Chapter 126: Sooner or Later, He Will Get Tired
If it weren’t for the fact that Elizabeth still needed Benjamin as her reliance, she might have lost his patience and wanted to break ties with him a long time. ago.
She was trembling with anger, as if she could faint at any moment. She really couldn’t understand why things had turned out like this. Clearly, she and her son should be the closest, shouldn’t they?
In the next moment, Elizabeth sensed that something was amiss. Wait, what would they do together later?
It would be understandable if it was her son who had something to do since he had to
go on a business trip and was busy with work, but what did it have to do with Martina?
With these thoughts in mind, Elizabeth decided to ask aloud, “Son, what do you mean
by that? Aren’t you going on a business trip? Are you planning to take Martina with you?!”
Elizabeth could clearly feel that her voice had become sharper, and she still couldn’t believe
it. Benjamin raised his eyelids lightly and said, “Yes.”
Elizabeth immediately felt uneasy. “How could this be? Martina doesn’t understand a
thing about your business. What if she ends up hindering your work?” Elizabeth couldn’t help but say a few words.
“Please rest assured. Miss Martinez at least graduated from the same university as the
boss’s. She is also very capable,” Simon interjected.
“Still, it’s not acceptable. Martina going with you is simply causing trouble!” Elizabeth
persisted. “Martina, I know you’re clingy, but I didn’t expect you to be this clingy. Do you Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
think it’s appropriate?”
Martina remained silent throughout. Actually, she hadn’t said anything at all. It was
Elizabeth who had been extrapolating and making assumptions all along.
In the end, Martina realized that Elizabeth simply couldn’t stand to see her doing well.
“For any complaints, please tell your son, not me,” Martina said, calmly. “Or you can have your son let me go, and I’d be more than happy!”
Benjamin’s face immediately turned cold, emanating a strong sense of chill and threat!
However, his coldness wasn’t directed towards Martina, but towards Elizabeth!
Benjamin’s intentions were obvious. He had put in a lot of effort to bring himself closer to Martina, even if it was just a little bit.
But now, with Elizabeth’s words, everything seemed to revert back to how it was before.
How could Benjamin feel at ease about this? The only reason he hadn’t confronted her directly was because she was his mother, otherwise the consequences would be dire dire

“That’s enough,” Benjamin spoke coldly, not even willing to spare another glance at Elizabeth. “Butler, bring my mother back to her room.”
The butler opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say, wondering if Benjamin’s actions were a bit inappropriate. After all, Elizabeth was still his mother, and yet she was being treated like this. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe!
But, in the end, this was Benjamin’s decision, and as the butler, it was not his place to refute.
Elizabeth frowned, “Alright… Alright… You’re such a good son…”
Back in her room, she swept everything off her vanity table onto the floor. There was a
constant crashing sound, but it couldn’t alleviate the turmoil in her heart.
The butler silently watched this scene, feeling helpless and sympathetic towards Elizabeth. “Mrs. Walker, you should try not to get angry. It’s not good for your health, and
there’s no one to…”
The butler was indeed very competent when it came to taking care of Elizabeth. It
seemed like he was completely devoted to her, often doing many things behind the scenes
that went unnoticed.
For example, he treated Martina with extreme unfriendliness and even bullied her in
secret.
Furthermore, he pressured Martina in a passive–aggressive manner to do things she
didn’t want to do.
Every time Martina was wronged, she would still end up apologizing to others. In reality.
this had a lot to do with the butler.
Elizabeth angrily slapped the table, “I’m his mother, and how could he treat me like this?
How did I end up like this? Can you tell me?”
The butler’s gaze showed a slight change, but he remained standing upright,
maintaining a very standard posture.
Being a senior figure with three generations of service in the Walker family, it was no
wonder that he stood with impeccable posture.
“Please don’t be angry. The Mr. Benjamin Walker’s behavior towards Miss Martinez is likely driven by guilt towards her. That’s why he’s treating her differently than before,” the Butler explained. “But guilt is something that can’t be preserved for long. He hasn’t changed, and he will never change because of a woman.”
Elizabeth’s complexion improved slightly. “Are you telling the truth?”
The butler nodded firmly. “Of course. Please rest assured that Mr. Benjamin Walker will
get tired of Miss Martinez sooner or later.”
With this thought in mind, Elizabeth’s expression improved even more, and even
anger inside her dissipated to some extent.
“I hope so. That woman is just a burden, she doesn’t bring any benefits to my son
being by his side!” she exclaimed. “Look at how my son has changed recently, contradicting
his own mother for a woman?!”
“What’s even worse is that he’s willing to sacrifice such an important job for a woman.
While it might be tolerated once or twice, if this pattern continues in the long run, it’s bound to generate dissatisfaction among the company’s top management,” she exclaimed angrily.
Elizabeth believed that everything she did was for the sake of Benjamin, but she never considered that some problems were also caused by her own actions.
The butler continued to comfort Elizabeth, as if he had endless patience.
After dinner, Benjamin looked at Martina hesitantly, perhaps realizing that his mother’s way of speaking earlier was indeed inappropriate. But there was nothing he could do.
Elizabeth had gone through a lot of hardship to give birth to Benjamin, and it wasn’t easy. She had also suffered a lot here.
Although the bond between them was not particularly strong, the mother–son relationship was not something that could be easily severed.
Benjamin’s character was always reserved, and he held the utmost respect for his grandfather. If it weren’t for his grandfather’s protection, he might not have been able to survive until now.
While Elizabeth was Benjamin’s biological mother, it was his grandfather who provided him with true nurturing and care.
Simon loaded Martina’s luggage into the trunk and then went to the driver’s seat, getting ready to drive. Benjamin and Martina sat together in the back seats. They were prepared to leave for the airport early.
During this time, Martina sent a message to Elena, “Boss, could you please grant me some time off?”
In a playful tone, Elena swiftly responded, “Why do you suddenly need time off? Are you giving up being a boss?” She even added a gossip emoji at the end.
Martina chuckled, “No, I’m going on a business trip with Benjamin. I’ll be back in about 5 days. If there’s any work during these days, you can send it to me. I brought my laptop.”
