"Showbiz is a messy world. Have your fun with starlets like her, but when it comes to marriage, you need to find a respectable, elegant girl from a good family, like Yolanda."
Bennett didn't reply, but his gaze turned cold and heavy as he looked at her.
April sensed the shift in his eyes. "What is it? Did I say something wrong?" she asked, lowering her voice.
Bennett's expression remained unchanged as he let out a low, chilling laugh.
"I just find it surprising to hear those words coming from you. You're a highly respected university professor. I never took you for someone who engages in professional discrimination and demeans other women."
He added, "And for the record, I don't play with people's feelings."
"Bennett, I..." April realized she had misspoken and tried to explain, but Bennett gave her no chance.
He reached out and pulled her car door open. "Professor Martinez, please get in," he said coolly.
Seeing his closed-off demeanor, April could only let out a heavy sigh and get into the car.
The vehicle sped away.
Bennett remained standing on the curb, silently watching it disappear into the night.
"What are you looking at?" Yvonne asked, walking up and taking his hand.
"April's driver... I've seen him with Vincent's secretary before," Bennett said.
"Professor Martinez? How could she be connected to the Walker family?" Yvonne exclaimed in shock.
"It seems April and Vincent have a rather close relationship," Bennett said, then suddenly asked, "Did she know about your undercover mission?"
"No, absolutely not," Yvonne answered without hesitation.
Undercover assignments were top secret, never to be disclosed to anyone, not even close family.
Besides the issuing department, the only person at the police academy who knew Yvonne had left for a mission was the administrative vice principal.
Someone at April's level would never have had access to that information.
