Chapter 130 Still Have Feelings

Chapter 130 Still Have Feelings

Albert pondered for a moment before texting Benedict.

"Hey, Mr. Capulet, what if Bella and David really are old flames? If something goes down tonight, what should I do?"

Benedict's response was almost immediate.

"They were supposed to get married, but I broke them up. If something happens, there's not much I can do. It might just speed up my divorce with Bella. Albert, if that's the case, giving up on love and focusing on your career isn't a bad idea. I can promise you wealth and success if you work hard enough."

Albert was floored.

He couldn't figure Benedict out anymore.

Was this really the same Benedict?

"Mr. Capulet, do you have any feelings for Bella at all?"

"It's complicated. I feel incredibly guilty and try to make it up to her. If she finds a better future, I can only wish her well. But if anyone tries to hurt her, I won't let it slide, including you."

Albert was stunned again.

So, there were still feelings between them!

He thought about how impressive Benedict was now, and he couldn't measure up.

Bella's ex-boyfriend also seemed extraordinary, and he couldn't compare to him either.

Albert felt a bit down.

But he still had to do what needed to be done.

He even believed that following Benedict would lead to a promising future.

Everyone wants love.

When you can't get love, isn't wealth and success also a kind of attraction?

Benedict felt no pressure at all.

The car stopped in the parking lot in front of the preschool, and as he got out, envious glances followed.

"Nice car!"

"Isn't that the guy who rode the beat-up motorcycle last time? What's his name again?"

"Oh, Benedict."

"Isn't he the golf champ who gave his wife two million bucks in prize money?"

"Yeah, that's him!"

People were talking, but Benedict paid no mind.

He stood calmly by the car, waiting for his daughter to finish school.

Before long, Heidi arrived in Kenneth's new BMW to pick up Aaron.

As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Benedict and his car.

Heidi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Was she not tempted? Impossible!

Thinking about how much money he had, she really liked it!

Dressed in a stylish business outfit, carrying a small bag, she walked over gracefully.

Many men watched, swallowing hard.

"Benedict, got some money now, huh? Upgraded to such a nice car?"

Benedict smiled faintly and said in a low voice, "Just winning back what I lost before."

Heidi's expression showed disdain, but she was also a bit tempted, trying to persuade him, "For the sake of our old school days, can't you stop gambling? You've made so much from stocks and golf, why gamble?"

"Life itself is a gamble. Are you really planning to keep working for Kenneth?"

"What else can I do? This job is already pretty good."

Benedict stroked his chin, thinking, "If you trust me, you can quit. I can recommend a good job for you."

"You?" Heidi was skeptical.

"Yes, me."

"Better not! You're still gambling; I shouldn't get too close to you."

Benedict thought for a moment, then pulled out a business card from his bag, "Take this. Call this number tomorrow, Ms. Palmer will arrange a suitable position for you."

Heidi hesitated but took the card and glanced at it, "Golden Bridge Realty, never heard of it!"

"New company, with great potential for future development. You're into data analysis, and they have a position that suits you. Give it a try!"

"Oh, I'll think about it. Thanks!"

Benedict shook his head, "No need to be so formal. I see you as a talent, a graduate from a top university. And I still feel a bit guilty for turning you down back then, so consider this my way of making it up to you."

"You..." Heidi blushed, a bit resentful, "You really hurt my feelings back then."

Benedict smiled and pointed, "Look, the kids are coming out."

Heidi's expression betrayed her inner thoughts.

Benedict could tell that Heidi seemed to be making a move on him again.

Because Benedict had money now, she wanted to get close to him again.

After dinner, Benedict sent an email to Daisy.

He explained his relationship with Heidi and made some arrangements.

Daisy replied, agreeing to follow through but insisted on evaluating Heidi first.

Benedict appreciated Daisy's work style.

However, Daisy also mentioned: The company's first project involved the relocation of the Economic Electronics Factory and the purchase of a large piece of land, which had some issues.

Issue one: They couldn't reach Freddy, and his wife was asking for sixty million dollars.

Issue two: The state-owned land was a wasteland but was held by the Torres family, specifically Ralph's sister, Claire Torres.

Issue three: Greenland Realty was also eyeing that piece of land and was taking action.

Benedict's reply was: No rush, prepare your budget and the design plans for the project, including the "Newport Plaza" project I proposed. How are the negotiations with Sunshine High School for the branch campus?

Daisy's reply: Sunshine High School is indeed interested in collaborating to establish a branch campus, but they have issues with the fifty-fifty share. They want sixty percent and require a capital verification. They can invest three hundred million dollars, but for us, it's challenging, Mr. Capulet.

Benedict replied: Show your skills and negotiate for a fifty-fifty share. If they invest three hundred million dollars, we will also invest three hundred million dollars.

Daisy was excited.

Benedict clearly had confidence.

After finishing the communication, Jessica was already asleep.

Benedict washed up and prepared to rest.

He guessed that in Imperial, nothing had happened between Bella and David.

Otherwise, Albert would have sent a message by now.

But after washing up, an email came in.

He opened it and saw it was the surveillance and monitoring files handled by Albert.

So, Benedict carefully reviewed it.

Sure enough, it was David.

Once a poor student with excellent grades, he was a perfect match for Bella.

Back then, Benedict had his eyes on Bella and broke them up.

At that time, Bella's father was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, so the Capulet family helped, spending five hundred thousand dollars.

But later, Bella's father was angered to death by Benedict.

Now, David was no longer a poor boy.

Dressed in luxurious clothes, with a fit and masculine physique.

Plus, he was handsome, indeed extraordinary.

At 6:30 PM, he met Bella at Ivy Cafe in Imperial.

It was a very upscale place.

From opening to closing, there was live music.

Bella was still a bit excited, her pretty face flushed.

Sitting across from David, she didn't know what to say.

David, impeccably dressed, smiled, "Bella, I can't believe it, five years have passed, and you're still as beautiful as ever."

Bella gave a bitter smile, holding her glass, "Yes, five years. How have you been?"

"I'm doing well." David nodded, a hint of pride in his expression, "But I never expected you to be bullied by that scumbag Benedict. I will make him pay."
