Chapter 370 It Was Mia
"Who told you to do this? Spill it! I wanna know who in the Benedict Group thinks they can disrespect me like this!" Daniel's voice boomed through the room, his anger palpable.
Barry's anxiety skyrocketed. If he ratted out the person now, Daniel's wrath would be all over them. How could he possibly reveal it?
Seeing Barry hesitate, Daniel snorted in frustration, "Fine, if you won't talk, I'll just assume it was your bright idea."
Turning to Dalton, Daniel said, "He's your guy, you handle him!"
Barry, feeling the weight of the accusation, quickly protested, "No, it wasn't me! Mr. Daniel Benedict, I wouldn't dare!"
"Then who was it?" Dalton demanded, his anger rising. He got up, walked over to Barry, his frown deepening.
Barry lowered his head and cautiously said, "It was... Ms. Benedict."
Mia?
Both Dalton and Daniel were stunned. Why would Mia, a Benedict, do something so reckless and pointless? She knew how much Riley had done for the family.
"Ms. Benedict said it was your instruction. I didn't think much of it until you called me," Barry said regretfully. "Mr. Benedict, I really didn't mean to go against your wishes. I wouldn't dare."
Dalton waved his hand irritably, "Got it. From now on, if anything involves Riley, report to me immediately."
Barry nodded quickly.
Dalton continued, "And about the research institute, send them the supplies as soon as you get back. I'll call Dr. Monroe myself to confirm. And you better figure out how to apologize to her!"
"Yes," Barry replied swiftly.
After giving his orders, Dalton dismissed him.
Now, it was just the two of them left in the living room, both fuming over Barry's revelation.
From Riley's first visit, Dalton had sensed Mia's dislike for Riley. But he hadn't expected Mia to be so reckless, dragging personal issues into this and targeting Riley.
"Grandpa, what do you think?" Dalton asked Daniel, feeling a headache coming on.
Daniel was livid. He never imagined that the one who almost tarnished the Benedict Group's reputation was his own granddaughter!
"Get her back here immediately! Mia has been spoiled rotten, thinking she can do whatever she wants!" Daniel demanded.
Dalton agreed and called Mia right away.
On the other end, Mia, having already heard from Barry, was prepared. When she got Dalton's call, she stayed calm, "Dalton, what's up?"
Dalton's voice was filled with anger, "How dare you ask? Get back here now!"
Mia rolled her eyes and responded slowly, "Got it, I'll be right back."
She hung up before Dalton could say more. In her mind, she hadn't done anything wrong, and Dalton's anger was over the top. The only thing that bugged her was that she did it behind Dalton's back.
Meanwhile, at the Benedict estate, Dalton stared at the disconnected call, his face dark with anger.
