Chapter 843: Chapter 843 What is the relationship between the newcomer and Bennett White_1

Chapter 843

Meanwhile, the two individuals who had just entered their bedroom were also exiting after locking the door behind them.

The crisis was temporarily averted.

Upon heaving a sigh of relief, she made her move to leave.

Listening intently, she could hear that the people downstairs hadn’t left, in fact, there was a crowd gathering outside the wall spectating.

She furrowed her brows.

For now, it seemed like leaving was impossible.

Downstairs.

One by one, a few subordinates arrived, the one in the lead carrying an exquisite sandalwood box, advancing towards their leader.

The leader didn’t have a mask on, his hair was silvery, with a full-bearded face to match. Dressed in a grey gown, at first glance, he seemed to be a kind elderly gentleman.

"Leader, the glow-in-the-dark pearl has been found," stated a subordinate.

Bennett White cast a cursory glance towards the box, appearing unperturbed.

The Leader laughed, "Bennett White, it seems you’ve made a second mistake. A sum of 500 million is at stake, which outweighs your previous errors. According to our agreement, you are to extend your contract by another five years."

Bennett White: "I haven’t seen the glow-in-the-dark pearl."

The Leader chuckled, a glint in his eye. With a slight gesture of his hand, a subordinate immediately opened the box.

At the next moment, the scene was filled with astonishment.

"Leader...Leader..." stuttered the one who had opened the box.

The Leader glanced in their direction and momentarily narrowed his eyes.

Instead of the glow-in-the-dark pearl, a bottle of chili sauce was placed inside the box!

"Seems like the glow-in-the-dark pearl is not in there. Leader, aren’t you happy about this?" said Bennett White nonchalantly.

The Leader stared at Bennett White in disbelief, staying silent.

His sharp gaze turned towards his subordinates, seemingly demanding to know where the glow-in-the-dark pearl had gone.

At the height of this tense atmosphere, a sudden shout came from upstairs: "There’s someone here!"

The color on Bennett’s face changed slightly, reacting to what he just heard.

"A person?" The Leader’s face clouded over, and in a deep voice, he commanded, "Bring that person down."

Soon, everyone saw a newcomer in a white uniform being brought downstairs, followed by the Leader’s subordinates.

"Reporting to the Leader, I just saw this newcomer sleeping on Mr. White’s bed in the master bedroom," one of them reported.

Chloe Collins’ fingers slightly tightened as she quickly glanced at Bennett White.

What... what was he thinking?

How could she explain and make it out of this peacefully without implicating anyone?

"Bennett White, you should know the rules of the Dark Alliance. Private affairs with newcomers are prohibited. You’re clearly violating the rules."

He continued, "The box for the glow-in-the-dark pearl is genuine, but the pearl being lost under your supervision is a mistake. Your involvement with the newcomer and your dishonesty is your second mistake. Willingly giving up the Platinum Order is your third! With these three strikes, you must renew your contract with the Dark Alliance for another five years."

"Leader, my relationship with Bennett White is not what you’re assuming it to be," Chloe Collins suddenly stated, her voice hoarse and unnatural, far from its normal tone.

The Leader’s subordinate retorted harshly, "How audacious, newcomer! How dare you interrupt when the Leader is speaking! Someone, slap her!"

The Leader raised his hand to stop them.

Slowly, he asked, "If there’s no intimate relationship, how did you end up on his bed? From what I know, Bennett White is a very clean person who values personal space. Only those close to him are permitted to enter his territory. You, a newcomer, how did you end up on his bed without any such relations?"

One word at a time, he drove his point home.

Bennett White said nothing, silently observing Chloe Collins with a calm expression.

Calmly, Chloe Collins turned to the one who had discovered her and asked, "When you found me, what was my appearance like?"

The individual responded, "Just like how you are now!"

"Mr. Leader, if Bennett White and I were involved as you suggest, I wouldn’t still be wearing my mask and be fully clothed while sleeping on his bed."

A victorious grin spread across the Leader’s face as he asked, "Then, could you explain to me why you ended up on his bed?"

Chloe Collins was silent for a moment, ready to answer, but Bennett interrupted her.

(Goodnight.)
