Besides, if you are really from the Clark family, why didn’t you go back to them? I remember that Matthew is also an illegitimate child.”
Benny’s eyes darkened, and his hands resting on his thighs clenched slightly. “It’s simply because I hate the entire Clark family. Carl, you also got into trouble because of Matthew, right? If you still have doubts about me, let me share some information with you first.
I want to prove my sincerity in wanting to work with you.”
“Fine. I’m all ears.”
“The Clark family is throwing a yacht party this weekend. I think it’s the perfect time to get rid of Matthew,” Benny offered.
Carl thought for a moment. Then, he chuckled heartily. “Well, Benny, I appreciate your candor. You’re a ruthless one.”
He picked up his glass, raised it, and hinted at Benny to do the same. They clinked glasses, sealing their temporary alliance.
Benny indulged in drinks at Carl’s place until the night was already deep when he stumbled back home.
The alcohol had numbed his senses, leaving him barely able to navigate his own doorstep.

Meanwhile, Flossie had been waiting anxiously in the living room, her fatigue eventually lulling her to sleep on the sofa.
She was abruptly jolted awake by a loud thud against the door, signaling Benny’s return.
Rushing to the entrance, Flossie found Benny propped up against the door, his eyes struggling to stay open.
Smelling the strong scent of alcohol, Flossie guided him to his room.
Benny was so intoxicated that his steps were staggered, and he struggled to maintain his balance.
He nearly tumbled onto Flossie, who then aided him to his bed, already feeling breathless from the effort.
She removed his coat, her voice a soft murmur filled with concern.
“You’re still recuperating, Benny. How could you drink so much?”

Benny murmured in response, “I was in high spirits after sealing a deal, so I had a few drinks.”
His expression darkened, a hint of pain crossing his features.
Sympathy welled up in Flossie as she sat by his bedside, gently massaging his forehead to ease his headache.
Gradually, Benny began to relax, the room falling into a tranquil silence.
Listening to his steady breathing, Flossie rose and tucked him into bed carefully.
Just as she prepared to leave, Benny’s grip tightened around her wrist, his voice barely a whisper. “Don’t go… Please, don’t leave me here…”
Flossie’s heart skipped a beat as she felt his grip tighten, rendering her motionless with uncertainty.
