"I'm hot. There's nothing I can do about that."
Eugenia thought that Connor was praising her, so she replied proudly.
Connor looked at the expression on Eugenia's face and felt a little helpless. He didn't know what to say.
"Connor, looks like our fate is intertwined. We actually et again…"
Jeanette ran toward Connor and said to him with an excited expression.
"I guess so. Every ti I et the two of you, nothing good seems to happen…"
Connor replied with a smile.
Although Honduria wasn't very big, Connor still felt that it was rather fated that they were able to et each other again.
"Yeah. I don't know what's going on. Recently, we keep eting people who would harass Eugenia…"
Jeanette nodded.
"What are you doing here?"
Connor asked them softly.
"What else? The two of us ca here to sketch and then go to the holiday villa on the mountain to rest for the night before leaving tomorrow. However, for so reason, the holiday villa is closed. It seed that it was waiting to welco a very important person, so the two of us were going to go down the mountain to find a place to stay. That was when, we t those people just now!"
Jeanette looked at Connor and explained.
"I see!"
Connor lightly nodded.
"By the way, are the two of you going to the villa too? If you're going to the villa, I advise you not to waste your energy. Co down the mountain with us. I heard that there's a restaurant nearby that serves pretty good food. I'll buy the two of you a al as a thank you for saving today!"
Eugenia said to Connor.
"Maybe next ti. The people in the villa are waiting for . If I don't go over today, they will probably be very disappointed!"
Connor laughed and replied.
"Stop bragging. Are you saying that this villa is not open to the public because of you?"
Eugenia pursed her lips and said with a speechless expression.
"That's right. They are closed because Mr. McDonald is their guest. You'd better leave as soon as possible!"
Chieko replied expressionlessly.
"See you ladies!"
Connor waved his hand at Eugenia and Jeanette, then continued to walk up the mountain.
"Eugenia, is what Connor said true? Is the villa really closed to welco him?"
Jeanette blinked and asked Eugenia with a puzzled expression.
"Connor is a braggart. If it wasn't a particularly powerful big shot, how would they have closed the villa? Even the head of my family doesn't have such power. Don't listen to Connor's nonsense!"
Eugenia pouted and replied, then muttered to herself, "I wanted to buy him a al, but since he doesn't appreciate it, then forget it. More money for !"
Jeanette looked at the backs of Connor and Chieko, and she was a little hesitant. Then, she whispered to Eugenia, "Eugenia, why do I feel that Connor didn't seem to be joking just now? Were the people of the Mount Lushmore Villa really preparing to welco Connor?"
"Who do you think that Connor is? The boss of Mount Lushmore Villa has a very terrifying background. He won't make such a big fuss over a foreigner…"
Eugenia said absent-mindedly.
"But the woman beside Connor is not ordinary either. She even knows people like Gaius Low!"
Jeanette said in a low voice.
Eugenia looked a little helpless. Then, she said lightly, "Gaius Low is not a big figure in Honduria at all. It's not a big deal for that woman to know him. Additionally, even if Mount Lushmore Villa is preparing to welco Connor, it has nothing to do with us. Connor didn't invite us to go there with them."
"That's true. If Connor were really able to enter Mount Lushmore Villa, then he would have invited us to go together!"
Jeanette felt that Eugenia's words were sowhat reasonable, so she nodded lightly and continued, "Then Eugenia, where are we going now?"
"Where else can we go? Let's hurry up and go down the mountain and find a place to stay…"
Eugenia seed to be angry at Connor for rejecting her, as she pouted and said.
When Jeanette saw Eugenia like this, she could not help but smile lightly. She sighed to herself. This was the first ti she had seen Eugenia get angry because of a guy.
...
On the other side, Connor and Chieko continued to walk toward the Mount Lushmore Villa.
At this mont, Chieko was still very nervous because she did not know if Connor would be able to survive this ti. After all, people like Jasper Wilkins were not so easy to deal with.
Jasper was a regional person-in-charge of Rockefeller, so his connections were terrifying. Since the other party already knew that Connor was coming, but did not choose to leave, this ant that Jasper was very likely to have already made plans to deal with Connor.
As the two of them got closer and closer to Mount Lushmore Villa, Chieko realized that there were fewer and fewer tourists around.
When the two of them were about to reach the top of the mountain, there was already no one around. They could only hear the faint chirping of birds.
The atmosphere was a little strange, and Chieko couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She deliberately slowed down and followed closely behind Connor.
Chieko knew very well that her life was in Connor's hands. If Connor encountered any danger today, she would definitely die.
However, Chieko had no intention of retreating because she knew that following Connor was her only way out.
If not for Connor's help, then she would not have been able to get revenge at all.
A mont later, Connor and Chieko finally arrived at the Mount Lushmore Villa.
In the past, the Mount Lushmore Villa was very lively. Many tourists could be seen coming in and out of the villa. Although the Mount Lushmore Villa was very expensive, the business of the Mount Lushmore Villa had always been very good in Honduria, a place where rich people gathered.
However, the Mount Lushmore Villa was no longer as lively as before. On the contrary, it gave people a very cold feeling.
It was so cold that it made people shudder.
Moreover, because they were at the top of the mountain, the Mount Lushmore Villa gave people the feeling that it was shrouded in a thick fog, which made the Mount Lushmore Villa even more mysterious.
"Jasper Wilkins is here, right?"
Connor turned to Chieko and asked softly.
