Chapter 165: Felt Frightened After the Event
Amidst the commotion from the crowd, Martina finally managed to stand up from the ground. Her eyes immediately fell upon the god–like figure of Benjamin. No matter when or where, this man seemed to effortlessly stand there like he owned the place. His presence was like a reassuring anchor, quelling any fear in people’s hearts.
Meanwhile, Leslie was on the verge of tears. When had he ever felt so humiliated?
Perhaps it was because of the recent struggle with Elena that he was off his game, and it almost led to Miss Martinez being taken away. Leslie felt deeply ashamed, and now, when he retaliated, he did so with a particular cruelty.
With these people already showing no mercy, did Leslie need to show any kindness?
Sorry, he didn’t have such a good heart.
In the midst of everyone’s watchful eyes, Martina saw Benjamin, the god–like figure, approaching her step by step. She couldn’t express her exact emotions, but she felt a profound sense of relief.
She managed to utter the man’s name, “Benjamin.”
Elena was already scared and in tears. It wasn’t that she lacked courage, but she suddenly realized that this whole situation seemed to be caused by her again. She regretted showing up at the bar in the first place, but now it was too late for regrets. The incident had already happened, and what she needed to do now was figure out how to resolve it, not wallow in self–blame.
Luckily, Benjamin arrived just in time, preventing that man from forcibly taking Martinal away. However, even so, his presence was so overwhelming that it felt like he could kill someone with his aura alone.
He gave a cold glance at those who still seemed inclined to act, and then with the perfect coordination of Simon and Leslie, they subdued all those individuals.
Moreover, Simon took the opportunity to call the police, and they just needed to wait for them to arrive.
Simon was feeling incredibly relieved at this moment. Fortunately, they came in time. If anything had happened to Miss Martinez, this bar would probably have been completely wiped out.
Simon didn’t know why these people were seeking their own demise. Even if they wanted to flirt with other women, that would have been fine. Why did they have to target Miss Martinez? They should first evaluate themselves.
Benjamin held Martina in his arms and carefully examined her from head to toe, making sure she wasn’t injured. Her face had only a little dirt on it, which finally eased his to some extent.
But even so, he still acted a bit excessively, deliberately asking, “Are you hurt anywhere?”
His voice was very magnetic, carrying a kind of charm that made people want to listen to him over and over again.
Martina looked at him with adoration and shook her head. In that moment, she forgot to resist because Benjamin had once again saved her.
Benjamin gently rubbed her forehead and said, “Good.”
If it were before, encountering such a situation would have definitely angered Benjamin, and he would have sought revenge immediately. But now, he managed to control his temper, even though he knew Martina’s actions were wrong and could easily put herself in danger.
Anyway, the most important thing was not to make Martina feel scared or misunderstand him.
Recently, there had been a lot of visible changes in Benjamin’s behavior. However, no matter how much he changed, he couldn’t just let others bully his woman like this.
Regarding the fate of these people, even if it wasn’t explicitly stated now, it was clear to see.
Elena was so frightened that she couldn’t even breathe properly, like a child who had done something wrong, keeping her head down and staring at her toes, standing helplessly on the side.
But when she thought about this matter and how Benjamin already knew, she worried that he might even blame Martina for it. So, she mustered up the courage to speak again, “I’m sorry, Benjamin. It’s my fault. Martina didn’t want to come to the bar, I convinced her to join. Please don’t blame her; you can blame me instead.”
Benjamin didn’t speak, his legs lazily crossed, and he tightly held his beloved woman in his arms.
Elena’s greatest relief was that Martina was safe; otherwise, the consequences wouldn’t be something she could bear. Even with her status here, she knew she couldn’t escape punishment, as Benjamin was not one to show favoritism.
Benjamin would only do things that people couldn’t understand, but now, only in front of Martina, he seemed like a normal person. Maybe it was out of consideration for Martina, or perhaps due to the presence of many visitors, Benjamin refrained from publicly blaming Elena.
He just lazily glanced at Elena and said, “Don’t let this happen again. If there’s a next time, I’ll inform your brother right away.”
Elena felt as if she were facing a formidable foe, but luckily, Benjamin didn’t take further action this time. To be honest, she even felt a bit grateful. She had thought from the beginning, Benjamin would directly report her to her brother, but unexpectedly, he gave her a chance.
Martina also felt lingering fear, but fortunately, the situation had changed now, and she could finally feel at ease.
The onlookers were all puzzled, observing Benjamin’s demeanor, and their minds started to speculate. They were curious about Benjamin’s real identity, how he managed to handle everything so effortlessly, and why he was surrounded by so many gorgeous women.
Benjamin gently rubbed Martina’s hand, as if it was the only way to soothe his nerves.
Martina tried to maintain her composure, and she took the initiative to ask, “By the way, why are you here?”
The situation just now was too abrupt, and Martina hadn’t even had a chance to send a message to anyone. It should have been something Benjamin wouldn’t have known, yet he was here. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
It was all thanks to Benjamin previously having someone install a tracking device in Martina’s phone. When he sent her two messages without any response, he knew she must have gone out.
It wasn’t a big deal initially, as it was something Benjamin had already agreed to and allowed Martina to go out. However, she hadn’t responded at all, which was obviously abnormal.
