Chapter 121

Chapter 121 Benjamin’s words left Shirley in a daze for a long time.

After what seemed like an etemity, Shirley finally spolu slowly, “You think I joined Turbo Impact because I can’t let go of Samuel?

That after seeing Tomei, who also had a disability like him, made me want to help him, so 1 gave up on the offers from better teams?TM Was that what he meant? Was that why he had been so cold to her?

Benjamin responded firmly, “Isn’t that the case?”

Shirley met his gaze calmly, her expression umavering. “Benjamin, my decision to join Turbo Impact has nothing to do with Samuel.”

She never expected that, just because Tomas also had an injured leg. Benjamin would associate him with Samuel Had he been betrayed before?Was that why he was so sensitive?

Benjamin’s dark eves were as sharp as an eagle’s, as if they could see straight into her soul.

She faced his gaze head–on with her own, clear and steady.

Suddenly, he stood up, walked to his desk, and took a photo frame out of the drawer. He placed it in front of Shirley, his piercing gaze fixed on her once more Looking at the photo of four smiling faces, she found herself unable to speak for a long time.

How could she have forgotten that her father’s desk still had a family photo with Samuel in it?

Everything related to Samuel had been cleared out from the house, yet this or cone had slipped through the cracks!

Benjamin was sitting at her father’s desk to handle company affairs. How could she have overlooked such an important detail?

It was no wonder his expression was so grim!

Shirley looked up at the man towering over her with a cold and detached demeanor, knowing he was waiting to see how she would deal with the photo Without hesitation, she opened the frame, removed Samuel’s half of the photo right in front of him, and tore it into pieces. Then, she tore it again, shredding Samuel’s face into fragments and throwing them into the trash He should be satisfied now, right?

Seeing Shirley’s actions, Benjamin’s expression finally softened a little, but his voice remained cold as ice. “I hope this isn’t just guilt making you act.” With that, he sat back down.

Shirley, knowing she was in the wrong, took the initiative to explain, “This photo was taken on my 18th birthday and has always been on my dad’s desk. After my father’s accident, I haven’t been to the office, so I forgot to clear it. It wasn’t intentional.”

Benjamin knew what the Weiss family had gone through after Owen’s fall. Under those circumstances, it was impossible for Shirley to have visited Weiss Her words were credible.

Benjamin picked up his cutleries again. “Aside from this, is there anything else you’d like to confess?”

Although his tone seemed casual, Shirley felt a tightness in her chest.

Donald must have told Benjamin about her encounter with Samuel at the Grays residence.

Recalling her conversation with Samuel, Shirley clenched her fists tightly. “I saw Samuel at the Grays residence. He was returning my phone to me.” Benjamin’s deep, dark eyes bore into hers. Shirley’s throat bobbed a few times as she swallowed nervously. “He... he wanted to get back together, but I refused” “Are you disappointed?”

Benjamin curled his lips into a cold smile. “If you’d held out a few more days, he might have changed his mind. Then you wouldn’t have had to marry me. Shirley knew Benjamin was testing her, “There are no ‘its‘ in life. Even if there were, I wouldn’t look back. What he’s done, I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.
