Kenneth Harper had always been a gentle person. He hugged Melody Princeton and consoled her patiently.

“It’s not your fault. I didn’t prepare in advance. I only arranged for land transport but I overlooked the geography here.”

It did not occur to Kenneth that parts of the mountain roads here were not accessible by car.

Now that they had left Lovell City so long ago, it would probably take a long time to arrange for helicopters.

Melody nodded. “It’s alright. I believe Tiffany will arrange for the helicopter to fly back to pick us up when they reach the destination.”

Kenneth did not say anything. He suspected that was highly unlikely.

With Tiffany’s vengeful personality, she was already very kind when she did not pelt them with fruits.

As it turned out, Kenneth was right.

Half an hour later, the helicopters did return.

However, the pilots refused to ferry the Harper family’s people on the grounds that they had to transport the supplies. As the remaining charity’s staff and the school’s coordinating team boarded the helicopters, the Harper family’s driver blurted out angrily, “Why is it they are allowed to board but we are not?”

Someone replied, These helicopters belong to the Kelley family. Do you have a problem with that?”

That riposte sounded oddly familiar.

Everyone was rendered speechless.

The Harper group had no grounds to complain. After all, they were here to do charitable work. It was only reasonable that the truck supplies and the staff in charge of distribution get priority.

The Harper group had neither donated funds nor contributed in other ways. The whole big entourage comprised mostly drivers, medics, and personal assistants.

In other words, they were just a bunch of spongers.

The rest of the people did not mock the Harper group for putting on airs yet the Harper group still acted all indignant as if they had been hard done by. Therefore, the Harper group could just continue the rest of the journey on foot for all they cared,

Kenneth’s face clouded over. He did not expect Tiffany to be so ruthless. He was so angry that his temples were throbbing.

Melody took the opportunity to comfort Kenneth. “It’s fine, Kenny. Let’s just treat it as an experience.”

“Yeah.” He smiled in resignation.
