Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn)
Chapter 255 Her Craze Revenge

Chapter 255 Her Craze Revenge

Madelyn had long known how cheeky Benjamin was. Blushing, she retorted, "You're such a jerk!"

Without missing a beat, Benjamin pulled her onto his lap and chuckled softly, "But it's true, isn't it? Who was it this morning in the bathroom, clinging onto me?"

She pushed him away, intending to go back to the sofa and organize her documents.

Suddenly, Benjamin's phone rang.

It was a call from Alexander.

The message was brief: "William has passed away!"

Alexander suggested Madelyn to be informed of it, since after all, William was Madelyn's biological father.Benjamin knew this too, and pulled Madelyn into his embrace after hanging up. Resting his chin on her forehead, Benjamin softly said, "William is gone."

Madelyn flinched visibly.

She didn't say anything, leaning gently against Benjamin's shoulder, enveloped in a calm silence.

Benjamin knew the pain that Madelyn was feeling.

He asked her in a low voice, "If you want to go, I'll accompany you."

After a long while, Madelyn shook her head. "There's no need."

It wasn't that Madelyn was heartless, but going back meant facing the Bennett family and, moreover, what position would she have?

The next day, William was laid to rest and Madelyn visited Madeline's grave.

She gazed at her mother's youthful and radiant face, delicately placing a bouquet of artichokes on the grave.

Softly, she whispered, "Mom, he is gone."

Benjamin stood beside her, wrapping his arm around her shoulder, offering silent solace.

Madelyn leaned against his side, her voice barely audible as she uttered, "Four years ago, on the day my dad was buried, William vomited blood here, and seemed destined for such a miserable end! Benjamin, he failed my mom and I think he had a hard time over the years, or he wouldn't have had that kind of disease."

Benjamin nodded, hoping that Madelyn could replace the strength to let go and regain happiness.

Around noon, they left.

Benjamin said, "Dad wants us to have lunch at home. Eloise has already taken Everest there."

A gentle warmth enveloped Madelyn's heart. "Everest really adores Eloise."

Thoughts of Eloise reminded Madelyn of Kenneth, evoking a sigh from her lips.

Benjamin grinned, "Let them handle their own affairs."

He shamelessly and meaningfully held her hand.

Madelyn averted her gaze, a blush staining her cheeks...

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Clarks' mansion.

Alexander sat leisurely, savoring his coffee as he spotted Benjamin and Madelyn returning.

After William's passing, Madame Bennett, shedding tears and causing a scene, even threatened self-harm. She insisted that Madelyn take the responsibility to farewell William. And Alexander stopped her.

Aware of Madelyn's fragile state, he offered her a gentle smile.

"Take care of yourself, Madelyn," he suggested.

Then he inquired, "So, when will the two of you get married?"

They exchanged a glance.

And Benjamin replied, "Dad, Madelyn and I have just reconciled. It's too early to discuss marriage."

Alexander sneered, "A few more years? Do you think you're still young?"

Benjamin sheepishly rubbed his neck.

It was Madelyn who gave him a satisfied answer. "We will wait until Everest grows a bit older."

Alexander nodded approvingly. "Well, that's great! Ben, you really need to learn from Madelyn."

Madelyn's spirits lifted a little.

During the drive back home, Benjamin tenderly clasped Madelyn's hand and asked, "So when will you marry me, sweetheart?"

Little Everest sat quietly in the backseat, pricking up her ear.

Glancing at her through the rearview mirror, Madelyn smiled warmly. "Perhaps next autumn."

As the traffic light turned red, Benjamin brought the car to a halt.

He played a joke, "Well, Ms. Green will grow older next year. If you keep dragging it on, I'm afraid no one will marry you."

Madelyn didn't take the bait and played a knowing smile.

At night, after tucking little Everest into bed, Benjamin held onto Madelyn.

As they lay in each other's arms, catching their breath, Benjamin whispered, "I have to go to Gartown tomorrow, probably for ten days! If it weren't for Everest needing to go to school, I would like to bring you along."

Madelyn was tempted, but she didn't want to appear clingy, so she kept her thoughts to herself.

Perhaps because they would be apart for quite some time and Benjamin had a strong desire, they did it and Benjamin didn't let go of her until she begged him with a hoarse voice. Exhausted, Madelyn fell asleep in his comforting embrace.

When she woke up early the next morning, a white rose sat by her pillow.

He had already left.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Madelyn got up to take care of Everest.

Everest, being the dutiful child she was, got herself ready for school, meticulously brushing her curly hair. Madelyn accompanied her on the way, where she met the boy Everest had been talking about - Edward. Edward was exceptionally handsome.

Madelyn playfully winked at Everest, causing her to blush before walking into kindergarten.

As Madelyn got into her car, she sent a WhatsApp message to Benjamin, saying, "I met Edward."

Busy with work, Benjamin didn't reply until around noon. "Is he more handsome than me?"The reply amused Madelyn.

Then Madelyn decided to head to the music center to settle accounts with Nicolas.

In the afternoon, she met up with Vivian for coffee.

Vivian arrived late, exclaiming, "There was a murder in the north district! The entire area is under heavy traffic control. My car was stuck there for half a day. It's truly tragic - the person was stabbed seven times!"

Madelyn inquired, "Have they caught the killer?"

Vivian responded, "Not yet! I think it might be a crime of passion!"

A crime of passion?

Stirring her coffee, Madelyn tried to push away the unease in her heart.

Vivian continued to talk, but Madelyn found it hard to concentrate.

That night, lying in bed, fear gripped Madelyn, and she couldn't resist calling Benjamin.

They spoke for half an hour until exhaustion finally overcame her, and she drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, she had to hide the signs of a restless night.

After dropping off Everest at school, Madelyn stepped into her car.

At that moment, her phone buzzed.

It was Vivian calling.

Madelyn picked up and answered with a smile, "We just saw each other yesterday. Wants to buy me coffee again?"

Vivian's voice held tension, "I just wanted to tell you...after the incident in the north district yesterday, there have been three more cases last night, and it's believed to be the work of the same person!"

A shiver ran down Madelyn's spine.

Four victims?

Vivian sighed on the other end, "And all four victims had Rh-negative blood type. Isn't that strange?"

Fear engulfed Madelyn.

Rh-negative blood type?

All the people in Gredax with Rh-negative blood type had been killed, and the last target...was Everest!

Just then, chaos erupted at the entrance of the kindergarten.

Among the crowd stood a frail figure, dressed in a crimson gown - it was Eleanor!

She gripped a gleaming knife, its tip tracing a wicked path across Everest's tender leg, drawing forth a crimson stream. Time seemed to stand still as Madelyn's heart threatened to cease its beating.

Eleanor's lips curled into a sinister smile.

She taunted, "Rh-negative blood type, clotting disorders...just one wound is enough to kill your precious daughter!"

And in her distorted mind, Eleanor believed that her mental illness would shield her from any legal repercussions. "Madelyn, what I can't possess, you'll never have either!" she exclaimed.

Although the kindergarten teachers swiftly administered a clotting agent to Everest, but the wound proved too deep. The bleeding persisted, unabated.

They needed someone with Rh-negative blood type!

But Eleanor had taken the lives of all the potential donors in the city.

Madelyn was desperate and frightened.

In a moment of fleeting clarity amidst the chaos, Madelyn knew what she needed to do.

Rh-negative blood type - Eleanor was the sole person who could swiftly provide the blood!

Madelyn had to intercept Eleanor, had to extract her blood to save her child.

Without hesitation, Madelyn dashed towards the driver's seat of the car.

Years ago, an injury had rendered her unable to drive. The doctor had warned her against driving cars, but now, for the sake of Everest, Madelyn was willing to take a risk.

She locked her gaze on Eleanor and pressed her foot to the accelerator.

The black minivan surged forward, hurtling towards Eleanor.

With a thunderous crash, Eleanor tumbled to the ground....
