    Chapter 47: How could it possibly be that woman?


    In the blink of an eye, the ship docked slowly.

    Martina had almost vomited several times, and now that she saw the ship docking, she was prepared


    to disembark.


    Although Adam was ying cards, his gaze would consciously or unconsciously fall on Martina


    Whether it was his eyes ying tricks on him or something else, he had a constant feeling that this


    woman in front of him was familiar.


    It was as if he had actually seen her somewhere before, but this thought made Adam somewhat


    restless.


    “Something’s not right. I have to go out and take a look. This woman might actually be someone I


    know!” After saying that, Adam quickly walked towards Martina’s direction. At the same time, Martina


    blended back into the crowd and began to disembark.


    By the time Adam reached the deck to see Martina, she had already stepped off the ship. He had


    arrived just a tad toote.


    Adam vaguely caught a glimpse of Martina’s profile, and his heart was instantly shaken. “How could it


    be her? Martina?!”


    He couldn’t believe it. He would rather believe that the woman in front of him might be someone he had


    yed with before than to suspect that this person was actually Martina.


    It was simply too unbelievable.


    Almost as soon as this thought arose, it was ruthlessly suppressed by Adam.


    He shook his head vigorously, refusing to believe everything before his eyes. “It’s impossible,


    absolutely impossible. I must be seeing things. Otherwise, how could that woman appear in this


    ce?”


    Even though that woman had been impressivetely, she hadn’t returned to Benjamin’s side for such a


    long time.


    ording to her personality, she wouldn’t run so far away. This vige, which looked rundown and


    boring, was definitely not a ce Martina would willingly stay in!


    That woman was a gold digger!


    How could she possibly be willing to give up a wealthy life and appear in such a rundown ce? It was


    simply unbelievable!


    His friends also cast curious nces at Adam. “Hey, Adam, what are you muttering to yourself? Share


    something interesting with your brothers.”


    Adam couldn’t see the woman’s face as he had hoped, and he vented all his dissatisfaction on the


    people behind him.


    He red at the person who spoke. “Mind your own business. Why are you talking to me? Be careful,


    or I’ll p you into the sea!”


    As the ship set sail again, Adam didn’t have the desire to disembark and take a look around.


    Instead, he narrowed his eyes and sneered. Especially when he thought about how


    Martina might be suffering in some obscure corner during this time, it brought him great satisfaction.


    His words were particrly harsh.


    “Martina, you think you canpare yourself to my sister? Look at yourself! My sister is a princess,


    and you’re nothing!


    “It seems even Benjamin has lost patience with you during this time. Otherwise, how could he allow


    you to stay outside for so long?


    “Indeed, your good days are about toe to an end!”


    Martina was unaware of the events that transpired with Adam during her absence. Instead, she carried


    her bag and disembarked from the ship.


    As she gazed at the entirely unfamiliar surroundings, fear didn’t grip her. Instead, she experienced an


    unparalleled sense of peace and security.


    Perhaps, only by starting anew like this could she truly move forward. As long as everything could be


    reset, it wasn’t toote.


    Martina took a moment to observe theyout of the vige. It was one of those ces surrounded by


    the sea on all four sides, meaning that if she wanted to leave, she would have to take a ship.


    Fortunately, the vige was not small, and it seemed to have a considerable poption. Moreover, the


    scenery was pleasant. If she wanted to find a ce to settle down, this would indeed be a great option!


    Considering Benjamin’s personality, he would surely expect her to find a ce that was convenient in


    terms of transportation and other aspects.


    However, she chose to go against his expectationspletely, breaking away from his previous


    assumptions and spections.


    This created a discrepancy in information, allowing Martina to stay in this ce. for a longer period. If


    she ever grew tired of it, she could simply take another ship and leave.


    With these thoughts in mind, Martina felt motivated and walked with confidence.


    Her arrival immediately caught the attention of many people.


    Some were fishing by the sea, while others toiled diligently in the vige, reminiscent of life in the old


    society. It felt warm andforting at first nce.


    One man, who appeared to be in his forties, took the initiative to approach Martina.


    “Hello, Ma’am. It seems that you’re not from our vige. May I ask what brings you here?” his face


    showed curiosity as he spoke. “I am just asking. Please don’t take offense. I am the Chief of


    Timbercrest Vige, Jeb Huckleberry. Nice to meet you.”


    Due to the inconvenience of transportation in this area, many people from the vige. chose to leave


    and pursue opportunities elsewhere.


    That was why the people here were very curious about the motives of someone who willingly came to


    their vige.


    It was unlikely that they had nothing better to do and were just wasting time and money here.


    Moreover, the arrival of an attractive and elegant youngdy like Martina raised concerns that she


    might bring trouble.


    Martina noticed the cautiousness of these people towards her but didn’t want to reveal her true


    purpose.


    After all, it was wise to be cautious as there was no guarantee that these people didn’t have any ill


    intentions.


    For safety, Martina had toe up with a casual lie.


    “Nice to meet you, Mr. Huckleberry. I am Martina Martinez. Actually, I’m a writer. When I have free time,


    I like to find a beautiful and tranquil environment to seek inspiration,” she said. “I noticed that this


    vige called Timbercrest has a stunning and peaceful environment, and most importantly, there’s no


    disturbance. So, I thought of temporarily staying here for a while.”


    Seeing the Chief remaining silent with a skeptical expression, she continued speaking, “Don’t worry, I


    won’t cause you any trouble. I just need a ce to stay temporarily.”


    The Chief simply stared at Martina, appearing to contemte whether or not to trust her words.


    Perhaps it was because Martina’s words and gaze were so sincere that it was difficult to doubt her true


    intentions.


    Finally, the Chief agreed, “Well, Miss Martinez, if you’re just here for a visit and to rx, we certainly


    wee you! But if by any chance you cause us any trouble, don’t me us for being unfriendly!”
