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 related 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 related 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 delayed things.
What kind of emotions did Martina carry when she said such words back then?
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 to come 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 discomfort of being drenched in cold liquid prevail, but the embarrassment of being splashed 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?”
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 blank 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. .com fast update
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 uncomfortable than death itself.
Benjamin squinted his eyes and sat back down. His long, slender legs rested on the slightly shorter sofa, accentuating their
length and creating a sense of confinement. Those
long legs of his seemed somewhat out of place, but now no one dared to say another word, as they had been silenced by fear..
Benjamin cast a cold glance at Adam and asked, “Amy, whose sister is she?”
The distant tone of his words instantly snapped Adam back to reality. Ignoring the discomfort of being sticky all over, he hastily
replied, “She is my sister.”
“What does she have to do with me?” Benjamin uttered, succinctly conveying his message to Adam. Once again, a few short
words made Adam comprehend the implication.
Was it possible that Benjamin’s discontent stemmed from his dissatisfaction with hist sister, combined with his earlier
nonsensical remarks? But regarding the relationship 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 blame Amy for hiding everything she had suffered from Benjamin in the past. Even when
Benjamin personally drove him out of the villa, she didn’t say a word to anyone.
