The 'Defective' Billionaire and His Relentless Appetite for Me -
Chapter 28: Dangerous Fairy
Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Dangerous Fairy
Samuel Grant gritted his teeth and asked, "So you have been acting all along, never truly caring for me? Did you know that the person who appeared in the room that night was your uncle, and not mistakenly thought it was me? Was the ten billion dollars you claimed was for commemorating our love also a lie?"
Clara Bennett lowered her enchanting eyes slightly. "Of course, it was to deceive you. Did you really believe it? True love can never be measured with money. Someone who truly loves you would choose to forgive all your mistakes, but at that time, I only cared about your money."
The sarcasm in Clara’s eyes was like a sharp knife, stabbing fiercely into Samuel Grant’s heart, almost driving him insane.
At this moment, she appeared both beautiful and enchanting, like a dangerously alluring fairy.
If anyone were unfortunate enough to be mesmerized by such a woman, the ultimate result would likely be being drained of everything.
Samuel Grant lost his composure, gritting his teeth as he said, "Clara Bennett, so you’ve been playing me all along! You never even considered me!"
Clara responded, "Weren’t you the same? Do you think I’m stupid? You were with me only for my family’s wealth and background. Did you think I was completely unaware? How you treated me was how I repaid you. It was fair, wasn’t it? I’ve never taken advantage of you."
What I’ve done to you doesn’t even reach one-tenth of what you’ve done to me.
Samuel Grant took a deep breath, closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down and stop losing control.
He squinted his eyes and suddenly said, "Why did I always think you were a simple person before? In fact, you’re anything but simple...
Your methods are far more formidable than I imagined. Now I finally see your true colors."
Her entire being emanating sharp edges, she looked like someone not to be messed with.
That inherent coldness and resoluteness made Samuel Grant shiver.
Samuel Grant couldn’t describe the feeling, only realizing Clara Bennett was completely different from before.
The gentle little woman from before was gone, replaced by a calculating, deeply thoughtful woman.
Like two entirely different people.
The present Clara Bennett made him feel both unfamiliar and fearful.
The determination and ruthlessness in her gaze completely exceeded his expectations.
Indeed, after experiencing life and death, Clara Bennett was no longer the one who could be bullied easily.
The weak little lamb had disappeared, and now she wouldn’t easily compromise!
She learned to protect herself and understood how to counterattack, never to be used or deceived by anyone again.
Beneath the moonlight, Clara Bennett’s smile was like a flamboyant blooming flower, "I used to think you were a good person, but it turns out you’re a genuine fraud. I always believed sincerity towards others would bring back the same in return, but reality told me it doesn’t always work that way in this world."
"How others treat me is how I respond. If you’re good to me, I’m good to you. If you pretend to be perfect on the surface, I’ll similarly act naive. Our Bennett family always acts rationally, so even when we were together, though not particularly fond of you, I didn’t intend to embarrass you. But that doesn’t mean I’m inherently weak and easily bullied."
"You betrayed our relationship first; your mother even drugged me, forcing me step by step until I had to take action. I originally wanted to give you a chance to mend things, but unfortunately, you gave it up yourself. All the sordid deeds you committed will be settled one by one in the days to come."
After saying this, Clara Bennett slowly opened the car door, carefully took out a bouquet of white roses, deliberating for a while, eventually drawing out a gleaming dagger.
She deftly toyed with it, "That stab against Daisy Stone wasn’t done by me directly, but if it were you, I could very well handle it myself. Do you want to immediately test my skills here, or are you willing to engage in a small transaction with me?"
Samuel Grant sighed deeply, his face full of helplessness and heavy expression, as if understanding something important in an instant, "I get it."
Seeing Samuel Grant’s helpless look, Clara Bennett put away the chilling dagger with a slight smile on her lips, "That’s much better. Talking more will only waste our precious time."
With that, he silently rose from his seat, seemingly losing all interest in continuing the conversation.
After getting into the car, Clara Bennett, sitting in the passenger seat, raised her eyebrows and said in a flat, slightly provocative tone, "Drive now."
No way around it, though with extreme reluctance in his heart, Samuel Grant could only obediently follow the instructions.
At this moment, he finally realized that the twenty billion he had given before had absolutely no possibility of reclaiming.
Could he really accept all this willingly?
Of course, he couldn’t be willing!
Previously, he always believed Clara Bennett still held some feelings for him, thus probing and even challenging her limits time and again, using the remaining affection as his bargaining chip.
Just like with Daisy Stone, despite nearly costing her her life, she not only chose to forgive but also wanted to continue their lineage.
However, today, faced with Clara Bennett’s decisive attitude, Samuel Grant realized his last shred of hope had been completely shattered, discovering no way to control her anymore.
When the car stopped near the Bennett family’s front door, Samuel Grant had no desire to enter the yard that had once been a haven for him.
Noticing this change, Clara Bennett smiled more gently, with a hint of teasing asking, "What are you afraid of?"
"No, it’s not fear that drives me to do this, I just think handling these matters outside is more convenient."
Samuel Grant hurriedly explained, actually the last people he wanted to meet were Clara’s three brothers.
Under these circumstances, Clara Bennett didn’t force him to change his decision, simply nodded lightly to express understanding, and directly headed towards the door.
At the moment just before stepping into the door, she purposely took off a beautiful scarf she always carried, wrapped it around her neck, covering the striking and ambiguous kiss mark.
This was only done to provoke Samuel Grant, just to see him erupt.
But she didn’t want her family to know about this; otherwise, even if her second brother’s leg was broken, the other two brothers would definitely rush over to reprimand Samuel Grant.
In fact, all the men in the Bennett family adored this only sister.
They would always fulfill Clara Bennett’s requests, no matter how busy they were, making time for meals, chatting, and even occasionally shopping or watching movies with her.
Just as Clara Bennett entered, she ran into a few brothers.
