Chapter 48 Please, Lend Me some Money
Chapter 48 Please, Lend Me some Money
Leo Howard looks at her indifferently. “What else? If you have nothing to say, get out of here!”
Claire Bennett is so upset that she never looks up. She takes a few steps to leave.
Just as her hand touches the doorknob and she is about to go out, she suddenly thinks of something. She turns to Leo Howard and whispers, “Leo Howard, I do have one more thing to discuss with you...”
“Say it!” Leo Howard cherishes words like gold.
“That’s... About my schooling...”
Claire Bennett’s words make Leo Howard angry. He says sarcastically, “No, I disagree. It’s good for you to stay at home. Why do you go to school to learn useless things? What’s more, there are so many men in school. If you go to school, you will betray me.”
“I am not the kind of person you said and I will never betray you!” Claire Bennett explains in a hurry. “Music is my dream from childhood to adulthood. I don’t want to give up!”
“I’ve known for a long time whether you’re that kind of person or not. In a word, I don’t agree with you!” Leo Howard sneers. His tone is very domineering. It’s non-negotiable.
Claire Bennett is helpless. Leo Howard is so domineering. She doesn’t want to give up music. What should she do?
She doesn’t want to take his advice!
Claire Bennett says, “Well, then lend me some money...”
The bank card her father left her for college has been frozen. Jade Patton did not give her money. Now she has to turn to Leo Howard!
“What do you want to do with money?” Leo Howard squints. He has guessed Claire Bennett’s purpose of asking for money. He wants to hear how she will lie!
“I want money...” Claire Bennett opens her mouth and can’t lie. Finally she gets angry. She blushes and growls, “Leo Howard, I want to go to school and learn music. I don’t have the money to pay the registration fee so I want to borrow money from you. You can rest assured that I will give it back to you in the future!”
“Tell me why I have to lend you money. You’re Bennett Family’s daughter. You don’t need to borrow money from me.”
Leo Howard raises his eyebrows but can’t help smiling. He is satisfied that Claire Bennett has not lied to deceive him.
“My stepmother froze the bank card my father left me. I have no way. Leo Howard, please lend me the money. I’ll give it back to you in the future!”
Claire Bennett looks up and says anxiously. However, Leo Howard seems to have no response. He remains silent.
“You call yourself Master Howard.” Claire Bennett looks at Leo Howard and says, “Your wife borrows money from you but you are indifferent.”
Leo Howard moves his lips and sneers, “Don’t push me! That’s no use!”
He walks up to Claire Bennett and lifts her jaw with his long fingers. He looks at her up and down with malicious intent. “Claire Bennett, do you know what a slut should do to live well?”
Leo Howard adds to his strength.
Claire Bennett’s jaw hurts. She frowns and retorts, “I said I am not!”
Leo Howard leans forward. He puts his lips on Claire Bennett’s side face and bites her earlobe with his teeth. “Because sluts satisfy men’s desires. If you want money, please me.”
Leo Howard opens his mouth and bites Claire Bennett’s smooth earlobe. He sucks it hard.
Claire Bennett seems to have been shocked. Her heart beats fast and her breathing quickens. “No...”
Just then, Leo Howard pushes Claire Bennett away. “It’s not that easy this time,” he says. “If you don’t call it out, I won’t agree with you!”
“You...” Claire Bennett is angry. Her cheeks are red as if they are bleeding. She stares at Leo Howard and says, “What do you think I am? Last time was the last time. Don’t dream that I’ll please you again. It’s absolutely impossible!”
“Impossible?” Leo Howard scorns the sneers. “I think you are just a slut born to please men!”
“You...”
Claire Bennett is very angry. She clenches her teeth violently. Leo Howard insults her like that. She can’t help falling apart. She begins to cry in front of him.
Leo Howard is happy to see Claire Bennett in a mess. But like all men, he frets at the sight of women crying. He shouts, “Enough. Is your family dead?”
Claire Bennett bites her lip. She dares not let her tears fall again.
Leo Howard is even more upset. He happens to see Claire Bennett’s bracelet on her wrist. So he brutally takes off her bracelet. He goes to the window and throws it into the garden pool.
“Leo Howard, what are you doing?” Claire Bennett is stunned and she begins to growl. The bracelet is left to her by her father and matches the old jade pendant.
Leo Howard looks back at Claire Bennett with a sneer. “You don’t have to cry anymore. If you can get this bracelet back in an hour, I’ll promise you!”
He finishes and leaves. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“Son of a bitch!” Claire Bennett roars. She looks at Leo Howard’s back and growls then she dares not delay any longer. She rushes downstairs and begins to look for the bracelet.
Claire Bennett saw the bracelet thrown into the garden pool so she begins to think by the pool.
Claire Bennett tries the depth of water with something. She finds that the water in the pool is deep. The water may be deeper than her height. She swallows at once.
Is she going down or not?
Claire Bennett looks behind and finds that even her servant has disappeared. Now she is alone and no one can help her. Most importantly, Claire Bennett can’t swim!
Claire Bennett imagines that if she gives up music and continues to live a bad life at Leo Howard’s house, she will be crazy.
With that in mind, Claire Bennett takes a deep breath and jumps into the water.
