Chapter 18: Favoritism and Blindness?

Once the call was connected, William Foster’s tone sounded very displeased: "What happened? What situation has come up this time?" Daniel Wright was momentarily unsure how to explain, so he said, "Boss Foster, currently the Young Madam is fine, I’m observing the situation in the room next to hers. But the matter is a bit complicated, and I’m not very clear on the specifics, so it would be best if you could come and take a look." After speaking, Daniel added, "Actually, the Young Madam is fine right now, and there’s no grudge with Samuel Grant, especially given the current situation. It also doesn’t seem quite appropriate for you to come directly and handle it." If this were about catching someone in the act, Boss Foster could rush over directly. But the current situation was evidently more complicated, and Daniel Wright hadn’t figured out what had happened. Wait a minute, before figuring out this chaotic mess, he first needed to understand wasn’t it supposed to be a meeting between two people, how did it turn into three? William Foster trusted Daniel Wright wouldn’t make things up, so after pausing for a moment, he had Arthur Davis push him into the hotel. Meanwhile, in Clara Bennett’s room, the tension had reached its peak. Daisy Stone looked down at Samuel Grant lying on the ground, then glared fiercely at Clara Bennett: "Clara Bennett, I’ll fight you!" Clara Bennett rotated the knife handle in her hand coldly: "I generally don’t want to deal with pregnant women, please consider more for the child in your belly." Samuel Grant gently tugged at Daisy Stone, signaling her to act. Taking a deep breath, Daisy Stone suddenly rushed forward to pounce on Clara Bennett, shouting, "You wicked woman, you already have William Foster but still seduce Samuel Grant, caught red-handed by me, I’m going to make this known!" Facing Daisy Stone’s sudden attack, Clara Bennett swiftly stepped back, her face filled with displeasure: "I said I wouldn’t lay a hand on pregnant women, don’t push your luck." "That’s not for you to decide!" Daisy Stone suddenly said quietly, then taking advantage of Clara Bennett’s confused expression, she fiercely grabbed Clara Bennett’s knife-wielding wrist and stabbed it toward her own belly. "Pfft," the sharp sound of metal piercing flesh followed. The pain instantly made Daisy Stone break out in a sweat, but she forced herself to endure the suffering and screamed loudly: "Help! Samuel Grant, save me! Clara Bennett you vicious woman, actually laying hands on a pregnant woman, a madwoman!" As her voice fell, Daisy Stone slowly collapsed to the ground. Clara Bennett’s hand had long released the knife, but Daisy Stone’s blood still covered her hands. There, Samuel Grant got up, not heading towards Daisy Stone, but instead bending over to pick up the camcorder. Everything was clearly recorded by the camcorder. He smiled at Clara Bennett: "Clara Bennett, now I have the right to talk with you, don’t I?" In another room, when William Foster arrived, Daniel Wright opened the door to let him in, then left for a moment. When he brought William Foster back to the computer screen again, what was visible was the scene of Clara Bennett stabbing Daisy Stone. Daniel Wright: "???" At this moment, Clara Bennett’s hands were covered in blood, just looking at the scene it seemed like she had been caught by Daisy Stone, and then ruthlessly attacked! How could it be... This was only half a minute later, and the Young Madam actually acted! This was so ruthless! William Foster watched the video of Clara Bennett. Daniel Wright wasn’t sure how to explain: "Before... things were fine, and that Daisy Stone was always causing a fuss, how did the Young Madam suddenly stab someone in a blink? William Foster didn’t say a word. Arthur Davis remained calm, asking William Foster: "Boss Foster, should I go handle it—" William Foster: "No need." Daniel Wright looked at William Foster’s expressionless face and immediately passed judgment on Clara Bennett in his heart. It seems tonight, this newly arrived Young Madam is going to be abandoned. Indeed, already being together with Boss Foster, yet she still messed around with her old flame, ultimately killing someone to cover up, such a woman couldn’t possibly receive his help. Boss Foster probably has decided to give up on her by now. Daniel Wright glanced at Daisy Stone who was lying on the ground, thinking she was still a pregnant woman, finding Clara Bennett’s actions too vicious. But at this moment, William Foster suddenly asked: "Arthur Davis, do you really think it was the Young Madam who acted?" Arthur Davis shook his head: "I don’t know." William Foster said: "I don’t think so, because she isn’t that kind of person." Daniel Wright was extremely surprised and said directly: "But this video is live broadcast, can’t be fake, we saw it with our own eyes, why does Boss Foster still firmly believe this isn’t the truth?" Is it because of blind favoritism? Actually, from the past few incidents, the Young Madam’s ruthlessness has already been shown, before Daisy Stone tried to give her trouble, and she also met tit for tat. Even Samuel Grant couldn’t get the upper hand with her. Not to mention now Clara Bennett’s cold expression looks like that of a veteran, as if there’s considerable blood on her hands. Despite this, William Foster still stared deeply at the screen image of Clara Bennett, even with blood dripping from her hands, William Foster still stood by her side: "I believe she wouldn’t do something like that." Not because he was certain, but choosing to believe. Thus, this truly was a kind of unsupported trust. This left Daniel Wright and Arthur Davis in shock. In William Foster’s world, suspicion always took precedence, as the man standing at the pinnacle of power was approached endlessly by others trying to use, deceive, and hypocritically draw near him, whereas Boss Foster seemed able to see through everything, hence not easily trusting anyone. But at this moment, even with all the evidence right before his eyes, William Foster still chose to believe Clara Bennett. Daniel Wright was shocked. This woman, indeed, from every angle, seemed extraordinary. In the room, Clara Bennett lightly smiled: "So this is what you set up for me, an intricate trap. By your statement, me and Samuel Grant were caught in the hotel having an affair by Daisy Stone, then she was silenced because she walked in on us. Hold on, Samuel Grant, it’s us that came to the hotel, shouldn’t it be that we conspired to murder her?" Samuel Grant smirked disdainfully: "Don’t push all the blame onto me. A man making such mistakes is normal, it was your active seduction that caused my momentary lapse. Everyone will understand my plight, but what about you? You killed Daisy Stone with your own hands, taking the unborn child with her, now there’s no escaping the law’s punishment." Clara Bennett frowned slightly: "There’s something off here." Samuel Grant grew wary: "What’s off?" Clara Bennett turned around to find some tissues, carefully wiping the bloodstains from her hands. At this time, Daisy Stone was still bleeding continuously, while the two nearby were indifferent. To Clara Bennett, Daisy Stone’s life had nothing to do with her; as for Samuel Grant, at that moment he even thought: perhaps letting Daisy Stone go like this was actually good for her—in that case wouldn’t Clara Bennett obediently submit to him?
