Chapter 115: His Untouchable Aspect
In reality, Benjamin was still showing respect towards the Paloma family, which explained his choice of words. If it were someone else, not only would there be no two
options, but Benjamin would surely press their head down and subject them to even more
severe consequences.
But unfortunately, some people were insatiable, always thinking they deserve something
better and shouldn’t have to do such difficult things.
Amy believed that both options were a death sentence for her. Kneeling down and apologizing to Martina was worse than dying!
But if she were to experience the same thing, wouldn’t it mean destroying herself? Benjamin was unexpectedly so ruthless towards her, willing to tarnish her innocence just to support Martina. Was that really fair?
Even Adam’s face changed drastically. “Mr. Walker, isn’t this going too far? Even if, as
you said, that bit…”
Perhaps due to concern for Benjamin’s expression, Adam promptly revised his statement, “Actually, what I meant to say is that Miss Martinez managed to turn a difficult situation around. Your timely arrival prevented any harm from coming to her.”
“That’s just your assumption. Why do you want my sister to face even worse consequences? Have you forgotten about her health? Are you trying to kill her?” Adam questioned.
Benjamin suddenly realized that he couldn’t fully understand Adam.
Clearly, they had a relationship built over the years and were constantly in contact as two families. But now, why did Benjamin find the current Adam so unfamiliar? How could he assert such absurd statements with such unwavering confidence?
When such an incident occurred involving Martina, it was deemed acceptable or understandable. However, when it involved Amy, it was treated as a serious offense or
wrongdoing.
If Amy hadn’t acted in such a way, she wouldn’t have to face these consequences. Ultimately, it was the fault of the individuals involved.
Now Benjamin’s emotions had reached their limit, and he wouldn’t make any changes to
his decision.
Perhaps only in front of Martina did Benjamin show a hint of compassion. But in front of others, he was like a dragon, and no one dared to touch his scale.
Coincidentally, Martina happened to be Benjamin’s untouchable aspect.
“Mr. Gary Paloma, why don’t you take a look at this first?” Without saying another word,
Simon took out a document from his briefcase, which was filled with densely written words.
Due to the distance, others couldn’t see the content clearly, but they were extremely
curious about what it was.
Adam even wished he could stretch his neck to get a glimpse, but the visibility was
minimal.
Gary was filled with anger, but due to Benjamin’s status, he reluctantly took the
document.
The moment he looked at it, he was truly taken aback. His eyes were filled with disbelief. “Benjamin, you’re actually going to go against the Paloma family for a woman?!”
Obviouly, even at this moment, the situation remained the same.
They never consider putting themselves in Martina’s shoes and understand the amount of pain she must have endured.
They never cared about how much pressure Martina had to endure in the past.
They didn’t care whether Martina would suffer from psychological trauma. Their primary concern was their own interests and their own people.
Benjamin took a sip of coffee and said, “You have 5 minutes to consider, Gary. Why
don’t you make the choice on her behalf?”
Gary was seething with anger. This was truly outrageous. Benjamin was openly
opposing their Paloma family!
However, that document did contain much confidential information that should not be
seen by others. If Benjamin were to make the contents of that document public, it would be a huge blow to the Paloma family. Everyone could turn around and step heavily on them.
Gary had grown accustomed to being admired by others, and he certainly wouldn’t want
to be brought down all at once.
Moreover, he knew that Benjamin never fought a battle he wasn’t confident in. If he
could say that, it meant he still had other evidence in his hands.
If their family remained so stubborn and unyielding, the consequences would be
extremely dangerous.
Gary found himself in a dilemma. On one hand, there was his beloved granddaughter, and on the other hand, there was a crisis that threatened the survival of the Paloma family.
What should he choose?
Amy keenly sensed that her grandfather’s expression was becoming increasingly
unusual.
Her heart started pounding instantly, and she couldn’t even be certain of how her grandfather would choose.
2/5
At this moment, Amy was in great pain. She thought that no matter what, she could at least occupy a place in Benjamin’s eyes, even if it was just a small one.
Unfortunately, the final outcome turned out to be the opposite. Amy felt like her heart.
was breaking.
“Grandpa…” Amy’s trembling cry finally brought back Gary’s thoughts.
Benjamin glanced at his wristwatch. “4 minutes remaining.”
Gary didn’t say anything.
This was unbelievable! Truly unbelievable!! Gary really wanted to kick Benjamin out right.
now, but due to various reasons, he couldn’t actually do it.
He took a deep breath, feeling his blood pressure skyrocketing, and he felt like he was
about to pass out from anger.
In the current situation, Gary had to make a choice.
“Fine… Fine… Benjamin, it’s been a while, and you’ve truly surprised me,” with great
iculty, he moved his lips and said. “Since you’ve said all that, what else with great
say?”
is there for me to
Gary, feeling both heartbroken and helpless, held Amy’s hand. “Amy, it’s just an apology.
Just do it.”
Amy couldn’t understand what was written on that piece of paper that could make her grandfather so fearful.
She didn’t want to do it, and tears started streaming down her face. “So, you are giving up on me? Even you don’t want to care for me anymore?”
Only heaven knew how much pain Gary was feeling in his heart. He could only slowly wipe away Amy’s tears and said, “How could I give up on you? But for now, we can only make this choice. Do you want to let yourself be ruined?”
Yes, given the two options, kneeling down and apologizing was actually a relatively mild way, only insulting her dignity without putting her life in danger.
Amy’s body trembled uncontrollably, and her emotions reached a breaking point. “Grandpa, I despise her. Asking me to do that is no different from sentencing me to death!”
