Lindsay bent over and gave Benson the money. She even hid it under his shirt. "Don't take it out until you're back in your room, okay?"

"You're full of crap! Do you even need to tell me that?"

With a sneer, Lindsay said nothing more. Just as Benson was about to turn around, she took out a candy, unwrapped it and stuffed it in her mouth.

At that, Benson turned around as well. "I want one too! Give me one!"

Without refusing, Lindsay held out another red-wrapped candy. "I'm down to my last one. You can eat it here before you leave. If your mother finds out, she'll make another remark about you. I'm not going to take this reprimand even though you're the family's baby."

As the Crouch family felt Benson was overweight, he was banned from eating sweets. Candy, for example, was outright forbidden.

"I know that! I only want one of your candies, and yet you're nagging so much!"

After unwrapping the candy, Benson threw it into his mouth and chewed it. He then had a disgruntled look of disgust. "This candy is delicious! Why don't you buy some more? Next time, get me two more packs! You're such a scrooge!"

"I can't just get it right away! These candies are imported and they aren't even available for purchase with cash. I had to find someone to get it and wait a few months for it to be shipped here. It's costly! I couldn't even bring myself to eat it. All right, all right! I'll save the candy for you next time. Get out of here! Make sure your mother doesn't see you. Remember to drink water when you get back." With that admonition, Lindsay started to chase him away.

"I won't get caught by my mom. I'm not an idiot! How can I get caught eating candy? Hmph!"

As he crammed the money under his shirt, he grunted. Pulling open the door and looking around, he then squeezed out. Soon after, a light running was heard. Meanwhile, Lindsay, with an evil grin, squatted down and picked up the red candy wrapper discarded on the floor.

She then shut the door and returned to the table where she grabbed a lighter from the side and burned the candy wrapper.

There were sparks among the flames and her sight followed a lurch as a thought popped in her mind...
