Fleeing the Gilded Cage: Don’t Want to be the Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Excluded Deliberately Upon hearing these words, Martina gradually fell into contemplation. If it weren’t for Elena saying this right in front of her, she wouldn’t dare to believe that these were the words. spoken by Benjamin.

Benjamin obviously wanted to confine her and wouldn’t even allow her to work. How could he be willing to let her go and work outside? Wasn’t he afraid that she would run away again?

Martina couldn’t fully comprehend the thoughts and intentions of the present Benjamin, wondering what plans and schemes he had in mind.

Nevertheless, no matter the reason, being able to go out and work was good. It was certainly better than being confined in a place that didn’t belong to her.

Perhaps because of good mood, Martina was discharged from the hospital in the afternoon.

In fact, her fever had already subsided a while ago, and her stay at the hospital was mainly for observation. She took care of eating, drinking, and sleeping, while Elena kept her company and chatted with her. But as twent on, it becboring and meaningless. It was better to go back home quickly.

With Benjamin’s agreement, Elena accompanied Martina back to his home.

It was the first tfor Elena to visit Benjamin’s home, and she could only curl her lips/ when she saw its luxurious and grand appearance.

Indeed, speople are born with an advantage. Elena thought her own family conditions were already pretty good, but compared to Benjamin, it seemed insufficient.

Benjamin’s immense wealth was no secret to anyone, and it was a fact that commanded respect and admiration. It was a universal truth that no one dared to underestimate him when it cto matters of

wealth and affluence.

In various aspects of life, Benjamin might have been lacking or deficient, but the realm of wealth was definitely not one of them. Money flowed abundantly through his veins, affording him the means to indulge in luxurious lifestyles, make grand investments, and wield considerable influence.

Elena suddenly began to understand why Benjamin had undergone such a transformation.

Considering Benjamin’s present status and position, it was evident that he was lacking someone like Martina in his life. However, the stark contrast between his previous indifference towards her best friend and his sudden proactive behavior was rather perplexing. He didn’t even allow others the opportunity to mentally prepare for this change, leaving them utterly bewildered.

Elena suppressed her own thoughts and didn’t want to embarrass Martina. Instead, she tried to maintain her demeanor as a young lady as much as possible.

Upon being brought back hby Leslie, the two of them saw the old butler, who was watering the plants in the courtyard.

Inadvertently, the butler ended up spilling water on Martina, whether it was intentional or not. Although he quickly apologized with a remorseful expression, saying, “Miss Martinez, I apologize sincerely. Your arrival was so sudden, and I didn’t notice you.”

At this moment, there were straces of dirt on Martina’s clothes due to the water from watering the plants. It looked a bit dirty.

Elena had never liked this butler, and now she took the opportunity to speak her mind directly. “Hey, Mr. butler, the road is clearly so wide, and the sun is shining so brightly today. I heard that your eyesight is not bad either. Why did you choose to water in this particular spot and get it all over Miss Martinez?”

Hearing Elena’s blunt questioning, the butler was momentarily taken aback, as he had never been treated this way before. Even in previous instances when Martina was aware that he was intentionally causing trouble, she always exhibited tolerance and let it slide. But due to Elena’s status, the butler had no choice but to silently endure.

He still appeared very upright and replied, “Miss Rodriguez, as I mentioned earlier, it was just a misunderstanding. It happened because Miss Martinez coincidentally arrived at the stime, and I couldn’t stop in time, leading to this situation.”

Elena was infuriated, her chest heaving with anger. She didn’t hold back with her words, showing no signs of being reserved.

“Listen, you can’t just go around acting recklessly and think that your years of experience as a butler make it okay. I can see that you’re intentionally targeting my friend!”

“I’ve always disliked you from the beginning, and now you dare to do this to Martina right in front of me. Who knows what you’re capable of behind closed doors?”

The more Elena thought about it, the angrier she became. If it weren’t for the butler’s age, she probably wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to confront him physically.

“Miss Rodríguez, the butler called out, but stopped for a few seconds. His expression seemed to show sfrustration.

As a butler, he was used to being treated respectfully by others. He didn’t want to offend Miss Rodríguez just because of her status, but that didn’t mean he would allow himself to be treated like this. Where had he ever encountered such a situation?

He looked at Martina with sdissatisfaction and said, “Miss Martinez, Miss Rodríguez is your friend, so I don’t want to upset her. But aren’t Miss Rodriguez’s words a bit too offensive? Don’t you plan to do

something about it?”

The butler had expected Martina to apologize to him like she did before, bearing the humiliation. However, the outcwas quite the opposite. Martina showed no signs of yielding, meeting the butler’s gaze without any courtesy.

“Mr. Butler, I think my friend is right. I think you are deliberately excluding me.”

The butler looked confused. How dared Martina speak to him like this?

Martina continued, “I remember very well how you treatedbefore. If you have any complaints about me, you can talk to Benjamin directly.”

“But if there’s a situation like today again, even if you’re older than me, I won’t hesitate to respond in kind.”

After saying these words, Martina took off her clothes without hesitation and threw them into the butler’s hands. “By the way, please doa favor. Wash them clean before returning them to me.”

Without giving the butler any chance to respond, Martina grabbed Elena and entered the villa together.

Elena was utterly shocked by Martina’s current demeanor and gave her a thumbs up from behind.

“Impressive, sister,” Elena casually commented, confirming the butler couldn’t hear anything. “It’s not that I look down on those low-level employees who work for a wage. I just believe that they should do what they’re paid for, without overstepping their boundaries.”

That statement did make sense. Elena had repeatedly told Martina before that sometimes she shouldn’t be too weak.

But at that time, Martina was deeply infatuated, so deeply enamored with Benjamin that she was willing to endure any pain for him. It was as if her love for him knew no bounds. However, now that she had undergone a transformation, realizing her own worth and standing up for herself, Elena felt a sense of relief deep inside.

Martina casually waved her hand and said, “We don’t need to pay attention to insignificant people. Cwithto the room and tidy up.”

Elena was stuck in confusion, “Tidy up? Tidy up what?”

Martina knew that even if Benjamin allowed her to work, he wouldn’t allow her to leave here. So she wouldn’t be messing around with that.

When she mentioned tidying up, she was referring to the new design sketch she had drawn last night.

Since Elena hadn’t seen the newly designed sketch yet, Martina was excited to share it with her now that it was fresh off the press.
