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

Chapter 96: This Wasn’t Her Home!
Adam’s gaze became alert, his fists clenched tightly, but he couldn’t do anything in front of Benjamin’s presence.

The current Benjamin was no longer the same as before. If he could hold a grudge against Adam for his past actions towards Martina, then he certainly could do so now.

“Martina, what exactly do you want?” Adam’s guarded demeanor made it seem like he could flee at any moment.

To be honest, Martina found it strange why Adam would suddenly be so afraid of her. No, that doesn’t sound right. To be precise, Adam should be afraid of Benjamin.

Well, in any case, it couldn’t be that he was afraid of her. But regardless of who he was afraid of, as long as he was really afraid, that would be enough.

“Adam, it seems like we’re destined to be enemies.” Martina said, with a somewhat spoiled and arrogant demeanor. “Remember when I mentioned that unforgettable slap? Well, it’s still vivid in my memory.”

Upon hearing these words, Adam’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Martina also wants to get physical!?

He tightened his fists even more and asked, “What do you want to do?” As he spoke, he kept glancing in Benjamin’s direction. He thought that they had an 18–year friendship after all. Could Benjamin really just stand by and do nothing?

Clearly, Adam had forgotten how heartless Benjamin was last night. Even if it was to let Martina vent her anger, he wouldn’t say an extra word today.

Elena observed the scene in silence. She had long been displeased with Adam, and if Martina could get some revenge today, that would be excellent!

The next moment, before anyone could react, Martina slapped Adam right across the face! Adam’s pupils constricted.

Even the woman behind him was shocked to the core. Perhaps she was calculating what kind of identity this woman had. Was she a wealthy young lady from a prominent family? How could she dare to treat Adam like this??

But Adam wasn’t playing around either. After all, he was still a man. His powerful hand instantly gripped Martina’s wrist.
