Chapter 64 He Can't Stop Thinking about Madelyn
Madelyn wanted to please him.
So she wrapped her arms around his neck and tenderly called him, "Daddy."
At first, Benjamin was stunned.
But then he felt like he was walking on air.
His feeling of overjoy lasted after he got to the law firm, and even Paisley noticed that Mr. Clark was in
a good mood, and he looked more radiant than ever.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Paisley knocked on the door and entered his office.
With a smile, she said, "Mr. Clark, the Campbell Group's legal advisor would like to meet with you. I
have checked your schedule and at four o'clock this afternoon..."
"Just tell them I'm busy!" Benjamin said flatly, "The authorities have already pressed charges against
the Campbell Group for financial crimes. They are on their own now."
Paisley was a little surprised.
Although Mr. Campbell was his brother-in-law, Mr. Clark still chose to stand by.
With a professional smile, Paisley replied, "I got it, Mr. Clark."
She returned to her office and informed the Campbell Group's legal advisor that Mr. Clark had no time
for their meeting.
The news got to Daniel quickly.
Daniel had expected this.
Benjamin had been targeting him and would gladly kick him when he was down if he had a chance.
How could he help him out?
Though this crisis was not so devastating, it was enough to keep Daniel busy.
So he had no time to pester Madelyn.
Let alone deal with Samuel.
Benjamin truly lived up to his reputation as the best lawyer, for he was so good at manipulating others.
Daniel thought he had become a ruthless business over these years, but compared with Benjamin...
He was no match!
Daniel felt restless.
He stood by the window wall, smoking cigarettes.
He remembered that even during the Campbell Group's most dire moment, he hadn't smoked so much.
At that time, Madelyn always reminded him gently, "Smoking too much isn't good for you."
Then she would put a mint candy in his mouth.
It tasted refreshingly cool.
Back then, Daniel found her somewhat annoying because he thought Madelyn was not good enough
for him.
Although she was pretty, she was too conservative.
If it weren't for scapegoating Samuel, how could he have spent four years with her? But now that he
had lost her, he felt so empty.
Perhaps he just hadn't gotten used to life without her!
Daniel told himself that he just needed time!
There was knocking on the door.
His secretary came in and informed him that something went wrong with the mall acquired earlier this
year.
Daniel simply said, "Go there and see what's going on."
Half an hour later, Daniel's car arrived at the Ivy Mall.
He spent nearly half a day dealing with this, and by the time he finished, it was already four o'clock in
the afternoon. His secretary brought him a boxed meal and said, "Mr. Campbell, you haven't had lunch
yet! Please grab a bite."
Daniel didn't feel like eating anything.
He just said, "Let's head back to the company."
When he was about to leave the office center on the fourth floor, the exclusive elevator happened to
break down, so he had to take the customer elevator.
Having a sour face, Daniel felt annoyed.
As the elevator reached the first floor, he caught sight of someone.
He saw Madelyn.
She was shopping alone, with several bags in her hands. At that moment, she was selecting which
clothes to buy in a well-known men's clothing store. She looked so attentive and even gentle.
Daniel knew she was buying clothes for Benjamin.
It hurt him so much that he couldn't bear to see this anymore. He quickly left the mall and got into his
car.
Daniel closed his eyes and told the driver to head back to the Campbells' mansion. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
The secretary also saw Madelyn, but she didn't dare to mention her or ask him anything...
Gabriella was surprised to see Daniel home, and when she was about to ask him about the company,
Daniel loosened his tie as he went upstairs, saying, "Mom, I'm tired and need some rest."
Seeing his wary expression, Gabriella said nothing finally.
Daniel entered his room and shut the door behind him. He lay on the bed and put his arms on his eyes.
Suddenly he felt like crying, and he couldn't stop thinking about Madelyn...
