Chapter 3. The Plan Has Been Eliminated

After finishing the bread, Benjamin's empty stomach felt somewhat complete. But now, he didn't know where to go. Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice calling out.

"Hey, we meet again!"

Recognizing the familiar voice, Benjamin couldn't help but turn his head. As he did, he saw Isabella and Edwyn eating in a nearby restaurant. For a moment, Benjamin's face was filled with astonishment. However, that was quickly replaced by disdain.

It was apparent that Isabella was well aware of Edwyn's ill intentions towards her, yet she not only refrained from avoiding him but also chose to dine alone with him. Benjamin couldn't help but feel disdain and contempt for her.

"Isabella, what do you think of my proposal?" Edwyn asked.

"Director Edwyn, I'd like to finalize this contract before we go to the hotel. If you agree, I'll reconsider your offer afterward."

Not far from Benjamin, Edwyn paid him no attention and began conversing with Isabella. Although their voices weren't loud, Benjamin could still hear them.

Benjamin's expression soured, especially when he noticed Edwyn's dishonest movements. While speaking, Edwyn's feet never ceased to rub against Isabella's smooth legs.

Although she tried to avoid it, Isabella's response was ambiguous, far from rejecting Edwyn's intimate contact.

Feeling repulsed, Benjamin had no intention of watching the two any longer and decisively turned to leave. However, at that moment, Isabella's voice suddenly rang out.

"Benjamin, since you're here, why don't you sit down and drink with me?"

Hearing Isabella's invitation, Benjamin hesitated for a moment. However, he didn't respond to her request, instead shaking his head and saying, "I'm sorry, I don't have a habit of drinking in the morning!"

Having spoken, Benjamin turned to leave once more. But at that moment, Isabella whispered: "Two thousand dollars!"

These words took Benjamin by surprise. Others might need help understanding Isabella's meaning, but Benjamin was well aware. She implied that he would receive two thousand dollars if he agreed to stay with her.

Before Benjamin could respond, a notification chimed on his phone. After checking it, he found that his account had just received the two thousand dollars. At this point, Benjamin stopped and looked back at Isabella.

Though he wasn't sure why Isabella wanted him to stay, having accepted the money, Benjamin couldn't refuse.

"I can't drink, but I can sit here!" he declared, pulling up a chair beside Isabella without hesitation.

At this point, a faint smile appeared on Isabella's face. She then turned her gaze back to Edwyn and asked: "Director Edwyn, how do you feel about the cooperation between our companies?"

Hearing Isabella's question, Edwyn had no intention of answering. All he could think of was how to get Isabella to the hotel.

So, he glanced at Benjamin and shook his head, saying: "I'm sorry, but with outsiders present, I can't discuss business with you."

Seeing Edwyn dodge her question, Isabella felt slightly irritated but smiled brightly. She looked at him and reassured him: "Don't worry, he's my cousin. Our business won't be affected in the slightest."

The only thing was that Edwyn's attitude at this moment was highly persistent. He suddenly stood up, glaring at Isabella with a look full of impatience, and said: "If you still intend to cooperate with our company this time, come to my hotel immediately. If not, consider our collaboration over!"

Edwyn didn't hesitate but strode out of the restaurant and drove away.

At this point, Isabella could no longer remain calm. She hastily stood up, intending to follow Edwyn to the hotel. Seeing this scene, Benjamin's eyes widened in disbelief.

He never thought that Isabella would be such a woman, willing to trade herself for a contract. Feeling disgusted, Benjamin ignored her previous attitude and left the restaurant.

However, as he started walking away, his phone sent another message. This time, his bank account had received an additional two thousand USD.

Immediately after, a text message from Isabella's phone number suddenly arrived.

"Follow behind me, but don't let Edwyn see you."

Seeing this message, Benjamin became even more suspicious. Why would she want him to follow behind if she wanted to rent a room with Edwyn? 

Although she was his wife, he couldn't bear to see her sleep with someone else. But what did this have to do with him?

After some thought, Benjamin decided to follow Isabella anyway. After all, she had transferred money to him twice, and he couldn't let her sleep with someone else so quickly.

Edwyn's car sped fast, and in just a few minutes, it stopped in front of a large hotel. Following behind him was, of course, Isabella.

As they both entered the hotel and went to room 404 on the fourth floor, Benjamin's phone rang again with a message.

"Once I'm inside, I'll find a way to get Edwyn to sign the contract first. If you hear the sound of breaking glass, you must rush in to save me."

Seeing this message and watching Edwyn and Isabella enter the hotel room, Benjamin wasn't sure how to feel. But he was confident that Isabella's plan wouldn't work.

Sure enough, his suspicions were confirmed. As soon as they entered the hotel room, Edwyn quickly stripped off his clothes before Isabella could react. Then, like a hungry wolf, he lunged toward Isabella.

Everything happened too suddenly, and Isabella had no way to escape. Apart from her faint screams, she could only struggle and beg for help.

"Director... director... please... slow down..."

However, Edwyn was on the verge of madness. Yesterday's plan had failed, causing Isabella to escape. No matter how hoarse she screamed this time, he wouldn't let her go.

With swift movements, pieces of clothing were torn off, and Edwyn's actions became more ferocious. For a moment, Isabella felt utterly terrified.

Standing outside, Benjamin could hear everything. He could imagine how difficult it must be for Isabella. Even so, he felt a slight sense of satisfaction. For so long, Isabella had oppressed Benjamin, constantly being scolded as a useless person with no future.

The current situation was already good, as Isabella failed to execute her plan successfully and even faced the risk of being oppressed by others. However, the joy on Benjamin's face only appeared for a brief moment. As soon as he heard faint moans coming from Isabella's hotel room, his expression instantly changed.

"Hey, you there! What do you want? Move away quickly!"

Benjamin's steps quickly moved toward room 404. At this moment, two tall and burly men appeared from the side of the room, blocking the doorway.

Upon seeing them, Benjamin immediately guessed that these two were probably Edwyn's bodyguards. After all, they didn't look like gentle people.

"Get lost!"

A cold shout came between Benjamin's teeth, and his steps never stopped, still heading straight for the room. The two bodyguards in black vests instantly glanced at each other and smirked at Benjamin.

"Good! Very good! It's been a long time since we've seen someone this daring..."

However, a mighty fist came straight at them before their sneering laughter could last long.

Bam!

The tall bodyguard was sent flying by a punch from Benjamin. Still unaware of what was happening, the other one received another fist, striking his jaw directly and sending him flying two or three meters high. Then, the bodyguard's body fell to the ground, either unconscious or truly frightened, showing no signs of movement.

However, Benjamin didn't pay them any attention. He directly kicked down the thick gap five-inch door of the room.

Bam!

As the door was flung open, Edwyn's desperate screams echoed outside.

"Who's there?"

Just a moment ago, while getting intimate with Isabella and almost succeeding, the sound of fighting outside suddenly rang out, followed by the door being kicked down. This caused Edwyn to panic a little, and his "weapon" shrank, looking rather pitiful.

But when he saw Benjamin burst into the room, Edwyn's eyes flared with anger.

"What do you want? Why are you meddling in my business?"

His plans had been ruined twice, and Edwyn was furious. But what awaited him now was not Benjamin's answer but a series of punches aimed at his face.

"You... scoundrel... you dare hit me... you dare hit me..."

With Benjamin's fists continuously striking his face, Edwyn's voice became unclear. However, he showed no fear. Instead, his face became even more ferocious.

"Damn it, if it weren't for the law, I would have castrated you!"

Spitting out a vulgar curse, Benjamin's fists showed no intention of stopping.

"Please... don't hit him anymore... it could... it could kill him..."

At this moment, Isabella's worried voice suddenly rang out, causing Benjamin to stop. Indeed, Edwyn's appearance at this time was quite intimidating. Even Benjamin felt a bit of pity and patted Edwyn's swollen face, which now resembled a pig's head, a few times.

At this point, Benjamin felt content and nodded as he stood up.

"Alright, I'll spare him this time!"

However, as he got up, whether intentionally or not, Benjamin's gaze glanced towards the mid at Edwyn's groin, he smirked for a moment.

"But, some adjustments should be made here for the better."
