The 'Defective' Billionaire and His Relentless Appetite for Me -
Chapter 37 Unexpected
Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Unexpected
Although from the outside, the Foster family’s current situation indeed seems to have declined, they still possess enough capability to deal with themselves.
To ensure her safety is no longer threatened, she urgently needs to find new support to provide protection and backing.
Clara Bennett is apparently willing to play such a role, but she also raised two conditions.
First, there’s a need to obtain some key information regarding the company managed by Samuel Grant.
Second, no matter what, the life of the child in her womb must be preserved.
For this reason, at this stage, Daisy Stone still needs to continue showing a vulnerable and helpless side in front of Samuel Grant and also maintain a quiet appearance of rest at home.
On the other hand, Samuel Grant also seems to have realized that his previous actions of nearly endangering the safety of his mother and child for career progress were extremely excessive, resulting in a recent improvement in his attitude towards her.
Upon learning of this, Clara Bennett was very pleased and encouraged, "Very good, just keep things as they are. Besides that, is there anything else that needs reporting?"
In fact, there really was something Daisy Stone felt was necessary to explain clearly to the other party:
"Oh right, yesterday I unintentionally overheard Samuel Grant talking on the phone with his close friend. During the call, he claimed that there was never any romantic involvement between us, and that the arranged meeting was merely a formality set up by both families out of their wishes. Furthermore, he also revealed that the person you’ve always been fond of is actually his uncle in the family."
At this point, Daisy Stone couldn’t help but pause, "I wonder if this matter would negatively impact the plans we had previously made?"
Clara Bennett fiddled with her hair, lightly twirling a strand and then letting it go, with a hint of amusement in her eyes as she said, "It won’t have any impact, don’t worry. I instructed him to say those things, and he still listens quite well, so don’t worry or interfere with him anymore. Besides, tomorrow at 5 PM, I will have someone deliver a package to you, which incidentally contains a new phone. From then on, use this new phone to maintain contact with me."
Hearing this, Daisy Stone frowned and looked in Clara Bennett’s direction in confusion, asking, "But why do I have to use the phone you provided? Is there any special significance in doing so?"
Clara Bennett sighed softly at this, her tone becoming a bit more patient as she explained, "You can certainly use your original phone, but if Samuel Grant discovers our communication, what kind of action do you think someone with his character would take against those who betray him? Let them go, or..."
She deliberately paused at this point, making the atmosphere heavier, "You know how terrifying the consequences could be."
This last sentence seemed like a cold breath blowing across Daisy Stone’s face, making her feel a chill spreading from the base of her spine to every part of her body.
Thinking of this, Daisy Stone’s breathing involuntarily quickened.
Even though she now greatly despised Samuel Grant and even took on great risks to secretly reach some sort of tacit cooperative relationship with Clara Bennett, there was still an inexplicable sense of fear towards this man in her heart.
After all, it’s a well-known fact that Samuel Grant is completely unpredictable and extremely ruthless in his actions.
In reality, regarding the true nature of Samuel Grant—how malicious and beyond redemption he could be—Daisy Stone had heard about this early on and had no doubt about it.
Although she herself is not someone morally impeccable, at least to some extent she still holds onto a baseline, unwilling to compare herself to someone with such notorious behavior as Samuel Grant.
"Alright, alright, I know what to do now," finally, Daisy Stone reluctantly nodded, indicating her acceptance of such an arrangement.
After saying all of this, Clara Bennett deftly pressed the hang-up button to end the call, then picked up the thick script on the table and began to study it carefully.
At the same time, in William Foster’s luxurious suburban villa, he was sitting in a spacious, well-lit study, experimentally putting on a newly delivered pair of contact lenses.
Strictly speaking, these were not just ordinary cosmetic lenses, but more like a special product that could completely change the clarity of vision.
After wearing them and looking in the mirror, it really gave the impression of having lost normal eyesight.
However, this effect was exactly what William Foster was pleased to achieve, because it meant he could openly communicate with his dearest wife, without having to worry about other external inconveniences.
Thinking of the wonderful moments to come, William Foster felt particularly joyful and delighted.
At the same time, he turned his attention back to the pile of documents scattered on the desk, preparing to further acclimate to the unique perspective of the specially designed contact lenses...
To be safe, he also carefully considered putting on an additional pair of regular glasses.
With this dual protection, Clara Bennett should not discover he is pretending to be blind.
Hmm, the glasses need to be stylish to appear more convincing.
Thinking of this, William Foster suddenly had an idea, deciding to let Clara Bennett help him choose a pair of glasses.
He would pretend to be unable to see and ask her to pick a good-looking pair for him.
That way, the ones Clara selects are sure to be a style she likes.
At this moment, Arthur Davis walked in to report: "Mr. William Foster, there are some rumors outside about Samuel Grant and the Young Madam."
William Foster’s expression immediately turned gloomy, as if his previous good mood was instantly devoured.
Having followed William Foster for many years, Arthur Davis knew he needed to cut to the chase, so he quickly said, "Mr. William Foster, it’s actually a good thing."
William Foster frowned, puzzled, and asked, "How can something related to Samuel Grant be a good thing?"
Though filled with doubts, he closed the file in his hand, ready to listen to see what the situation actually was.
Arthur Davis then explained, "Yesterday, Samuel Grant claimed that he and the Young Madam have never been involved romantically, and that they were simply forced to participate in a matchmaking event arranged by the family. Their actions were merely to put on a show. Apparently, the Young Madam approached him completely out of interest in you. However, he didn’t mention your name specifically, only hinted that the Young Madam is interested in his uncle."
Hearing this news, William Foster was momentarily stunned, feeling that this was simply an unbelievable thing.
Indeed, this matter does sound very bizarre.
William Foster incredulously asked, "Is this true?"
Arthur Davis nodded, answering, "It’s true; this rumor started spreading early this morning, and it seems Samuel Grant is not taking any action to stop it."
William Foster suddenly laughed, inwardly amazed, thinking, isn’t this like the sun rising in the west?
This situation is indeed too unexpected.
