The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Maren Was Becoming An Mystery To…

Wilbur was visibly shocked.

“I’m drinking water. Can’t you tell?” Maren replied, showcasing the bamboo tube in her grip.

Wilbur’s gaze sharpened. “You knew there was water here all along?”

“Maren is a genius!” Morris chimed in, excited to share the tale of Maren’s earlier discovery.

They had just approached the bamboo grove when Maren abruptly paused.

Observing from a few steps back, Morris noticed Maren skillfully assessing each bamboo. With a precise strike, she cracked one open, unleashing a stream of water.

“Maren, you mentioned something about how transpiration helps bamboo store water, right? Anyway, that’s

not the crucial part. What matters is we’ve got water now!“”

Praise was evident in every word Morris uttered. If not for Maren, he would be dehydrated like the others.

Wilbur gave Maren a contemplative look, then walked over to grab some bamboo to draw water.

The rest of the group, spurred into action, surged ahead to do the same.

Nadia hung back, and Wilbur assisted her by bringing water, allowing her to rest. The silence of the night made

even the smallest sounds, like sipping water, distinctly audible. Nadia undoubtedly heard everything Morris had

just explained.

The praise given to Maren stung her. In the past, she had always been the one to receive praises.

A weight seemed to press down on Nadia’s chest.

She stood among the elite of the military academy, and this field assessment was supposed to spotlight her

skills.

Yet, all eyes now turned to Maren.

Maren had always been indifferent about the academic field, consistently ranking at the bottom of their class and hardly engaging with any sophisticated reading material.

But what had she accomplished now? Not only had she pinpointed toxic mushrooms, but she had also located

a vital water source.

Such skills in wilderness survival were not widely known, and Nadia couldn’t shake the suspicion that something was amiss with Máren’s sudden expertise.

“You better stay on your foes, Maren, or else…” Nadia muttered.
