    Chapter 96: This Wasn’t Her Home!


    Adam’s gaze became alert, his fists clenched tightly, but he couldn’t do anything in front of Benjamin’s


    presence.


    The current Benjamin was no longer the same as before. If he could hold a grudge against Adam for


    his past actions towards Martina, then he certainly could do so now.


    “Martina, what exactly do you want?” Adam’s guarded demeanor made it seem like he could flee at any


    moment.


    To be honest, Martina found it strange why Adam would suddenly be so afraid of her. No, that doesn’t


    sound right. To be precise, Adam should be afraid of Benjamin.


    Well, in any case, it couldn’t be that he was afraid of her. But regardless of who he was afraid of, as


    long as he was really afraid, that would be enough.


    “Adam, it seems like we’re destined to be enemies.” Martina said, with a somewhat spoiled and


    arrogant demeanor. “Remember when I mentioned that unforgettable p? Well, it’s still vivid in my


    memory.”


    Upon hearing these words, Adam’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Martina also wants to get


    physical!?


    He tightened his fists even more and asked, “What do you want to do?” As he spoke, he kept ncing


    in Benjamin’s direction. He thought that they had an 18–year friendship after all. Could Benjamin really


    just stand by and do nothing?


    Clearly, Adam had forgotten how heartless Benjamin wasst night. Even if it was to let Martina vent


    her anger, he wouldn’t say an extra word today.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Elena observed the scene in silence. She had long been displeased with Adam, and if Martina could


    get some revenge today, that would be excellent!


    The next moment, before anyone could react, Martina pped Adam right across the face! Adam’s


    pupils constricted.


    Even the woman behind him was shocked to the core. Perhaps she was calcting what kind of


    identity this woman had. Was she a wealthy youngdy from a prominent family? How could she dare


    to treat Adam like this??


    But Adam wasn’t ying around either. After all, he was still a man. His powerful hand instantly gripped


    Martina’s wrist.


    Gritted his teeth, he managed to squeeze out, “Martina, don’t push it too far!”


    Martina was puzzled. Who was really pushing it too far? Moreover, even if she did want to push it too


    far, so what? After all, she just wanted to seek revenge and take this opportunity to annoy Benjamin.


    She nced sideways at Benjamin and indeed saw a slight twitch in his brows, despite his subtle


    emotions being hard to detect. But she caught it.


    He couldn’t hide it anymore, right?


    But in reality, Benjamin’s change in expression was solely due to Adam’s actions. Especially seeing


    Adam gripping Martina’s wrist, even if it was out of necessity, it still filled Benjamin with displeasure.


    His fingertips twitched slightly, giving off a strong impulse to knock down Adam with a single punch.


    …


    Martina pressed on with the advantage, once she started, she would see it through to the end.


    Adam being able to block that p didn’t necessarily mean he could block every attack. Martina parted


    her red lips gently and said, “Even if I truly push it too far, what can you do about it?”


    As the words fell, Martina decisively lifted her slender leg, aiming a kick at Adam’s most vulnerable


    spot!


    There was a distinct ‘crack‘ sound that emanated from between Adam’s legs. In an instant, a grimace


    of pain appeared on his swollen face.


    “Ahhhhh –” The screams of agony couldn’t be concealed, sounding deafening and agonizing. It felt as if


    every nerve in his being was on fire, and the intensity of the pain was beyondprehension. This


    kind of force would be unbearable for any man, including Adam!


    Taking advantage of Adam shifting his hands to protect a different area, Martina swung another p.


    This time, Martina’s p finallynded on Adam’s face, causing his previously slightly reduced swelling


    to instantly puff up again.


    Satisfied, Martina picked up a wet tissue from the nearby table and vigorously wiped her fingers, not


    missing a single crevice between them. She left with a smile and dropped a line, “With this incident


    today, consider it even.” Adam couldn’t utter any words; all that escaped his lips were agonized


    screams. Consider it even? He was almost crippled, and this was considered even?


    When did Martina be so crazy? Wasn’t she previously gentle and timid, hesitant to make even the


    slightest noise?


    However, with Benjamin present, no matter how dissatisfied Adam felt in his heart, he could only


    silently endure it all.


    He red angrily in Martina’s direction, grinding his teeth, saying, “Martina, you’re something!” He then


    turned to Benjamin and asked, “Mr. Walker, may I leave now?”


    The present Adam was no longer as confident as before, confident in thinking that he and Benjamin


    were great buddies!


    Benjamin remained silent, which could be considered as his approval.


    Elena looked smugly at Adam, her gaze seemingly saying, “You’re about to get beaten to death, aren’t


    you?”


    Meanwhile, Martina kept her head down, eating her fruit as if nothing had happened.


    Leslie silently gave Martina a thumbs–up in his heart. Indeed, the current Miss Martinez was exuding


    an intimidating aura and was impressive.


    As Adam left, Martina had no desire to stay any longer.


    She and Benjamin escorted Elena back home, and then Martina followed Benjamin back.


    In truth, she didn’t want to go back at all, but she knew it wasn’t the right time yet. If she didn’t want to


    go through the same hardships as before and eventually be captured again, it would be best not to act


    recklessly.


    They were back in the vi.


    Despite the refreshing andfortable air, Martina felt a heaviness in her chest. She had no intention


    of waiting for Benjamin and went straight upstairs.


    After all the running around outside, Martina was covered in sweat.


    Upon returning to her room, she locked the door and headed for the bathroom, nning to take a


    rxing shower.


    As Benjamin approached the bedroom, he found that the door was already locked. Elizabeth heard


    something and walked out of her bedroom on the first floor. Seeing her son locked out, she became


    even more displeased.


    She grumbled, “Martina is getting more and more disrespectful. What’s the point of locking the door?


    Does she really think this ce is her own home?”


    Under Benjamin’s demands, Elizabeth couldn’t continue to cause trouble in front of Martina. But she


    wasn’t someone who could keep her anger in check. She couldn’t contain her fury towards Martina


    ago.


    If it weren’t for Benjamin’s sake, Elizabeth would have probably exploded a long time


    And of course, all these words were heard by Benjamin with his excellent hearing. His gaze changed,


    standing at the stairwell, his gaze focused on Elizabeth. He deliberately corrected, saying, “This ce


    has always been her home.”


    Elizabeth was rendered speechless.


    Even if she didn’t want to admit it, she had no choice but to acknowledge that her son now truly


    considered Martina as family.


    Their rtionship was even better than that of a mother and son. How could Elizabeth possibly ept


    that? She knew that a tough stance wouldn’t work in front of her son, so she could only try to soften her


    attitude as much as possible.
