Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Important Person
Even though they were trying their best to conceal the truth on the surface, deep down, they knew all their efforts would ultimately be in vain.
For this exceptionally wise father, the little schemes of his children simply couldn’t escape his keen gaze.
Sir Bennett snorted, "I’m your father, how could I not see through your little tricks? What’s the point of pretending in front of me?"
His tone held both reproach and affection, revealing the head of the family’s care for everyone and his hopes for a future filled with happiness.
At the same time, he was warning everyone that no matter what happens, one should never conceal or deceive their elders. After all, a family must be open and supportive of each other to move forward further.
Charles Bennett forced a smile, his expression somewhat strained and helpless, "What are we pretending about?"
Third brother looked awkward, his heart full of doubts, and he couldn’t help thinking: Could it be that Dad really already knows about our matters?
But then he shook his head, feeling a bit uneasy, thinking that if Dad really knew the truth, based on his character, he wouldn’t be so calm letting them sit here and talk.
At the very least, he’d make us kneel as punishment.
Sir Bennett crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes showing a knowing look, his lips slightly upward, as if everything was under his control.
He said in a deep voice, "Hmph, I see through your thoughts. Every day you say you support Clara entering the entertainment industry, letting her do what she loves. But look at last night, she was out all night filming, and every one of you was unsettled! You keep saying you’re giving her love and freedom, but aren’t you worried just like me!"
The three brothers, misunderstood, felt bitter but didn’t dare to argue, only maintaining a silent agreement.
They were indeed quite concerned about their sister, but it wasn’t because she filmed all night; it was because last night was her wedding night, and she didn’t come home.
Thinking of their sister possibly struggling for her career in the future, the brothers felt a sting in their hearts.
But thinking that she would start her own family, leaving their embrace, made the brothers even more heartbroken. After all, she’s their precious little sister!
Faced with Sir Bennett’s gaze, they didn’t dare explain anything, only nodding in agreement, softly saying, "Yes, yes, you’re so right."
Sir Bennett raised his head, his gaze profound and sharp, his tone tinged with annoyance: "I’m telling the truth. Last night, I barely slept, tossing and turning over Clara’s issues. Tsk, what kind of job requires filming till dawn at night? Even ordinary overtime cultures aren’t encouraged anymore, why hasn’t the entertainment industry changed?"
Edward Bennett responded helplessly, "Dad, you might not understand. Sometimes filming at night and during the day can produce entirely different results. This arrangement is also due to the special needs of production. For the sake of the film’s effect, it has to be done."
Sir Bennett said discontentedly, "But she shouldn’t have to endure a whole night like this. Clara was pampered since childhood, now having to endure such hardship."
Sir Bennett could be reasonable about other things, except for being overly doting on his daughter.
Just as he was expressing concern for Clara, she happened to push the door open, carrying a big bag of her father’s favorite breakfast treats.
Seeing his daughter being so thoughtful, the father, originally worried about her health, immediately felt much better.
"Come, let me take a look at you. Oh dear, you can see the fatigue on your little face. You must have been really tired last night, right?"
Clara was momentarily at a loss for words and merely smiled at her father.
Seeing this, James Bennett hurried over to smooth things over, lest their father kept talking and embarrassed Clara: "Dad, don’t mention it anymore. Clara has worked hard all night, let her have some rest."
Actually, Clara felt she was in good shape and didn’t understand why her father perceived her as tired.
Perhaps it’s because only parents constantly feel their children have it tough working outside, always worried about whether they’re eating or sleeping well, this love makes one feel so warm.
Feeling the full care from her father, Clara was moved and couldn’t help but give him a hug.
"Dad, I’m really fine. I’m still young, my body can handle this little fatigue. But you should take care of your own health, don’t overwork yourself."
Sir Bennett was taken aback for a moment, then deliberately pinched his daughter’s soft little cheeks: "Hey, are you implying that I’m old? Am I already a senior citizen?"
Clara quickly waved her hand denying, "Not at all! I’m genuinely concerned about you. You’re getting older, you need to take care of your health. I’m going to rest now, try the breakfast I brought back, and brothers, all come taste it."
With that, she went straight back to her room.
But she didn’t immediately lie down to sleep; instead, she put on headphones to continue familiarizing herself with the script.
The familiar, magnetic voice of her husband, William Foster, came through the headphones, and as she listened to the dialogues, a slight smile appeared on her lips, a warm smile rose on her face.
She had to admit, it was really fortunate to be connected with William Foster.
Even though it started as a spur to go against Samuel Grant, it now seemed like it all happened for her to meet William Foster, who became an important figure in her life.
Her heart was full of gratitude and happiness, realizing that William Foster was not only her partner but also a soulmate deep in her soul.
While wearing headphones, listening carefully to each line of the script, her fingers didn’t stop, tapping on the keyboard, preparing for matters related to the new company startup.
The recruitment notice for the company has already been meticulously crafted and sent to major job recruitment websites.
In this age of information, as long as you have enough funds and a clear goal, starting a company of your own isn’t that hard to accomplish.
Especially leveraging big data analysis technology, like her, to select applicants, accurately screening out a few truly suitable candidates to join the team from inundating job applications.
Additionally, to attract them, special invitation letters were sent to these candidates.
She felt very confident that the conditions offered were much more favorable than their current possible jobs, thus believing she could assemble a powerful elite team within half a month.
Early the next morning, Clara hurried to find her brother James Bennett.
Clara: "Brother, I need to go filming soon, the schedule is very tight. Can you help me return those gifts to William? Since we’ve already become a couple, there’s no need to keep that hefty gift. Although they’re temporarily at my place, I really have no time to deliver them, could I trouble you to take them instead?"
James Bennett didn’t hesitate a bit and replied, "Sure, no problem, I’ll deliver them as soon as possible."
