Chapter 82


    Chapter 82: She Had Always Wanted to Break Free


    His fingertips curled slightly, but in the end, he simply held Martina’s hand again, as if it were glued and


    couldn’t be pulled apart.


    Amy still seemed clueless about the situation, attempting to seek some kind of presence. “Benjamin…


    Elizabeth asked me toe back these two days and apany you… cough, apany her…”


    At a time like this, Amy actually said such words, truly fearless. She just wanted to intentionally make


    Martina feel ufortable, preferably embarrassed enough to leave directly.


    Every time Martina would use the method of running away from home, forcing. Benjamin to personally


    bring her back time and time again Amy.


    Benjamin even had to be tolerant towards her in various ways, which had long annoyed


    Initially, Benjamin might not have paid much attention to Amy’s presence; he was more concerned


    about whether Martina was upset. But who knew that Amy wouldn’t stop.


    Benjamin narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, “If you don’t stay at home and recover properly,


    why did youe to my house?”


    In a split second, Amy was cast aside,pletely disregarded and her feelings were not taken into


    consideration at all.

    Even if Amy refused to admit it, she couldn’t help but acknowledge it.


    With teary eyes, she nced at Benjamin, and tears once again streamed down her face. “Benjamin…


    I just want to be closer to you. Can’t that be allowed?”


    Under normal circumstances, Benjamin would likely have ignored Amypletely. without even


    uttering a single word.


    But things were different now. Benjamin didn’t want to upset Martina, who had a strong desire to move


    on and leave the past behind. Naturally, Benjamin made every effort tofort her, viewing it as the


    ups and downs of life.


    “Do you really consider yourself part of my family?’ Benjamin asked coldly. “From now on, keep your


    distance from Martina. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee how I’ll react, regardless of my rtionship with


    your brother.”


    This should be the most words Benjamin had ever said to Amy. However, it alsopletely erased any


    rtionship between the two of them.


    No matter what Army wanted to say, it was as if her words had lost their meaning in an instant. The


    weight of her thoughts and desires seemed inconsequential in the face of Benjamin’s resolute


    deration. It was a definitive moment that shattered any remaining


    Chapter 82: She Had Always Wanted to Break Free


    relevance she held in their rtionship. Her voice became muted, her thoughts silenced, and she was


    left with a profound sense of insignificance.


    It was just a deliberate act from Amy, aimed at showcasing their supposedly good rtionship.


    Previously, Benjamin didn’t respond because he deemed it unnecessary and


    didn’t want to pay attention to it.


    He had always been a reserved person, and in his world, the only woman who upied


    his entire world was Martina. As for other women, they didn’t even qualify as passing


    acquaintances in his eyes.


    But the current situation was different. Benjamin didn’t want to see any discontent in


    Martina’s heart. So what if he had really taken action?


    Amy copsed onto the ground, appearingpletely vulnerable as if she had fallen


    into hell.


    She pursed her lips, pretending to be strong as she wiped away her tears.


    Unfortunately, it had no effect, and in the next second, tears streamed down her face like a


    river bursting its banks.


    She questioned, “Benjamin, is it because Martina doesn’t like me that you’re treating me this way?”


    “I know I can’tpare to her in any aspect, I know I’m not her match in any way. I just wanted to give


    you a piece of my heart and make you happy.”


    “I never expected it to backfire like this. If that’s the case, I’ll try my best not to appear in front of you in


    the future, as long as Martina doesn’t find me bothersome.”


    At this moment, Amy’s words were nothing but bitch talk,, a perfect example of double- dealing.


    Elena was on the verge of vomiting as she listened to it, and she even narrowed her eyes and made


    gestures in response. “Oh my, Paloma, who do you think will listen to you. with this act? Weren’t you


    just being arrogant a moment ago? You even insulted my friend, calling her a gold-digger!”


    Amy’s face immediately turned pale, and she seemed genuinely flustered. She didn’t expect Elena to


    suddenly speak up at this moment.


    Elena seemed to have some pent-up anger and continued to criticize, “You’ve been provoking and


    even started the physical confrontation! And now you’re pretending to be a pitiful littlemb. Who are


    you trying to fool? Is this the character of the Paloma family?”


    “I don’t think you and your brother are good people, and it’s no wonder your health is so weak. It’s


    retribution!” Elena kept on ranting with her hands on her waist until her mouth went dry, and finally, she


    stopped talking.


    As Elena’s words continued, Benjamin’s expression became increasingly grim, and Martina, who stood


    beside Benjamin, keenly sensed that something was wrong.


    She wanted to stop Elena from speaking further, but Elena waspletely oblivious to Martina’s subtle


    hints.


    ‘Elena


    Martina lowered her voice and called out, finally putting a stop to Elena.


    With a single nce, Elena saw Benjamin’s pitch-ck expression, and she then took a step back in


    fear.


    “Well, Mr. Walker, what’s with that look? Do you think I’ve gone too far?” she asked, trying to support


    her best friend.


    Benjamin was indeed angry, but it wasn’t because of Elena’s words. It was only now that he truly


    understood the kind of life Martina had lived before. He realized that, in private, everyone treated


    Martina the same way-calling her a gold digger and criticizing her for trying to be something she


    wasn’t, like a duck trying to be a swan.


    If every duck could easily be a swan, wouldn’t that mean any woman could easilye into his


    life?


    Not every woman would be treated by him in such a manner, just because that woman was Martina.


    Benjamin now had a clear understanding of his own thoughts, and the anger in his eyes was


    impossible to dissipate.


    At the moment when Amy felt truly terrified, Benjamin issued his finalmand, “Ten ps on her


    face, then send her back to the Paloma family.”


    Amy was filled with extreme horror. What?! Benjamin actually ordered her to receive ten ps on the


    face in front of so many people!? Not only would it be very painful, but it would also be humiliating. If


    such a thing really happened, how could she live in her circle. in the future?


    It was likely that this matter would quickly spread to everyone’s ears. By then, even if those people


    didn’t say anything in front of her, they would surely harbor thoughts and calctions in their hearts. It


    would be impossible for them to regard her as the once prestigious Miss Paloma of the Paloma family!


    For Amy, this was a situation more difficult to bear than death.
