Chapter 43: When the Ex Cries, the Current Loses
The cold words suddenly brought Clara Bennett back to the expression on Samuel Grant’s face when he spoke to her.
This change was so obvious that it was shocking.
Is this what they call bluffing?
It really can scare people.
This reaction involuntarily reminded her of William Foster’s handsome face, carrying a strong sense of intimidation when he wasn’t smiling.
The pressure was so great that on the first night she met him, Clara truly felt he was an extremely dangerous person, making people afraid to approach easily.
Sigh, if William Foster were to become an actor, he could definitely win the Best Actor award; his acting is indeed very realistic.
After sorting out her thoughts a bit and calming down her mood, she then spoke: "It’s me, Clara."
Upon hearing her voice, William Foster’s tone immediately became much gentler, "Darling, still not asleep this late? Are you missing me and can’t sleep?"
This conversation seemed to return to the previous intimate state, forming a stark contrast with the previous cold attitude.
Facing such a change, Clara did not explain much, just said simply and directly: "Don’t overthink it, I’m handling some things right now. The call is to ask you something. Did you arrange for someone to beat up Samuel Grant today?"
Mentioning Samuel Grant was actually one of the things she was most curious about, after all, it involved the complex relationship network between two people.
