’m going to confront her face to face."
Her detective uncle quickly found out where Xena Walsh was staying, so she hurried over.
"Are you going alone? Be careful, I’ll be right there."
Amelia Miles frowned, quickly left the police station, and drove to the Orchid Delight Hotel.
Orchid Delight Hotel, in a suite.
Xena Walsh was on the phone with Ru Townsend.
"Miss Townsend, I don’t want to ruin Benjamin Harper, but he would rather go to jail than admit anything. What do I do now? I kind of regret forcing him."
Yesterday, in broad daylight, she brought him food, only to be heartlessly refused.
Then Ru Townsend appeared, asking if she wanted to become a phoenix like Serena Wells.
Of course, she wanted it!
Serena Wells, the daughter of a murderer, could attract Benjamin Harper’s attention; she couldn’t believe he wouldn’t notice her!
She just needed an opportunity.
After asking her, Ru Townsend orchestrated all of this.
Her intention was to scare Benjamin Harper enough to agree to her demands.
But she didn’t expect the man to ignore her and just leave.
What surprised her more was the reporters outside blocking her.
With things like this, she had no choice but to continue the act.
Now she just hopes Benjamin Harper will admit she’s his girlfriend so that all this can end.
Otherwise, she doesn’t know what the consequences might be.
She liked Benjamin Harper, but never intended for him to end up in jail.
If he doesn’t cave in, and his fans find out she framed him, she’d be in deep trouble.
"Don’t worry, he’s probably angry right now. Let him suffer for a couple of days; once he figures things out, he’ll naturally agree to marry you."
Ru Townsend spoke coolly.
"Miss Townsend, will he really give in?"
Xena Walsh was eager for confirmation.
"Of course, he’s not foolish. He wouldn’t ruin himself over pride, would he?"
Ru Townsend smiled, then hung up the call.
Her eyes couldn’t hide the delight and coldness.
Benjamin Harper, do you regret refusing her now?
This is the price of rejecting her!
Either he goes to jail or marries a woman he doesn’t like.
Let’s see if it doesn’t disgust him!
In the hotel, Ru Townsend hung up the phone, letting out a long sigh.
She had nowhere to go right now and could only temporarily stay in the hotel Ru Townsend prepared for her.
After all, reporters and Benjamin Harper’s fans out there were looking for her; stepping out now wouldn’t be pretty. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Ding dong, the doorbell rang.
Xena Walsh was startled, a hint of vigilance flashing across her face.
She quickly walked to the door, looked through the peephole, and was relieved to see her boyfriend standing outside.
Opening the door, she pulled the man inside.
"I’m starving; why are you only here now?"
The man wearing glasses was tall and skinny.
He adjusted his glasses and frowned, "Things got big; what’s the plan now?"
He was the waiter who helped Benjamin Harper upstairs.
As Xena Walsh’s boyfriend, he thought it would be easy to play along with Xena Walsh’s scheme to get some money from Benjamin Harper but didn’t expect it would escalate.
Benjamin Harper was taken to the police station.
Now the police were investigating the matter.
The more he thought about it, the more nervous he became.
He didn’t want to ruin his future over this.
"What plan? Just wait."
Xena Walsh placed the food on the table and opened the container, "Once he figures things out, he’ll surely marry... No, he’ll give us some money to settle things quietly."
Xena Walsh’s eyes flashed, changing the phrase "marry me" to a different saying.
This was her boyfriend, cooperating with her schemes, so naturally, she couldn’t reveal her real intentions.
Once she truly married Benjamin Harper, she’d give him some money to get rid of him.
"Xena, you don’t really plan to marry Benjamin Harper, do you?"
The man detected something was off, laughing coldly, "I tell you, don’t dream about it. Who do you think Benjamin Harper is? Do you think he would even consider you?"
"Why wouldn’t he consider me? He even noticed Serena Wells, a murderer’s daughter, so why not me?"
Xena Walsh felt indignant, raising her eyes to shout.
Hearing this, the man got angry, "Xena, you really think that way? You’re using me? You plan to kick me aside once things are done? What the hell do you take me for?"
"Hey, why are you so angry? Let’s talk things through properly!"
"Talk? We agreed to play a scam, get some money from Benjamin Harper, and then get married. Try ditching me."
"..."
At the barely closed door, Serena Wells, who rushed over, was recording inside with her phone.
She didn’t expect to hear such explosive information.
Indeed, this was a setup.
It was Xena Walsh and someone else conspiring to extort.
With this recording, she could clear Benjamin Harper’s name.
"Who are you looking for?"
A resident came out, seeing Serena Wells sneaking around at the door, suspiciously asking.
Serena Wells was startled and kicked the door, alarming those inside.
"Who’s there?"
It’s over.
She’s been discovered.
Serena Wells turned around and ran.
