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

Chapter 113

Chapter 113: The Future Wife Gary continued to inquire, “Is that so? I wonder what this matter is about. You may speak freely.”

Simon’s gaze slowly shifted from each person present, eventually landing on Amy, clearly implying something.

“This matter is actually related to Miss Amy and my boss’s future wife,” Simon revealed.

Upon hearing the title “future wife,” the ice in Benjamin’s eyes seemed to melt away in an instant. The ice was replaced by a long–lost tranquility and tenderness. The fact that just a title could evoke such a reaction from Benjamin indicated the depth of his emotions.

He cared most about Martina, and that was why he went to such lengths to carry out these actions, even if they were unappreciated.

However, as soon as this title was mentioned, the expressions of everyone present changed. Their reactions showed a lack of composure, even a face of horror. They couldn’t fathom why things had turned out this way.

Future wife? They had never heard of Benjamin having any future wife, nor had he been engaged with anyone.

Especially Gary, whose expression couldn’t be any more grim. Wasn’t the implication clear enough? Even when his beloved granddaughter had already spoken those words, why would Benjamin’s assistant still say something like that?

Gary, in an attempt to salvage the situation, asked reluctantly, “If I recall correctly, your name is Simon, right? We have never heard of Benjamin being engaged to any other woman.”

The current implication was still crystal clear: they simply didn’t believe it. They even thought Simon was deliberately causing trouble.

Amy’s eyes immediately turned red, as if she had really guessed why Benjamin had come today. However, regardless of the situation, she was not one to reveal herself easily. She thought that there was no possibility of her exposing the truth. The matter itself had little to do with her.

If she were to expose herself so easily, wouldn’t that be foolish? After all, she was raised in the wealthy and esteemed Paloma family which had good education. How could she be so easily foolish? Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Benjamin,” Amy’s eyes were teary, resembling a frightened little rabbit, evoking a sense of pity in those who saw her, except for Benjamin, of course.

Adam had originally developed a psychological shadow towards Benjamin, but now he could only step forward. After all, the person involved was his younger sister.

Even if Adam was nothing in the eyes of others, his love for his sister was genuine.

“Mr. Walker,” Adam struggled to call out the name.

Benjamin glanced at him indifferently, his eyes already filled with disdain and dissatisfaction. “What is it?”

“While I don’t comprehend the purpose of your visit to seek Amy, I trust that you, as someone who has been part of her upbringing, will handle the situation with discretion and not subject her to unnecessary embarrassment,” Adam said, without mentioning that Amy loved Benjamin so deeply.

If Benjamin truly hurt Amy’s heart, it would be devastating. Amy wouldn’t be able to bear it. However, what did any of this have to do with Benjamin? He only cared about Martina, and that was it.

If the people present didn’t understand who the so–called future wife mentioned by Simon was, Simon himself must have already known beyond doubt.

Benjamin didn’t even spare a glance for Adam.

However, Simon took a more straightforward approach and pulled out his phone, which had a video playback. “Regarding why my boss came here, I believe you’ll understand after watching this video.”

In the video, it was clear that Amy and Rick had a seemingly pleasant conversation. Not only that, but they also exchanged Snapchat contacts. After a short while, Rick found a muscular man in a corner, thinking that no one was watching.

Then, the incident that many people witnessed occurred. In the end, Martina was drugged, and if it weren’t for Benjamin arriving in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Clearly, all of this trouble was caused by Rick himself, and he even brought a muscular man to do something illegal to Martina.

Amy’s pupils contracted suddenly, and her worst fears had come true. But even so, she still tried her best to stabilize her emotions.

“Simon, I don’t quite understand what you mean. What’s so interesting about this video?” Amy inquired, attempting to maintain her composure. “Yes, I know that Miss Martinez seemed to have encountered some trouble at the Rodriguez family last night, but there’s no way this could have anything to do with me, right?”

Amy anxiously hid behind Adam, saying, “Adam, this really has nothing to do with me.

It’s all a misunderstanding.”

Adam immediately chose to believe his sister and even thought that Benjamin had gone. too far this time. “Simon, what are you doing? Are you threatening my sister? She is not in good health, so you better not push it too far!”

“You’re overthinking it. I have no intention of threatening Miss Paloma. I simply want to seek the truth.” Simon smiled in a peculiar way, and at first glance, his expression was somewhat similar to Benjamin’s. Indeed, he had been an assistant by Benjamin’s side for a long time. “Since Miss Paloma insists that this matter has nothing to do with her, then I wonder what she talked about with Rick Timber last night?”

Perhaps everyone present had forgotten that Benjamin never liked asking others. questions with doubt. Every time he asked someone a question, he already had concrete. evidence. He just wanted to hear what Amy would say today.

Amy hesitated for a while before saying, “R- Rick? Are you talking about the young master of the Timber family?”

“I did exchange a few words with him last night, but our conversation was rather brief as he was the one who approached me.”

“As for adding each other on Snapchat, it was a forced situation. Rick Timber’s emotions seemed off at the time, and he even tried to threaten me.”

“For self–preservation, I had to add him, but I deleted him immediately afterward. If don’t believe me, you can check my phone!”

Amy’s words sounded so genuine that everyone almost believed her. However, Simon didn’t trust her. Whether it was her facial expressions or subtle gestures, they were enough to reveal the truth.

“Are you sure? Could there be something unsavory between Miss Paloma and Rick Timber?”
