Husband With Benefits
Chapter 505: Ugly

Chapter 505: Ugly

Isidora, her small frame radiating indignation, marched out of the elevator, her royal demeanor still intact despite the confrontation. First she met Rosie who gave her a smile. Because she was in a mood, she only smiled back at him and complained," I need to tell Seb something!" and walked towards his office with resolve.

As soon as she entered the door, however, she was surprised to see Ian and her brother in law there along with Olivia and Vivienne. She paused. Uhh... Why were there so many people here? This was not good. If she was alone, they she would be able to shift the entire blame on that woman and convince Seb that she was an angel. But Lucifer and Ian would definitely see through her and give her a lecture about being rude as well...

Hmm... she’ll have to quickly think of something.

With a dramatic flourish and the energy of an angry tornado, she flung her arms around him in a tight embrace, her voice muffled against his chest and complained pitifully, "Seb! What kind of people are there in this office!"

Sebastian wrapped his arms around her, surprised and confused at the outburst. He cast a glance to Rosie, questioningly, wondering what could have happened. But his assistant gave him the same confused look he was probably already wearing and soothed her carefully, "Hey, calm down. Tell me what happened."

Dora pulled back slightly, her eyes flashing with indignation as she recounted her version of the encounter with the ’woman’ downstairs. "That woman, she... she called me ugly, Seb! Can you believe it?" Her voice quivered, while tears quickly filled her eyes! How could someone call her ugly? She was the cutest! She’d been told this multiple times!

Seb shook his head," Who dared to call you ugly? Tell me. I’ll teach that person a lesson!"

"That horrible woman I met in the basement! Who does she think she is?Calling me ugly when she is the one who is an imposter! She got a plastic surgery so that she doesn’t look like her old self! And she!!!!" And then she let go, letting tears fall down her pretty face.

Lucy and Ian seemed to have disappeared from the room when Seb was listening to her! Those Cowards and escapists! Seb felt a bit helpless at this and looked at Olivia for support while Vivienne narrowed her eyes and walked towards Dora.

With a tap on her shoulder, she quickly had Dora’s attention," Who are you?" She asked her curiously.

Dora frowned as she heard the question before looking way up! Woah! This lady was so tall... She totally could be a model. Forgetting she was crying, she answered Vivienne directly, "I’m Dora. And who are you?"

Vivienne smiled," I’m Vivienne. Her sister." Vivienne pointed to Olivia who was still standing there in shock. Did the girl have a switch inside? She went from crying to normal in less than a blink!

Following her cue, Dora nodded and pointed to Olivia as well," I am going to be her daughter soon."

Olivia’s mouth fell open at this and Vivienne’s eyes immediately narrowed as she looked at Seb accusingly," You have a daughter?"

Seb rolled his eyes. Of course, there was no way she would not misunderstand him! Just a little while ago she had cried pitifully and apologized to him for misunderstanding him all this while. And yet, here she was, accusing him again.

Thankfully, Dora saved him and shook her head," No no! I’m waiting for them to adopt me. It is going to take some time. I think I have to renounce my title first and disown my parents. How are you so tall?"

Olivia smiled at Dora’s mumbling and decided to save poor Vivienne," Vivienne, she is Princess Isidora, the youngest princess of Estania. She is trying to convince Seb and me to adopt her but we’re too scared of her to take that risk."

Immediately, Dora’s mood shifted again as she pouted," LIvi! You’re being mean to me! How is adopting me risky? What could happen at most? My father will have you both thrown into prison for kidnapping? Look at my cuteness! Aren’t I worth a bit of jail time?"

The remaining adults all laughed while Vivienne shook her head and cast another apologetic look at Seb promising," The next time anyone says anything against you, I won’t believe it! I promise!"

Seb shook his head, waving away the apology," I don’t mind. Just don’t try to you know... protect Livia!"

Vivienne laughed and nodded her head while Olivia was giving Dora the expected talking to," You cannot say such things about people, Princess Dora! There could be ’n’ number of reasons for a plastic surgery. Ugliness not even being the top one. So, for whatever reason, you should not call someone out like that."

"But she started it!" Dora complained to which Olivia nodded," Yes! But I am sure you’re smarter than anyone here and know that there is no need to engage in such behaviour."

Dora snapped her mouth shut at that! She hated it when someone made sense and called her out. "Fine fine! I won’t say anything! But you have to talk to her! First she almost flattened me like a pancake and then she scolded him! I am very very angry!"

She looked at Seb for support, knowing that her charm would work better on him but he seemed to be engrossed in some thoughts. Thankfully, her charm worked on Olivia as well, because she patted her head and answered," Alright! We’ll make sure that this matter is handled. Rosie here can check the surveillance cameras for you...Though I must say, you would have definitely been a super tasty pancake..."

Dora stomped her feet as she heard this while Olivia laughed, hugging the girl gently.

Meanwhile, Seb had already turned his head to look at his screen. And what he saw on the screen made his eyes harden. Could it be... that Ian’s suspicions were true? It seemed far fetched but they would have to look into this matter even more carefully.
