Fleeing the Gilded Cage: Don’t Want to be the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 50

Chapter 50: The Situation Changed! 
Benjamin’s target was the relatively dangerous areas that they hadn’t searched yet. In the end, he suddenly focused his attention on a small village called Timbercrest 
Village. 
Surrounded by the sea, this place wouldn’t be a preferred hiding spot for seeking refuge. However, Martina might just choose to go against the grain. 
anyone 
Moreover, ships did dock in this area, so it wasn’t entirely impossible for someone to 
hide and escape from here. 
With these thoughts in mind, Benjamin didn’t hesitate at all. He immediately took decisive action and led his team to the small village. 
This time, Benjamin had brought along over a hundred people with him. They quickly monopolized all the remaining tickets for the fastest departing ship. 
Meanwhile, he also received a phone call from Adam. 
Adam seemed to have had a few drinks and his speech was slightly slurred, “Benjamin, have you been away lately? It’s been a while since you returned, we should have a gathering to celebrate. Why don’t we choose a date and get together? The guys are all eager to see 
you!” 
Benjamin’s thoughts were focused on Martina, so how could he have the mental capacity to care about these things? He didn’t even want to say a word and was ready to hang up the phone. 
But then, in the next second, Adam said something that caught Benjamin’s attention, “Every time I say this, you don’t respond. By the way, a few days ago when I took a ship, I saw someone familiar.” 
Benjamin paused in his action of hanging up the phone and asked, “Who did you see?” 
Adam burped from the alcohol and said, “Who else could it be? It’s that tail that’s been sticking to you. But I also doubt if I saw correctly. How could that woman take a ship to such a distant place?” 
Indeed, Adam was a timely assistance to Benjamin, instantly confirming Benjamin’s 
inner speculation. 
Almost impatiently, Benjamin asked, “Where?” 
Adam sensed that Benjamin’s emotions were off, but he quickly shared everything he 
knew. 
After listening to everything Adam said, if Benjamin had any doubts before, now he was extremely certain that Martina had indeed left by ship, and moreover, there was a high possibility that she was in the exact location he had locked onto! 
With the target confirmed, he hung up the phone and hurried towards Timbercrest 
Village. 
A large group of people, no matter where they appeared, were a very eye-catching sight. 
Time on the ship seemed to simultaneously fly by and drag on. 
After checking the time on his phone for many times, Benjamin finally arrived at the 
small village. 
The village could be seen in its entirety. Although the area was not particularly small, 
compared to a town or even a city, it seemed quite insignificant. 
At this moment, there were quite a few people busy by the shore, seemingly cleaning 
their fishing harvest. 
Some people were saying, “The catch today is really good. Looks like we can rest at 
home for the next two days!” 
“I feel the same way. Fishing today has been particularly pleasant, and even my child’s 
studies have made remarkable progress. It’s all good news!” 
“That’s right! This just goes to show that our village head has foresight. Otherwise, our children wouldn’t have made such rapid improvements in their grades. It’s not as simple as 
it seems.” 
While these people were engaged in cheerful conversation, Benjamin gave a signal to Simon, who quickly understood and walked over to them. 
Having been by Benjamin’s side for a long time, Simon had a good understanding of Benjamin’s personality and demeanor. He greeted the people politely, saying, “Hello.” 
Suddenly, they noticed the presence of outsiders, and what’s more, there were so many of them. It instantly startled the simple-minded villagers, almost as if they had “suspicious 
individuals” written on their faces. 
With a guarded expression, the villagers stared at Benjamin and his group, as if they were on the verge of accusing them of being bad people. 
“Who exactly are you? You don’t seem to be from our small village. We’ve never seen. you before!” one of the villagers said, filled with caution. 
Feeling their wariness, Simon could only smile and nod, “That’s right, we are just passing through here and wanted to inquire about something.” 
As Simon spoke, he took out his wallet and handed to them. The two villagers carefully put the fish they had struggled to salvage into a bag and carried it behind them, keeping a cautious eye on Simon. 
“What do you want to inquire about? We don’t know much, and you might not find out anything from us!” one of the villagers said, doubting their ability to provide any informatio 
Without hesitation, Simon reached into his pocket and took out a photo of Martina, placing it in front of them. “We’re actually looking for a person, her name is Martina Martinez, and she looks like the person in this photo. Have you seen her?” 
Upon hearing Simon’s words, the two villagers shared a swift glance, instantly displaying a hint of conspiracy on their faces. It was evident that they had a plan in mind, 
and a hostile aura emanated from them. 
One of them tried to appear calm as he shook his head, “Don’t know her. In this small rundown place, if there were such a stunning beauty, we would have recognized her at first 
sight. We’ve never seen her!” 
The other villager doubled over, clutching his stomach in evident pain. “Oh, my stomach is really uncomfortable. I must have gotten food poisoning today. I can’t take it anymore. If you have something to say, keep talking. I need to hurry back home and take care of it!” The villager exclaimed, not giving Simon and the other villager a chance to respond, and immediately sprinted towards the village. 
Benjamin’s sharp gaze fell on the departing figure, but he couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong. It was understandable for someone to react that way if they were in a hurry or had 
an urgent matter to attend to. 
However, he had a feeling that Martina might be here. If he missed this opportunity, he feared that he would never have another chance to find her again. 
At that moment, the villager pretended to have a stomachache and quickly ran towards the village, then headed straight for Candy’s house. 
From afar, he saw Candy drawing circles on the ground at the entrance of their house. The villager, catching his breath, urgently shouted, “Candy! Is Miss Martinez here?” Candy nodded at first, then shook her head and said, “Miss Martinez has gone out and I am not sure when she will come back. What’s wrong?” 
The man didn’t have time to explain much, only telling Candy that there was an emergency, “Some people have ill intentions towards Miss Martinez. Hurry and find her, tell her to hide in the cellar of our village. Unless someone from our village goes to find her, she must not go out on her own. Be quick!”
