Chapter 185 Give Her High-level of Importance

Alexander frowned, "What do you know?"

Benjamin brushed off the ice residue from his body, his expression momentarily dazed.

After a long pause, he hoarsely spoke up, "Dad, since I broke up with Eleanor, I had no intention of loving anyone again, and I thought I would never fall in love with anyone else! When I first got together with Madelyn, I thought it was just... just a game of mutual consent. I knew Madelyn liked me, but I didn't plan on a long-term commitment!"

Alexander threw an ashtray at him in anger.

He was so furious that his eyebrows twitched, "You're playing with a girl's emotions!"

Benjamin didn't dodge... A trickle of crimson blood flowed down his noble features from his forehead.

Brianna, who was hiding outside the door, felt heartbroken.

"Alexander!"

Alexander showed no mercy, "Don't plead for this bastard! He has grown up, yet he knows how to play with women? Where did he learn this bad habit? ... Today, I won't let him get away with it!" Brianna dared not plead anymore.

Alexander lit a cigarette and blew out a smoke ring, "Why aren't you saying anything? You are capable of doing such things, so why are you too ashamed to admit it? Mr. Clark, you must be so proud of yoursel strutting around outside! Let me tell you, in the past, someone like you would be called a hoodlum. It wouldn't be a bad thing if you get shot. How can you think you are an honor for the Clark family?" Benjamin stared directly at his father.

He looked lost, "Dad, I never expected that I would fall in love with Madelyn! It was only after she left that I realized how desperately I wanted to salvage our relationship. I did things I wouldn't have done before, but she doesn't want me anymore! Dad... I don't know what to do to make her come back!"

Alexander hadn't had a chance to give advice yet...

Benjamin's expression suddenly became resolute, "But I won't stand by and watch her be with someone else."

"David is not an option for her!"

"No one is!"

After Benjamin finished speaking, he turned around and left!

Brianna wanted to stop him.

Alexander spoke in a deep voice, "Let him go. He's twenty-nine years old; he knows what he should do!"

Beautiful Brianna was filled with worry.

Could it be that Ben has taken the wrong path? His words just now sounded not good!

But Alexander was quite satisfied.

He took a drag of his cigarette and glanced at his wife, "A woman's mercy! This is what being a man is about! Fight for what you want, what you desire. Do you want him to hide and drink every day, waiting for Madelyn to get married before embarrassing me all over again?"

After Alexander's reprimand, Benjamin no longer attended social gatherings. He seemed to have transformed back into the fierce king in the legal sphere. Only this time his methods became even more ruthless, often leaving people chilled to the bone.

There were frequent complaints filed against the Clark family.

Brianna cried to her husband, "With Ben's reputation like this, I think he's really going to remain single!"

Alexander sneered, "What do you know! There are countless girls outside who want to sleep with Ben. They've been pursuing him from one end of Gredax to the other! It's just that our son has high standards and is fixated on one person!"

Brianna looked at her son in the newspaper once again.

Handsome, sexy...

That face was full of allure!

What's the use if he's still single!

A month passed, and it was time for Madelyn to receive the "Top Ten Outstanding Youth in Gredax" award.

Madelyn brought Camila to attend the ceremony.

Camila had been sad for a long time, but today she felt unusually happy.

Backstage, she tidied up Madelyn's collar several times, feeling that one side needed smoothing out, while the other needed perfecting.

Madelyn smiled faintly, "Mom, it's already in place!"

Camila also smiled, "I just feel like it's not perfect enough! Today is your big day, so cheer up!"

Madelyn nodded.

Just then, the emcee came over and whispered, "Ms. Green, it's time for you to go on stage."

Madelyn put her arm around Camila's shoulder, "Take more photos of me!"

Camila hurriedly adjusted her clothes again, "Don't mess up your clothes. Go on, go on. I promise to capture my daughter looking radiant."

Madelyn went up on stage with a smile.

But when she saw the presenter on stage, her smile slightly stiffened.

It was none other than Alexander presenting her with the award!

At this moment, there were thousands of people in the audience, with major media outlets and radio stations live broadcasting. And there was Alexander, staring at her with a pleasant smile, affectionately calling her, "Maddie, come over here!"

The media was in an uproar!

Many people knew about the Clark family, the wealthiest family in the north, who almost had a daughter-in-law before.

And that person was none other than Madelyn right in front of them!

In most high society dramas, conflicts escalate and relationships are shattered, making it truly unexpected to witness such an amicable ending!

Madelyn couldn't force a smile.

She wasn't stupid; she suspected that Alexander had used some connections to help her receive this award, and the underlying purpose didn't need to be said.

But with countless camera flashes aimed at her, she couldn't afford to lose composure!

Madelyn forced a smile and went up on stage to receive the award.

The fact proved that Alexander is just as "impudent" as his son. After presenting the award, he didn't let Madelyn go and even put his arm around her shoulder, as if he were an elder, asking the media to take more photos.

"It's not often that we get to present an award to a younger family member! I'm delighted!"

"I will engrave the photos and put them in my office!"

"Remember to take good photos of our Maddie. Girls love to look beautiful!"

The media was once again buzzing with excitement.

Key words detected... younger family member, put them in the office, our Maddie!

Madelyn could hardly force a smile.

Alexander was in control of the situation.

She faced a dilemma: leaving would create complications, while staying would imply an unclear association with the Clark family.

The old ginger is still hot!

After some filming, Alexander finally let go of Madelyn, but he publicly smiled and said, "To celebrate your achievement, I have specially prepared the best coffee for you. Try it later, and if you like it, take some home."

Madelyn understood that Alexander wanted to talk to her.

She had no way to refuse such a powerful businessman. If he made a slight move, her small Music Center could cease to exist.

The award ceremony ended.

The secretary of the Clark Group personally came to pick up Madelyn.

It was her second time in this office, a place symbolizing power.

It was here that she had agreed to Alexander's conditions and expressed her willingness to go to Edoford. As she stepped in again, a wave of emotions washed over her.

Compared to the first time, Alexander seemed even more kind and caring.

He brewed coffee for Madelyn and sat across from her. After the coffee was served, they got down to business.

Alexander went straight to the point, "I know you've been wronged! But I want to say a few words to you from the heart about marriage... every couple goes through ups and downs. Ben was at fault, but he has repented. He went through a period of extreme foolishness and decadence, which pained his mother and me greatly, but we were even more furious!"

Madelyn remained silent.

Alexander continued, "It's all Ben's fault!"

He picked up a thick file from the coffee table and pushed it gently toward Madelyn.

Madelyn looked up.

Alexander, whose face was handsome and shrewd, still smiled. "My secretary told me that your Music Center is doing very well. Madelyn... I have great hopes for you. These are all the Clark family's real estate properties, estimated to be worth billions. Ben's mother doesn't care about these things, so I want to entrust them to you for management."

The control over billions of wealth was indeed tempting.

These generous conditions also represented trust. It was difficult for someone like Alexander, a shrewd businessman, to hand over such important matters.

It is impossible for Madelyn to not be moved at all.

She stared at the file, knowing that as soon as she signed, her wealth would instantly multiply. She might even become the richest woman in Gredax.

But she refused.

She spoke with difficulty, "Mr. Clark, these things are indeed enticing! However, what I want is not a prestigious family. I only want a husband who belongs to me completely. The various experiences I went through with him have made it impossible for me to trust him again. Therefore... I'm sorry, and I can only say that I am not worthy."

After saying this, Madelyn stood up.

She bowed to Alexander, feeling grateful to this man who had always treated her kindly.

Madelyn left.

Alexander's secretary came in quietly and asked gently, "Should we try to keep Ms. Green?"

Alexander waved his hand.

Pointing to the file on the coffee table, he said to the secretary, "She is quite impressive. No wonder Ben couldn't let her go!"

The secretary nodded with a smile.

Alexander chuckled, "A girl like her deserves to be the daughter-in-law of our Clark family."
