Chapter 69: Elizabeth’s Gave Martina A Hard Time Elizabeth’s eyes rolled around, almost exposing her thoughts directly on her face, and then said, “Sincethis woman dares to come back, how can I, the true hostess, remain indifferent?”

After a while, Martina had just finished enjoying a relaxing bath and was ready to lie. down on the bedfor a rest when she heard a knocking sound at the door.

Subconsciously, Martina wondered if it was Benjamin returning, but it turned out not to be the case.

Without waiting for Martina to say anything, the person outside pushed open the door. From the toneand voice, it was clear that it had nothing to do with Benjamin. Differentiating

between them was easy; it was just a matter of speaking.

When Martina looked up, she saw Elizabeth standing at the doorway, not even bothering to wait butentering the room right away what.

Martina’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, feeling like she couldn’t easily relax no ma

“Even though Elizabeth didn’t say anything, Martina could sense that she was deliberately picking onher, probably just looking for trouble! Elizabeth was a woman v pretended to be kind but enjoyedcreating conflicts.

“Martina, now that you’re back, as a member of this family, you can’t just go back and sleep all day,”Elizabeth said in a tone tinged with sarcasm. “What’s the difference between you and a uselessperson? I suggest you get up and tidy up, so you don’t end up suffering in the end.”

Elizabeth intentionally put on a facade of being understanding, but in reality, it wasn’t the case. Ifanyone actually dared to believe it, they would probably be making the biggest mistake.

Martina, upon hearing those words, simply rolled over and closed her eyes.

If it were before, she would have cared a lot about Elizabeth’s feelings and remarks. She would haveendured great grievances just to please her.

Unfortunately, the current Martina no longer possessed the noble thoughts and qualities she once had.All she wanted was to live a happy life, and everything else was irrelevant. She had already beenstripped of her freedom.

If she couldn’t even handle such trivial matters, she would truly be no different from a

lifeless zombie.

When Elizabeth saw Martina’s reaction, she felt an overwhelming sense of anger. She couldn’tcomprehend why her son was so obsessed with Martina.

Except for that face, everything else was simply worthless, not worthy of being seen by anyone.

No wonder Elizabeth always displayed such expressions. It turned out she was speaking from her truefeelings.

She called out to Martina several times without receiving a response, which made her feel extremelyannoyed. Even a fool could sense that Martina was deliberately ignoring her, let alone Elizabeth.

As a highly intelligent person, Elizabeth could easily figure out these things. It’s no wonder her reactionwas so intense; it was like talking to a brick wall.

No matter how hard she tried, the end result was always unsatisfactory because Martina simplycouldn’t understand what she meant.

“I’m talking to you. Didn’t you hear me?” Elizabeth wondered why Martina, who had never dared toconfront her like this before, now had an attitude of defiance and recklessness.

Did this woman go wild during her time outside? Had she gone mad to dare to behave like this?

Truly, appearances could be deceiving, and even Elizabeth couldn’t guarantee why Martina wasreacting this way. Perhaps it was because Elizabeth had been shouting around, ‘seriously affectingMartina’s rest.

Martina finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, “You were so noisy. If you had nothing important tosay, you should have just left and not bothered me.”

Elizabeth was instantly consumed by anger. Now that Benjamin was not at home, she didn’t need totolerate anymore. Instead, she directly exposed her true nature. Mocking remarks came one afteranother, as if there was some deep hatred between her and Martina!

“Martina, it seems you have been running wild outside, thinking you can do whatever you want. Lookclearly at who I am. If you continue with that attitude, then get out of this house!” she snapped.

Speaking of this, Martina finally managed to muster some interest.

With a gaze that was both innocent and helpless, she sat up and directly fixed it on Elizabeth.

“Do you think I don’t want that? If you truly don’t want to see me, either leave my room. right now, or goconvince your son to let me leave,” she said. “Don’t think that everyone can be bullied by you. At least Iwon’t be like before. If you can persuade your son, I’ll leave right now!”

Martina’s behavior truly left Elizabeth incredulous. Why did this woman undergo such a drastic changeafter going out for a while? It seemed she didn’t love Benjamin that much anymore.

Was this true? She was madly in love with Benjamin before, so why was she reacting this way now?

“Don’t think that having a pretty face means you can act recklessly,” Elizabeth said, clenched her fiststightly. “My son only brought you back out of respect for his grandfather, Jack. You really think highly ofyourself, Martina. Let me tell you, it’s best for you to give up. any thoughts of harming my son! OnceJack recovers, I will ask him to annul the marriage.

with your family. My son is so outstanding, he’s not someone you can be matched with!”

Martina finally understood what it truly meant to talk to a brick wall. Hadn’t she made

herself clear enough? It was not that she didn’t want to leave, but Benjamin didn’t give her theopportunity to leave.

“Mrs. Walker, if you can truly make all of this a reality, then I have to thank you,”

Martina said seriously, word by word. “But if you can’t, then stop spouting nonsense and

leave right now. Don’t make me say it a third time.”

Perhaps because the argument on the second floor was too loud, Leslie was eventually

drawn over. He had received instructions from his boss to protect Miss Martinez at all costs

and ensure her safety, no matter who tried to bully her, even if it was Elizabeth.

“Mrs. Walker, the boss instructed beforehand not to disturb Miss Martinez. Let her do whatever shewants,” Leslie suggested with a polite tone. “Could you please go downstairs. and rest? As long as youdon’t disturb Miss Martinez, the boss said you can do whatever you want.”

Elizabeth was speechless. She hadn’t expected her son to play along like this. What did he mean bydeliberately arranging Leslie at home?
