A deal with the devil
Chapter 72 Kamualâs thoughts turned to last night when Shirley had driven Benjaminâs Bugatti. The incident had been pushed to the back of his mind doe to Sophia fainting suddenly, but now it resurfaced vividly. His expression darkened gradually as the memory took hold He instinctively reached for his phone, ready to instruct someone to investigate Just now, Shirleyâs voice, tinged with delight, rang out clearly Bendamin, this is the way to the Weiss Residenceâ
Samuelâs eyes shifted to Shirley, her face glowing with happiness as she looked at Benjamin. A shy blush spread across her cheeks, adding a touch of charm that made her appear breathtakingly radiant This version of Shirley wasnât unfamiliar to Samuel He had seen her wear this expression countless times after he kissed herâcheaks flushed, eyes filled with bashful allure. It was a sight so insistible it awakened a raw, primal desire to dam ber entirely, as if noching less would satisfy him But why was Shirley looking at Benjamin like that now?
What had happened between them in that car? Why did she appear as though she had just been passionately adored by a man?
Watching her like this ignited a storm within Samuelâa mix of turning rage and an unsettling pang of fear.
âBenjamin, this is the way to the Weiss residence.â Shirley repeated joyfully, Benjamin nodded.
Khirley, dearly stated by his reply, beamed âI call Arthur to bring Damian over too, okuly?â
Benjamin closed his eyes, his long fingers rapping lazily against the car door, exuding a relaxed yet commanding presence. âAs you wish.â
Wasting no come, Shirley pulled out her phone and made the call. After hanging up, she turned back to Benjamin with an excited book âSomeone delivered some seafood to our house earlier. Letâs have seafood for dinner tonightâ
Rachel will definitely be thrilled to know Benjamin is coming Benjamin opened his eyes, his cool gaze resting on her. After a moment, he spoke a single word. âOkay.â
Shirley let out a sigh of relief, her delicate face seeming to radiate a soft glow, exuding a warmth that felt as soothing as a gentle spring breeze Yet through it all, Shirley remained unaware of Samuelâs presence in the nearby car. Her focus was entirely on Benjamin, her every action reflecting a cautious effort to please him tamuel observed this scene and he was wondering why Shirley was trying to please Benjamin.
His gaze fell on Benjaminâs tapping fingers, specifically the glinting diamond ring on his fourth finger, which caught the sunlight in a way that made it impossible to igrace.
Samuelâs face grew colder as he reached for his carâs window control and rolled it up without a word.
He then de ected his question to Billy, who was seated in the front. âIs Owen still in the hospital?
Billy hesitated, startled by the unexpected inquiry. Ever since the annulment, Samuel had only mentioned the Weiss family once, asking offhandedly, âOwenâs not dead, is he?â
Bly had replied. âHeâs not dead. Still alive.â
After that, Samuel had never brought them up again until now.
Billyâs gaze flickered briefly before he replied truthfully after a momentâs silence. âAlter the car accident, Owen fell into a coma and hasnât regained consciousness. He was recently brought back to the Weiss Betidance. â
âOwenâs sti In a coma?â
