Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn)
Chapter 134 A Fair Exchange

Chapter 134 A Fair Exchange

Daniel remained unmoved, his muscles tense like stone.

His gaze was piercing.

"I'm not crazy!" he stated firmly, locking his gaze onto hers. "It's all my fault! Let's start over, Madelyn. This time, I'll treat you better!"

Despite her relationship with Benjamin, he was still determined to win her back.

Madelyn was stunned.

When she finally came to her senses, Daniel had already seized her face, poised to kiss her passionately.

She turned her head away, denying him his advances.

His lips still grazed her delicate cheek, leaving a slight trace of moisture.

Madelyn fiercely pushed him away, her breaths coming in short gasps.

With a scowl, she wanted to make it crystal clear that she had no interest in his investments or compensation.

Between them, there was no need for any further connection!

Not far away, Benjamin stood smoking.

His deep gaze was fixed on them, cold as if watching an unrelated love affair unfold before him.

Madelyn's legs suddenly gave out, and she had to steady herself against the wall to avoid collapsing onto the ground.

Daniel also saw noticed Benjamin's presence.

His voice grew hoarse, "Madelyn, as soon as you say the word, I'll break off the engagement now, I'll marry you, and we'll have a few children together."

His proposal was tempting, but it wasn't what Madelyn truly desired.

The one she longed for was gazing at her with cold eyes.

She looked helplessly at Benjamin...

With that, Daniel felt an icy chill run through his body.

Before today, there might have been a glimmer of hope, but now it was clear that he had lost Madelyn forever.

It was a fierce battle between three people, but ultimately it was a world of just two.

He Daniel Campbell was merely an outsider, unable to win Madelyn's heart. She only saw Benjamin Clark!

Daniel retreated.

As he passed by Benjamin, he heard the cold voice of the naturally superior man.

"Daniel Campbell, I don't like other people touching my things!" He announced.

Daniel was stunned.

He had dealt with him for a long time but never thought he would act like this. Benjamin usually had little interest in anything, especially in women! This was the first time he showed his possessiveness! But now, Daniel couldn't help but wonder if he had misjudged Benjamin all this time.

Perhaps, in the future, Benjamin would be willing to enter into a marriage.

All because of one person, Madelyn.

And it was Madelyn who had made him crave and desire for the sanctity of marriage.

Madelyn got into Benjamin's car.

She immediately smelled the alcohol on his body, realizing that he had attended a congratulatory banquet that evening, but he unexpectedly caught her "love affair".

For some reason, Madelyn didn't want to sour their relationship.

So she whispered, "The music studio is raising funds, and he asked someone to sign an intention contract with us. Actually, I didn't know it was him."

But Benjamin remained silent.

He lit a cigarette and slowly smoked it...

Once he had finished, he turned to look at her.

"Why bother explaining?" he said.

"After all, we're just in a physical relationship, aren't we?"

Heard that, Madelyn's eyes turned red, and she lowered her head without a word.

She had learned early on that Benjamin's temper was unpredictable, and it was never wise to argue with him.

Benjamin stared at her for a long time.

Abruptly, he announced, "I want to come over to your place!"

Madelyn was taken aback, wondering if she had correctly interpreted his intentions - did he want to go to her apartment and be intimate with her? Such aggressive behavior hinted at some kind of pent-up frustration.

Madelyn turned her head slightly and gazed out of the car window, lost in thought for a moment.

Eventually, she softly murmured, "Mmm," seemingly agreeing to his proposal.

Benjamin lightly pressed on the accelerator, the car speeding forward.

They quickly came to a halt outside Madelyn's apartment.

Madelyn led him inside, feeling a sense of unease.

"What can I get you to drink?" she inquired.

However, before she could even get a response, Benjamin forcefully pushed her down onto the sofa.

Her chestnut tresses spread out messily on the light-colored sofa, creating a striking visual image. And her solitary dwelling heightened the intensity of the situation.

Benjamin was anything but gentle as he took what he wanted from Madelyn.

She writhed beneath him, the sensations overwhelming.

Do not know how long, but the sound of Madelyn's phone pierced through the silence.

Her hands were occupied and she was unable to answer. But as the phone continued to ring incessantly, Benjamin picked it up to see who was calling.

It was Daniel Campbell!

Without hesitation, Benjamin pressed the speaker button and continued the intimacy.

"Madelyn!"

"Madelyn..."

Benjamin's intense eyes locked onto Madelyn.

She bit her lip and her small nose flushed with desire...

And he had utterly dominated her.

As ambiguous noises emanated from the phone, Daniel could only listen on in stunned silence, his body frozen with shock.

Eventually, he dropped his phone!

Late at night, Madelyn was huddled beneath a blanket, her expression wooden.

Across from her sat a sleek and well-dressed Benjamin, cigarette in hand.

"I'll send you to England for further studies," he muttered. "I'll fly over to accompany you in half a month."

"I will invest in the music studio and hire the professionals to manage it for you," he added, sensing her hesitation.

Madelyn slowly lifted her eyes, revealing a pale complexion and reddened corners that betrayed the turmoil raging within her.

She had been driven to the brink of madness by him, and now she feared being tossed and turned like a puppet on a string.

Her body ached, but it was the gnawing exhaustion that chipped away at her soul.

A favor every half a month, a little slice of his attention, and she would be his mistress.

She asked him softly, "Benjamin Clark, am I just a kept mistress, subject to your every whim? When you're unhappy, you can just send me overseas."

Her questioning stirred no response.

A meeting with Daniel Campbell, like what happened tonight? No! He couldn't allow it!

He stubbed out his cigarette.

"It doesn't matter! What matters is that you have to leave Gredax."

Madelyn smiled.

She had already left Daniel for a long time, their accidental encounter in the evening meaning nothing.

She had rejected Daniel.

She had never given him any hope, both because she no longer loved him and because she wanted to make Eloise at ease.

But what about Benjamin Clark?

He was in a murky relationship with Eleanor Bennett. But he couldn't accept her past.

She lowered her head in front of him, allowing him to do anything he pleased at her home. But now he pulled up his pants, ready to send her away as his mistress!

To hell with Benjamin Clark!

Now she didn't want him, or anything else for that matter!

Madelyn pulled back the blanket without a care for her disheveled state and proceeded to dress slowly.

Once fully clothed, she looked up at him calmly and said, "I'm not going anywhere."

Benjamin gathered her response.

He sneered, "Did you forget that your father's case hasn't been settled yet?"

Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a document and tossed it at Madelyn.

As soon as her eyes fell on the receipt, Madelyn went pale.

The document bore her father's signature and held the power to destroy him.

Benjamin remained cold, "It took me a lot of effort to obtain this evidence, Madelyn. What do you think will happen if it is found by the authorities? Would your father still be able to enjoy a peaceful life?"

The rage building within Madelyn made her body tremble with fury.

She had never imagined that Benjamin would resort to such dirty tactics.

But then, a light laugh escaped her lips.

When she lifted her head, she gritted her teeth and spoke, "Benjamin Clark, I've been sleeping with you for so long, I don't believe that no feeling develops between us!"

She locked eyes with him. "But listen carefully, as soon as my father is thrown in jail, I'll go and sleep with Daniel. And when I do, what will happen to your innocent little sister?"

She added, "My father's life and your sister's life are equally important!"

Her heart ached as she spoke these words.

She pressed on, "So let's do a 'fair' exchange, Benjamin Clark, a life for a life!"
