Chapter 1 The Joke in Los Angeles
On the day when Martina Martinez dragged her luggage out of the Walker family vi like a hobo, half
of the yboys in LA were watching her joke.
Over the years, she had been deeply in love with Benjamin Walker, losing herself for him, and had
be aughing stock in the entire city.
As she carried the luggage down the stairs, she seemed somewhat delicate, taking each step carefully
and coldly staring at the colorful sports cars that had just entered the vi courtyard.
In front of the red sports car, Adam Paloma was leaning against the front of the car, with his hands
crossed in front of his chest, full of ridicule and yfulness in his eyes.
Since the day when Martina gave up her dignity and pursued Benjamin, Adam and many of the
dandies in the city had disliked her.
Now, when these yboys heard from the Walker family’s maid that Martina was packing up and
preparing to leave, they immediately put down their “work” and shed over to see how she would get out
of the Walker family in a pitiful state.
However, Martina wasn’t that pitiful, after all, her looks were still there.
Even though she was now unlucky in love, she was still a gorgeous woman in distress.
Martina was standing there in a light–colored long dress, waiting for the taxi she had called.
Her slender figure was well–proportioned, and her demeanor was excellent.
She stood there, facing Adam.
Adam nced at her luggage and immediately began to speak in a sarcastic tone, as if he already
knew Martina’s n. “Martinez, are you ying the trick again?”
His mocking tone didn’t escape Martina’s ears.
In everyone’s eyes, Martina was someone who had finally caught the heir of the Walker family, so how
could she give up easily?
Martina didn’t want to be like a spectacle after breaking up with Benjamin, she couldn’t help but take a
deep breath.
Yes!
She had previously used the threat of running away from home several times to – pressure Benjamin
into speaking up for her, giving her status and recognition, and giving her enough love.
After numerous attempts, no one believed that Martina was really determined to leave. Martina couldn’t
be bothered to say anything and just lowered her gaze to look at the delicate flowers she had nted in
the yard.
She wondered if Benjamin would take care of them after she left. He probably wouldn’t care at all. Over
the years, she had always been dispensable to him.
Thinking about it, it was really sad. Even though she had spent two months making up her mind to
leave, when the day of departure really came, she still felt a little reluctant to go. However, the
reluctance was not mixed with as much true affection and love as before. She had truly given up.
The ride–sharing app on her phone showed that the taxi was still about three miles away, so Martina
continued to wait while dragging her luggage. She remained silent, and for some reason, Adam felt that
something was off, but he still thought that Martina was a shameless woman who was easy to
manipte.
Many people believed that Martina loved Benjamin deeply and was willing to do anything to remain by
his side. For six years, she had exhibited patience and persistence.
Adam stared at her with a deadpan expression and spoke without reservation.
He looked at her in appearance, with only a small suitcase, and mocked her again, “At least you’re
still Benjamin’s fiancée. Why did you run away without a chauffeur or maid to apany you?”
Martina furrowed her eyebrows.
She suddenly wanted to know just how much she had tried to win over Benjamin, to make these
wealthy young men despise her so much. Even though she was ready to leave today, Adam still had no
intention of letting her off.
Adam noticed the expression on her face.
He pretended to be very curious and eximed, “Oh, Surely the Walker family wouldn’t deny you the
face of giving you a car, right?”
The yboys in front of him burst intoughter.
He did it on purpose to make things difficult for her. Benjamin had been abroad for the past six months,
and he only asionally returned. The family’s trivial matters were all handled by his mother, Elizabeth
Walker. Elizabeth had always disliked Martina. She didn’t show it so tantly when Benjamin’s grand
father, Jack Walker, was around.
Since Jack Walker moved to a nursing home in Ondo two months ago, Elizabeth has be
increasingly disgusted and contemptuous of Martina.
Martina was not provoked by Adam’s words. Her exquisitely beautiful face remained indifferent. She
also looked at Adam’s smug face and said coldly, “Amy Paloma has poor health. When you speak, be
mindful of your words and beware of misdirected retribution for your wrongful deeds.”
Amy Paloma was Adam’s sister and his most precious treasure.
This was a sensitive topic for Adam. Anyone who talked about this topic would be a dead man.
Previously, Martina had been trying to fit into their circle, building rtionships with them, but she had
never mentioned these taboos.
When others made fun of her, she would only swallow her pride, not saying a word, pretending not to
care.
Until now, she had never been as sharp and piercing as she was at this moment.
She was leaving the Walker family, so what did she have to fear? The extreme thoughts that had built
up over years of enduring were now being released!
“Even if you want to push Amy Paloma onto Benjamin’s bed-” Martina chuckled and said. “She still
needs to have her life before she can do that.”
Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
Amy had always had a weak body and needed rest.
Adam never thought that Martina would say such things! He looked stunned for a moment, then a
horrible and cold anger appeared on his face!
He strode towards Martina and grabbed her arm, pulling her closer to him.
These people considered themselves to be unapproachable and had never shown respect to anyone,
including Martina. Now, as Adam was about to hit her in his rage, no one dared to stop him, including
the nanny who was watching from behind.
Martina leaned to the side, but she couldn’t avoid the p.
“Martinez, don’t think too highly of yourself. If it weren’t for you shamelessly lingering in the Walker
family, would Benjamin intentionally stay abroad?” Adam snapped.
Indeed, it had been almost four months since Benjamin had returned.
If they were to talk about the real reason, it might be because of her that he deliberately stayed
overseas. Adam was a man after all, tall in stature, and his p was heavy enough to make Martina
feel the severe pain.
Martina was thinking that if Benjamin had even given her the slightest bit of face, she wouldn’t have
been pped today.p.”
Martina didn’t cry, but instead stared at Adam and said, word by word, “I remember this “You’re nothing
without the Walker family,” Adam raised an eyebrow and taunted. “So what difference can you make if
you remember it?”
Still provoking her, Adam said, “If you have the guts, then get out and nevere back!”
Martina’s sharp fingertips dug deep into the flesh of her palm, the pain stimting her mind to be
clearer.
At that moment, she came to the realization that she could not move anyone, just as she understood
that Benjamin did not love her either.
Benjamin didn’t love her, so leaving the Walker family meant she was nothing.
Despite being treated like a scabby dog by Adam and the others, and being hated by everyone in the
Walker family, she couldn’t bear to leave.
But now, Adam’s p identally woke her up, and even the only thing she couldn’t bear in her heart
hadpletely disappeared.
Fortunately, the taxi arrived just in time. Martina told the driver to drive straight through the gate.
She didn’t even look back at the ce she had lived for six years, leaving firmly and decisively.
