Chapter 304 Are You Getting Back at Me

The bustling city stood a row of century-old buildings with stylish designs and luxurious decorations.

Owning such a small mansion was a symbol of status. It was also perfect for Gredax's elite to host private banquets.

Ordinary people couldn't enter such private gatherings.

The newly affluent Jones family of Gredax wanted to establish connections with the Clark family. Still, Brianna wasn't enthusiastic about socializing, and Alexander was solely focused on taking care of his grandchildren. Therefore, the Jones family set their sights on Madelyn.

Although Madelyn had divorced Benjamin, everyone in Gredax knew about her importance to Alexander.

Madelyn went back and changed into a different outfit.

She wore a black gown with a palace-like style, exuding innocence along with a touch of sensuality. Her waist was as slender as a star's.

At the private banquet, Madelyn recognized most of the attendees.

Unexpectedly, the famous actress Kaylee was also present.

Madelyn nodded to her and then held a cocktail, engaging in conversation with the high society ladies.

She felt quite pleased.

After her divorce, she had two children to take care of, and it was rare for her to have such a relaxing time.

Outside the mansion, a black Rolls-Royce Cullinan was parked. Benjamin leaned against the car, smoking a cigarette.

Dressed in all black, he blended into the darkness of the night.

Only the gray smoke appeared and disappeared intermittently.

At midnight, Benjamin extinguished his cigarette and walked towards the mansion. The security guards recognized him and knew that he was the person their master wanted to get close to, so they quickly let him in.

Inside, it was opulent and lively.

There were celebrity models, countless socialites, and renowned violinists.

The atmosphere was upbeat!

Benjamin came from a wealthy background. He had attended such private banquets before and had long become accustomed to them. However, this didn't mean that he wasn't shocked when he saw Madelyn.

She leaned against a deep red sofa, playing poker with a few people.

Beside her was the recently popular heartthrob.

The star that ordinary girls looked up to was now looking at his wife with a tender gaze, almost trying to please her!

Madelyn probably won.

She leaned back on the sofa, smiling playfully.

The handsome boy handed her a glass of champagne, and Madelyn naturally accepted it.

Benjamin wore black clothes,

His expression was darker than his attire!

So, this was her private life! He had always thought that there were only affairs within and outside of marriage in Madelyn's world, all of which were related to him in the end! After the divorce, she devoted herself to taking care of their children.

He never expected her to be so carefree!

It was evident that 24-year-old boys loved her face and figure.

Mr. Clark, the most prestigious figure in Gredax, now seemed like a jealous husband catching his wife cheating, completely out of place in the surroundings!

Someone had already greeted him.

"Mr. Clark, are you here to have fun too?"

Madelyn looked up, her gaze meeting his.

She was somewhat surprised to see him here.

Benjamin took off his black trench coat and casually threw it on the sofa, sitting across from Madelyn.

He lowered his head and lit a cigarette. "Ms. Green's private life seems quite exciting!"

As soon as these words came out, others sensed the tension.

Mr. Clark was clearly jealous, but as someone of his status, he couldn't compete with an actor and could only take it out on his ex-wife.

Madelyn flicked her hair and smiled faintly, "Not bad!"

If he wanted to have fun here, she wouldn't stop him. Since they had divorced, they could be open and honest about it.

They played a few more rounds.

Benjamin had average luck, while Madelyn was doing fine. Occasionally, the young heartthrob would come over and give her some advice, not too intimate, but also not deliberately avoiding Benjamin.

It wasn't until now that he truly understood that Madelyn had divorced him cleanly and thoroughly.

The bit of nostalgia and reluctance she showed was for "Ben."

Her usual interactions with him were for the sake of their children.

In reality, she had no lingering attachment to him!

Before this, he still thought they could reconcile, but now it seemed it was just his wishful thinking!

Benjamin could take her away if he wanted, but they were both people of status and couldn't let others laugh at them.

They played until one in the morning before Madelyn seemed ready to leave.

Henry's car was not there.

Madelyn adjusted her coat and watched Benjamin drive the car over. She didn't refuse and got into his car.

She thought to herself that he must have something to say tonight.

For sure, he would be angry!

Despite his anger, Benjamin leaned over to open the car door for her, but his tone was chilly, "Get in!"

Madelyn sat in the passenger seat.

She slowly buckled her seatbelt and casually asked, "How did you get here?"

Benjamin lightly stepped on the gas pedal.

Instead of driving back to her villa, he drove all the way to the riverbank with the car window open and a salty, damp smell slowly seeping in.

The car suddenly came to a stop.

Benjamin held onto the steering wheel and looked at the dark night ahead, restraining his emotions as he asked, "Madelyn, are you trying to get back at me?" Madelyn didn't say anything.

He slowly turned around, his eyes a little red. "I've never betrayed our marriage!"

Madelyn opened the car door and got out.

It was pitch black outside, with only a faint white glow on the river's surface.

It was freezing at night, but Madelyn wanted to take a walk to clear her mind.

Benjamin still sat in the car, watching her back.

Suddenly, he got out of the car, grabbed her arm from behind, and gently pulled her into his embrace. "I've never seen you torment me like this before!"

His lips pressed against her hair, his voice hoarse. "Madelyn, don't go to these parties alone anymore! If you want to have fun, I'll accompany you!"

He couldn't stand her being admired by others, always wanting to get intimate with her.

Madelyn pushed him away gently.

The night wind tousled her hair, but she didn't seem to mind. She stood opposite him and said softly, "Benjamin, it's not about whether we love each other. I don't want to go through the torment of back-and- forth anymore! Honestly, I had a good time tonight!"

His gaze towards her was somewhat unfamiliar.

Madelyn turned around and looked at the river, "I know what you mean. You want to start over with me, but Benjamin, I'm no longer a young girl in my twenties. We got divorced when we had two children. We have to be in contact for the sake of our children, but we shouldn't interfere in each other's private lives."

Benjamin's hands were in his pockets.

There was a diamond ring inside that he had intended to give her.

His voice was soft, "What if I told you that you need a choice?"

Madelyn didn't answer.

Silence is the cruelest response.

After a long time, Benjamin smiled lightly, "Madelyn, I was deluding myself these past few days. It's late, let me take you back!"

He opened the car door for her on their way back.

He was courteous and refined.

During the ride, they didn't speak, only discussing their children briefly when they got out of the car.

Madelyn knew they had truly ended!

The night wind was fierce.

She stood in the night wind, watching him drive away.

Later on, he no longer bothered her.

Even when they met outside, he only nodded at her. They were just like any other divorced couple, treating each other politely and nothing more than that except for their children.
