Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn)
Chapter 290 Madelyn Is Not Easy to Be Messed With

Chapter 290 Madelyn Was Not Easy to Be Messed With

Madelyn kept reading that message for a long while but didn't reply.

She knew that Benjamin had some feelings for her, but it was too unreliable. Because Eleanor still held a place in his heart which had crossed Madelyn's boundaries. These are something that she couldn't overlook.

He had gotten her too easily.

Marriage and children were all his bargaining chips.

After tidying up a bit, she left her office, preparing to pick up Everest.

The bouquet of flowers that Benjamin had sent was left behind.

When she reached the first floor, there was a commotion in the lobby.

Several security guards were blocking two girls from entering, but they kept shouting at the door, insisting on meeting Madelyn.

Gloria whispered, "Should I send them away? The scene is too unsightly!"

Madelyn's gaze fixed on Charlotte.

Charlotte looked back at her, engaging in a covert fight across the crowd.

After a moment, Madelyn said in a low voice, "Bring her to the reception room!"

Five minutes later, Charlotte and her classmate Faith entered the reception room on the ground floor.

They looked at the incredibly spacious and luxurious room, feeling somewhat overwhelmed. Faith even tugged at Charlotte's sleeve and whispered, "Let's just forget it! I don't think Mrs. Clark is someone we can mess with!"

Charlotte pressed her lips...

Madelyn sat on the couch and Gloria brought her a cup of coffee.

She stared at Charlotte.

Charlotte's legs were still not agile and her hands were wrapped in bandages. How dared she come out like this to steal Madelyn's man!

Madelyn lowered her eyes and thought to herself, "Charlotte must be going crazy over money!"

Charlotte also looked at Madelyn in front of her and she found Madelyn beautiful, elegant, and in great shape!

"But what did that matter? I'm younger than her!" Charlotte thought inwardly.

Charlotte chose not to sit down with dignity and instead placed a stack of money on the coffee table.

"Mrs. Clark, I'm here to return the money!"

"Mr. Clark paid me fifty thousand dollars for my medical expenses and there is an excess of over ten thousand dollars. I think I should return it to you!"

Madelyn listened to her for a long time while sipping her coffee.

And then she gently placed her cup down and smiled faintly, "Miss Lorne, you've made a mistake!"

Charlotte looked puzzled.

Madelyn took the stack of money and counted it, saying, "Shouldn't you return fifty thousand dollars to me? I remember you just said that my husband paid you fifty thousand dollars!" Charlotte didn't expect Madelyn to be so stingy.

Her pride was shattered and her lips trembled. She said, "Mrs. Clark, it was Mr. Clark who paid for me and you have no right to ask me to return it!" Madelyn chuckled.

"Oh, really? But that's our marital property!"

"I have the right to reclaim it!"

"Furthermore, if you hadn't shown up, how would I have known about the fifty thousand dollars?... Now, I must ask you, did you have a relationship with my husband?"

...

Charlotte's lips trembled, but she couldn't bring herself to lie.

Madelyn threw the money down lightly and sneered, "Miss Lorne, if you had sex with my husband, I wouldn't even want this money back. I would consider it as payment for a one-night service by Benjamin! However, if nothing happened between you two, I'm afraid you must return the fifty thousand dollars within a month!"

Charlotte felt thoroughly humiliated.

Her classmate could see that Madelyn was genuinely angry and whispered to her, "I told you not to come! Just apologize to Mrs. Clark and she won't give you a hard time!"

Charlotte stood with her back straight, deciding to be completely candid.

"Mrs. Clark, I love Mr. Clark!"

"I believe Mr. Clark has feelings for me too, otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed with me in the hospital for several days! I understand you might be uncomfortable with that, but I want to tell you that even if you try to stop us, it won't work!"

"Mrs. Clark, I'm not asking for a formal status. I just want to be by Mr. Clark's side."

"You wouldn't be so small-minded, would you?"

Gloria listened with her heart pounding!

She thought inwardly, "How could she dare to say that?"

Madelyn lowered her eyes, her eyes filled with coldness.

Charlotte had indeed crossed her boundaries and it had nothing to do with Benjamin anymore. It was purely about her disgust towards Charlotte.

When she raised her eyes again, she smiled faintly, "Of course, I wouldn't! From now on, I won't hold any grudges against Miss Lorne, instead, I will treat you well!"

Charlotte was taken aback.

Madelyn raised her hand slightly.

Gloria asked gently, "Ms. Green, what can I do for you?"

Madelyn spoke lightly, "Pick up a few top-notch bodyguards to protect Miss Lorne day and night from today onwards, ensuring her safety until she can repay the fifty thousand dollars to me!" "And also, this student, Faith, she seems quite capable..."

Madelyn stood up, "Take the recording we just made and report it to their school's leaders! Ask them if a student who intentionally interferes in someone else's marriage is suitable to remain in the school?" Gloria nodded, "Yes, Ms. Green!"

Charlotte was shocked!

She never expected Madelyn to be so ruthless. Wasn't Madelyn afraid of angering Mr. Clark by treating her this way?

Madelyn left.

Charlotte followed her, dragging her injured leg, and said, "Mrs. Clark, you have no right to treat us like this! You can't possibly understand the feelings I have for Mr. Clark. You are such a heartless person. Do you really love him? No, you just love the Everest Group he gave you!"

Madelyn stopped..

She said in an ice-cold voice, "Charlotte, I've already shown a lot of restraint!"

And then she disappeared through the doorway.

Charlotte stood there in a daze. She had come today to provoke her, to disgust her, and to sow discord between her and her husband.

But she had underestimated the power of a fat-cat.

Madelyn didn't follow her script at all...

Charlotte clenched her fists tightly. She didn't believe that Madelyn could actually harm her in any way!

At that moment, Gloria stepped forward.

She pointed to two burly bodyguards standing nearby and said politely, "Miss Lorne, from today onwards, the two security guards will be with you at all times, whether you're eating, sleeping, or going to the restroom. They will always be by your side to ensure your safety... Please cooperate and don't abuse Ms. Green's goodwill!"

Charlotte was furious....

She waved her hand, trying to knock over a vase nearby.

"That vase is an antique worth thirty thousand dollars," Gloria kindly reminded her.

Charlotte's eyes turned red and she said with her remaining pride, "I don't need your protection! You just want to monitor me and deal with me!"

Gloria smiled faintly.

Gloria looked down upon the girl in front of her. Sure, Charlottes was good-looking indeed, but how dared she compare herself to Ms. Green? Yes, Everest Group was a gift from Mr. Clark to Ms. Green, but it wouldn't work if Ms. Green wasn't capable of managing it.

However, the business volume of Everest Group has increased since Ms. Green took over.

All the shareholders were satisfied.

Gloria took out a recording pen from her pocket and smiled, "If you have something to say, just tell it to your school's leaders!"

Charlotte's face turned livid with anger.

She walked out of Everest Group.

People around were pointing and whispering about Charlotte and Faith. And two bodyguards stood behind them, following closely.

Faith quickly burst into tears...

She regretted offending Madelyn.

Charlotte took out her phone and started dialing Benjamin's number repeatedly, but his number was busy, so she couldn't get through.

Faith realized that Mr. Clark had blocked Charlotte.

...

Benjamin was in Esrand.

He should have been in high spirits as usual when he was at a celebration banquet, holding a glass of wine and toasting with others. However, he wasn't in a great mood today, because Madelyn hadn't replied to his WhatsApp messages.

As he accepted congratulations from the people around him, he couldn't help but think of Madelyn, picturing her playing the piano with her eyes closed that night.

Although their values and beliefs didn't align, she still had such a strong attraction to him. Was it just because she was his wife?

Besides her beautiful appearance, he knew there was something else that deeply attracted him and made him want to possess her.

Half an hour later, he ended the celebration early.

He declined the host's offer to drive him home and drove back to the hotel himself. Perhaps because it was Valentine's Day today, the streets were lively with couples in love. Benjamin drove his white Bentley, feeling a sense of emptiness.

He parked the car by the side of the road and lit a cigarette by the window. He thought he must be going crazy for actually wanting to have a date...

Ahead of him, there was a woman holding a small girl in her arms.

They were both dressed in tattered clothes, looking disheveled.

The mother and daughter looked miserable, and in front of the mother was an empty bowl. She begged passersby for a little money to buy some bread for her child... Her child was obviously sick! Benjamin initially didn't pay much attention to them.

However, as he looked longer, he realized that he actually knew this mother and daughter.

He had previously won an economic case, resulting in the defendant's bankruptcy. Shockingly, the defendant had leaped from a building right inside the courtroom, leaving behind his devoted wife and daughter...

Many years had passed and they had ended up like this!

If it were in the past, he wouldn't have cared. But as he looked at the little girl, he thought of Everest.

His daughter Everest was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

The girl by the roadside had once been like Everest, the cherished daughter of a billionaire...

If he had shown a little mercy back then...

The little girl's fate might have been different. She might not be lying by the roadside, suffering from illness...

And maybe she wouldn't have lost her father!

When he came back to his senses, the cigarette between his slender fingers had burned to ashes and fallen.

Benjamin opened the car door and got out.

When Benjamin stood in front of the mother and daughter, they looked up and found the man elegant and dazzling under the nightfall...

The woman recognized the car behind him.

Her husband used to love this brand.

Benjamin touched the child's forehead with his palm. It was a bit hot and he said softly, "I'll take you to the hospital!"

Tears welled up in the little girl's eyes.

The woman was overwhelmed with gratitude and managed to kowtow to him...

Benjamin felt a deep sense of melancholy. She didn't recognize him as the lawyer who had caused her husband to lose the case all years ago.

Without saying anything, he bent down and picked up the child.

The woman followed him into the car anxiously. The interior of the car was too luxurious, emitting a faint scent of leather. She said nervously, "We could have just taken the bus!"

Benjamin remained silent, gently caressing the child's head.

Her hair was so soft, like Everest's.

That night, the luxury car sped through the bustling streets and soon arrived at the children's hospital.

The child had pneumonia.

Fortunately, it wasn't too severe, and she only needed to stay in the hospital for a week.

Benjamin arranged for them to have a private room and left for a while. When he returned, he was carrying a bag. The little girl called out to him happily, "Uncle!"

He walked over and touched her little head gently, saying, "Uncle has to go now."

The woman expressed her gratitude profusely.

She accompanied this completely unfamiliar and distinguished man to the door and returned to the hospital room after a long while...

Inside the bag that Benjamin had left were steaming hot meals, along with the child's favorite cake.

There were also seventy thousand dollars in cash and the keys to an 80-square-meter house. He had already arranged for the transfer of the house in the coming days!

The woman looked at all this.

She had seen the world, and she firmly believed that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

She thought carefully and finally remembered who the man was...

In the hospital room, the woman burst into tears, and the child held her mother's hand restlessly. After a long, long time, the woman calmed down and gently hugged the child. "Don't be afraid. Uncle is a good

person!"

Benjamin walked out of the hospital.

At night, he sat in the car, quietly smoking, and for some reason, a few words echoed in his ears-shallow blood ties!

He shuddered and closed his eyes. When he calmed down, he really wanted to see Madelyn...

That night, Benjamin returned to Gredax.

The Clarks' mansion was lively, but Madelyn wasn't at home. He inquired with the servants and learned that she had taken Everest out to celebrate.

She actually spent Valentine's Day with Everest...

Benjamin got into his car, gently stroked the steering wheel, and decided to go to that Edofordian restaurant after thinking for a while.

It was very late at night, but the Edofordian restaurant owned by Madelyn still had many customers.

Madelyn sat there playing the piano.

Under the crystal chandelier, her skin was porcelain-white and incredibly smooth...

Her figure was impeccable.

She wore a long skirt with unmatched charm and elegance.

Everest sat up straight, looking proudly at her mother. Benjamin took off his coat and sat across from Everest. The little girl shifted her gaze towards him, blinked lightly, and then leaped into his arms, happily calling out, "Daddy!"

Her small and soft body was endearing.

"Benjamin kissed her soft and tender cheek and said in a slightly hoarse and deep voice, "I've come to pick you up with Mom!"

Everest sat on Benjamin's lap and counted on her little fingers. "There are already four or five uncles wanting to date Mommy tonight!"

Benjamin looked up.

Madelyn was still playing the piano, her profile exuding incredible gentleness...

There was affection in his eyes.

He lowered his head and whispered to Everest, "Mommy and Daddy are already married. Mommy can't date anyone else."

Everest wrinkled her little face...

It took her a while to squeeze out a sentence, "I'm not married to Edward, so can he date someone else?"

Benjamin smiled softly. "In principle, yes!"

Everest thought to herself, "Then I should get married to Edward soon!"

Madelyn finished playing the piece and saw Benjamin, looking somewhat surprised.

She walked over, smiled faintly, and said, "Mr. Clark, congratulations!... Weren't you supposed to be back tomorrow?"

Benjamin stared at her face.

After a while, he said, "I just missed you and our kids, so I came back early."

Madelyn always saved face for him outside, so she smiled lightly. Even when he took out a gift from his pocket for her, she didn't refuse.

Upon opening it, she found a pair of pearl earrings.

Her eyes glistened with tears. After all this time, he had forgotten about the past, but his taste had truly remained unchanged...

Benjamin gazed at her expression and said softly, "I noticed you wear that pair of earrings often. Hayden said you lost one and searched for a long time, so I bought you another pair."

"Thank you!"

Benjamin held her hand and asked gently, "So, did I win your favor?"

Madelyn smiled faintly at him.

She put on that pair of pearl earrings...

Benjamin couldn't help but feel disappointed.

It was clear that Madelyn was just offhand with him. She was clearly unwilling to give him a chance and she only did so to play the role of a good Mrs. Clark in front of others...

In the car on the way back home, with Everest present, he couldn't bring himself to say anything intimate between a husband and wife...

He just looked at her through the rearview mirror when they stopped at a red light.

He had been moved to some extent in Esrand tonight. On such a night, he wanted to share his feelings and everything about himself with his wife...

The car came to a stop. Everest jumped out first.

Benjamin gently stroked the steering wheel and whispered, "Madelyn, today is Valentine's Day. Let's celebrate together..."
