Chapter 111: 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, soAmy 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 waswrong well.

The twitching of his right eyelid was uncontrollable, causing his inner tension to rise as “What did yousay? Benjamin really, came? Why is he here? Isn’t today the Paloma family’s banquet? Why would hecome at this time?” Countless questions filled his mind, but he couldn’t replace 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 apurpose.

The moment Adam thought of this possibility, he turned uneasy. Could it be that Benjamin camespecifically 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 hissense 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 madehim feel uncomfortable all over, and he couldn’t care less about their previous relationship, whether itwas good or not.

Even though Adam had known Benjamin for 18 years, wasn’t it all because of a woman that he hadbeen slapped so many times?

Even though deep down he knew that he had brought most of those slaps upon himself, it still feltunfair 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 youcan 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 youcan go and see for yourself.” He was just a worker earning wages in this villa. How could he possiblyknow so much?

Just as Adam was seriously considering running away even if it meant getting beaten up, hecoincidentally 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, Adamhad 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’scurrent visit held hidden intentions, but they remained uncertain about the exact nature of thoseintentions.

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 infront 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 herpersonality.

Perhaps even the members of the Paloma family didn’t know what Amy was like what Amy was likeoutside, or maybe they turned a blind eye to it. Because Amy was, after all, the most beloved little girlof 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’sgrandfather, Gary Paloma.

Due to Benjamin’s undeniable influence, even Gary had to show respect towards him. Benjamin, withhis few years of experience, had managed to lead his company to a position that was unshakable byanyone.

This was the dream and the utmost fear of many people. Even the once powerful Gary of the Palomafamily 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 hisgranddaughter, 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 secludedand 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 tostay in the city together. Otherwise, she would never have been able to stay here for such a long timewithout anyone stopping her.

Recently, the chances of Amy falling ill had decreased significantly, indicating that her health had trulystabilized.

Gary had someone prepare a cup of tea for Benjamin, and his words carried a hint of trying to win himover.

“Benjamin, it’s been a long time since we last met,” Gary said. Despite being an elder, he didn’t requireany formalities.

Benjamin’s expression remained indifferent. He only offered brief, perfunctory responses to Gary, suchas a few murmurs of “right,” ” Yes,” solely out of courtesy. Other than that, he didn’t utter anyunnecessary 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 specialaltitude.

Even Mr. Gary Paloma, standing before him, was no exception. Without the positive history betweenMr. 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 detrimentalto 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 hadoffended him?

Truly, Gary was an old fox of many years, and he quickly figured out the problem with just a littlethought. However, he didn’t expose anything on the surface and remained calm as ever.
