Not only would he be pressured with money, but the world would also look down on him. She had never thought of harming anyone.
"Yes," Benjamin replied.
Although it was a little uncomfortable to be rejected by Shelly, he knew he could not give Shelly a sense of security when he was powerless.
"Then, can we be friends now?" Benjamin looked hopeful.
Seeing that he was compromising, Shelly could not refuse.
She could really not leave any leeway for Nox because she did not owe him anything, so she could do whatever she wanted to him. However, with Benjamin, she could not bring herself to resist his kindness.
When she was in school and Benjamin was pursuing her, she was also touched by Benjamin's kindness.
She hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Benjamin smiled brightly and said, "Alright, let's start as friends."
"There's no start. We're just friends," Shelly said frankly.
