Chapter 114: Two Options Upon hearing this, Adam immediately defended his sister, “Simon, you’re going too far. My sister has already explained it clearly!”
In reality, Adam’s words were intentionally directed at Benjamin. After all, Simon represented Benjamin’s reputation to some extent.
By speaking out against Simon like this, Adam was indirectly expressing his stance against Benjamin. It was just a more subtle way of doing so.
After finishing his statement, he stared at Benjamin. He didn’t understand why did Benjamin suddenly undergo such a significant transformation and go to great lengths for Martina? Was this really normal?
Didn’t Benjamin used to be indifferent towards Martina? So why did he suddenly change. so much, as if he had become a completely different person?
Unfortunately, even if Adam were to ask these questions directly, it wouldn’t lead to any meaningful answers.
Benjamin’s current behavior was already blatantly obvious. He simply wanted to stand up for Martina. Regardless of who it was, anyone who offended Martina would be offending Benjamin. But that person shouldn’t have been his own sister.
Even Gary couldn’t bear to listen any longer.
“Benjamin, given the relationship between our two families, do you still not believe Amy’s words?” Gary squinted and said seriously. If the man present wasn’t Benjamin, he probably would have been unable to resist kicking him out, never wanting him to appear in front of the Paloma family again.
However, even Gary didn’t dare to push things too far because it was Benjamin. At most, he could only vent his emotions subtly and reasonably.
Previously, Benjamin had remained silent because he felt it unnecessary. But now, it was evident that the people present were unyielding and even wanted to use any means possible to help Amy distance herself from the situation.
In that case, Benjamin didn’t want to wait any longer. He simply moved his finger slightly, and once again, Simon retrieved an audio file from his phone that could prove everything.
This time, it was the voice of Rick. Even without seeing him in person, one could tell that it was definitely Rick speaking.
However, at this moment, his emotions seemed off. His voice sounded weak, as if he had either been drinking too much or hadn’t slept well.
“Why did you do that last night? Will you tell me or not?” a man asked.
“I’ll tell you everything…” Rick responded. He had never been one to uphold his dignity, especially when confronting Benjamin. He couldn’t suppress his emotions and the truth any longer.
“I was just angry. Why can women like Martinez receive Benjamin’s favor?” Rick said.
“But Miss Paloma can only watch from the sidelines. I can’t bear to see Miss Paloma being wronged, so I wanted to seek revenge on her behalf!”
Rick’s words sounded good, but unfortunately, no one would believe him.
There was a muffled groan, as if something had made a sound.
“Don’t… don’t treat me like this…” This time, Rick changed his tone again. “I’m telling the truth? In fact, it was Miss Paloma who gave me hints. I wanted her to look at me differently, so I had to take risks!”
Amy remained silent.
She had never seen such a cowardly and despicable man. If Rick had already become such a coward, why did he still try to take advantage of the so–called opportunity to help her?
After encountering a real situation, Rick turned out to be the first person to betray her.
It was really ridiculous and disgusting.
Amy’s anger was boiling inside her, and she wished she could kill him. However, with Benjamin still present, she didn’t dare to expose her true feelings.
“Benjamin, don’t you believe me at all? We have had so many years of relationship. Even if you don’t like me, you shouldn’t treat me so cruelly!” Her eyes looked innocent, as if all the accusations were unfounded. “I’ve said it before, this has nothing to do with me.
Whether you believe it or not, it’s the truth!”
Gary’s heart ached for Amy. He looked at Benjamin with increasing impatience and said, “Benjamin, are you really going to take it this far for an insignificant woman?”
Initially, Benjamin didn’t want to say anything that could affect the relationship between the two families. But these people were stubborn and wouldn’t change their ways. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
An insignificant woman? Perhaps in the eyes of others, Martina might be insignificant, but for Benjamin, she was his future wife.
Benjamin’s attitude was very clear. His purpose in coming today was not to issue warnings but to provide them with information and make them aware of their responsibilities.
“Do you remember what happened last time?” With just this casual remark, Benjamin made Amy tremble uncontrollably. She knew that Benjamin was serious.
If it hadn’t been for her sudden illness last time, she would have truly faced humiliation She wouldn’t have been able to maintain her lofty status in front of others, regardless whether she acknowledged it or not. That was the harsh reality.
“Grandpa…” Amy looked at Gary, hoping he would support her.
Deep down, Gary knew that his beloved granddaughter was capable of such actions. But even if she did, so what? Martina was just an insignificant woman with an unclear identity. How could she be compared to his precious granddaughter? Benjamin’s actions today were a complete overreach table.
“That’s enough!” Gary’s anger boiled over as he forcefully slammed his hand on the Today was supposed to be a joyous occasion, a day worth celebrating. But now, this incident had occurred.
“Amy, come over here to me,” Gary beckoned gently to Amy.
Amy quickly left Adam’s side and went behind Gary.
The more ruthless Benjamin was towards Amy, the more she resented Martina.
Because if it weren’t for Martina, how could Benjamin treat her like this?
Benjamin’s patience had completely run out. “There are two options: Number 1, kneel down and apologize to Martina; Number 2, experience the same thing.”
Experience the same thing?
Was Benjamin intending to seek revenge and subject Amy to the same ordeal?
Simon intentionally added fuel to the fire. “I forgot to remind everyone that my boss’s future wife was not only locked in the bathroom by someone, but also drugged with malicious intent.”
“If it weren’t for the boss’s timely arrival, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Miss Paloma, as per the boss’s instructions, you have the freedom to choose between the two options,” Simon continued.
