Edward Bennett tried to avoid eye contact, seeming a bit flustered, "What are you talking about? I don’t understand. I’m just purely moved by her efforts."
James Bennett crossed his arms, looking unconvinced, "You surrendered too quickly, it feels off. Did Clara give you any benefits to speak for her?"
Edward shook his head, "I didn’t receive any benefits. Alright, actually I intended to stop Clara, but she said she liked me the most, and said I’m the best. Those words made it impossible for me to refuse, so I had to support her."
James Bennett and Charles Bennett were almost simultaneously shocked, "!!!"
They both regretted not acting in time earlier!
How come Edward got all the advantage!
Charles clenched his fist, looking displeased, "Second brother, come and have a match with me, I’m really pissed off right now."
His voice revealed an urgent emotion, clearly truly angered by something.
James smiled at him, then turned to his brother standing aside and said, "I’ll be the referee, let Charles throw the first three punches."
His tone was relaxed and slightly humorous, seeming to anticipate the match would be interesting.
Edward wore a discontented expression, loudly protesting, "Hmph, whatever you say is useless, anyway, the person Clara values most is me, yes, it’s me!"
His arms were crossed in front of his chest, appearing very firm and confident, not caring at all about his brothers’ teasing or opposing opinions.
Upon hearing Edward’s words, James chuckled lightly and replied, "The referee suddenly can’t see, Charles, don’t hold back, give him a good beating."
Clearly, he intended to teach this overly self-satisfied brother a lesson, hoping he would learn to be a bit more humble.
Although these three brothers always appeared impressive in outsiders’ eyes, they still acted like competitive kids at home.
Such scenes were both heartwarming and slightly amusing.
In a corner upstairs, Clara Bennett was cautiously observing everything happening downstairs.
She quickly took out her phone to capture the scene and decided to save it in her most precious photo album.
To her, this is an indispensable part of the memory of home.
Whenever she recalled past regrets from her previous life, one of them was being unable to return to those happy and carefree days spent with her brothers.
Seeing her brothers so lively and joyful, which hadn’t happened for a long time, she cherished this moment even more and hoped to preserve it forever.
When Clara returned to her room, her phone in her pocket rang just in time.
The call display showed the name Daisy Stone.
She furrowed her brow slightly before answering, "Hello?"
A hurried voice came from the other end, "Did you get the money Samuel Grant gave you?"
It was evident Daisy was indeed very concerned about this matter.
Clara calmly replied, "Is there a problem? Or are you worried that I might renege?"
The conversation revealed a special relationship between them, indicating that something unusual might have happened previously.
After a crucial conversation at the hospital, they reached a formal kind of partnership.
Given the circumstances at that time, the matter concerning Samuel Grant had already become an irreversible outcome, now reliant solely on Daisy Stone acting as an installed spy in the enemy’s camp to provide intelligence support.
Clara wasn’t too concerned about Daisy suddenly backing out because during testing Daisy had even risked her life to prove Samuel Grant’s true intentions towards her.
If there were any wavering under such circumstances, it might just be attributed to fate.
Daisy didn’t mind, "You are the eldest daughter of the Bennett family, why would I doubt your inability to bring out money? I’m mainly calling to tell you something. Last night, Samuel Grant’s behavior was somewhat abnormal; he came home smashing things, got drunk, and even made threats, saying he would return the humiliation he suffered to you."
Clara raised her eyebrows, her tone slightly provocative, "Oh? Then I’ll wait and see, let’s hope he truly has the ability to achieve his grand ambitions."
The thought of wanting revenge against Samuel Grant before death in her previous life was treated with disdain by him.
And now, since she gained a second chance at life and heard the heavy promises made by him, she must test his true strength.
Clara was not interested in threats and grandiose words, she was more concerned about Daisy’s situation, "Did his behavior last night harm you or your unborn child?"
Daisy felt mixed emotions at the concern, but still replied, "Everything is fine, there’s no major problem."
However, she was always curious about why the initial agreement mentioned raising this child well, what exactly is the reason for this, "Why do you want this child so much?"
Upon hearing this question, Clara’s attitude immediately became much colder, "That’s not for you to question, you just have to ensure he is born safely, don’t worry about anything else."
This child’s birth would become an indelible sore in the hearts of all those involved, also an important aspect of Clara’s revenge plan.
This aimed not only at Samuel Grant and his father, but also included her former friend and other people involved, none could remain unscathed.
Although she expressed cooperation with Daisy, it didn’t mean she would spare her "partner" sometime in the future.
Currently, she was merely using Daisy temporarily.
Daisy hadn’t initially planned to keep this child, after all, considering Samuel Grant’s awful attitude towards her, what practical significance would continued pregnancy have?
She finally saw through Samuel Grant’s true nature, he never had any intention of marrying her.
Someone who could care so little about her life safety, how could he genuinely want to step into marriage with her?
Whenever she recalled how she had no choice but to commit herself to Samuel Grant, leading to an empty conclusion, Daisy couldn’t suppress her inner disgust and anger.
This emotion became the crucial reason she agreed to cooperate with Clara.
Deep down, she also eagerly hoped to give Samuel Grant this jerk a heavy lesson, letting him taste betrayal and being used.
However, Clara strictly required her to give birth safely to this unborn life first and promised that once she did, Clara would give her a large sum of money as compensation, and help her completely escape Samuel Grant’s control.
These were extremely important for Daisy Stone struggling in her current plight.
