Fleeing the Gilded Cage: Don’t Want to be the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Was There a Problem? 
Anxiously, Amy had the makeup artist do some finishing touches and quickly went out. 
Regardless, this was one of the few times Benjamin took the initiative to come to the 
Paloma family, so Amy definitely had to personally greet him. 
Adam had just arrived here when he heard the news of Benjamin’s visit. 
For some reason, he always vaguely felt that something was off, but couldn’t pinpoint 
exactly what was wrong. 
well. 
The twitching of his right eyelid was uncontrollable, causing his inner tension to rise as 
“What did you say? Benjamin really, came? Why is he here? Isn’t today the Paloma 
family’s banquet? Why would he come at this time?” Countless questions filled his mind, but 
he couldn’t find a real way to answer them, making him even more puzzled. 
Given Benjamin’s personality, it was absolutely impossible for him to come at this time, 
unless he had a purpose. 
The moment Adam thought of this possibility, he turned uneasy. Could it be that 
Benjamin came specifically for him? 
If Benjamin got angry again today and wanted to publicly slap him, it would be like killing Adam. 
Adam had already endured such a shame once, and he absolutely didn’t want to go 
through it again. 
He even contemplated the notion of immediately fleeing, as it would, at the very least, 
preserve his sense of self–respect. 
The servant explained, “Yes, Mr. Paloma, Mr. Walker indeed arrived with his assistant. 
and is currently waiting in the front hall. Would you like to go there now?” 
Naturally, Adam refused a thousand times in his mind. Just the thought of his past. 
experiences made him feel uncomfortable all over, and he couldn’t care less about their 
previous relationship, whether it was good or not. 
Even though Adam had known Benjamin for 18 years, wasn’t it all because of a woman that he had been slapped so many times? 
Even though deep down he knew that he had brought most of those slaps upon himself, it still felt unfair because it was all because of Benjamin. Adam felt a strong sense 
of imbalance. 
“Do you know why he came here? Answer my most important question!” Adam 
snapped. 
“I don’t know,” The servant shook his head. “I have no idea about Mr. Walker’s 
intentions. Maybe you can go and see for yourself.” He was just a worker earning wages in 
Chapter 111: Was There a Problem? 
“I don’t know,” The servant shook his head. “I have no idea about Mr. Walker’s 
intentions. Maybe you can go and see for yourself.” He was just a worker earning wages in 
this villa. How could he possibly know so much? 
Just as Adam was seriously considering running away even if it meant getting beaten 
up, he coincidentally ran into Amy, who had hurriedly arrived. 
Amy’s eyes lit up the moment she saw her elder brother. 
“Adam, you came at just the right time! I heard that Benjamin also came. Let’s go over 
there quickly,” Amy exclaimed. 
Amy had no knowledge of what had transpired between Adam and Benjamin before. Similarly, Adam had no knowledge of the events involving Amy and Benjamin. The siblings had an unspoken agreement not to discuss those matters with each other. Thus, both of them suspected that Benjamin’s current visit held hidden intentions, but they remained uncertain about the exact nature of those intentions. 
Adam suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, but after all, Amy was his beloved 
sister. 
Even though he felt a bit apprehensive deep down, he had to agree in order to maintain his dignity in front of his sister. 
“I’ve heard it, too. Since it’s such a coincidence, let’s go together,” Adam decided. 
Amy sweetly smiled and took the initiative to link her arm with Adam’s as they walked 
forward. 
She appeared like a child who hadn’t grown up yet, clearly someone who had been spoiled. However, her spoiled behavior in front of others was also very genuine, indicating that she had two sides to her personality. 
Perhaps even the members of the Paloma family didn’t know what Amy was like what Amy was like outside, or maybe they turned a blind eye to it. Because Amy was, after all, the most beloved little girl of the Paloma family. Even if she did something disrespectful, it would surely be tolerated. 
In the front hall at this moment, Benjamin had already been personally greeted and seated by Adam’s grandfather, Gary Paloma. 
Due to Benjamin’s undeniable influence, even Gary had to show respect towards him. Benjamin, with his few years of experience, had managed to lead his company to a position that was unshakable by anyone. 
This was the dream and the utmost fear of many people. Even the once powerful Gary of the Paloma family could only admire him. 
To be honest, Gary really had hoped that Benjamin could be with his beloved granddaughter. However, he was also shrewd, He could discern that Benjamin didn’t 
-10% 
any particular affection towards his granddaughter, not even the usual sibling bond often 
seen in childhood. 
Maybe because Amy spent most of her time when she was a kid either in the hospital or in a secluded and warm place far away from the city. She hadn’t spent a lot of time 
together with Benjamin. 
It was only later, as Amy’s health gradually stabilized, that there was finally an 
opportunity for them to stay in the city together. Otherwise, she would never have been able to stay here for such a long time without anyone stopping her. 
Recently, the chances of Amy falling ill had decreased significantly, indicating that her 
health had truly stabilized. 
Gary had someone prepare a cup of tea for Benjamin, and his words carried a hint of trying to win him over. 
“Benjamin, it’s been a long time since we last met,” Gary said. Despite being an elder, he didn’t require any formalities. 
Benjamin’s expression remained indifferent. He only offered brief, perfunctory responses to Gary, such as a few murmurs of “right,” ” Yes,” solely out of courtesy. Other than that, he didn’t utter any unnecessary words. 
Simon knew that the boss only acted differently in front of Miss Martinez. 
As for most of the time, there would be no difference from before, and it wouldn’t give anyone a special altitude. 
Even Mr. Gary Paloma, standing before him, was no exception. Without the positive history between Mr. Gary Paloma and Mr. Antonio Martinez, and if Gary’s wife and Elizabeth didn’t have a strong bond, it was possible that the boss wouldn’t have shown any inclination. to acknowledge them in the slightest. 
Since respect was something that must be earned, the approach Amy took was ultimately detrimental to herself. 
Gary also clearly noticed that Benjamin’s demeanor this time was even colder than 
before. 
If Benjamin came here uninvited today, could it mean that something had happened or someone had offended him? 
Truly, Gary was an old fox of many years, and he quickly figured out the problem with just a little thought. However, he didn’t expose anything on the surface and remained calm
