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

Chapter 53: It’s Time to Leave
The villagers kept their eyes fixed on the direction Benjamin and the others were leaving. When they saw them actually boarding the boat and leaving, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As he watched them leave, the Chief remained skeptical.

A villager’s voice hushed, as if afraid that someone might be eavesdropping, “Chief, what do you think we should do next? Will these people come back and cause trouble?”

Another villager chimed in, saying, “I can’t help but think that their departure this time is too calm. Is it possible that they have some malicious intentions and are deliberately disguising them?”

“If their actions end up affecting Miss Martinez, we would all feel guilty as well.”

“Miss Martinez has helped us so much all these days. Without her, my child wouldn’t even understand the basic questions.”

“Miss Martinez has done so many things for us. We can’t simply sit and watch her get into trouble. We can’t just be idle and useless, okay?”

Everyone chimed in, agreeing, “Absolutely. But I think those people have already gone.

“That cellar is dark and damp. If it weren’t for the circumstances, I wouldn’t want Miss Martinez to go near that place at all.”

Martina didn’t know how long she had been waiting. Maybe it was an hour, two hours, or three?

She waited until her mind started to feel drowsy.

The cellar was stuffy, and if someone stayed there for a long time, it could cause discomfort in the body.

Martina felt her consciousness becoming increasingly blurry, but fortunately, just when she was about to give in, she heard voices calling from above the cellar. “Miss Martinez… Miss Martinez, are you okay?”
