Chapter 186 Only He Can Make Her Cry!

Chapter 186 Only He Can Make Her Cry!

As Madelyn was about to leave, she ran into Benjamin at the elevator entrance. He was holding a file,

looking like he was there for a business discussion.

Benjamin walked out of the elevator while Madelyn stepped in.

He stopped the elevator doors from closing with his hand.

It had been a while since they last saw each other, and he missed her so much. But in the end, he just

pretended to be calm and asked, "How have you been lately?"

Madelyn was leaning against the elevator wall.

Madelyn felt she was too weak to say anything as their eyes met. After a moment, she softly replied,

"Not bad."

Benjamin was gazing at her. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

In a husky voice, he spoke, "I'll be attending the celebration banquet tonight. Are you...going to dance

with David?"

Madelyn paused.

In fact, she hadn't invited David, and she wasn't his date. However, if David were to show up, dancing

with him was also part of normal social interaction.

Madelyn chose not to deny it.

Benjamin just kept smiling and didn't show any signs of displeasure. Instead, he said affectionately,

"Have a great time!"

After saying that, he left.

Madelyn felt a shiver down her spine.

Somehow she thought Benjamin, who appeared so composed, was even more formidable than when

he was persistently pursuing her. The way he looked at her indicated that he hadn't given up, but he

pretended he didn't care about it at all.

She almost didn't want to attend the banquet.

However, as one of the ten outstanding young persons, she had already attracted attention earlier in

the day. The influential figures in Gredax wouldn't let her skip the banquet. With just a few phone calls.

She had to show up anyway.

...

The banquet took place on the 32nd floor of the Diamond Hotel.

Prominent figures who were dressed formally and elegantly filled the room.

It was a good opportunity to expand her social network, and Madelyn wouldn't give it up for personal

reasons. Holding a glass of champagne, she socialized with other guests.

Vivian was also here with Grayson and asked him to introduce Madelyn to several connections.

Madelyn was confident and had easy manners.

She had to ignore the gaze on her from the second floor...

Benjamin stood on the balcony of the banquet hall, dressed in a suit and tie. Leaning against the

railing, he quietly stared at Madelyn, though the emotions in his eyes were so strong that even Vivian

could tell he was in love with her.

She leaned in close to Madelyn and whispered in her ear, "Just by the way he looks, it seems like he

hasn't been with anyone since you two broke up. He couldn't take his eyes off you."

Madelyn didn't need to look at him.

When they were together, Benjamin had an insatiable desire for her. He often looked at her with that

longing gaze. With his handsome appearance and charm, few women could resist him.

Many socialites were peeking at him...

A lot of women in Gredax secretly fantasized about sleeping with Mr. Clark.

But Madelyn had no interest in that. She ignored his gaze, acting as if he weren't there.

Instead, she accepted the invitations of other gentlemen and danced with them. She made a deliberate

effort to draw a line between her and Benjamin and let everyone know that she had nothing to do with

the Clark family.

During the latter part of the banquet, David came to her.

Lately, David had been busy, and it had been a week since he had been around her.

As David walked over, he looked over to the second floor.

Benjamin gracefully raised his champagne glass to David!

His captivating demeanor made the hearts of the women in the room skip a beat. Vivian whispered to

Madelyn, "Aside from being a total jerk, he's ridiculously good-looking. Actually, everyone in their circle

is quite attractive, but none of them could compare with Benjamin!"

Madelyn coughed and said, "Should I tell Grayson about this?"

Vivian quickly pleaded for mercy.

Just then, David was standing in front of her and extended his invitation to Madelyn, "Ms. Green, may I

have the honor?"

Vivian covered her face with her hands.

Damn! When David was serious, he looked really charming!

Madelyn smiled, placed her hand in David's, and accepted his invitation.

She knew Benjamin was watching, and she knew he was probably seething with anger. But she didn't

want to change who she was for him.

When Madelyn danced with David, they attracted everyone's attention.

They looked at these two hugging on the dance floor and then turned to look at Mr. Clark.

How dramatic!

Would Mr. Clark fight with David and take Ms. Green away?

The city of Gredax was witnessing it...

When everyone was watching excitedly, Benjamin walked down stairs covered in white carpet. He was

mature and handsome, literally looking like a walking statue.

Benjamin approached the piano and whispered a few words to the young pianist who then stepped

aside.

He sat in front of the piano, placed his slender fingers on the black and white keys, and skillfully played

the enchanting melody of Lost Lover.

It was Madelyn's favorite song!

As Benjamin played, his eyes, filled with deep affection, were fixed on Madelyn.

He was already good-looking...

His playing the piano even made women scream in admiration!

His ex-girlfriend was dancing with someone else while he was accompanying her on the piano and

gazing at her with loving eyes, which no women could resist...Benjamin had captured the hearts of all

the women present!

Just as he said, he effortlessly got whatever he wanted!

Madelyn felt herself growing tense...

She couldn't continue dancing!

What should have been a nice evening, a delightful banquet, was ruined by him!

Why did Benjamin always make her cry?

Why... did no one else but him have the power to do this?

Tears shimmered in Madelyn's eyes when she realized that.

And there he sat in front of the piano, the starter of all this, still gazing at her tenderly. He asked gently,

"Madelyn, are you having a good time tonight?"

Madelyn's heart raced in her chest.

She told herself not to lose control. She couldn't... let herself cry before so many people!

Trembling, she mustered a smile and replied, "If Mr. Clark would kindly stop bothering me, I believe I

would be even happier!"

Benjamin lowered his gaze and gave a light smile.

"I can't do it! Madelyn, seeing you dance with someone else made me angry! But I didn't know what to

do, so I played the piano for you. I wanted to see you smile! Did I upset you? If you're not happy, I can

change. I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy."

His seemingly considerate words left everyone astonished!

Vivian pinched her thigh, feeling sorry for Madelyn!

How did her friend end up with such a difficult man? He was so scheming, wasn't he?

If they didn't know any better, they would think Madelyn had betrayed Benjamin!

Madelyn turned away and left.

At that moment, she forgot everything and forgot they were on the live broadcast. All she wanted was

to escape from Benjamin!

As she walked away, tears welled up in her eyes.

Benjamin caught up with her before she went into the elevator. He asked, "Are you angry?" he asked,

trying to hold her back.

Madelyn shook off his hand.

She turned to him and asked, "What's the meaning of this, Benjamin? Please, with your status, there

are plenty of young women throwing themselves at you. Can't you just leave me alone? I can't handle

this anymore, okay? I'm begging you, let me go!"

Benjamin pushed her into the elevator and closed the doors behind them, leaving those who were

watching them outside.

Inside the confined space, there were just the two of them.

Madelyn couldn't hold back her tears...

Benjamin's heart skipped a beat. He gently wiped away her tears and spoke softly, "Many women

desire me, but I want nobody but you, Madelyn... Please don't make me angry. Otherwise, I don't know

what I might do! By the way... Has David stopped bothering you lately?"

Madelyn's eyes widened suddenly.

Benjamin's voice still sounded very gentle, "I just used some tactics to keep him busy, so he wouldn't

have time for you. Madelyn, maybe soon, or...something else might happen to him. I can't promise

that!"
