Chapter 302 A Traveler Is Here

Deirdre found it cynical.

She could not sleep, so she felt about her closet for her trench coat and put it on before going downstairs.

When Madame Russell opened the courtyard door and entered, she had just arrived in the living room. She said hastily when she found Deirdre, “Why aren’t you in the house? Go back quickly. It’s freezing out

there.”

Madame Russell shuddered while she walked. “A traveler just got here despite the weather. It’s freezing out there, and there’s no telling why the traveler is here. He is dressed in branded clothes and drives a luxury car. However, he’s a very good-looking man, and his arrival caused quite a huge commotion.”

“A traveler?” Deirdre felt her heart racing.

Yes, he seems to be looking for someone and refuses to leave at all. He asked me a few questions when he saw me.”

“What did he ask?” Deirdre spoke anxiously, her face pale.

Madame Russell was stunned for a moment before she said, “In truth, he didn’t ask much. He asked about the situation in our village, the economic condition, and others. I found it strange because our village is known for being poor and desolate. It has already been close to six months since anyone new has entered our village.”

Deirdre clenched her fists tightly and felt her heart pounding in her chest. She was so anxious that she could hear her loud, rapid heartbeat, and she forced herself to calm down with great effort.

‘No, it can’t be… It can’t possibly be so coincidental. I’m already regarded as a dead person by everyone now, so how can Brendan possibly know that I’m here? Moreover, Madame Brighthall wouldn’t have. revealed my whereabouts to him.”

“What’s going on, Deirdre?” Noticing that something was off, Madame Russell stretched out her hand to caress Deirdre’s face. “Why is your face so pale all of a sudden? Are you sick?” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“No…” Deirdre forced a smile with great effort and asked, “That traveler… How tall is he? What does he look like?”

“His height? About 1.8 meters, I guess. He’s about Tobey’s height. As for his looks, he is good-looking, of course. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have caused a commotion.”

“1.8 meters..”

Before Deirdre could react, someone knocked on the backyard door suddenly. The door was not fully- shut, so the person took the liberty to open the door.

Deirdre etepped back abruptly and felt the urge to run subconsciously when she heard the person asking.” Hello, is this Elis Russell’s home?”

It was a stranger’s voice.

Deirdre’s act of running was frozen. Then, she heard Madame Russell say to her softly. “Deirdre, this is the person I was telling you about earlier. The one at the edge of the village.

Soon afterward, Madame Russell cleared her throat and replied to the person, “Yes, what’s going on? How can I help you?

The man walked forward smilingly and passed his business card “This is the situation. We’re a land development company from Eastgene, and we’re very interested in the plot on the hill We’re planning on

purchasing the land so we can develop it into a tourist region.

“The village head told us that you’re the person we should talk to when it comes to the hill area, sol would like to talk to you about that.”

“Ah! I see.” Madame Russell let down her guard and said, “Let’s talk inside then.”

Both of them entered the house while Deirdre was still standing at the entrance. She was only jolted back.

to reality when her body was trembling in the cold wind. She felt relieved.

So, it turned out that the people from Eastgene had taken a fancy to the hill.

Deidre was born here and knew very well that the future of this place would be wonderful if it was developed as a tourist region. Hence, she did not find the man’s arrival to be surprising

On the other hand, Madame Russell said in astonishment after the person left, “No one has taken an interest in Village Alnwick for centuries, yet the stars are aligned somehow this year. Someone has taken a fancy to that plot on the hill. If they develop the region, aren’t the residents going to benefit as well?” “That is of course.” Deirdre smiled and explained, “They will try to figure out ways to bring in the tourists. in order to make a profit after the region is developed. More tourists will come by then, and the villagers will be able to profit from selling local specialty products. It’s possible that the villagers here can make a good living from tourism.”
