Fleeing the Gilded Cage: Don’t Want to be the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 49
Chapter 49: The Safest Place
Martina quickly understood the Chief’s idea and thought that since she would be staying here for an unknown number of days, it
would be a good thing to help these children with their studies. Not only would it divert her attention, but it would also make her
stay more comfortable. With these thoughts in mind, Martina readily agreed without any hesitation.
“Okay. I will do my best to help these children learn more during the time I’m here before I leave,” Martina said.
Upon hearing Martina’s words, the Chief was deeply grateful and even on the verge of tears. “I am very much appreciated your
help,” he sincerely said. “You can rest assured, Miss Martinez. You can stay here as long as you want, as long as you’re willing
to teach the children in our village.”
Having her own intentions, Martina pondered for a moment before speaking up, “That’s not a problem, but I have a favor to ask.
If someone happens to come looking for me in the village in the next few days, please don’t disclose any information about my
whereabouts.”
The Chief was a smart person and now, after much effort, he finally managed to convince Martina to teach the children in the
village. Naturally, he didn’t want any complications to arise from this arrangement, so he agreed without hesitation.
“No problem at all, we will absolutely help you. You can rest assured that everyone in the village will assist you,” he replied.
A broader smile appeared on Martina’s face. “Thank you so much, Mr. Huckleberry. By the way, just call me Martina.”
The Chief lived up to his reputation as a man of action. As soon as he agreed, he immediately informed everyone in the village.
This made Martina even more reassured.
In the following days, apart from her regular rest time, she dedicated herself to helping the children learn and teaching them
diligently.
Especially when faced with the eager and studious gazes of these children, Martina even felt a sense of great accomplishment.
Another week passed. Although the living conditions in this place were relatively underdeveloped, basic necessities were not a
problem.
After spending a long time with these children, Martina surprisingly developed a reluctance to leave.
However, good times never last too long.
After completing another day of classes and freshening up with a shower at home, Martina was startled by the anxious voice of
Candy. “Martina, there’s an emergency!”
Martina instinctively hurriedly put on her clothes and poked her head out of the simple bathroom. She looked at Candy, who was
running towards her, and asked, “What happened? Relax, take your time and tell me what happened.”
In the morning, Benjamin had dispatched a team to search various locations along the coast, but they were unable to find any
sign of Martina. Doubt started creeping into Benjamin’s mind, questioning the accuracy of his judgment.
Especially after checking the ticket records of those ships, there was no sign of Martina whatsoever. The current situation was
clear: either she didn’t take any ship at all, or she used a fake identity to board.
As for where that woman had gone, it was uncertain at the moment. All the clues seemed to have vanished.
Without needing a word from Benjamin, Leslie could feel the stinging sensation on his face, accompanied by intense pain.
It was a disheartening realization that despite once being recognized as a talented individual by Benjamin, he had repeatedly let
him down now.
Now Leslie himself had a strong sense of being unable to stay in front of Benjamin, not knowing how to escape the current
situation.
“Boss, please give me another chance! This time I will definitely find Miss Martinez and bring her back,” Leslie pleaded, unable to
even lift his head, feeling the heat burning on his face.
Even Simon didn’t know what to say because they had never considered the possibility that Martina could smoothly escape right
under their noses, and not only that, but also vanish without a trace. It made their efforts seem like a joke.
It was totally a laughingstock!
But now, even if they didn’t accept it, there was no way around it. Martina has truly. disappeared as if evaporated from the earth,
leaving everyone feeling utterly powerless.
The pressure emanating from Benjamin had reached a point where it could no longer be described as low, but rather as
uncontrollable.
Looking at the mess on the ground, everyone dared not make a sound. The corners of his eyes were red and fierce, reflecting
his current mood.
As he listened to the reports from his subordinates, there wasn’t a single senten he liked to hear.
In these few short days, Benjamin had been running back and forth .com fast update, personally searching, but still hadn’t
found a trace of Martina. It was truly unimaginable.
Leslie noticed that Benjamin remained silent, and his daring speculation began to take shape in his mind.
“Could it be that Miss Martinez never actually boarded the ship and is still in this city, hiding in a relatively safer place?” he said.
However, Benjamin immediately dismissed the idea, saying, “No, this is her only chance.”
Benjamin played with his custom-made wristwatch, a high-priced luxury item worth at least a million dollars. In the next second,
without any hesitation, he effortlessly tossed it into the nearby ice bucket, as if he was discarding a tissue with ease.
He picked up a dry towel to wipe his hands, then stood up again, declaring, “Change the location, keep searching.”
They had already searched many places thoroughly, leaving only a few nooks and crannies unexplored. Leslie was starting to
feel hopeless and helpless.
“We’ve searched through cities and villages where people could potentially hide, but we still haven’t seen Miss Martinez,” he
said. “It’s really making me wonder, where could Miss Martinez be hiding? She wouldn’t possibly choose dangerous places to
hide, would she?
Those words suddenly awakened Benjamin. If there was anyone who understood him best, it was undoubtedly Martina.If she
truly wanted to escape from him, she would undoubtedly have a firm grasp on his temperament, taking actions with extreme
caution.
Even the places he would prioritize in his search would be within Martina’s control!
Perhaps she really did find a dangerous place to hide!
With this realization, Benjamin quickly pulled out his phone and began a thorough investigation.
