Chapter 110: The Treasure in His Eyes
Looking at Martina’s peaceful sleeping face on the bed, with her frown finally easing, Benjamin’s heart finally regained its calmness.
There had never been such a feeling for Benjamin before. Now, whenever he saw Martina suffer even a little, he couldn’t help but feel the urge to go mad.
The tenderness in Benjamin’s eyes was only for Martina, and now his only obsession was to have Martina by his side.always.
But when Simon entered the ward, Benjamin’s gaze returned to his usual cold and detached demeanor, as if he were a robotic machine in command. He asked coldly, “How is
it?”
Benjamin had instructed Simon earlier to investigate who was behind the scenes
causing this situation today.
Simon hesitated to speak, “Boss… this matter may not be easy to resolve…”
Benjamin looked at him expressionlessly, “Just speak.”
Simon said, “His name is Rick, who is the son of Nick Timber, the owner of an exporting company. We have had ongoing business cooperation with them.”
If that were all, it wouldn’t be a big deal. It was just business cooperation that could be terminated at any time. Even the entire Timber family’s stability in the city depends on Benjamin’s words.
Benjamin knew that this wasn’t the end, and he heard Simon’s follow–up words.
“But the real reason that prompted Rick to do this is Amy.” Simon used to address Amy as Miss Paloma, but now he couldn’t even be bothered to say it. It was clear how much Simon disliked her. His face also displayed the dislike..
Amy was already in poor health. Why did she continue to cause trouble? Wasn’t she afraid of the consequences?
And the crucial point was, why did she provoke Miss Martinez? Didn’t she know that Miss Martinez was the apple of the boss’s eye?
If Miss Martinez wasn’t happy, it meant that the boss wasn’t happy. And when the boss.
wasn’t happy, it could spell trouble for anyone in the entire company.
It was a vicious cycle. Didn’t Amy realize that? Or was she not sufficiently aware from
the previous incident?
Leslie was also being wrongly blamed. He came to the Rodríguez family villa but was temporarily sent away by Martina. He thought that Martina would be safe with Elena at home, so he waited in the car. He didn’t know that waiting would lead to trouble. Currently, he was under punishment.
After Simon finished speaking, he fell silent, waiting for Benjamin’s next Instructions.
He was uncertain about what the boss would do next. Dealing with Rick should be
relatively easy. But the Paloma family and the boss’s family did have some connections. The previous two generations had a good relationship in business, and they were also close friends. Otherwise, the boss wouldn’t have known someone like Adam, a second–generation.
Originally, the two of them shouldn’t have been people on the same path. It was because of their families‘ relationship that they had any interaction.
Amy was also the princess of the Paloma family. If something really happened, it would be difficult to explain to Mrs. Elizabeth Walker.
Benjamin’s eyes flickered as he looked at Martina on the bed. She shouldn’t have to
endure all of this.
So, no matter how difficult the situation was, he should ultimately make a choice.
He had already disappointed Martina in the past because of his inaction. If he continued to handle things the same way as before, he might end up losing Martina forever.
Leslie, punished, limped and waited outside the ward.
Seeing Benjamin and Simon coming out, he quickly approached, “Boss, let me explain…” Benjamin never liked listening to flashy things like this. “No need for words, take care
of Martina.”
From these words, Leslie understood that the boss reluctantly forgave him.
Most importantly, he should be grateful that Miss Martinez didn’t suffer any substantial harm. Otherwise, he wouldn’t just be limping like this.
After all, he had been by Benjamin’s side for over 10 years, and their relationship had been good. If it were someone else, they would never continue to stay by Benjamin’s side. He could be considered a special case, albeit barely.
Leslie looked through the glass window of the ward at Martina inside, feeling incredibly
uneasy.
It was his own fault, really. If only he hadn’t waited in the car the whole time.
A muscular man was just nothing to him.
Simon’s fighting abilities were all taught by Leslie himself. Leslie could take care of a muscular man with just one hand.
Benjamin and Simon left. However, Benjamin arranged for several people to stay at the hospital, fearing that something might happen to Martina.
At this moment, Benjamin was already on his way to the Paloma family. Today was the day of the monthly family reunion dinner at the Paloma family. Almost all the members of the Paloma family would arrive early on this day. Even if they we
running late, they would still arrive before lunchtime.
After all, Adam’s grandfather, Gary Paloma, was still alive, and if they didn’t want to displease him, they had to do so.
For these years, it had been a rule.
Benjamin had visited the Paloma family a few times in the past, but each time he came
and left in a hurry.
The car stopped at the entrance of the Paloma family villa, and without even saying anything, Benjamin merely showed half of his face, and the gatekeeper let him in.
The Paloma family resided in a place with beautiful scenery and a considerable area. However, it wasn’t the place that all members of the Paloma family lived here together on a regular basis. Instead, it was more like taking turns on duty, with people coming here
at irregular intervals.
Amy lived here because the environment was good and peaceful, making it the most
suitable place for her health.
Gary doted on his granddaughter the most, treating her like a treasure since she was young. To Gary, his granddaughter was a precious gem, and he would go above and beyond to ensure her well–being and happiness.
Amy was currently sitting in her bedroom, having someone do her makeup in front of
the mirror.
At first glance, she did have a bit of a feeling of an ancient noble lady, but she lacked a certain sophistication and radiance.
Her personal makeup artist was doing her best to apply the makeup, occasionally asking if there were any areas she wanted to modify.
If it were before, Amy would surely find many faults, picking at some trivial flaws intentionally. But this time, she was clearly distracted, to the point that she didn’t even bother finding faults.
She looked out the window, having learned the truth about last night’s incident from
someone.
Indeed, Rick’s audacity was impressive, daring to do such a thing at the Rodríguez family’s place. But to be honest, Amy secretly hoped that the people Rick hired last night would succeed. Who would have thought that Benjamin would come to rescue her in time?
However, that wasn’t her primary concern. She was worried about the possibility of being implicated in this incident.
She pondered carefully. From the beginning until now, she hadn’t said or done anything that could be incriminating. Even if Benjamin was exceptionally skilled, there was no way h could find any evidence against her, right?
