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

Chapter 119: Does He Like You?
Elena first glanced around mysteriously, making sure no one else was eavesdropping. After taking a deep breath, she finally mustered up the courage to speak, “Actually, what I wanted to say is, do you remember the day when Adam Paloma showed up with a swollen face?”

“Of course, I remember. It was obvious that someone had beaten him up. How could I forget?” Martina nodded, her smile deepening on her face.

“I found out about this from some insider information. It is said that the reason behind the swollen face is actually related to Benjamin.” Elena said mysteriously. “At first, I didn’t believed it. But then I thought about it carefully. That day, Adam Paloma didn’t dare to approach Benjamin proactively. Instead, he seemed like a mouse seeing a cat. That’s clearly abnormal, so I thought it could be true.”

Upon hearing Elena’s words, Martina realized that something was amiss.

According to Elena’s information, on a certain evening, Benjamin specifically arranged to meet Adam. Adam, thinking it was for a night of revelry, eagerly followed along, afraid of being left behind.

He didn’t know that Benjamin executed a bold move, leaving Adam’s face swollen like a balloon. The key point was that Adam could only silently endure the humiliation, remaining in a sorry state until the early morning before leaving with a swollen face.

The only person capable of such an act was Benjamin himself, who could make Adam willingly subject himself to such treatment, even refraining from uttering a word afterwards.

Martina had many doubts and said, “Why would Benjamin do such a thing? After all, he has known Adam Paloma for more than a decade or two.”

According to Benjamin’s character, it was absolutely unthinkable for him to do something like this. It was simply absurd.

However, Elena hadn’t finished speaking yet. She blinked her eyes and said, “I actually think Benjamin did it because of you.”

“Do you remember what you told me before, about Adam Paloma slapping you on the face when you left Benjamin’s villa? Later, when you went missing, Benjamin came to see me once, and I got angry and spilled the beans about it!”

“I reckoned Benjamin was standing up for you and retaliating on your behalf. That’s the only way to make sense of it. But why would Benjamin suddenly do something like this?” As Elena spoke, she grew more and more passionate, as if she were an investigator, presenting everything so convincingly.

Other why would he go to such lengths without gaining any favor? He even made the drast choice of severing ties with his friend for you. That’s something that would never have. happened
