Chapter 92: Excluded Deliberately Upon hearing these words, Martina gradually fell into contemplation. If it weren’t for Elena saying thisright 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 willingto 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 whatplans and schemes he had in mind.

Nevertheless, no matter the reason, being able to go out and work was good. It was certainly betterthan 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 forobservation. She took care of eating, drinking, and sleeping, while Elena kept her company and chattedwith her. But as time went on, it became boring and meaningless. It was better to go back homequickly.

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

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

Indeed, some people are born with an advantage. Elena thought her own family conditions werealready 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 andadmiration. It was a universal truth that no one dared to underestimate him when it came to matters of

wealth and affluence.

In various aspects of life, Benjamin might have been lacking or deficient, but the realm of wealth wasdefinitely not one of them. Money flowed abundantly through his veins, affording him the means toindulge 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 likeMartina in his life. However, the stark contrast between his previous indifference towards her bestfriend and his sudden proactive behavior was rather perplexing. He didn’t even allow others theopportunity 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 tomaintain her demeanor as a young lady as much as possible.

Upon being brought back home by Leslie, the two of them saw the old butler, who was watering theplants in the courtyard.

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

At this moment, there were some traces of dirt on Martina’s clothes due to the water from watering theplants. 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 isnot 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 beentreated this way before. Even in previous instances when Martina was aware that he was intentionallycausing trouble, she always exhibited tolerance and let it slide. But due to Elena’s status, the butler hadno choice but to silently endure.

He still appeared very upright and replied, “Miss Rodriguez, as I mentioned earlier, it was just amisunderstanding. It happened because Miss Martinez coincidentally arrived at the same time, and Icouldn’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 nosigns of being reserved.

“Listen, you can’t just go around acting recklessly and think that your years of experience as a butlermake 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 probablywouldn’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 showsome frustration.

As a butler, he was used to being treated respectfully by others. He didn’t want to offend MissRodríguez 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 some dissatisfaction 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 outcome was quite the opposite. Martina showed no signs of yielding, meeting thebutler’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 treated me before. If you have any complaints aboutme, 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 inkind.”

After saying these words, Martina took off her clothes without hesitation and threw them into thebutler’s hands. “By the way, please do me a 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 notthat I look down on those low-level employees who work for a wage. I just believe that they should dowhat they’re paid for, without overstepping their boundaries.”

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

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

Martina casually waved her hand and said, “We don’t need to pay attention to insignificant people.Come with me to 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 shewouldn’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 nowthat it was fresh off the press.
