A deal with the devil

Chapter 137
The top priority was to handle the compensation process properly to prevent further disturbances that could disrupt future
training sessions.
Still puzzled, Shirley watched as the driver retumed to the car to report to Benjamin Curious, she followed him from a distance.
It turned out that the driver had purchased Turbo Impact’s land at the same price Richard had offered, but he promised that
Turbo Impact would not shut down
How long it would remain operational would depend on the team’s future performance.
Additionally, Benjamin had become Turbo Impact’s primary shareholder, taking full responsibility for the team’s funding
Inother words, although the team still belonged to Tomas, it had a powerful financial backer. This meant that Tomas could focus
entirely on training racers without worrying about the team’s financial constraints.

Most importantly, he no longer had to fear Richard’s underhanded tactics.
Benjamin also intended to hold Richard accountable and ensure that the damages and injuries the team suffered would not go
unpaid
Even though Tomas had sold the land to Benjamin at a low price, he was overjoyed. He had sold it with dignity and preserved
the dream he had shared with Tristan.
Once the driver finished his report, he went backinside.
As the car window slowly rolled up, Shirley stepped forward and tapped on the glass. “Benjamin.”
The window lowered again, revealing his handsome, dignified face. His deep, dark eyes locked onto her radiant expression.
A bright smile lit up shirley’s face. “Benjamin, congratulations on acquiring the land! Do you believe that my luck is good?”
The biggest winner was undoubtedly Benjamin
He had secured such a massive plot of land for just one hundred million dollars. At the auction, it could easily fetch several times
that amount. It was practically a windfall.

And this good fortune was something she had brought him. Shouldn’t he be grateful?

Benjamin responded with a faint “Hmm“, acknowledging her.
Hmm? She blinked. He actually didn’t argue with her for once!
Shirley’s smile grew more radiant. Her eyes sparkled like two crescents of moonlight. “So, how do you plan to thank me?
Benjamin studied her carefully. Her rosy lips, bright eyes, and charming smile exuded allure. Her face was as lovely as a peach
blossom, but there silliness in her grin that made her seem a bit naive.
Without thinking, he blurted out, “Idiot,”
was a trace of
Shirley’s smile froze. “Why did you have to insult me for no reason?”
Benjamin remained indifferent and beckoned her closer with his finger, “You heard what Tomas said. I gave you the opportunity,
but you did nothing. If I hadn’t come today, this massive plot of land would have fallen into someone else’s hands. So, tell me,
what good is your so–called luck?”
With that, he flicked her forehead with his finger,
“Ouch!” Shirley yelped, covering her forehead as she frowned in pain. She glared at him with her bright, indignant eyes but didn’t
dare retaliate
A low, amused chuckle escaped from Benjamin’s throat. “Fool.”
Shirley clenched her teeth. “At least it proves I bring prosperity to my husband!”
The moment the words left her mouth, she wished she could dig a hole and hide in it. How embarrassing!
