Fleeing the Gilded Cage: Don’t Want to be the Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 112

Chapter 112: Reason for the Sudden Visit Gary, in general, was not someone who could be easily dealt with, as he would always be praised and engaged in conversations wherever he went. But now, the situation had completely turned around.

Soon, even Gary had nothing more to say and simply had a contemplative look in his eyes as he glanced towards the entrance.

Benjamin absentmindedly tapped his index finger on the table, as if his patience was wearing thin.

Just as Benjamin’s patience was running out, two figures finally appeared at the entrance.

Since it was still early, many members of the Paloma family had yet to arrive, and currently, only Gary was present at this location.

Benjamin’s gaze shifted to the entrance, and there, as his peripheral vision caught, he noticed the arrival of Amy, the person he had been specifically anticipating. Standing beside Amy was her brother, Adam.

Adam felt incredibly uneasy the moment he saw Benjamin, like a mouse encountering a cat. He couldn’t even bring himself to meet Benjamin’s gaze, feeling as guilty as a child. caught by the principal for skipping school.

Fortunately, the swelling on Adam’s face had subsided. It was unclear what magical remedy he had used, but his skin condition appeared much better than before. Maybe because he hadn’t gone out for days and had been applying ice packs to his face multiple times a day, almost freezing his own face.

Amy couldn’t control her eyes when she saw Benjamin. Her gaze couldn’t help but fixate on him.

In fact, she too experienced love at first sight with Benjamin. It occurred during their early years, although her understanding of love was still limited at that time. But as she grew older, those feelings

becclearer to her.

Perhaps it was due to the obsession she had since childhood that Amy was willing to pay any price just to be with Benjamin.

Benjamin arrived in a hurry today, without even having the chance to change his clothes. However, even in this attire, he emanated an aura of elegance and refinement. It was probably an inherent quality in Benjamin, something that couldn’t be imitated by others.

Gary immediately spotted his beloved granddaughter with a profound look in his eyes. He couldn’t help but feel somewhat helpless. He could assist his granddaughter if she ly was involved with other things or people; however, when it cto Benjamin, he cou be an observer. He had no means to intervene whatsoever.

So even if his precious granddaughter was clearly infatuated with someone, he remained indifferent. After all, he knew he wasn’t a match for Benjamin.

Nevertheless, Gary still wanted to do his best to create opportunities for his beloved granddaughter.

“Amy, you cat the perfect time. Look, Benjamin is here. If I recall correctly, you two haven’t seen each other in a long time, at least a year, right?” Gary said this with intention, as many things couldn’t escape his observant eyes.

He had long been aware of the incident where Amy sacrificed her dignity to stay at Benjamin’s villa. How could this be their first meeting in such a long time?

However, Gary chose not to reveal what he saw through. He did so in order to give his Amy a slight chance, a chance to change the situation.

Adam was trembling in fear. The pain from being controlled by Benjamin during their previous encounter was still vivid in his memory. He didn’t dare to speak highly of him in any way.

“Excuse me, Grandfather.” Perhaps feeling displeased about being ignored, Adam had to make himself known.

Gary glanced at him indifferently and simply said, “You cearly too.”

The change in attitude was quite noticeable. He treated Amy with gentleness and thoughtfulness, while being indifferent towards his own grandson.

Adam was already used to this treatment. After all, he was the least favored grandson in the Paloma family.

Silently, Adam stood next to Gary, as if that was the only way he could feel a bit more reassured.

Amy’s face showed a hint of shyness, perhaps feeling embarrassed by Gary’s earlier words.

In reality, Gary didn’t say much. It was just that Amy’s mind had filled in too many unnecessary thoughts, imagining things that shouldn’t have been there.

“Grandpa,” she spoke in a tone of acting spoiled, “you’re teasingagain. There’s no way that Benjamin and I haven’t seen each other for that long. We’ve actually met in private.”

Gary continued to pretend to be surprised and interested, saying, “Oh, is that so? I had no idea about this as I am an old man now. It seems like it truly is fate.”

Sthings could only be hinted at and left unsaid. Perhaps noticing that Benjamin’s expression was becoming increasingly off and even unpleasant, Gary quickly changed the subject to avoid any unnecessary complications.

“By the way, Benjamin, I’m curious about the reason for your sudden visit today. If there’s anything you need, feel free to speak up. I’ll do my best to assist you,” Gary said.

Upon hearing Gary’s words, Simon twitched his mouth slightly. Sthings were probably beyond his ability to assist with.

He understood that his boss was not one to engage in unnecessary conversations, choosing to be concise and straightforward when speaking in the presence of others, except when it cto Miss Martinez.

So, at this moment, Simon, being particularly competent, took the initiative to explain the situation briefly on behalf of his boss, preventing these individuals from feigning ignorance.

Besides, the boss had already decided to resolve this matter completely, so Simon had no reason to dwell on it. If he offended‘ someone, so be it. The boss would stand by his side.

“Excuse me, Mr. Paloma,” Simon’s voice cout calmly from the side, but it couldn’t be ignored.

Gary turned his gaze towards Simon. Being aware of the importance of each individual, he would never intentionally undermine or belittle others.

“Yes?” Gary asked.

Simon calmly continued, “Mr. Paloma, the reason why my boss specifically cto your residence today is indeed for a small matter.”

Facing Simon’s straightforward words, everyone present paused for a moment. This time, it was Amy who felt guilty.

eyes

Amy’s right eyelid twitched uncontrollably, and she subconsciously rubbed her with her hands.

Did Benjamin really ctoday for something or someone?

Amy felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, but now that things had reached this point, she had no reason to retreat. Otherwise, the final outcwould only backfire, rendering all her previous efforts completely in vain.
