“This is outrageous. They actually dared to lay a hand on someone from the Bennett family? They must have a death wish.”
“But… since they could afford that many high–end children’s clothes, they must be wealthy. Balewood is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers–if we’re not careful, we might end up offending someone we really can’t afford to mess with. We’ll have to think this through carefully.”
Alice let out a cold snort. “Did you see how crude and uncultured that woman was? Even if she has money, she’s nothing more than a nouveau riche. We’re the Bennett family–one of Hoverdale’s elite. Are we supposed to be scared of some flashy upstart? Besides, we’re about to partner with the four great families. Once we have them backing us, even if that bitch has money, she’ll never compare to the four families. Honey, have you met anyone from them yet?”
David frowned. “As expected of capital elites–just getting a meeting is difficult, even for someone like me from Hoverdale. But while I haven’t met the core members of the four families, I did meet someone from the Jackson family. And from what they told me, tomorrow is the birthday banquet for the little princess of the Mavis family. We can use the opportunity to attend as guests and meet all sorts of powerful figures from the capital.”
At those words, a sharp glint flashed in Alice’s eyes.
“After tomorrow,
we’ll settle the score with that woman and her entire trash family. With the four great families backing us, I’ll ruin them. I’ll see to it they go bankrupt and end up as beggars.”
David nodded. “But right now, what’s most important is preparing a birthday gift for the little princess of the Mavis family. What do you think we should give her?”
“How old is the kid?”
“I think she’s about the same age as our Willow.”
Alice’s eyes turned as she thought. “Kids that age love pretty clothes and toys. The gift doesn’t need to be expensive–but it has to be thoughtful. Why not give her a stuffed animal?”
“A stuffed animal?” David paused, then a sly glint appeared in his eyes.
If the little princess liked it, there was a good chance she’d keep the toy in her bedroom.
If he installed a listening device inside the stuffed animal, he might be able to overhear the Mavis family’s secrets. And even if there were no secrets, he could at least learn about the little girl’s likes and dislikes- making it easier to win her favor.
Once he had her trust, forming a partnership with the Mavis family would be a walk in the park.
“Great. Let’s go with a stuffed animal.”
“Honey, go take care of your face–and the kids‘ injuries too. Tomorrow we’ll be attending the Mavis family’s little princess’s birthday.”
“Willow, remember–tomorrow, you have to find a way to make her like you. Only then can our Bennett family successfully secure a partnership with the Mavis family.”

could marry into the family. That would take the Bennett family’s business empire to new heights.

And even if she couldn’t marry the Mavis heir, she could still use that connection to get close to the young heir of the Brooker, Fawkes, or Kwain families.
David believed his precious daughter was loved by all–there was no way Willow couldn’t win the heart of one of those four young heirs.
