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

Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Out of Sincerity or Not? Regardless of whether Amy agreed or not, the final outcome was already predetermined, unless she truly didn’t care about the Paloma family at all.

If she still wanted to continue being the princess of the Paloma family in the future, then she must coexist and perish with the Paloma family.

There were always trade–offs in life. It was impossible to constantly enjoy the benefits without experiencing any drawbacks.

In the hospital, Martina woke up and once again saw the familiar ceiling. Although it wasn’t the same hospital, the layout and everything were similar.

Her limbs felt weak, and it took her a great effort to finally extend her hand and rub her head forcefully. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Whether it was telepathy or just a coincidence, almost right after Martina woke up, Benjamin appeared in the ward with Amy.

Many thoughts came to Martina’s mind while seeing these two people appear one after the other.

Could it be that the two of them had already hooked up behind her back and now they were here to deliberately confront her?

Or maybe they wanted to come together in front of her and intentionally humiliate her? Or perhaps there were some shameful secrets between the two of them, and now they couldn’t resist the urge to explain it to her?

If it were before, Martina would have felt extremely upset and even wanted to kick them out directly.

But now, Martina just gave the two of them a casual glance, picked up the cup of warm water from the table, and took a sip.

Benjamin unconsciously quickened his pace to reach the bedside, and his voice became unintentionally much gentler, “Awake?”

Martina rolled her eyes. Was there even a need to ask? It was something visible to the naked eye, so why bother with such unnecessary inquiries?

However, considering that her body hadn’t fully recovered yet, she did feel a bit dependent on others.

Martina managed to reply with some effort, “Yeah.”

Benjamin’s well–defined big hand picked up the pillow next to him and stuffed it behind Martina.

This whole process was done very naturally, as if he had done it countless times before, but in reality, it was his first time.

Amy felt another blow to her heart. She couldn’t understand why Benjamin always had his eyes on Martina.

What was so good about Martina? In any aspects, Amy thought that she obviously surpassed others by far!

Even though Martina expected Benjamin to pull off a series of tricks next, she didn’t expect him to shift his gaze onto Amy.

Martina’s eyes showed a pensive look, not understanding what they were up to.

As the situation became increasingly awkward, it seemed like these two really had something they wanted to hide.

Martina was running out of patience, and she took the initiative to speak up, “Just say whatever you have to say. Why bother pretending here? Isn’t it tiring?”

Benjamin sensed that Martina had misunderstood him once again, but he didn’t explain because the most powerful explanation was simply the truth happening before their eyes.

Amy clenched her teeth, and her fists tightened, but she didn’t react for quite some time.

Martina’s eyes showed a slight change. “If you don’t have anything to say, then please leave. I’m tired and want to rest.”

away.

Martina’s words were merciless. There was a strong desire for them to disappear right Benjamin’s cold gaze fell upon Amy. Regardless of whether Amy admitted it or not, it was already a promised matter, so there was naturally no reason for rebuttal or resistance.

Due to Benjamin’s intimidating gaze, Amy could only reluctantly speak up.

Under Martina’s completely bewildered gaze, she suddenly knelt down with a thud, startling Martina.

Martina had countless questions in her mind.

What was Amy doing now?

Why did she suddenly kneel down?

It seemed like they had never discussed anything related to it, so what was her intention?

Amy felt an immense sense of humiliation and wished she could just kill Martina right now. However, with Benjamin present, she had to keep some of her thoughts hidden in her heart.

At most, she would seek retribution later. But for now, she couldn’t easily expose anything, as the consequences would be extremely bad for her.

Under Martina’s puzzled gaze, Amy gradually spoke, “Martina, I’m really sorry. I was wrong. I have accepted the punishment for it. I hope you can forgive me.”

Amy still maintained that self–righteous appearance, clearly not truly considering Martina’s feelings, treating it as just a process.

Martina initially didn’t understand and didn’t know why Amy was doing this.

Amy’s personality was very spoiled, so why did she suddenly have this demeanor? It was really puzzling.

Martina narrowed her eyes. “Sorry, I don’t quite understand what you mean.”

Amy glanced at Benjamin’s expression discreetly. Perhaps it was because of the pressure emanating from Benjamin that she had to speak up again. “The incident you experienced last night at the Rodríguez family’s villa was actually because of me. I’m truly sorry, and I promise it won’t happen again. I hope we can live peacefully in the future.”

It was like a promiscuous person claiming they would be faithful to their partners.

It was completely unbelievable, and even disgusting.

Previously, Martina was curious why Amy would voluntarily say these things in front of her, and now she finally understood.

Martina turned sour–faced as she looked at Amy in front of her, as if she were looking at an extremely foolish idiot.

“Paloma, what makes you think that after you tried to set me up, I can forgive you and act like nothing happened?” Martina said. “No matter the outcome of this matter, and regardless of the difference in our identities, don’t you find it ridiculous?”

Deep in Amy’s heart, she still remembered her grandfather’s instructions before she came here. Today, she must obtain Martina’s forgiveness, even if it’s only superficially. Otherwise, Benjamin would definitely do something behind the scenes, and things would become even more dangerous.

Regardless of whether Amy admitted it or not, she was extremely afraid of the current situation.

If she were to deviate from the agreed plan, the chances of her returning safely seemed slim. Despite the pain in her knees and the humiliation, she gritted her teeth and endured. “So, what can I do so you will forgive me? I know I was wrong, and Benjamin has already scolded me. I truly want to apologize to you.” Even now, Amy still tried to break the relationship between Benjamin and Martina.
