Chapter 67 Still In The Water

• “Byron, the birthday party today will be held on the beach, and my parents will come later." Jane enthusiastically introduced the party activities to Byron as soon as he got off the ship, casually mentioning her parents’ arrival and hinting at advancing their wedding plans. However, their conversation was interrupted by a sudden exclamation from a distance. Both of them turned their heads to see Cora and Mia simultaneously falling into the water. “What’s going on?” Jane looked surprised and concerned, as if she was ready to rush to their rescue. But in reality, she didn’t move too quickly, as she had already coordinated this with Mia earlier. Meanwhile, a tall figure rushed to the scene even faster than her. “Byron?” Jane was taken aback, not expecting him to be so enthusiastic about such a small matter. But Byron wasn’t the only one who arrived at the scene.
• Eason was right there alongside him, concerned for Cora. After all, Mia’s weight was not light. Just as Eason was about to pull Cora up, a hand grabbed her arm, forcing her to pull up. Following that hand-up, he saw his uncle gazing intently at Cora. Even without makeup, Cora was unmatched by any other socialite, with a natural radiance that layers of cosmetics couldn’t replicate. Even with a wet face, she appeared alluring, with her watery eyes and her dress clinging to her figure, accentuating her curves. At this moment, she seemed like a siren—so enchanting. But what made Eason more uneasy was the gentle pat on Cora’s back from his uncle’s hand. “Uncle Byron, I’ll take care of Cora. You don’t have to bother,” Eason said.
• “Your fiancée is still in the water.” Byron didn’t even look at him, continuing to comfort Cora. After that reminder, Eason looked down and noticed Mia was still struggling in the water, waiting for his rescue. Hesitating for a moment, he finally pulled Mia up as well. “Eason, I just..." Mia’s words were interrupted by a coughing fit. She wasn’t pretending to be weak. She had intentionally bumped into Cora earlier to make her phone fall into the sea, and then she grabbed Cora’s hand tightly, leading her to a deeper area. During that process, Cora struggled, making Mia swallow a considerable amount of water and exhausting her strength. As a result, she struggled for quite some time before she could stand up again.
