Chapter 235 Don’t Call Me That

With a son as outstanding as Benjamin, Olivia couldn’t help but feel overshadowed by Susan. Meanwhile, Olivia’s whole life revolved around Geraldine, which strained their relationship. “I’m just helping replace a match for our dear Geraldine. What’s it to you? By the way, I heard Benjamin had sent Celia to Astana. So it’s not really your place to be concerned, is it?”

Her remark hit a nerve. Susan’s expression darkened. It felt like a jab to her heart.

“Well, Celia is just going to be in Astana for a while. She’ll be back eventually,” Susan replied weakly before retreating.

Olivia claimed victory. Then, she pulled Elizabeth into the conversation.

“Mom, check this out. Xander Fulton, the president of Futurelink Corporation. He is

handsome and talented. He turned the company around in a few months. He’s a real catch …” Elizabeth furrowed as she interrupted, “Enough for now. We can talk about this later.”

Pouting, Olivia reluctantly agreed, “Alright, Mom.”

Then, she turned her attention to Geraldine. “Geraldine, take a look! This guy, Xander, seems to fit your taste.”

However, Geraldine showed no interest. Her gaze remained fixed on the entrance. When she spotted Benjamin walking in, her dull eyes instantly lit up.

“Mom, I’ll go over there for a moment,” she said before swiftly walking toward Benjamin.

“Benjamin…”

Benjamin saw Geraldine approaching. He greeted, “Ms. Geraldine, you’re here.”

Geraldine, who was only two months older than Benjamin, felt annoyed when he addressed her so formally.

She playfully scolded him, “I’ve told you so many times not to call me ‘miss‘. It makes me

sound old.”

“Haha, Ms. Geraldine, you’re not old at all,” Frederick said, earning a glare from Geraldine.

“Don’t call me that!” Geraldine warned.

Taken aback, Frederick quickly corrected himself. “Alright, alright. We can’t just call you‘

Geraldine‘, can we?”

Geraldine’s expression softened a bit. She turned to Benjamin and asked, “Benjamin, I heard you got divorced. Is it true?” T

Benjamin’s eyes darkened, and his smile faded slightly. Those familiar with him knew it was a sign of displeasure.

Frederick hastily interjected, “Geraldine, maybe you shouldn’t bring that up.”

However, Geraldine paid no mind. “That woman, Grace, was never worthy of you. It’s good that you divorced her,” she continued.

Frederick tried to stop her. “Ms. Geraldine–I mean, Gerdaline! Let’s not discuss this further …

Frederick carefully gauged Benjamin’s expression.

Sensing Benjamin’s displeasure, Geraldine pouted. “Tsk, tsk, are you still thinking about her, Benjamin?”

Benjamin ignored her comment and said, “Geraldine, it’s Grandma’s birthday today, so let’s

focus on her. There’s no need to bother with my affairs.”

With that, Benjamin turned to leave, and Frederick quickly followed.

Geraldine became frustrated.

She had just spoken the truth. Grace had never been a match for him!

At the entrance, Frederick caught up with Benjamin and teased, “What’s up with you? Did you get upset because someone badmouthed Grace?”

Benjamin let out a cold snort and gazed into the distance. He chose to remain silent.
