Benson 241
Chapter 241 The Confrontation of Truth
What is going on here?
Benson remained silent, and his silence felt particularly piercing in the private room.
The wine glass gently rotated between his fingers, the liquid inside rippling slightly, reflecting the dim lights around.
Each subtle shake seemed to mirror the turmoil in his heart.
The air was thick with the strong scent of alcohol, mixed with a stifling, oppressive atmosphere.
William lounged on the sofa, his eyes filled with worry and unease.
He observed Benson’s reaction, a faint smile tugging at his lips.
With a touch of helplessness in his voice, he said, So, that’s Steven’s woman. You better be careful, or he’ll come knocking. The state you’re in now, it’s really worrying.”
As soon as William finished speaking, the door to the private room creaked open.
Steven walked into the room steadily, each step exuding a calm confidence, as if everything was under his control.
His suit was immaculate, his tie neatly in place, and a faintly cynical smile played on his lips.
He scanned the room, finally locking eyes with Benson, and smiled lightly. “Mr. Benson, are you enjoying yourself lately?”
Benson’s expression remained unchanged, his eyes cold and indifferent.
He barely lifted his eyelids, his gaze showing a hint of exhaustion and disdain. “Of course, I’m enjoying myself.”
Steven had been in Mexico for a while, yet he knew Olivia’s situation inside out.
He leaned slightly, casually resting against the back of the chair, a faint smile lingering on his face.
As if anticipating Benson’s response, he asked, “Is my wife’s performance to your satisfaction, Mr.
Benson?”
Benson shot him a cold glance, his eyes filled with indifference and contempt. “Very satisfied. If you hadn’t shown up, I’d be even more satisfied.”
To others, his words might carry a hint of misunderstanding.
A flash of anger crossed Steven’s face, but he quickly regained his composure.
He sneered, his voice laced with danger. “But I’m not very satisfied.” His voice was sharp and threatening.
The tension in the air was palpable, like a tightly strung cord, ready to snap at any moment.
Benson’s gaze collided with Steven’s in the air, as if invisible sparks were igniting between them.
The silence between them grew heavier, and the tension in the room became increasingly unbearable.
Steven’s voice finally broke the silence, his tone filled with mockery and ridicule.
“Mr. Benson, though you seem very satisfied, I have some unfortunate news for you. The person you’re looking for isn’t Olivia.”

Benson’s expression didn’t change at all. He sat quietly, his gaze deep as the ocean.
Despite Steven’s provocative words, Benson’s inner turmoil remained hidden.
Steven’s words were like a thorn, trying to stir his emotions, but all they elicited was a deeper silence.
Slowly, Benson took out a cigarette from his pocket, his fingers trembling slightly.
His movements were deliberate, almost ceremonial, as if he was trying to calm the storm within.
The lighter clicked open with a crisp sound, igniting the tobacco, and he slowly exhaled a plume of
smoke.
The smoke swirled in the air, obscuring his face, as if also concealing the complex emotions in his heart.
Through the haze, his eyes were cold and deep, staring straight at Steven.
His tone was laced with extreme indifference and sarcasm. “Are you here to laugh at me?”
Steven’s lips curled into a mocking smile, a cunning light flashing in his eyes.
His tone was playful and challenging. “When did you realize the person you were looking for was
Yvonne?”
His voice cut through the tension like a knife, shocking Matthew and William.
Their eyes widened, exchanging glances filled with disbelief.
Their reactions were as if they had been struck by lightning, stunned and unable to comprehend what was happening.
Their minds were in turmoil, completely unable to grasp the situation before them.
The smoke in the air thickened, as if sensing the tension among the four men.
Steven’s words seemed to have triggered some
unease, making the room’s atmosphere even more charged.
Though Steven tried to provoke with a mocking tone, Benson’s calm demeanor left him somewhat
disappointed.
Benson didn’t directly respond to Steven’s question.

Instead, he retorted with a tone mixed with sorrow and sarcasm, “Do I look like someone with a broken
mind?”
His voice carried a hint of weariness and defiance, as if challenging Steven’s unreasonable provocation.
Despite the growing turbulence in his heart due to Steven’s taunts, Benson chose to remain silent.
He knew that the best way to handle such a
situation was with calmness.
Benson wasn’t a fool. His sharp instincts had long made him suspicious of Olivia’s odd behavior.
Her reactions had already aroused his suspicions especially considering her attitude in St. George.
He had deep doubts about her true identity.
Although Steven tried to expose the truth through provocation, Benson was no longer the person who could be easily deceived.
He had given Olivia many chances, hoping she
would explain everything.
However, her silence and evasiveness only deepened his doubts.
The relationship between Yvonne and Olivia only added to his unease, making him feel deeply betrayed.
His heart was filled with disappointment and confusion, emotions clearly reflected in his eyes.
William and Matthew were still in shock, their minds
racing with questions.
Steven’s actions had left them utterly baffled, to the point where they began to question their own understanding of the situation.
Steven, who had initially intended to mock Benson for his own satisfaction, was caught off guard by Benson’s awareness, rendering his plan
meaningless.
Confidently, Steven poured himself a glass of wine, the liquid shimmering faintly in the glass. He set the glass down, as if declaring his victory.
His voice carried a hint of coldness and provocation, “You’re not crazy, but you found the wrong person, didn’t you?”
With that, he strode out, leaving behind a room filled with smoke and silence.

Benson’s gaze deepened as he watched Steven leave, his heart still in turmoil.
Though Steven’s provocation hadn’t visibly shaken him, his heart was already filled with complex
emotions.
The atmosphere in the room remained tense and heavy, as if on the brink of eruption.
Benson had always been waiting for Yvonne’s explanation.
No matter what her reasons were for deceiving him, even if she had played him for a fool, selling the company to help Olivia, as long as she explained, everything would be forgiven.
But her reaction, much like his repeated attempts to test her, was destined to disappoint him.
With Robert constantly pressing him, his anger had been building up.

become independent, and she no longer needed to report to Taylor Group headquarters.
Their relationship remained strained, with neither willing to back down.
She wouldn’t see him, yet expected him to sign the divorce papers without a fuss?
