Chapter 14: Chapter 14

When Hillmountain saw this, she sneered and said, "Westfield, do you regret it now that you no longer have a chance with me? Do you feel disappointed? Autumnheights never like parasites like you come near me again in my life! I don't need you at all and I don't need to beg you anymore, so get out from here! I don't want to see your face!"

Gazing at Westfield, Hillmountain spoke with a tone of contempt.

If she knew it would've been settled this easily, why would she degradeherself and beg someone like Westfield?Hillmountain pondered in her mind.

When he heard Hillmountain's harsh remarks, Westfield gave a sour smile. Even though he had put in a lot of work for the John family, she still thought he was a freeloader?

"Hillmountain, am I really that insufferable for you?"

Hillmountain crossed her arms and replied coldly while snickering, "Westfield, being such a worthless man, aren't you ashamed to ask me that?"

"Get lost already before I react, Westfield. Since I have matters to settle with Hillmountain, I don't want to see incompetent people like you coming and ruining the environment."

With a sly smile, Benjamin boldly put his hand on Hillmountain's shoulder.

Although she shivered, she didn't say no.

When Westfield realized this, he became enraged and glared at Hillmountain as he asked, "A useless person? Do you not realize that the John family wouldn't have anything without a freeloader like me?"

"What did you say? I had no idea that you were so skilled at bragging, Westfield! Are you implying that you contributed quietly to the John family's current success?" Hillmountain retorted, making fun of him.

"In any case, do you believe that the John family and John Reed collaboration came out of nowhere?"Westfield answered.

"Didn't that partnership come only after I married into your family?" he said, meeting Hillmountain's gaze.

Momentarily, Hillmountain was taken aback. His words seemed to be true. Was that really the truth?

On the other hand, Benjamin mocked and scoffed at Westfield,""Will you stop patting yourself on the back?Hillmountain is a business genius; everyone in Meadow Park knows that. Her potential must have been seen by Kenneth Scott, who then made the decision to work with the John family. What do you have to do with any of that? You really are shameless, to spout such things!"

After hearing that, Hillmountain concluded that it was true. The John family couldn't have been transformed by the worthless Westfield. Deep down, she didn't want to believe it either!

She looked at Westfield coldly and said, "Westfield, you're such a good liar; you nearly convinced me there. It was right for me to divorce you; Otherwise, you would've fooled the John family by now!"

Westfield let out a sigh. The other party didn't believe him when he spoke the truth, and he couldn't be bothered to prove it to them.

"Come on, Hillmountain, let's ignore this idiot. I've already scheduled a meeting with Dylan Ward to let him know.Kenneth Scott and the John family will resume their collaboration right away."

Benjamin chuckled and gave Hillmountain a hug. He was eager for her to embrace him.

She nodded and said, "Then Autumnheights be counting on you, Benjamin."

Afterward,they both ignored Westfield and left.

Westfield sighed as watched them leave. He was aware of Anthony Adams character; It would be difficult to get his assistance.Westfield hesitated for a second before calling Redsprings and saying, "Hillmountain will see Joshua later, Redsprings. Kindly tell him not to harm her in any way."

Either way, they used to be a married couple, and he didn't want her to end up in danger.

"All right, Young Master. However, Joshua wants to discuss selling the properties here with you," Redsprings stated on the phone.

"Okay," Westfield answered after giving it some thought.

Nobody else was aware of it. It was just a power that Joshua believed in.

He planned to leave now and have a chat with Joshua.

Half an hour later.

Hillmountain and Benjamin arrived to Whitemountain. In this place, Joshua owned an own tea plantation. The smell of incense filled the entire hall.

Joshua closed his eyes and savored his tea.

He was already 65,yet he had a powerful, muscular frame. He was so naturally intimidating that without any anger, he was commanding respect just by sitting there!

He didn't seem like an old man, save for some creases on his face and a few white hair strands.

"Dylan Ward!"

Benjamin entered and spoke politely.

"You've arrived?"

Joshua slightly looked up and saw Hillmountain standing next to Benjamin, his eyes flickering with a trace of sharpness.

"What is it? Tell me!" he spoke in a low tone.

"Dylan Ward, I need your help with something."

With a charming smile, Benjamin quickly explained the situation at hand.

"Oh, I see. So, you want me to get the John family and Kenneth Scott working together again?"

Joshua gave Hillmountain a glance.

"Yes,Dylan Ward."

Hillmountain glanced at Joshua, a littlescared.

When he heard this, he grinned obscenely at this and replied, "Yeah, that's no problem. However, I won't do it until you sleep with me."

"What?!"

Benjamin and Hillmountain's expressions shifted at this.

They had no idea Dylan Ward would demand this, given his old age.

She could still accept Benjamin. After all, he was still attractive and youthful, at least. Dylan Ward, though, was older than her father, She felt nauseous at the very idea of it, and it was impossible for her to agree.

"This isn't possible, Dylan Ward. Hillmountain is my woman..." Benjamin begged swiftly.

"Impossible?" Joshua cast a spiteful glare at Benjamin, hate shining in his eyes.

Benjamin trembled, afraid to say anything.

"Nobody dares to refuse me the woman I want!" Joshua sneered coldly. "Are you willing to disagree? Or do you oppose in any way?"

His expression deepened as he glared at them, his intimidating aura pressing down and preventing them from turning away.

Benjamin's expression quickly turned pale as he blurted, "No I don't, Zachary!"

He came from a second-rate family, so he was nothing to Dylan Ward! He had absolutely no courage to disagree with him.

Hillmountain felt hopeless as she saw Benjamin's look.
