Chapter 88


    Chapter 88: Drenching Adam’s Head with the Icy Drink.


    It wasn’t until some time had passed that Adam gradually began to sense that something was off. He


    cautiously fixed his gaze on Benjamin, feeling an inexplicable sense of guilt within himself.


    He began to feel nervous. What was wrong? Did he say something wrong just now?


    But all he talked about were some topics rted to Martina, and he merely made a couple of casual


    derogatory remarks. Benjamin couldn’t possibly be angry because of that, right?


    Regardless of how Adam thought about it, he couldn’t imagine it going in that direction.


    He believed that Benjamin would never easily let his mood be swayed by Martina, let alone direct his


    anger towards him. That was absolutely impossible.


    “Benjamin, are you feeling unhappy or something? Is that woman bothering you once more, pressuring


    you to get married?” The use of the word “again” in this context was splendid.


    Upon careful consideration, some memories rted to this sentence finally surfaced in Benjamin’s


    mind. There was indeed a time when Martina had used running away from home as a way to pressure


    him into marrying her time.


    What did he say back then?


    Benjamin pondered earnestly for a moment, and finally recalled the situation at that


    He seemed to have said that he was busy and would discuss it when he returned. Later, because he


    was really busy, Martina’s words from back then quickly slipped from his mind.


    And then there was no “after” anymore.


    When he carefully considered his past actions, he realized that he had been quite a jerk. No wonder


    Martina had the intention to leave him. It turned out that everything had its reasons. It was because of


    his past actions and his mind being elsewhere that he had repeatedly dyed things.


    What kind of emotions did Martina carry when she said such words back then?


    how heartless he was, repeatedly pushing Martina into a state of despair? more he thought about the


    past, the more suppressed Benjamin’s mood became. eryone present at this moment was already too


    scared to even breathe. They were ed that if they said another word, they might face an irreversible


    disaster.


    They all felt that something was terribly wrong with Benjamin today, as if he could kill at any moment.


    Even Adam had to tread cautiously now. “Benjamin, why aren’t you speaking? What happened?” He


    gathered his courage and managed to utter a sentence.


    He then voluntarily stood up and filled the drinks in front of Benjamin as well as his own cup. “No matter


    what, if I said anything unpleasant just now, I hope you don’t mind. I’ll drink first as a gesture of respect,


    you can take it easy, bro.” After saying that, Adam immediately downed his drink.


    However, Benjamin didn’t have any intention to drink at all, not even the slightest


    movement.


    Now Adam was truly panicking. What had happened? What did he say that caused Benjamin to be so


    unhappy?


    Leslie saw everything and probably understood Benjamin’s current state of mind better than anyone


    else.


    Just as Adam was about to pour himself another drink, Benjamin finally reacted. He first added several


    ice cubes into his own cup. Then, he stood up and poured it directly over Adam’s head.


    Adam was so scared that he didn’t dare to move. He simply couldn’t understand why this was


    happening.


    “B…Benjamin,” his voice trembled, and everyone else was too frightened toe closer. Their faces


    turned pale as if they could faint at any moment.


    Adam could feel the cold liquid running down his head, flowing all the way down his face and neck


    without exception. Not only did the difort of being drenched in cold liquid prevail, but the


    embarrassment of being sshed with alcohol by someone else in front of numerous friends added to


    the humiliation. To make matters worse, the paralyzing fear of taking any action only intensified the


    sense of shame.


    But Adam didn’t dare to do anything. He knew that if Benjamin was really angry, he should silently


    endure it here, or else the consequences would be severe.


    After doing all this, Benjamin calmly spoke, “Enjoying it?”


    It was hard to imagine that these two words came out of Benjamin’s mouth.


    Adam faked a smile on his face and said, “As long as you are happy. I am fine with it.” Everyone dared


    not to say anything.


    It was truly unimaginable that such a sycophantic remark came out of Adam’s mouth.


    Benjamin coldly curled his lips and asked again, “Is it fun?”


    Unexpectedly, upon hearing these words, Adam’s mind went nk once again. “I don’t quite


    understand what you mean -”


    Was this just for fun?


    Others also attempted to say something on behalf of Adam, but Benjamin didn’t give.


    them the chance.


    “What do you think you are?” Benjamin’s voice was filled with endless coldness and impatience. It


    seemed that he had reached his limit with the people before him.


    With just one sentence, everyone dared not speak out of turn anymore. From initially addressing him


    as Benjamin, they now referred to him as Mr. Walker.


    “Ben… cough, no, I mean, Mr. Walker… We didn’t mean it. We won’t dare to do it again…” Adam was


    frightened.


    Called here in the middle of the night, everyone thought it was an opportunity to bond with Benjamin,


    but who knew they would be intimidated like this?


    Especially Adam, the current feeling was even more ufortable than death itself.


    Benjamin squinted his eyes and sat back down. His long, slender legs rested on the slightly shorter


    sofa, entuating their length and creating a sense of confinement. Those


    long legs of his seemed somewhat out of ce, but now no one dared to say another word, as they


    had been silenced by fear.


    Benjamin cast a cold nce at Adam and asked, “Amy, whose sister is she?”


    The distant tone of his words instantly snapped Adam back to reality. Ignoring the difort of being


    sticky all over, he hastily replied, “She is my sister.”Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “What does she have to do with me?” Benjamin uttered, sinctly conveying his message to Adam.


    Once again, a few short words made Adamprehend the implication.


    Was it possible that Benjamin’s discontent stemmed from his dissatisfaction with hist sister,bined


    with his earlier nonsensical remarks? But regarding the rtionship between Benjamin and his sister,


    many elders were actually quite satisfied. Could it be that


    Benjamin had no such intentions at all?


    Speaking of which, it could only me Amy for hiding everything she had suffered from Benjamin in the


    past. Even when Benjamin personally drove him out of the vi, she didn’t say a word to anyone.
