Chapter 20: Double Payback

In the next room, Daniel Wright and Arthur Davis were both stunned by the scene before them, while William Foster smiled. Looking at the woman calmly handling the situation on the screen, his eyes seemed to shine with a fiery intensity. After Clara Bennett left, William Foster stood up and said calmly, "Have all the hotel’s surveillance footage wiped clean." "As you command, Boss Foster, but as for the Young Madam..." Daniel Wright asked. William Foster raised an eyebrow, "Since our little boss wants to handle it herself, let her try. There’s no need to interfere too much." For his smart and capable wife, she doesn’t require outside help to manage everything. At this moment, William Foster suddenly realized how ridiculous his previous worries were, why he doubted their relationship in a moment of impulsiveness? He truly needs to reflect on himself. Turns out men can also have a hard time controlling their emotions when jealous. As he drove away from the hotel, while waiting at the red light, he accidentally spotted Clara Bennett shopping on the street corner. Feeling a stir in his heart, he said to Arthur Davis, "Let’s swap clothes." Arthur Davis looked at him, puzzled: "What???" Soon, wearing Arthur Davis’s jacket, William Foster got out of the car, quickly caught up, and bought the same items from the same store. Under the night sky, he followed Clara Bennett at a distance. In the summer evenings, people like to stroll around, enjoying the cool breeze and tasting delicious food. Clara Bennett was in a good mood, shopping and buying snacks along the way. William Foster secretly followed behind, trying the same ice cream. He found it sweeter than what he usually preferred. Next, he tried the fried chicken, realizing it was heavily flavored with mustard; he observed her interest in cats—perhaps they could get a pet cat together in the future? He followed her all the way back to the car, then handed everything he bought to Arthur Davis, who was sitting in the driver’s seat. Arthur Davis hesitated for a moment but picked up the food: "Boss Foster... what’s going on?" William Foster responded softly, "Just eat it." Arthur Davis’s eyes brightened like a child getting a new toy, feeling deeply moved: The master really is considerate! Arthur Davis silently thought to himself: How fortunate he is to work under such a great leader. The whole journey back was filled with thoughts of Clara Bennett’s smile, making William Foster more eager—wanting to bring her home soon. Clara Bennett had no idea William Foster had been secretly observing her all along. After returning home, she had a good sleep, and the next morning, after breakfast and dressing up, she bought a bouquet and went to the hospital at ten o’clock. Samuel Grant had a terribly chaotic night; hearing her voice, he looked up to see Clara Bennett holding a colorful bouquet, radiating with brilliance. This beauty walked up to him, smiled, and said, "Congratulations, I heard the child is safe." Samuel Grant’s face turned dark and dreadful, clenching his fists, he gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want here?" Clara Bennett replied, "I came to tell you something. I want to prepare more bride price for your little uncle, so we’ve raised the agreed amount. If you want all the evidence gone, it’ll cost two billion." Samuel Grant trembled with fury: "Cold-hearted woman! Betraying me!" Clara Bennett calmly responded, "You’re agitated because you have a guilty conscience, right? Besides, your dear uncle is marrying his ex-girlfriend; isn’t it reasonable for a nephew to send a wedding gift?" These words made Samuel Grant lose control in anger. Then, Clara Bennett walked into the hospital room. Daisy Stone lay on the bed, tightly clutching her hands, quietly looking out the window. Clara Bennett raised an eyebrow, arranged the flowers in a vase, then took out a piece of paper from her bag and handed it to Daisy Stone: "You should realize that if there’s an opportunity, Samuel Grant will definitely sacrifice you for his gain. Such a person is not worth relying on. I’m now pointing you to a clear path: whenever you make up your mind, contact me, I can help you leave, and provide living expenses for you to peacefully nurture your pregnancy." After speaking, Clara Bennett didn’t rush for a response but slowly left. As she was about to walk out of the room, she heard Daisy Stone ask, "Why?" Turning back to look at her, Clara Bennett asked, "Why what?" Daisy Stone said, "Why should I trust you? And why are you targeting Samuel Grant?" "Ever since young, I was a child beloved and cherished, but Samuel Grant repeatedly humiliated me, now I’m just returning the favor." Regarding Samuel Grant’s resentment, Clara Bennett’s heart only harbors hatred. ... Samuel Grant was forced to borrow money everywhere, but no one was willing to help him. Who dares to assist after Boss Foster issued warnings? Samuel Grant was almost on the verge of collapse and had no choice but to grit his teeth and call William Foster’s butler. Butler Zam’s attitude was okay: "The master said promises must be kept, the last agreed loan is still valid, but the terms haven’t changed, does Mr. Grant still remember?" Samuel Grant took a deep breath, suppressing his discomfort, said, "I remember, I’ll comply with the rules. Is my uncle back home yet?" The other side responded blandly: "The master has moved to a new place, the address will be sent shortly." Samuel Grant smiled and expressed his thanks, just about to speak a few courteous words when he heard a cold voice nearby ask: "Who called?" On the other end, Butler Zam respectfully said: "It’s Samuel Grant, wanting to borrow money from you." Upon hearing this, Samuel Grant felt humiliated, even through the phone, he could feel his cheeks burning with shame and embarrassment. Clearly, William Foster did not care about him at all. But what shocked him the most was the icy voice that followed from the receiver: "The consequences of being arrogant last time, you’ve tasted it. According to my rules, you must act like a dog." Samuel Grant reluctantly answered: "...Yes, uncle, I remember, I’ll comply." William Foster: "Since you’re a dog, you should look like one, with ears and a tail. Also, I don’t like barking fools, so you’ll need to wear a muzzle." Samuel Grant: "!!!" William Foster spared no effort in humiliating Samuel Grant, his attitude extremely malicious. Samuel Grant had heard about William Foster’s ruthless, sinister nature, but after experiencing it firsthand, he realized the family’s depiction was truly fitting—a living King Yama, deserving of the title demon! But Samuel Grant had no options left, so he had to endure this humiliation temporarily. He told himself deep down that a man should be able to endure grievances, only by tolerating them now could there be a chance to turn the tables in the future. He was short of money, and the only one willing to lend him money was William Foster. After hanging up, William Foster seemed to be in a good mood, saying, "Get ready, tonight I have important guests to entertain." Zam seemed somewhat surprised: "Important guests? Could it be Samuel Grant?" William Foster: "He doesn’t reach that level." Zam laughed: "Precisely because it’s not him, I’m all the more curious about who this esteemed guest is, so I can prepare accordingly." William Foster said, "She will be the future new mistress of the Foster family."
