Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Cause and Effect

As long as she can marry Clara Bennett into a wealthy family and unite her with William Foster, but the condition is, she must first help herself get a huge fortune.

Samuel Grant has a wicked heart, and at this moment, he is still daydreaming; Daisy Stone already feels her vision blurring.

Clara Bennett sneered lightly and asked Samuel Grant, "Why is Daisy Stone investigating you? Isn’t she your stepmother?"

Samuel Grant replied coldly, "Stop pretending. Do you think I would still believe your nonsense?"

Clara Bennett looked innocent, "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

Samuel Grant directly clarified, "Daisy Stone is my girlfriend, and the baby in her stomach is mine."

Upon hearing this, Clara Bennett chuckled, "Really? If this matter is exposed, won’t you be completely disgraced? Accusing your own flesh and blood of adultery with your father... In traditional views, this kind of thing is considered outrageous!"

Samuel Grant chuckled softly, "Do you still think you’ll have the chance to talk about these things? When the truth comes out, no one will believe your explanations. For now, the only thing to do is to listen and act obediently."

Daisy Stone lying on the ground hurt so much she was about to faint, cursing inside.

Samuel Grant is really annoying!

I’m clearly almost done for...

Her voice trembled weakly, "Samuel Grant, come help me... I beg you."

Clara Bennett looked down at Daisy Stone and suddenly revealed a bizarre smile, "Save her?"

That sentence chilled Daisy Stone’s heart.

Then Clara Bennett raised her eyes to Samuel Grant and said, "Ignore her, in ten to twenty minutes she’ll die naturally from excessive blood loss. After the deal is done, I promise to marry William Foster and offer two hundred million as a betrothal gift. This money is negligible to me, but it’s a huge fortune to you."

In the darkness, Samuel Grant’s expression was not clear.

Daisy Stone was extremely weak, letting out a painful plea, "You two maniacs... Help! Husband... Save me..."

She forced herself to reach out and crawl towards Samuel Grant, but he remained stiff and expressionless.

Clara Bennett urged, "Patience is limited, make up your mind quickly."

Recalling the past, when learning of Samuel Grant’s affair, Clara Bennett was so furious she almost rolled down the stairs.

Back then, she seemed to lose her mind and rushed forward, loudly questioning Samuel Grant: Would he choose to keep Daisy Stone and their child, or try to save our marriage?

At that time, Daisy Stone also told him, "Samuel Grant, I don’t have the patience to wait for you to decide."

Karma, perfectly measured.

Now all of this is Daisy Stone’s own doing.

Does she really cherish Samuel Grant choosing her?

Actually, no, she just wanted these two men to resent each other.

What true love?

It’s simply a joke.

Upon seeing Daisy Stone crawling towards Samuel Grant dragging a trail of blood, the three people in the adjacent room fell silent.

William Foster’s face looked very unpleasant.

Daniel Wright didn’t even dare to breathe.

Young Madam, do you know what you’re doing, what you’re saying?

Do you realize your future husband, Boss Foster, has been watching all along?

A woman can only marry one man, I advise you to think it through!

Daniel Wright really can’t understand Clara Bennett’s thinking, does she truly want to marry Samuel Grant?

Could she be choosing this worthless man over our noble Boss Foster?

Samuel Grant’s heart was touched, indeed, it was moved.

The feelings between him and Clara Bennett didn’t matter, but two hundred million is a considerable amount that could solve the company’s problems and even allow him to rebound.

His hand tightened, perhaps driven by benefit, his head was heated; maybe he naively believed Clara Bennett still loved him.

In any case, at this moment, Samuel Grant was actually lost in a fog, unable to think rationally.

Clearly, he had hurt Clara Bennett, why would she still consider getting back together with him?

Samuel Grant opened his mouth and asked, "Are you serious about what you said?"

Clara Bennett stared into Samuel Grant’s eyes, "Of course it’s true. So, do you agree?"

Daisy Stone, noticing Samuel Grant’s hesitation, palely clenched her teeth and said, "Samuel Grant! I’m like this all because of you! How can you treat me this way! Samuel Grant! Save me!"

Samuel Grant’s hand tightened, raised his eyes to Clara Bennett, "Your promise counts—"

"Oh, time’s up."

Clara Bennett interrupted him with a smile, "You missed the best moment to answer, I’m reneging now and canceling the marriage agreement. Go save your ’lover’ quickly."

Samuel Grant was stunned for quite a while, unable to speak in anger, "Clara Bennett! Are you playing me! How dare you treat me like this!"

Clara Bennett calmly said, "Of course I dare."

Samuel Grant shouted, "Aren’t you afraid of the consequences! The evidence I hold is enough to make William Foster abandon you, make your family lose face in all of Ocean City, and even imprison you; your whole family will pay the price because of you!"

Clara Bennett coldly said something meaningful, "Those things will never happen."

Never will happen.

Clara Bennett removed the pearl hairpin from her head and took out a tiny camera, "Introducing to you, this is the latest technology from the security bureau, a pinhole camera, it has been running since we were at the restaurant, all recordings have been sent to my home computer. Samuel Grant, do you think I would come to meet you unprepared? You have really overestimated yourself."

Samuel Grant was completely dumbfounded, "You, you—"

Clara Bennett said blandly, "To tell you more, I’ve always been clear-headed. I’ve recorded your stunt of letting Daisy Stone impersonate me, whether in the restaurant or in the car, you just want to deceive William Foster into thinking I reconciled with you? Feel free to send those videos to him, as long as you’re not afraid of how angry he’ll be."

Samuel Grant was so scared he stumbled several steps back, and then rushed forward aggressively, "Hand it over!"

Clara Bennett smiled and dodged him, "I told you already, it’s just a cloud camera device, all the data has long been on my computer. Even if you get the camera, you won’t get anything. You better do something useful now, like... sending Daisy Stone to the hospital? If you miss the best time for treatment, this problem is yours to address."

Clara Bennett was quite pleased, thinking this trip was particularly worthwhile.

Samuel Grant looked at her, then at Daisy Stone who was nearly unconscious, gritted his teeth, ran over to her, and picked her up, "Clara Bennett, don’t reveal this matter! Even if you recorded it, if you lead others to misunderstand I didn’t rescue Daisy Stone, you won’t escape responsibility!"

Clara Bennett slowly replied, "Stop threatening me. If things actually went wrong from further delay, no one can say for sure, but I can guarantee not to leak the recordings and give you another chance to negotiate."

Samuel Grant took a deep breath, although he still wanted to tangle a bit with Clara Bennett, but now he had to quickly take Daisy Stone to the doctor to avoid real misfortune, so he swiftly left with her.
