Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 377

“What?” Anastasia blurted out in disbelief. “An engagement? My cousin and Penelope?!”

“It’s true,” came the reply. “The whole upper circle of Fairhaven is already buzzing about it. Mr. Brennan has made it clear to everyone—he won’t marry anyone but Penelope…”

Anastasia’s expression darkened. Without hesitation, she grabbed her phone and called Juliet.

“Cousin, you’ve heard already?” Juliet’s voice sounded weak, as if she hadn’t slept at all.

“What on earth is going on?!”

How did this happen? Why was Benson suddenly getting engaged to Penelope?

“It happened last night,” Juliet explained, her voice barely above a whisper. “As soon as my brother got home, he went straight to Grandpa and told him he wanted to marry Penelope.”

“Grandpa refused, but Ben just knelt in his study and said he wouldn’t get up until Grandpa agreed…”

“Grandpa nearly fainted from anger. Eventually, my parents dragged Ben out of the room, but he wouldn’t back down. I heard him say he was determined to go through with the engagement no matter what, and if the family didn’t approve, he’d cut all ties with the Brennans!”

“I didn’t dare tell you. I was afraid you’d be furious.”

After all, Juliet knew exactly what kind of person Penelope was—and how much her cousin despised her.

“Cousin, what should we do?” Juliet sounded lost and anxious, her voice trembling.

She’d seen her brother’s stubbornness firsthand last night, and it left her feeling helpless. How could someone as smart and capable as Ben let Penelope twist him around her little finger?

Anastasia’s face was set and cold. She forced herself to stay calm. “How are Grandpa and Grandma holding up?”

The two of them were getting on in years, and Grandpa’s health had never been great...

Sensing Anastasia’s worry, Juliet hurried to reassure her. “They’re alright. Grandpa was really angry earlier, but he’s calmed down. Grandma’s been trying to talk sense into Ben. Don’t worry, Cousin.”

Only then did Anastasia’s heart settle, just a little. Her eyes narrowed coldly. “Leave this to me. I’ll handle it.”

She hung up and immediately set out to find Benson.
