: 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 to come 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 uncontrollable, 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 to come 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 slap 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 contemplated the notion of immediately fleeing, as it would, at the very least, preserve his
sense of self–respect.
The servant explained, “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 uncomfortable all over, and he couldn’t care less about their previous relationship, 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 slapped so many times?
Even though deep down he knew that he had brought most of those slaps upon himself, it still felt
unfair because it was all because of Benjamin. Adam felt a strong sense of imbalance.
“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 villa. 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 exclaimed.
Amy had no knowledge of what had transpired between Adam and Benjamin before. Similarly, 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 his company 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 particular 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 place far away from the city. She hadn’t spent a lot of time together with Benjamin.
It was only later, 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 we last 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.
