Chapter 111


    Chapter 111: Was There a Problem?


    Anxiously, Amy had the makeup artist do some finishing touches and quickly went out.


    Regardless, this was one of the few times Benjamin took the initiative toe to the Paloma family, so


    Amy definitely had to personally greet him.


    Adam had just arrived here when he heard the news of Benjamin’s visit.


    For some reason, he always vaguely felt that something was off, but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was


    wrong well.


    The twitching of his right eyelid was uncontroble, causing his inner tension to rise as “What did you


    say? Benjamin really, came? Why is he here? Isn’t today the Paloma family’s banquet? Why would he


    come at this time?” Countless questions filled his mind, but he couldn’t find a real way to answer them,


    making him even more puzzled.


    Given Benjamin’s personality, it was absolutely impossible for him toe at this time, unless he had a


    purpose.


    The moment Adam thought of this possibility, he turned uneasy. Could it be that Benjamin came


    specifically for him?


    If Benjamin got angry again today and wanted to publicly p him, it would be like killing Adam.


    Adam had already endured such a shame once, and he absolutely didn’t want to go through it again.


    He even contemted the notion of immediately fleeing, as it would, at the very least, preserve his


    sense of self–respect.


    The servant exined, “Yes, Mr. Paloma, Mr. Walker indeed arrived with his assistant.


    and is currently waiting in the front hall. Would you like to go there now?”


    Naturally, Adam refused a thousand times in his mind. Just the thought of his past experiences made


    him feel ufortable all over, and he couldn’t care less about their previous rtionship, whether it


    was good or not.


    Even though Adam had known Benjamin for 18 years, wasn’t it all because of a woman that he had


    been pped so many times?


    Even though deep down he knew that he had brought most of those ps upon himself, it still felt


    unfair because it was all because of Benjamin. Adam felt a strong sense of imbnce.


    “Do you know why he came here? Answer my most important question!” Adam snapped.


    “I don’t know,” The servant shook his head. “I have no idea about Mr. Walker’s intentions. Maybe you


    can go and see for yourself.” He was just a worker earning wages in


    “I don’t know,” The servant shook his head. “I have no idea about Mr. Walker’s intentions. Maybe you


    can go and see for yourself.” He was just a worker earning wages in this vi. How could he possibly


    know so much?


    Just as Adam was seriously considering running away even if it meant getting beaten up, he


    coincidentally ran into Amy, who had hurriedly arrived.


    Amy’s eyes lit up the moment she saw her elder brother.


    “Adam, you came at just the right time! I heard that Benjamin also came. Let’s go over there quickly,”


    Amy eximed.


    Amy had no knowledge of what had transpired between Adam and Benjamin before. Simrly, Adam


    had no knowledge of the events involving Amy and Benjamin. The siblings had an unspoken


    agreement not to discuss those matters with each other. Thus, both of them suspected that Benjamin’s


    current visit held hidden intentions, but they remained uncertain about the exact nature of those


    intentions.


    Adam suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, but after all, Amy was his beloved sister.


    Even though he felt a bit apprehensive deep down, he had to agree in order to maintain his dignity in


    front of his sister.


    “I’ve heard it, too. Since it’s such a coincidence, let’s go together,” Adam decided.


    Amy sweetly smiled and took the initiative to link her arm with Adam’s as they walked forward.


    She appeared like a child who hadn’t grown up yet, clearly someone who had been spoiled. However,


    her spoiled behavior in front of others was also very genuine, indicating that she had two sides to her


    personality.


    Perhaps even the members of the Paloma family didn’t know what Amy was like what Amy was like


    outside, or maybe they turned a blind eye to it. Because Amy was, after all, the most beloved little girl


    of the Paloma family. Even if she did something disrespectful, it would surely be tolerated.


    In the front hall at this moment, Benjamin had already been personally greeted and seated by Adam’s


    grandfather, Gary Paloma.


    Due to Benjamin’s undeniable influence, even Gary had to show respect towards him. Benjamin, with


    his few years of experience, had managed to lead hispany to a position that was unshakable by


    anyone.


    This was the dream and the utmost fear of many people. Even the once powerful Gary of the Paloma


    family could only admire him.


    To be honest, Gary really had hoped that Benjamin could be with his beloved granddaughter. However,


    he was also shrewd, He could discern that Benjamin didn’t any particr affection towards his


    granddaughter, not even the usual sibling bond often seen in childhood.


    Maybe because Amy spent most of her time when she was a kid either in the hospital or in a secluded


    and warm ce far away from the city. She hadn’t spent a lot of time together with Benjamin.


    It was onlyter, as Amy’s health gradually stabilized, that there was finally an opportunity for them to


    stay in the city together. Otherwise, she would never have been able to stay here for such a long time


    without anyone stopping her.


    Recently, the chances of Amy falling ill had decreased significantly, indicating that her health had truly


    stabilized.


    Gary had someone prepare a cup of tea for Benjamin, and his words carried a hint of trying to win him


    over.


    “Benjamin, it’s been a long time since west met,” Gary said. Despite being an elder, he didn’t require


    any formalities.


    Benjamin’s expression remained indifferent. He only offered brief, perfunctory responses to Gary, such


    as a few murmurs of “right,” ” Yes,” solely out of courtesy. Other than that, he didn’t utter any


    unnecessary words.


    Simon knew that the boss only acted differently in front of Miss Martinez.


    As for most of the time, there would be no difference from before, and it wouldn’t give anyone a special


    altitude.


    Even Mr. Gary Paloma, standing before him, was no exception. Without the positive history between


    Mr. Gary Paloma and Mr. Antonio Martinez, and if Gary’s wife and Elizabeth didn’t have a strong bond,


    it was possible that the boss wouldn’t have shown any inclination. to acknowledge them in the slightest.


    Since respect was something that must be earned, the approach Amy took was ultimately detrimental


    to herself.


    Gary also clearly noticed that Benjamin’s demeanor this time was even colder than before.


    If Benjamin came here uninvited today, could it mean that something had happened or someone had


    offended him?


    Truly, Gary was an old fox of many years, and he quickly figured out the problem with just a little


    thought. However, he didn’t expose anything on the surface and remained calm as ever.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
