Chapter 9: The Wild Kitten

He was driving while calling Daisy Stone, wanting to check on Clara Bennett’s status and how the video recording was going. But as he turned a corner, he saw the street crowded with people, not only police but also many reporters. Samuel Grant’s heart raced, what was going on? The call he made to Daisy Stone went unanswered, but then he got a call from Clara Bennett. For some reason, a foreboding feeling surged in his heart instantly. The park that was supposed to be calm tonight became unusually lively. "Found them! They’re over there!" Following a shout from a good Samaritan, Clara Bennett and the police rushed to the scene. Along came many onlookers and reporters covering the news. Clara Bennett screamed as soon as she recognized Daisy Stone: "That’s Daisy!" At this moment, Daisy Stone lay naked on the ground, and her posture immediately revealed what had happened. Clara Bennett immediately covered her face with one hand, looking completely devastated. The police quickly went forward to cover Daisy Stone with clothing and began to disperse the crowd. "The ambulance is here, let’s get her to the hospital first." One of the officers said. Clara Bennett nodded tearfully, saying to Daisy Stone, "Daisy, please be okay." Five minutes later, Clara Bennett got on the ambulance with Daisy Stone on the stretcher and then dialed Samuel Grant’s number. "Hello, Clara?" Samuel Grant’s voice trembled when he answered the phone. "It’s me, Samuel, something happened to Daisy." Clara Bennett replied. Samuel Grant’s heart sank, as if he had been doused in cold water: "What happened? What exactly happened?" Clara Bennett hesitated, unable to explain clearly: "Samuel, we need to go to the hospital now, you should come quickly, we’ll talk there." After hanging up, Samuel Grant watched the ambulance drive past his car. After a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth, immediately reversed, and followed it. His mind was a mess along the way, and he was extremely tense and uneasy. Weren’t they supposed to be at the bar? Why are they here now? More importantly, why was Daisy Stone injured and needed to be transported by ambulance? Samuel Grant drove with a grim expression, following the ambulance. Meanwhile, Daniel Wright watched everything unfold from afar, a cigarette dangling from his mouth as he sighed endlessly. He knew they were going to the hospital, so he didn’t hurry but dialed William Foster’s number to report the situation. At that moment, William Foster, who was training at the shooting range, answered the call, raising the gun in his hand, wearing a cold expression as he aimed at the moving target. "Bang—" A perfect ten-ring shot. The phone rang, William Foster answered: "What’s up? Did the Young Madam meet Samuel Grant?" William Foster thought, did the little cat really meet that troublesome person behind his back? Daniel Wright reluctantly said, "They met, but not really." William Foster frowned: "What do you mean by that?" Daniel Wright explained the whole story to him, then added, "Boss Foster, I saw with my own eyes the Young Madam swapped the drink. That woman wanted to harm her, but not only did the Young Madam let her drink it, she also swapped clothes with her. Then two thugs took that woman somewhere else, it should have been her asking for it, and instead, she mistook the Young Madam as the target. That’s really asking for trouble. This incident is causing a big stir, it’ll definitely be trending tomorrow, the Young Madam is truly ruthless." Today Daniel Wright witnessed what a ruthless woman is, and he decided never to provoke women again. And Boss Foster actually dares to marry such a fierce woman? Unexpectedly, William Foster was not only unperturbed but also somewhat proud, saying: "My woman, William Foster’s woman, has to be like that." The docile sheep are the most boring, all those women want to become his sheep. Without doing anything, they could get his protection and enjoy wealth and luxury, who wouldn’t want that? But he wanted someone like Clara Bennett. She’s like a little wildcat, interesting, beautiful, captivating, sharp-tongued, vindictive, and protective. Whenever he thought of her protective demeanor, William Foster felt very happy. William Foster said, "You come back, don’t follow them anymore, the Young Madam doesn’t need protection, nor does she want to be monitored." Daniel Wright replied, "Yes, Boss Foster." After hanging up, William Foster picked up the gun again and wiped it. Samuel Grant had done something that displeased him greatly. "Why not just get rid of you now?" He pulled the trigger, aiming at a moving target, his eyes filled with menace. As if the shot hit the bullseye, seemingly also hitting Samuel Grant’s heart. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger: "Forget it, I’ll spare your life, after all, she hasn’t had enough fun yet." In the hospital, Daisy Stone was sent for a check-up, and Clara Bennett was hiding in the fire escape making a call to James Bennett. When James Bennett answered the call, Clara Bennett succinctly said: "Big brother, you need to come to the hospital quickly, something happened to Daisy while we were out together and I’m waiting for Samuel Grant here, I don’t want to see him alone." Upon hearing this, James Bennett immediately got up: "I’m coming right away, is the bodyguard still with you? Have him protect you and not leave your side for a moment." Clara Bennett responded: "He’s been with me the whole time, don’t worry." After hanging up, Clara Bennett went out and said to the bodyguard, "Don’t let my brother know you lost track of me, just say you were with me all day, that way it’s good for both of us, got it?" The bodyguard hesitated: "But miss..." Clara Bennett patted his shoulder: "You’ve been loyal to my brother for so many years, this was just a small mishap, I’m fine, I just don’t want him to worry." The bodyguard reluctantly agreed. After entering the bar, Clara Bennett didn’t let the bodyguard follow her, fearing he would mess things up, so she simply sent him away, but this kind of thing wasn’t necessary to tell her brother. Her ruthlessness was reserved for her enemies, but in front of her family, this time she wanted to be a good daughter to her parents, a good sister to her brother. She plans to show the worst side of herself to her enemies and keep the kindest side for her loved ones. Samuel Grant arrived quickly, but he pretended he was rushing there the whole time. The police stopped him immediately: "Sir, please do not enter." Clara Bennett quickly approached to explain: "Officer, Daisy is his sister-in-law, they’re family." Samuel Grant glanced at the police, then his eyes rested on Clara Bennett, his expression grim as he asked: "What’s going on? What exactly happened?" Clara Bennett knew how much Samuel Grant cared for Daisy Stone, so she feigned an extremely guilty look and said: "It’s all my fault. After learning about my breakup, Daisy said she wanted to take me to the bar to relax. But she drank too much, and I supported her out of the bar intending to buy her some hangover medicine. Unexpectedly, in that short time, she was suddenly taken away by some people. By the time I found her, those bad people had already hurt Daisy — woo woo woo." After hearing this, Samuel Grant’s expression became very unpleasant.
