Chapter 137
A deal with the devil
Chapter 137 The top priority was to handle the compensation process properly to prevent further disturbances that could disrupt future training sessions.
Still puzzled, Shirley watched as the driver retumed to the car to report to Benjamin Curious, she followed him from a distance.
It turned out that the driver had purchased Turbo Impactâs land at the same price Richard had offered, but he promised that Turbo Impact would not shut down How long it would remain operational would depend on the teamâs future performance.
Additionally, Benjamin had become Turbo Impactâs primary shareholder, taking full responsibility for the teamâs funding Inother words, although the team still belonged to Tomas, it had a powerful financial backer. This meant that Tomas could focus entirely on training racers without worrying about the teamâs financial constraints.
Most importantly, he no longer had to fear Richardâs underhanded tactics.
Benjamin also intended to hold Richard accountable and ensure that the damages and injuries the team suffered would not go unpaid Even though Tomas had sold the land to Benjamin at a low price, he was overjoyed. He had sold it with dignity and preserved the dream he had shared with Tristan.
Once the driver finished his report, he went backinside.
As the car window slowly rolled up, Shirley stepped forward and tapped on the glass. âBenjamin.â
The window lowered again, revealing his handsome, dignified face. His deep, dark eyes locked onto her radiant expression.
A bright smile lit up shirleyâs face. âBenjamin, congratulations on acquiring the land! Do you believe that my luck is good?â
The biggest winner was undoubtedly Benjamin He had secured such a massive plot of land for just one hundred million dollars. At the auction, it could easily fetch several times that amount. It was practically a windfall.
And this good fortune was something she had brought him. Shouldnât he be grateful?
Benjamin responded with a faint âHmmâ, acknowledging her.
Hmm? She blinked. He actually didnât argue with her for once!
Shirleyâs smile grew more radiant. Her eyes sparkled like two crescents of moonlight. âSo, how do you plan to thank me?
Benjamin studied her carefully. Her rosy lips, bright eyes, and charming smile exuded allure. Her face was as lovely as a peach blossom, but there silliness in her grin that made her seem a bit naive.
Without thinking, he blurted out, âIdiot,â
was a trace of Shirleyâs smile froze. âWhy did you have to insult me for no reason?â
Benjamin remained indifferent and beckoned her closer with his finger, âYou heard what Tomas said. I gave you the opportunity, but you did nothing. If I hadnât come today, this massive plot of land would have fallen into someone elseâs hands. So, tell me, what good is your soâcalled luck?â
With that, he flicked her forehead with his finger, âOuch!â Shirley yelped, covering her forehead as she frowned in pain. She glared at him with her bright, indignant eyes but didnât dare retaliate A low, amused chuckle escaped from Benjaminâs throat. âFool.â
Shirley clenched her teeth. âAt least it proves I bring prosperity to my husband!â
The moment the words left her mouth, she wished she could dig a hole and hide in it. How embarrassing!
