    Chapter 64: Did It Hurt Her Heart?


    Unfortunately, it wasn’t the time to discuss these matters. No matter how well they understood the


    situation, they still had to deal with the current issues.


    As of now, Martina had already returned, and the most important thing for them to do was to find a way


    to quickly get rid of that woman.


    Otherwise, even ordinary people could see how crucial Martina had be to Benjamin.


    If they allowed Martina to stay, once she whispered something in Benjamin’s ear, the consequences


    would be severe.


    Elizabeth would never allow such a thing to happen, nor would she allow anyone to sow discord


    between her and her son.


    If that were to ur, she would do everything possible to make Martina disappear, not just temporarily


    but permanently.


    Elizabeth stood up and casually put on a coat, absentmindedly waving her hand to signal the butler.


    As she watched the car slowly entering the courtyard from the window, she had already made up her


    mind.


    “Alright, now that that woman has returned, we still need to be polite,” she said. “Let’s take it one step


    at a time. Even if my son spoils her, he can’t stay at home all the time. There wille a time to deal


    with her.”


    Just like before, as long as her son was not around, Elizabeth could manipte Martina into doing


    anything. If Martina resisted, she could take this opportunity topletely get rid


    of her.


    But it wasn’t the right time yet. Despite Elizabeth’s impatience, she had to suppress


    these thoughts for now.


    As soon as Benjamin arrived at the entrance of the vi with Martina, he saw his


    mother waiting there.

    Elizabeth’s expression was filled with concern, and upon closer inspection, it seemed like tears were


    welling up in her eyes, as if she could burst into tears at any moment.


    “Son, you finally came back. What have you been busy with this past month? I called you so many


    times, but you didn’t answer,” she said. “I hope nothing has happened. Don’t scare your mother. If


    something happens to you, what would I do?”


    While Elizabeth’s words sounded caring, in reality, she didn’t have such thoughts at all. She


    deliberately pretended to bepletely unaware, even though she had known early on that Martina


    had been brought back.


    What surprised Elizabeth was that not only was Martina brought back, but she was also. carefully


    carried back by her own son.


    Just how much importance did Benjamin attach to Martina to make such a gesture? Even Elizabeth


    had never been carried by her son.


    What Elizabeth didn’t know was that Benjamin had indeed seen the calls she made, but he pretended


    not to notice.


    Because he now understood that there was a certain connection between his mother


    and Martina regarding the reason why Martina had resolutely left.


    Actually, it could be considered a form of disced anger. Because Benjamin couldn’t find Martina all


    this time, he ended up directing his anger towards his own mother, Elizabeth.


    Of course, he couldn’t express these thoughts explicitly, so Elizabeth had no idea what else was hidden


    in his heart.


    Benjamin nced at her with a faint expression, then frowned discontentedly. “Lower your voice, she’s


    still sleeping.”


    Elizabeth froze in ce. It seemed like Martina was receiving even better treatment than before.


    Martina had already run away in front of his face, so why was his own son not only not. ‘realizing the


    situation, but also being even nicer to Martina?


    Who knew what shameful things she had been doing behind the scenes? Could Benjamin really remain


    indifferent and act as if nothing had happened?


    Elizabeth, of course, couldn’t understand. She had never regarded Martina as part of the family and


    didn’t care about her well-being.


    She even wished for something bad to happen to Martina, so when she saw her son in this situation,


    she truly couldn’tprehend it no matter how hard she tried.


    Unfortunately, she didn’t dare express these thoughts directly. At most, she felt extremely dissatisfied in


    her own heart.


    “Well, well, isn’t this Martina? Son, how did you bring her back?” Elizabeth deliberately asked. “I


    remember very well that she previously spoke so confidently, saying she would nevere back and


    evenpared our home to a prison. She spewed out those offensive and disgusting words one after


    another,pletely disregarding our family!”


    Elizabeth rubbed her head, pretending to bepletely unaware, but in reality, she understood


    everything while pretending to be clueless.


    She continued, “I don’t understand her mindset. She had afortable life, but she deliberately chose


    to ruin everything and now she’s returned.”


    “Remember, son, news of her departure has already circted throughout the entire city. Now that


    you’ve brought her back, how do you expect others to interpret it?”


    Elizabeth was on the verge of losing control of her emotions due to her inner jealousy


    and dissatisfaction. Even her words revealed an unusual level of directness.


    Benjamin didn’t turn a deaf ear to her words. If the woman in front of him wasn’t his own mother, he


    would have taken immediate action.


    But she was his mother, who gave birth to him and raised him. There were certain


    things that couldn’t be handled too harshly.


    “What others think of me is none of my business. There are some things that I might


    need to rify in advance,” Benjamin said, recalling Martina’s previous grievances and theints


    expressed by her best friend in front of him.


    If it weren’t true, Martina and Elena would never deliberately speak nonsense in front of


    him.


    Because of this, Benjamin couldn’t pretend that nothing had happened. Even if the person in front of


    him was his mother, there were still things that needed to be rified.


    Elizabeth was once again stunned in ce, seemingly unaware of what Benjamin was


    about to do.


    “Son, what do you want to say? If you have something to say, just say it. You don’t. need to beat


    around the bush with your mother. We are the closest people in this world.”


    she said with a forced smile on her face.


    Just when Elizabeth thought that Benjamin was going to say somethingforting, the


    result turned out to be the opposite.


    “From now on, stay away from her unless necessary,” Benjamin said grimly. “Her temper has been bad


    lately, and I don’t want anyone to upset her. Otherwise, I won’t easily forgive anyone, no matter who


    they are.”


    Elizabeth couldn’t help but feel terrified and couldn’t imagine that these words wereing from her


    own son.


    She had never received such treatment herself. What right did Martina have, after all? Was it just


    because of her pretty face or her shamelessness?


    Even the butler seemed unable to bear it any longer, and he said, “Mr. Benjamin Walker, she has been


    worried about you during this time. How could you say such hurtful words to her right after returning?”
