Chapter 104: Prejudices in the Heart Were Like Mountains That Were Hard to Move
“Elena, don’t worry. I’m no longer who I used to be. No one should think they can easily lay a hand on me, and I won’t be weak
anymore. If someone dares to provoke trouble in front of me, I won’t hesitate to fight back,” said Martina, softly.
Elena finally felt relieved, knowing that she could only hold her temper no matter what. “Alright, alright. As long as you don’t
repeat the same mistakes, but it’s okay. I’m here today, and no one will dare to bully you. This is my territory.”
The two women smiled at each other, understanding the genuine concern they had for one another. In this lifetime, having such
a loyal friend was akin to possessing the most precious treasure in the world.
When Amy arrived here, she naturally saw Martina, and she also noticed the clothes Martina was wearing. The smile on her face
instantly turned unnatural, and she could barely fake it anymore. How could she have known that such a misunderstanding
would occur today?
Amy had paid a great price for this outfit, originally intending to outshine everyone and showcase the elegance of the only
daughter of the Paloma family. It was also a way to regain the reputation she had lost before.
Who could have anticipated that she would end up wearing the exact same outfit as Martina? To make matters worse, Martina
was the woman she despised the most.
Matching outfits was not the worst part, but whoever looked ugly would be
embarrassed.
In the current situation, it was clear that Amy was at a disadvantage. Whether it was in terms of appearance or temperament,
Martina clearly outshined her, something that anyone
could see.
Amy forcibly resisted the urge to scratch Martina’s face, and a forced, ugly smile
appeared on her face as she approached Martina and greeted, “Hi, Miss Martinez. It seems we have some fate between us. I
didn’t expect to see you here. I thought, given Miss Martinez’s status, you wouldn’t be appearing in a place like this.”.

“And I never imagined that we would coincidentally choose the same outfit. I wonder where Miss Martinez obtained this dress?
It’s a unique piece, only two in the world.”

Even without careful listening, one could hear the sarcasm in her words. Amy was clearly provoking them on purpose.
Instinctively, Elena stepped forward and positioned herself in front of Martina, her face displaying a defensive expression. “It’s
none of your business. I had someone buy it for me. Do you have a problem with that? You’re just jealous and imitating her.”
Elena thought Amy would back down, but she didn’t stop there.
“So that’s how it is. I always thought Miss Martinez couldn’t afford such expensive clothes. Turns out, she is benefiting from her
wealthy friends,” Amy smirked and continued. “Miss Martinez, in a time when depending on men is no longer an option, why
would you persist in pursuing material possessions despite your existing state of poverty?”
“Does it mean that Miss Martinez can only secure her place among us now by relying
on such abilities? Well, are you intentionally coming here today to find a new patron who will spend money on you?” Amy’s
remarks shifted from subtle mockery to outright provocation, something that no one could tolerate.
Elena immediately raised her arm, as if she was about to slap her hard.
ng
It was absolutely infuriating. Amy was completely crossing the line. What did she mean
by all this? Was she trying to provoke a fight or something?
As Amy uttered those words, the gazes of many people towards Martina turned peculiar. Ilt seemed as if they began to perceive
her as a materialistic woman who depended entirely on men, and their gazes towards Martina grew progressively filled with
contempt.
Clearly, this was Amy’s true intention.
Some even went as far as to believe that the dress Martina was wearing were mere
fake. There were only two of those dresses in the world. It would have been understandable for the daughter of the Paloma
family to wear them, they were wealthy and influential after

all. But how could someone like Martina, a woman who only relied on men, have possibly
owned such clothing? There was definitely something fishy going on!
Prejudices in the heart were like mountains that were hard to move. Once they had made up their minds about something, they
no longer sought answers but instead
stubbornly clung to their own preconceived ideas.
Unlike before, when Martina didn’t want to lower herself to Amy’s level, the situation.

had changed now. She had long declared that she had changed, that she was no longer the person who could be easily
controlled by others.
The reason Martina allowed others to manipulate her before was because she didn’t want to bring Benjamin with any discomfort.
But now, she was even willing to accept the idea of leaving him. So, what was there that she wouldn’t dare to do? People can
change.
Remember that Martina disappeared right under Benjamin’s nose for a whole month,
which shocked him to the core.
On an occasion like today, where guests were present, even if Elena was displeased, she could not physically retaliate, as it
would provide others with too much ammunition
against her.
But Martina was different. She had already let go of everything. If someone provoked .com fast update
her, she didn’t mind dragging them down with her.
As Elena prepared to unleash her full power, Martina unexpectedly stepped forward and firmly grasped her arm, pulling her back.
Elena looked bewildered, thinking that Martina had perhaps changed her mind again.
But who could endure such a situation? Amy had already pushed Martina to the limit.
“Martina

Before Elena could finish her sentence, Martina had already stepped in front of Amy
and slapped her across the face.
The sound of the slap was so casual, as if what Martina was doing now was just a normal and natural thing.
But without a strong backing, this act would be like walking the path of self–destruction. Many people couldn’t understand
Martina’s approach.
“Miss Paloma, it seems you conveniently forgot about what happened last time, huh? How come today you deliberately want to
tarnish me with such filthy words?” Martina’s beautiful eyes gleamed with a hint of contemplation, as if she was pondering
something. However, she swiftly dismissed it with a casual remark. “Oh, I understand now. It seems you haven’t truly learned
from our previous encounter. Shall I assist you in refreshing your memory?”
Amy didn’t say anything, but the unpleasant memory resurfaced in her mind with vivid clarity.
Many people could sense the flavor of gossip between these two.
Considering Amy’s fragile health, she rarely made public appearances. However, it was common knowledge that she was the
esteemed princess of the prominent Paloma family. Offending Amy was synonymous with provoking the wrath of the entire
Paloma family.
It must be said that this woman called Martina really had guts.
However, it was unfortunate that her temporary courage would only inevitably invite a more hostile situation ahead.
