Chapter 51


    Chapter 51: Vanished?


    Martina could easily figure out what was going on without even having to think about it. So, Benjamin


    must have arrived, and so quickly.


    Without hesitation, Martina followed Candy and ran towards the direction of the cer.


    They had amunal cer in their ce, where they stored things like potatoes. The space was quite


    large and, most importantly, inconspicuous.


    Unless someone from their vige knew about it, others would never expect that there was a hiding


    ce in there.


    Following Candy’s instructions, Martina descended into the cer using the ropedder.


    It was pitch ck inside, but luckily, she had her phone with her for illumination.


    She was currently wearing a set of clothes borrowed from Candy’s mother.


    Although it was old, it was very clean.


    Despite the fact that this outfit didn’t seem suitable for Martina’s age, it was precisely because of her


    exceptional looks and figure that she managed to exude her own unique style.


    Martina ced a towel on the floor and sat down cross-legged.


    She pressed one hand against her chest and tightly held onto her phone, feeling its slight warmth.


    Through the cracks above the cer, she could only catch a glimpse of the faint light outside.


    Benjamin was here as she guessed.


    Even though Martina had been prepared for this, her heart was still pounding.


    He… shouldn’t be able to find her, right?


    At this moment, Benjamin ultimately caught a glimpse of something suspicious in that viger’s face.


    Especially when Martina’s name was mentioned, his gaze would tremble slightly. No matter how


    convincing the disguise may be, there will still be ws left behind.


    Who was Benjamin? He had always been the one in control, where no conspiracy or trickery could


    seed in front of him.


    Moreover, this person trying to lie in front of him was even more impossible.


    However, Benjamin didn’t reveal anything. Instead, he continued to act in his own way and approached


    the person in front of him. His attitude seemed courteous, but it carried an endless edge.


    “May I bring some people to search?” he asked.


    Startled by the sudden voice of Benjamin, the person became flustered and bega stutter out of


    nervousness. “Oh, you want to search? There’s no need for that. We h seen this person, and our


    vige is so small.


    “We all know each other here, so it wouldn’t be easy to hide someone, especially a stranger. If she


    really came, the whole vige would know right away!”


    Unfazed by whatever the person said, Benjamin maintained his indifference and casually waved his


    hand toward the person behind him. With a cold tone, he uttered a single word, “Search.”


    Leslie immediately led the group of people behind him and quickly divided them into several teams.


    “You guys, go to the east and search!”


    “You guys go to the west, and as for you, go to the other two sides! Remember to conduct a thorough


    search, don’t miss any details.”


    Everyone nodded one after another and hurried towards the vige with disciplined steps. Even if


    someone wanted to stop them, it was toote.


    The viger could only silently pray in his heart, hoping that his buddy had already informed Miss


    Martinez, urging her to hide quickly.


    Otherwise, it would be bad if they were discovered. Miss Martinez has sacrificed so much for the


    children, working tirelessly day and night to teach.


    And back then, the progress of these children was excellent. They started with not understanding a


    single question, but they made tremendous strides. All of this was thanks ‘to Martina.


    They were all very grateful to Martina and were consciously eager to help her, always remembering the


    things she had asked of them before.


    Moreover, in their eyes, they found Martina to be a very likable and kind person. They believed that the


    people who hade looking for Martina definitely had malicious intentions!


    Furthermore, with Benjamin suddenly bringing so many people and giving off an intimidating vibe right


    from the start, it seemed quite obvious to them what they should do, didn’t it?


    They split up, with Benjamin and Simon heading in the same direction, going from house to house in


    search.


    Many people were surprised to see so many strangers suddenly arriving and looked at them with


    curiosity and confusion.


    “Who are these people? Why do they look so menacinging to our vige?” Some people stood at


    their doorsteps, both men and women, but kept their distance out of fear. “Who knows? I think these


    people have some ill intentions.”


    Being the assistant who had been by Benjamin’s side for a long time, Simon’s this were cunning


    compared to others. “Hey there, little one. Have you seen the person I photo?”


    The child being asked was one of the children that Martina had taught before.


    When he saw Martina’s face in the photo, he instinctively wanted to let out a sweet smile. However, he


    remembered the words his mother had specifically reminded him of and abruptly stopped the smile on


    his face, shaking his head.


    But children can’t hide their true emotions too well. A hint of panic still showed on his face. “I don’t


    recognize her. I don’t know her.”


    However, the child’s eyes clearly told everyone that he did recognize her.


    Benjamin furrowed his brow, deep in thought. Even a fool could see it, let alone. Benjamin himself.


    He had been searching for Martina for a long time, and he wouldn’t let these things slip away like this.


    But now he had no way of getting to the bottom of the situation. It seemed like the people in this vige


    had agreed on something.


    Could it be possible that every single person unanimously imed to have never seen Martina?


    Benjamin rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He had indeed led all the people behind him to search the


    surrounding area thoroughly. They had conducted a thorough search, but still couldn’t find the person


    he wanted to see.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    That woman seemed to have vanished into the air. Whether they admitted it or not, that was the reality.


    Although the anxiety was clearly shown on the faces of these people, Martina’s presence couldn’t be


    found here. What could be the reason for this?


    Could it be that Martina had indeed been here before but had already left?


    If that were the case, these people would not have had any reason to conceal the truth. They could


    have openly disclosed it since it would not have affected them in any way. Therefore, the truth


    remained that they were still pretending, and Martina had never actually left.


    Perhaps there was some kind of agreement among them for unknown reasons, leading to these


    circumstances. Even Benjamin himself couldn’t figure out why.


    Now even Benjamin had to see Martina in a new light. Martina used to ask for his opinion and let him


    make decisions about everything she did. This was the first time she had shown such strong


    determination and independence.
