    Chapter 72: Turning the Tables


    The threedies instantly started with their sarcastic remarks, “Oh my, we didn’t bring you here for this.


    We came to y Mahjong at your house.”


    “Now you sit next to Miss Martinez like her bodyguards. Are you afraid we’ll take all your money?”


    Benjamin appeared extremely noble, as if nothing that happened to him would surprise or displease


    anyone. Instead, people couldn’t help but marvel at why Benjamin was so handsome.


    Even the threedies couldn’t help but be stunned. Why was it that, among humans, Benjamin looked


    so much better than others?


    And ever since Benjamin appeared, it seemed like there was an indescribable connection between him


    and Martina. It was like a change in their souls, astonishing everyone present.


    Benjamin casually tidied up Martina’s hair. Then his gaze slowly fell on the others, neither hurried nor


    slow. “Ladies, there’s no need to worry about me. Please continue, and don’t mind me.”


    Anyway, how could anyone ignore that intense sense of oppression since Benjamin appeared? It


    seemed that everyone present had been thoroughly frightened, right?


    But, considering Benjamin’s identity, they didn’t dare say much anymore. At most, they vented their


    frustrations internally while maintaining a smiling facade.


    Elizabeth felt somewhat helpless and constrained. Exposing the situation in front of so, many people,


    she could only lower her voice carefully and asked, “Son, why did youe back again? Weren’t you


    supposed to be busy with work at thepany? Returning so soon. might not be a good idea.


    Someone might get upset.”


    Even if some people were displeased, they wouldn’t dare do anything to Benjamin. So, it didn’t really


    matter to him.


    Benjamin nced at his mother indifferently, “I can work at home as well.”


    Then, he gently patted Martina’s shoulder.


    Martina remained silent from beginning to end. Now, after being patted, she mustered no more than a


    disdainful nce and said, “What are you doing? Don’t bother me while I’m ying.”


    Then Benjamin, sat there without saying a word, appearing obedient to the point of making people


    distrustful.


    Everyone knew very well what kind of person Benjamin was-a person who was not to be questioned,


    someone who evoked great fear.


    And yet, here was someone like that, actually obediently listening to what Martina said. It truly


    astonished everyone, causing their eyes to widen in disbelief.


    Even the threedies ying Mahjong momentarily forgot about the game and instead focused their


    attention on Benjamin and Martina.


    It was simply unbelievable. They had heard from the younger generation that Martinal was not well-


    liked in this household.


    Even Benjamin seemed indifferent towards her. But now, it seemed that things weren’t as they had


    been rumored. Indeed, rumors couldn’t be trusted at all!


    From the current situation, it seemed that Martina was not only deeply favored by Benjamin but had


    also easily won over her future mother-inw!


    It was the perfect case of an ordinary, naive girl making a sessful counterattack after marrying into a


    wealthy family. It waspletely different from what they had imagined.

    Unfortunately, these threedies were intelligent people, so they dared not say anything. directly. At


    most, they trembled in their hearts.


    The Mahjong game continued, and Martina deliberately made mistakes, intentionally giving away tiles


    to others. Soon enough, the others won again.


    How could Benjamin not see that Martina was doing it on purpose? After all, she had shown before that


    she knew how to y Mahjong.


    Now, she repeatedly gave tiles to others even though she had already discarded them herself. If this


    wasn’t deliberate, no one would believe it.


    The threedies were quickly amused by Martina’s foolish and cute appearance once again.


    “Oh, ying Mahjong with someone like Miss Martinez is the most interesting! If you have free time,


    you can alwayse and y with us. We wee you anytime!” one of thedies said.


    After all, ying with Martina’s suicidal style was truly unprecedented for them.


    If they yed more games with Martina, they might even be able to umte a small fortune


    themselves!


    Anyway, who wouldin about having too much money? The threedies present were no


    exception.


    Martina’s heart remained calm, and she nned to continue losing.


    After all, she couldn’t win anyway, so if she could find some amusement for herself, that would be


    great.


    Who would have expected that in the next second, Benjamin suddenly picked up another tile and


    yed it. “Nine crack.”


    Benjamin’s unexpected move surprised Martina, and she momentarily forgot her next reaction.


    Her gaze was fixed on Benjamin’s well-defined,rge hand, and for a while, she forgot about the next


    step.


    Benjamin’s hands were particrly attractive, just like him as a person, making it impossible to find any


    ws.


    The threedies couldn’t help but mutter softly when they saw Benjamin making a move. “Why is even


    Benjamin getting involved? Is he nning to bully us?”


    Benjamin smiled slightly, his face showing a veryposed expression. However, only those who


    knew Benjamin well could sense that he seemed somewhat unhappy.


    He responded nonchntly, “Ladies, there’s no need to worry. To be honest, I’m not very good at


    ying Mahjong either.”


    Perhaps out of consideration for Benjamin’s face, or perhaps because they simply didn’t dare to resist,


    the game continued.


    However, since the appearance of Benjamin, the situation had undergone a drastic change. Martina no


    longer lost as quickly as before, and even won every round.


    In the end, the money that the threedies had previously won was almost all lost.


    Elizabeth was somewhat dumbfounded. She didn’t expect her son to be not only excellent in his work


    but also skilled in ying Mahjong.


    It was truly unexpected. If only she had the same abilities as her son, she wouldn’t have to worry about


    being taken advantage of in the future.


    However, Benjamin didn’t have the leisure to y Mahjong with his mother. His actions were merely to


    prevent those threedies from ganging up on Martina. It was impossible that the sneaky moves of


    those threedies could escape his eyes.


    Because of Benjamin’s presence, the game quickly ended on an awkward note. Thedies rubbed their


    foreheads, one by one, as they quickly fabricated excuses for themselves. “Oh, I just realized my


    daughter wille backter, so I should leave now!”


    Anotherdy said, “I think I left the gas on at home. I need to hurry back and check…” “I… I suddenly


    feel a bit sick in my stomach. I need to find a doctor!”


    In reality, their intentions were already clear, and Elizabeth didn’t stop them. Instead, she exchanged a


    few polite words with the threedies. “We’ll continue another time if we have. the chance. Take care


    and have a good day.”
