Chapter 12 Ms. Green, You're Such a Charmer!
David did not dare to disobey Benjamin.
Although Benjamin and they were peers, he had done so well in his career that he indeed overpowered them.
David winked at Madelyn. "I'll wait for you in the car."
Madelyn forced a smile.
When David left, a few police officers saw the vibe get weird, chuckled, and said, "Now that Mr. Clark wants to have a private conversation, we're gonna get out of here right now." Madelyn was speechless.
When everything was completely quiet, Benjamin lowered his head and played with a cigarette between his fingers. His fingers were long and strong, and he was still so charming even when he was doing something simple like that.
A moment later, he looked up at her. "Ms. Green, you're such a charmer."
Madelyn froze for a moment.
She instinctively defended herself. "What happened today has nothing to do with..."
"You're gonna tell me it has nothing to do with you?" Benjamin's faint smile was mocking. "Ms. Green, can't you guess why they fought?"
The blood drained from Madelyn's face.
All her explanations were flimsy and lame in the face of the powerful Benjamin. He didn't allow anyone to question him because he was Benjamin Clark, the best barrister in the country. Madelyn was just an insignificant weed.
She was aggrieved, her eyes filled with tears. "Mr. Clark, you can rest assured that I will never get involved in your sister's relationship."
Benjamin suddenly got up and walked straight towards her.
Madelyn did not move a muscle.
She just stared up at him with watery eyes, overwhelmed.
Benjamin looked down at her and reached out his palm to touch her delicate face. Madelyn felt humiliated and looked away in embarrassment.
Benjamin spoke in a soft voice, "Ms. Green, you must not resign yourself to this. Daniel was the one who cheated on you with Eloise. And now it makes you look like the other woman. You feel wronged, don't you?"
"No!"
"Are you still thinking about him?"
"I'm not!"
Benjamin withdrew his palm and smiled lightly.
He said, "I take your word on it."
Madelyn was embarrassed and furious. Who was Benjamin to do this to her? She didn't dare to flare up and could only say, "Benjamin, you bastard!"
He didn't get huffy but just stared at her intently.
Only after a long time did Benjamin speak very softly, "There is nothing wrong with you except placing too much trust in love."
Madelyn froze for a split second.
When she came back to her senses, Benjamin had already left.
Benjamin focused on driving.
He looked in the rearview mirror from time to time and saw Eloise leaning her head on Daniel's shoulder and beaming with happiness.
Benjamin's lips arched with a trace of a mocking smile.
The gold Continental slowly stopped in front of the restaurant. Daniel got out of the car and made a bow to thank Benjamin. They made eye contact with each other, and the looks in their eyes said something only both of them could understand.
Benjamin nodded lightly and drove off.
Eloise dragged herself to the passenger seat.
"There is a certain behavior that is expected of a lady. Be elegant." Benjamin told Eloise off.
Eloise didn't listen to him.
She held Benjamin's hand and gave him some gossip. "Ms. Green is quite pretty! I can't believe David likes a woman like her... Benjamin, I think her cup size is C!"
Benjamin rolled down the car window a bit.
He just felt his body heat up all of a sudden!
Eloise was still muttering to herself, "She's so beautiful. I kind of suspected that she has an affair with Daniel... It's a good thing that she's David's woman."
Benjamin did not say anything and stayed focused on driving.
After a long time, he asked Eloise in a soft voice. When are you going to marry him?"
Eloise was blushing. "It's up to Daniel. He's building his career right now, and I don't dare to bother him too much."
There was a red light ahead, and Benjamin stopped the car.
He turned sideways casually. "Does he love you?"
"Of course."
"What does he love about you?"
Instead of being caught off guard by the question, Eloise held out her thin, white palm and counted with great familiarity, "He loves me because I'm well-educated and pretty. I'm from a very good family, have great parents and a capable elder brother..."
Benjamin snorted softly.
