Chapter 2 The Elegant, Self-esteemed Benjamin
When Madelyn walked into the house, she found Camila sitting on the sofa with a dull expression.
Her eyes were red. It seemed like she had cried a while ago.
Madelyn looked around and asked, "Camila, what happened? Where's Dad?"
Camila Logan was the second wife of Madelyn's father.
Camila lashed out when she heard Madelyn's question.
"Daniel is so ungrateful and ruthless!!!"
"Several years ago, when the Campbell Group was in crisis, you didn't leave him. Now the situation finally got better, but he dumped you and even wanted to send your father to jail. Your father is now detained."
"Madelyn, I told you long ago that Daniel wasn't the right one for you. But you didn't listen to me."
Camila continuously complained about Daniel.
Madelyn was dumbfounded. After a while, she said, "Mom, don't be too anxious. I'll ask Daniel about this."
Madelyn thought even if they separated, at least she was once his girlfriend, so Daniel wouldn't be too ruthless to her.
She dialed Daniel and it was gotten through soon.
Madelyn said with an extremely humble attitude, "Daniel, we've broken up. I beg you not to vent your anger on my father."
Daniel sneered.
He said, "Someone has to be responsible for the losses. It's a large sum."
Madelyn still wanted to beg for his forgiveness.
But Daniel changed the topic. "There is another out. But I wonder if you're willing or not. Madelyn, as long as you can be my mistress for five years, I'll let go of your father." Madelyn was stunned.
She hadn't expected that Daniel would be so shameless. He wanted both his career, backer and her body!
Madelyn trembled violently due to anger and snapped, "Daniel, you disgusted me."
Daniel didn't care about it at all. He chuckled and said, "I think you've known who I am long ago."
Madelyn clenched her teeth tightly.
She said firmly, "I won't be your mistress. Not on your life!"
Daniel said angrily, "Then you'd better hire a lawyer for your father. Madelyn, don't blame me for having not reminded you in advance. For such a large sum of economic criminal, he should be sentenced to at least ten years!"
"I'll hire the best lawyer," said Madelyn with a sneer.
"Do you mean Benjamin Clark?" Daniel smiled calmly and continued, "Madelyn, did you forget that he's the brother of my future wife? Will he represent you?"
Madelyn felt cold from head to toe.
Daniel said casually, "Madelyn, I'll wait for you to beg me."
When Madelyn ended the call, Camila lashed out.
"Son of bitch!"
"His wish! We won't send you to him even if we have to die!"
Then she suddenly shed tears as she said, "Mr. Clark is the brother of this ungrateful man's future wife. How will he help us? Madelyn, can you think of a way out?" Madelyn looked down at the ground.
After a while, she said in a low voice, "I know Mr. Clark, but we just met once. I'll have a try."
Camila was a sensitive woman.
When she smelled the alcohol from Madelyn and noticed the male jacket on her shoulders, she realized what had happened.
But she didn't point it out.
It was not easy for Madelyn to meet Benjamin.
In the hall of Bravo Legal Firm, the female receptionist said in a polite yet alienated tone, "Sorry, Miss, I can't let you go upstairs if you don't have an appointment."
Madelyn was so regretful that she didn't take Benjamin's name card last tame.
She asked, "When will I be able to see Mr. Clark if I make an appointment now?"
The female receptionist checked it on her computer and then replied, "At least half a month."
Madelyn got anxious.
Right at this moment, the doors of the elevator in the corner of the hall were opened and a man and a woman walked out of the elevator.
The man was none other than Benjamin.
He was elegantly dressed in a black-and-white business suit. He looked just like an elite.
While the woman was a sexy noble lady in her thirties.
Benjamin spotted Madelyn as soon as he walked out of the elevator, but he acted as if he didn't know her and focused on sending his client to the door.
He acted properly and shook hands with the woman to bid farewell.
The woman said in a coquettish voice, "Mr. Clark, thank you for your hard work. Otherwise, I won't be able to divorce him and divide his property so smoothly. You have no idea about how mean he was to me after he got his new lover."
Benjamin smiled calmly and said, "That's my duty."
The woman then asked proactively, "Mr. Clark, would you like to have a drink with me tonight?"
Madelyn landed her gaze on the woman. She thought that that woman did have a wonderful figure that many men couldn't refuse.
But Benjamin was not an ordinary man.
He raised his wrist to check the time and then declined, "Sorry, I have an appointment tonight."
That woman was very sensible. She knew she was not Benjamin's type.
She bid farewell coquettishly, got into her car, and then drove away.
After sending his client off, Benjamin especially stopped before the reception.
Looking at Madelyn, he asked, "Did you change your mind?"
