The butler was completely stunned, never expecting that Martina would dare to directly call Benjamin! Benjamin was about to speak, but the next second the call was hung up. Martina, no longer willing to tolerate, asked, “What, is it that you’re not cold enough, or do you want me to send you out?”
The butler gave her a displeased look, then opened the door and left. Then, there was only Martina in the hall. She huddled on the sofa and couldn’t help but cry while hugging her knees.
Elena couldn’t bear it anymore. At first, she simply wanted to come over and listen to some gossip, but she didn’t expect her best friend to be bullied like this. Elena was furious and exclaimed, “Just look at yourself!
You’ve allowed a mere guard dog to bully you all these years!” She listened to the whole story and now she just wanted to kill someone! However, Martina was still crying and Elena was both angry and heartbroken. She could only hug her tightly and ask, “Why have you never told me about these things?”
To outsiders, Martina was definitely lucky enough. Even if Benjamin didn’t love her, he had at least accepted her. The fact that she was his fiancée alone was enough to make many people jealous to the point of going crazy.
However, who understood the grievances that Martina suffered as a result? Martina looked up with teary eyes and asked, “Is it still possible for me to turn back now?” Elena hugged her tighter, consoling her, “Of course it is. We can forget about that bastard right away!” In the following days, no one from the Walker family came to bother them.
It’s understandable by just thinking about it. The Walker family had always been a highly respected and prestigious family, always being praised and held in high esteem by others.
Even though Martina had the title of Benjamin’s fiancée, it’s just an empty name without substance. Especially after she chased Benjamin for so long, everyone in the industry knew that the Walker family didn’t treat her well.
With the rich family no longer disturbing her, Martina enjoyed her peace. These days, Martina went to work at the studio every day, which really surprised Elena. Elena poked Martina’s forehead unkindly and said, “If you had this realization a few years ago, you probably wouldn’t have messed yourself up like this.
” Martina raised her exquisitely beautiful eyebrows and asked, “What do I look like now?” Elena took out her phone and showed her Snapchat group, and said, “Look, see how those people outside are discussing you.” Martina took her eyes off her work computer and glanced at the contents on her phone. She found that they were discussing her in the group.
“According to reliable sources, Martinez was really kicked out by the wealthy family this time!” “Rolling eyes memes” “I guess she still wants to pretend to run away from home like before and then come back. Unfortunately, she has done it many times, why hasn’t she learned her lesson yet?” “But I heard that she made a big fuss about this matter. Benjamin’s mother scolded her severely in front of many people!” “Uh-oh, no wonder she wants to leave.
It turns out that she has no face?” “Smirk memes” “But I also heard that Benjamin is coming back soon. It seems that she has a clear purpose for making a scene like this.” “I think so too.
she must want to force a marriage!” At this point, Martina’s gaze slowly moved away from the phone, and her face showed no emotions. Instead, she continued to draw leisurely. Elena, on the other hand, appeared anything but calm, immediately firing back with full force.
Growing up with a group of brothers had made her quite accustomed to using coarse language, and she had the ability to make anyone sound mild in comparison if she wanted to. Martina chuckled as she filled up a glass of water. “Calm down, I’m not mad. Why are you getting so worked up?” Elena realized that Martina was not angry at all, and felt that she could no longer understand what she was thinking.
She couldn’t help but ask worriedly, “You’re not really planning to force a marriage, are you?” Martina didn’t answer and instead asked, “What do you think?” Elena thought about it seriously for a long time and said, “I don’t think it’s completely impossible.” Martina laughed coldly instantly.
This cold laugh helped clear Elena’s mind, and she couldn’t resist asking, “My dear troublemaker, do you want to prove them wrong and make them feel ashamed?” Martina was intrigued and asked, “Prove them wrong about what?” In just a few seconds, countless scenes from TV dramas flashed through Elena’s mind. “Since these people all say that you were abandoned by Benjamin, if you could take advantage of this opportunity and find a boyfriend who is even more handsome and charming than Benjamin…” She said. Just the thought of it was thrilling.
“That would really be a fierce battlefield!” But Martina didn’t agree, and instead poured cold water on her idea, “If a boyfriend really appeared by my side and Benjamin found out, do you think I would die faster, or he would?” This remark instantly dispelled Elena’s thoughts. Yes, if Benjamin found out that she had been hoodwinked by Martina while abroad — Elena couldn’t help but shiver and suddenly thought of something that happened when they were in college. At that time, Martina had been maliciously stalked by one of her pursuers, and it was said that Benjamin had broken several of that person’s ribs.
Elena said grimly, “Maybe…we’ll both end up dead?” Martina nodded, “As long as you understand. Why should I provoke others when I don’t need to?” Martina knew very well that if she didn’t do anything, the break-up would be clean and final. Besides, she had insulted the butler that day, and she could feel that Benjamin’s disgust towards her had deepened.
Today Martina stayed late at the company to finish the last drawing that day. Fortunately, her studio wasn’t far from her home, just two subway stops away. Since leaving the Walker family, Martina hadn’t driven a car.
If others found out about this, it would likely elicit their sympathy. After all, Martina was known as a gold digger among those people. When she moved out, she didn’t take anything except the clothes she had brought with her. Even the gifts that Benjamin had previously sent, Martina didn’t bring any of them and left them all there.
When she came six years ago, she was the same as when she left, without bringing anything with her. The only thing that she brought was the memories of her relationship with Benjamin. Upon reflection, she realized that she had nothing in these years.
Speaking of the relationship between her and Benjamin, it wasn’t always bad from the beginning. When Benjamin had just turned 18 and had just started to get involved in the family business, his temper was particularly bad. Compared to his mature, stable, and cold demeanor today, he was like a completely different person.
