Chapter 171: Please Investigate.

Now that it was mentioned, it surprisingly aligned with Martina's thoughts. Martina didn't intend to hide anything from the beginning and decided to come clean with Elena as something strange happened and shouldn't be overlooked. "That's right, it's impossible for such a coincidence to happen in the world unless someone intentionally caused it," Martina continued the conversation. For quite some time, there was no response from Elena's side, perhaps struggling to compose or edit her words. At this moment, she was completely clueless about what to say. "What do you mean by that? Is there really something wrong? I don't understand. Even though I understand each word you said, when I read the whole sentence, I suddenly can't comprehend it!!" after a while, she finally asked, If Martina had been with Elena at that moment, she would have seen a perplexed and innocent expression on her face. Martina didn't feel surprised at all and sent a slightly calming emoji. It seemed like she was discussing the most complex topic with the simplest attitude, and for Martina, there was nothing too difficult to accept about these matters anymore. Therefore, she could remain calm at this moment and not be greatly affected. "I know what you want to say, and coincidentally, I have something to tell you too. When those people were causing trouble today, they accidentally called out my name. I don't think it was intentional," Martina replied. Martina paused for a moment, as if recalling the scene at that time, and eventually confirmed that her recollection of the events was accurate, and they had indeed happened. She hadn't been drinking today, and if she couldn't even remember this incident, she might as well not claim to be a young girl in her twenties! Not knowing what Elena was about to say, Martina continued speaking, focusing on her inner thoughts. Because sometimes Elena's mind seemed to fall short, and that's when Martina needed to step in. "Elena, think about it. If it was just someone unfamiliar at the bar, how could they possibly know my name? Unless they had a purpose in coming here to find me and simply used any excuse as a reason to cause trouble. It might appear more plausible, but in reality, it's just a complete fabrication. Trying to deceive people like this wouldn't be that easy." Martina's words struck a chord with Elena, leaving her unsure how to react for quite some time. Even through the phone, she could feel her heart instantly becoming nervous and apprehensive. She had a sense that this matter wasn't as simple as it seemed! Completely baffled at the moment, Elena had never experienced such a situation and had never even considered such possibilities. Because she had been pampered since childhood, and treated others with utmost friendliness. Unless someone intentionally caused trouble for her, she would never deliberately provoke others. Given how things had escalated today, Elena subconsciously thought those people were just some annoying idiots, hence their actions. But she had never thought that some incidents might not be mere coincidences, but rather, intentionally orchestrated by someone. Anyway, Elena couldn't figure out the truth and could only discuss it with Martina, "Who could have the audacity to do this? Do they not know about our identities and relationship?" If someone had been truly up to something, they must have had knowledge about each other's identities, and that was why Elena asked those probing questions. It was just that no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure it out, which naturally left her feeling puzzled and eager to know what happened. Martina revealed her main suspicion, "I suspect this may be related to Amy, but I don't have concrete evidence." After a moment of hesitation, she took a deep breath and continued, "So I hope you can help me investigate. It would be best to find out who the real mastermind behind this is, so I can prepare in advance." Now Elena finally understood, and almost instantly made up her mind, feeling furious inside! She was just a step away from taking direct action! If not for her concerns about the lack of concrete evidence and manpower, she might have already done it. "Alright, no problem. Leave this matter to me, and I'll definitely investigate and uncover the truth. If it's ultimately proven to be related to that woman, I won't spare her!" Elena replied with intense determination. "There's no need to be so fierce," Martina chuckled softly, "You just need to discreetly send someone to investigate. I'll take care of the rest." Elena had a deep understanding of Martina's tactful, decisive, and strong personality. From childhood to adulthood, Martina's demeanor might have been different only in front of Benjamin, as she loved him. However, in all other aspects of her life, she exhibited brilliance and skill. Currently, it was a "tit for tat" situation, and Martina was not one to easily forgive those who provoked her. Even Benjamin had to step aside when it came to her, let alone others. With this in mind, Elena didn't hesitate at all and agreed, "Okay, then I'll take charge of the investigation, and I'll leave the rest to you." "If it's confirmed, I'll make sure that woman gets a taste of her own medicine. It's just too shameless of her!! We didn't go looking for trouble with her, yet she actually wants to pick a fight with you. Are the people from the Paloma family just born with no shame?" ... After hanging up the phone, Martina could finally take a short break. She estimated that there would be results soon. At this moment, Amy left the bar. Before that, the moment she saw Benjamin, she urgently wanted to see him, but in order to avoid exposing herself, she had to hold back and wait until Benjamin had already left for a long time, making sure it wouldn't attract his attention, before she slowly departed. Indeed, Amy had become much smarter in her actions now. At least she wasn't as impulsive as before and started using her brain a little. Perhaps this was what they called gaining wisdom through setbacks. She learned some lessons because of Martina. Now, to be cautious, she would definitely be more careful in her actions, all for her own safety, so as to avoid any immeasurable consequences.
