After losing his temper, Keegan wheezed lightly as he slumped down on the sofa.Clara stepped forward hesitantly and said softly, “Don’t be angry, Dad. We’ll always be able to find a way.”Keegan did not say anything. He was obviously tired.These days, there were partners, construction parties, migrant workers, and material suppliers to whom he owed money for the large amusement park project. They were all demanding to collect their final payment!However, Keegan had already invested all his money into this project earlier. He put everything into one basket as he thought that he would be able to realize his capital soon and earn ten times more than his investment as long as this project was successful.However, Keegan was placed in this desperate situation before he could even wait for that to happen!Keegan was very angry!He was even thinking that the reason why his large amusement park ended up in this state was all because of the Universal Atrium!His amusement park would
Colson spoke very quickly and clearly, rendering Keegan speechless!Some things simply could not be mentioned. There would not be much left if things were to be broken down and settled one by one.The corners of Colson’s mouth curled up slightly as he laughed and said in a mocking tone, “Weren’t you bent on letting that stepson of yours into the family tree? You even let your bodyguards deal with me just because of him, right? Well then, don’t come looking for me when you’re in trouble. Go to your eldest son.”Colson hung up the phone after saying that.Keegan was so angry that he almost passed out. He threw his cell phone a few meters away and cursed out of frustration, “Okay, great! All of you are taking advantage of my weakness to put me down! I’ve raised such an ungrateful brat! Why didn’t I strangle you to death earlier?!”Clara stepped forward kindly and persuaded, “Calm down, Dad. If Colson refuses to help, I believe that Jaime will have a solution!” Keegan hummed slightl
Jaime glanced at Keegan expressionlessly, making Keegan feel a little guilty. Fortunately, Jaime did not say anything. Instead, he simply said, “Why is there a complete power outage only in the area of the amusement park in a big city such as Isonbert? Although it’s said that the power line is being rectified, the timing is simply too coincidental.”“You mean to say that this was caused by man?”Keegan thought about it carefully, and he slapped his thighs as he said furiously, “I already figured that there must be a villain who’s deliberately doing something bad because he’s jealous of my big project! I’ll definitely teach that person a lesson if I find out who he is!”“…” Jaime said indifferently, “The area of the amusement park has to be closed due to the power line rectification. Even if the circuit is restored, the impact caused by the road closure cannot be eliminated. You should purchase power generation equipment first. The more, the better. The amusement park can operate a
Colson snorted. He took the purchase order for the power generation equipment and then said with his usual arrogant tone, “How else can we deal with it? Get ready to swindle money out of him!” Simon silently gave Colson a thumbs up when he heard this.Soon, Keegan got the news that someone had bought all the power generation equipment in Isonbert before him. As such, there were no goods at all even if he wanted to buy them now.When Keegan heard this, he was so furious that everything went black before his eyes. As such, he could only ask Jaime, “What should we do now?”Jaime spoke lightly as he stated the facts calmly, “The amusement park project has already missed the best opening time. The most important thing right now is to restart the operation. Otherwise, the losses would only be higher. We have to purchase the power generation equipment no matter the cost. It’s absolutely necessary.”They had no other choice at this point. However, the problem now was not whether they s
What one said casually could be taken seriously by another. Colson had to admit that Sienna’s temperament seemed to have changed a lot ever since she fell into the water on the day of her birthday banquet. She used to be timid and introverted, but she seemed to be naturally confident and poised now, and she knew exactly when to advance and retreat. She could even go against people if she disagreed with them, and she could beat them up and seek revenge for the smallest grievance. She would not suffer any losses. She really seemed like a different person.However, regardless of how her temperament and character had changed, she was still his sister!Colson hummed a song as he was in a relaxed mood.…On the other hand, Sienna followed Harry out early in the morning.The two went to the Scott mansion to pick Lady Scott up first and then headed to the Zen Spirit Temple, which Lady Scott had been anxiously longing for, to pray for good fortune. When they reached the foot of the m
Harry seemed to be smiling, but the dim light in his extremely beautiful pair of eyes seemed to look particularly deep. Even if she explained the last incident to Lady Scott, what about the time before that then?The matter of innocence could no longer be explained.Harry leaned over and whispered in Sienna’s ear, “Nene, are you thinking of taking advantage of me and then abandoning me now?”Was she that irresponsible?No, he almost led her astray. She had never taken advantage of him, so how could she be abandoning him?Sienna did not even blink as she replied, “You’re wrong. When the time comes, it won’t be me abandoning you after having taken advantage of you; it will be us simply separating and parting ways.”Separating and parting ways? Harry smiled half-heartedly. He appeared to be smiling, but there was somehow a low air pressure around him and even the surrounding temperature had also instantly dropped by several degrees.Sienna sensed the danger, but she had no inte
The top of the mountain was very quiet as the two simply sat there in silence.The cool breeze blew the girl’s long hair, and the ends of her hair inadvertently swept over the man’s side profile. It tickled.Harry raised his brows.He turned his head to look at Sienna, and he saw that the girl’s cheeks were fair and flushed. He could still see her delicate and adorable appearance even in the backlight. Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly like the wings of a butterfly. Her lips had an extremely beautiful shape, and it was delicate and full. It was slightly red in color with an unparalleled allure. Harry suddenly said, “Nene.”“Hm?”Sienna subconsciously turned her head. She then suddenly felt a slightly cool touch on her lips. She was startled, and she then met Harry’s dark and deep eyes. The distance between them was extremely close, and she could even feel his shallow breathing.Did she accidentally kiss Harry’s face just now?Sienna stepped back.“Harry, you did it
Based on his clothes, he was an old Taoist priest.Sienna and the other party looked at each other.The old Taoist priest smiled and climbed up from the ground. He ignored the dirt on his body, guarded a bird egg with both hands, and explained to Sienna, “It fell. I wasn’t going to steal it. Don’t misunderstand…”It was not necessary for him to explain anything to her.Sienna shook her head, and she did not have the mood to continue walking in anymore. She turned around to leave.Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest raised his voice to stop her as he said, “Miss! Miss, this tree is rather tall, and I cannot climb it. Why don’t you do me a favor and send this bird’s egg up? I’ll draw a lot and interpret it for you in return!”Sienna turned around. Under her scrutiny, the old Taoist priest was still smiling, and he did not seem to think that there was anything wrong with him asking a young girl like her to climb the tree. Instead, he had a serious and expectant look on his face.
The wind blew, and there were wrinkles in the lake.Her heart was also in turmoil.Sienna looked away. Of course, she did not really mean to leave, not to mention, the things that she brought with her had not come in handy yet.Sienna broke away from Harry’s grip, then walked to the group of rocks where she had just sat down and picked up a bag on the ground which contained more than a dozen hand-folded paper cranes.There was a small candle on top of the paper cranes, and a paper-folded disc was placed underneath. The candles could be lit and then placed in the water. Sienna took out a lighter, lit a few, then put them in the water. After that, she looked at Harry, raised her brows, and said, “Here, want to do it together?”Harry sat down beside her. He looked at the delicate paper crane in his hand, then thought for a moment and asked, “Did you fold all these?” “Yes.” Sienna looked at the faint candlelight on the water and said slowly, “When I was young at about the age of e
Eagor was immediately excited. It flew twice around Sienna before returning to its nest.By a lake, a few kilometers away from Lang Garden.Harry’s eyelashes were half drooping under the moonlight. His thick eyelashes cast a layer of shadow on his eyelids, and his handsome face looked extremely secretive. It seemed as if he was covered with a layer of fog which was light and stunning, but it was impossible to see him clearly. Sienna sat down next to him.This was a group of rocks, which was cold and uncomfortable.But that was not the point. The point was that she was here.A trace of surprise flashed across Harry’s eyes, and there was also a certain emotion on his usually calm and unperturbed face as he asked, “Why are you here?” Sienna looked at the lake in front of her, raised her eyes, and said, “I can’t let you enjoy such beautiful scenery alone.”Under the moonlight, there were layers of mountains and rivers in front of them, and the neatly planted pines and cypresses s
Sienna paused for a moment and subconsciously replied, “Aren’t we going to Scott Mansion to see Lady Scott tomorrow?” “We are going to Scott Mansion to see my grandmother tomorrow. Just accompany me tonight, okay?”The corners of Harry’s mouth curled into a shallow arc, and the clear aura around his body dispersed. He was extremely gentle. “Okay?”Sienna keenly felt that Harry’s speech at the moment was different from usual, but she could not tell what the difference was. After a brief moment of hesitation, she declined, “It’s already very late. Let’s rest early.”“Okay.”Harry got up. He was still smiling as he said, “Goodnight, then.”He then left.The dining room instantly became quiet, and Harry’s invisible charming aura gradually dissipated. The crystal lamp above Sienna’s head did not move and was emitting a warm glow.Sienna wiped her mouth, then got up and left the dining room.When she was about to go upstairs to her room to rest, she inadvertently heard someone
‘At this time, an elderly pretty boy lost the light in his eyes.’‘The person who left the comment above should compensate me! You caused me to drop my mask because I laughed!’When the production team saw that the effect was so good, they decided to let Keegan move around in the virtual world longer before letting him down.It so happened that the live broadcast time was too short, and the viewers were reluctant to leave the live broadcast room because of the high popularity and the heated discussions. As such, they simply made Keegan perform a 360-degree spin!…When Sienna returned to Lang Garden, she received the income from this live broadcast. With Harry’s crazy reward and the accumulation of countless gift rewards that she had received from hundreds of millions of viewers, Sienna made quite a considerable income.In addition, this live broadcast was a great success. It had great popularity, and the Universal Atrium would also get a huge share of the profit.Sienna was sat
Quentin was stunned for a moment. He could not bear it, and he immediately stepped forward and carried Clara, then walked out without saying a word.After he left, Christina, who had been watching this scene, sneered and said, “Pfft, she’s really good at putting on an act. Clara is really a master when it comes to manipulating men.”The live recording stopped here.This was probably the shortest episode of the live broadcast of the large-scale reality variety program, Ninja Survival, and it was probably the most thought-provoking episode.Quentin brought Clara to the hospital.Hank went home with lingering fears.The other guests who also ‘died’ also dispersed in groups of twos and threes. Jonas tried to speak to Sienna, but Sienna ignored him several times. In the end, he could only bow his head and leave in frustration. The live broadcast this time was extremely popular, and many media and reporters were gathered at the entrance of the Universal Atrium.They flocked up fra
Jonas suddenly came to his senses. He let go of Clara’s hand and ran wildly in the direction of the mountain and forest!He would only be facing death if he were to go there in the face of such raging flames. It was even more likely that he would not be able to find Sienna anywhere.But he went anyway.Hank, who was on the beach, had sobered up and was witnessing everything that had just happened. When he looked at Jonas’s back, he mocked, “At least, he still has a conscience.”But at this moment, a person fell down from the mountain wall.She was covered in blood and bruises. It was Sienna.Jonas glanced at her inadvertently. The moment he saw Sienna, he stopped in time, ran over, and asked, “Sienna, how did you get hurt so badly?” Sienna pointed at the high mountain wall and said indifferently, “It’s good enough that I survived.” Hank gulped and made a bold assumption, “Sienna, you… you didn’t rock-climb all the way down, did you?”“Yes.” Sienna nodded lightly. When Ha
In Clara’s eyes, as long as she cried and acted coquettishly, everything would be over just like that.It was just like every other time in the past. However, what she did not expect was that Jonas, who was watching her cry, was indifferent as he asked her a question in a tone that was so calm that it seemed almost unfamiliar to her. “Clara, did you really take care of me?”“…” Clara’s face was instantly pale. When Jonas was unconscious, she was busy being intimate with Quentin in order to enhance and strengthen her relationship with him.Clara said that she took care of him, but in fact, she had only been sitting next to him. Moreover, she was not the first to find out that he was down with a high fever. “Jonas…”Clara wanted to explain, but Jonas interrupted her indifferently, “Clara, I was still conscious even when I was unconscious.”Because he was conscious, he knew of Clara’s indifference and contempt for him; because he was conscious, he knew that Clara and Quentin
Christina was already waiting for him. When she saw that Quentin had opened his eyes, she walked forward with a smile and described everything that happened when he was unconscious to him in great detail.Christina was afraid that Quentin would not believe her, so she deliberately borrowed the staff’s cell phone to view the archive of each time period of the live broadcast. “Quentin, come here and take a look.”…In the virtual world, not long after Jonas had carried Hank ashore, he heard a second explosion in the forest!He suddenly raised his head and looked toward the cliff. His heartbeat quickened in an instant, and his mind even went blank.He escaped, but what about Sienna?There was only one parachute cloth. He landed successfully with Hank, but what about Sienna?Jonas raised his head, and his eyes suddenly flushed red in an instant. He originally thought that Sienna was urging him to jump down because she wanted to do an experiment. As such, he never thought that he
‘It is a fact that Clara didn’t hesitate to push Jonas from behind so that she could escape when they encountered the red fire ants before. Is this also considered right? Doesn’t this give you chills or make you feel scared? ‘Let me ask you, what will you feel when you’re facing the person that you’re desperately trying to protect and she suddenly stretches out her hands to push you to your death? Can you still empathize with her then? Can you still praise her for being kind? I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.’When the super fan was done speaking, the live broadcast room was even more deadly silent.However, Clara did not know anything about this.When she was desperately running forward, the only thoughts in her mind were to escape as soon as possible, find rescue as soon as possible, and then go back alive…Although she liked Quentin and also wanted to marry into the Kane family and become the veritable young mistress of the Kane family, the premise was that she would have to sur
