Chapter 1647 Can't Hold a Candle to Her

As Margot left the hotel, her expression didn't ease up. She still hadn't received any news from Benjamin. What was going on? Did he have something urgent to attend to? But with his personality, he would have informed her in advance. Why hadn't she received any messages from him yet? Amidst her confusion, a car pulled up in front of her. She looked at it curiously, and Jake became alert as well. The car door opened, and a middle-aged man stepped out. He wore a gentle smile as he approached her. "Excuse me, are you Ms. Margot Zimmerman?" Margot nodded. "Yes, I am. Who are you?" She looked at the man, and a sense of familiarity washed over her. The middle-aged man smiled and introduced himself. "I'm the Inkling family's butler. You can call me Javier. My employer has asked me to pick you up and take you to where he and Mr. Benjamin are now." Benjamin's grandfather wanted to see her? Margot looked at Javier for a moment, and it struck her. She recalled that this man was indeed the Inkling family's butler. She had met him twice when she visited the Inkling family in her previous life. However, their interactions were limited because Javier primarily cared for Benjamin's grandfather. When she and Benjamin were together in her previous life, Benjamin's grandfather had already retired from the family's affairs, so she didn't have a strong impression of him. Margot asked, "Where are they?" Javier replied, "Please get in the car, and I will take you there." Margot nodded. Meanwhile, Jake cast a worried glance at her. Margot said, "He's indeed the Inkling family's butler. If it's Benjamin's grandfather who wants to see me, there shouldn't be any issues." With that assurance, Jake relaxed and discreetly retreated into the shadows. Javier glanced at Margot. "You know me, Ms. Zimmerman?" Margot smiled. "I was just thinking, no one would use the Inkling family's name to deceive people, right? That would tarnish his reputation." Javier chuckled. "You jests, Ms. Zimmerman." Margot got into the car and sent a message to Benjamin on her phone. Although she trusted Javier, she couldn't be too careful. However, just like her previous messages, she never got a reply. Annoyance welled up in her heart. The car continued to forward. As the sun gradually set, the city's lights turned on. After forty minutes, the car stopped at the entrance of a fancy club. A security guard opened the car door, and Margot got out of the car. She felt a sense of déjà vu here. In her previous life, she had come here with Tamara. Javier said, "Please follow me, Ms. Zimmerman." Margot gathered her thoughts and followed Javier into the club. They entered the lift and stopped on the fifth floor. When the doors opened, melodic music reached their ears. This floor was a banquet hall filled with influential figures from Londsville. The atmosphere was lively, with people mingling around. Margot was still puzzled about why Javier had brought her here. However, when she turned around, she realized that Javier was nowhere to be seen. What was happening? Just then, two figures caught her eye, and her breath caught in her throat. One of the figures was extremely familiar to her. It was Benjamin. He stood there with an elegant and poised posture, exuding a natural air of refinement. Even though his expression appeared nonchalant, it was enough to pull at one's heartstrings. A girl in a nightgown stood opposite him with reddened cheeks. Was he here for a social engagement? The thought crossed her mind involuntarily. Suddenly, a mocking voice whispered in her ear, "Do you see that? He only regards you as a plaything. Your status doesn't even come close to his. "The woman beside him is the daughter of a prominent official in Londsville. She has a distinguished background. You can't even hold a candle to her."
