Chapter 161 The Crumbling Hope

Violeta recalled when she had taunted Hattie during their last gaming session.

Imagining her upcoming meeting with Hattie, she wondered who would be embarrassed.

"Whatever. If they come, they come. It's got nothing to do with us."

Liam, glancing at the rain splattering against the window. He never thought the island would sink, but here they were.

At first, he didn't want to run into them, but now it seemed unavoidable.

Niall tried to ease their concerns. "Rest assured. Hattie, her brother, and the other servants from the island will stay in the house next to the villa. Once the rain stops, they'll leave. Our staff will bring them meals daily so they won't bother you."

"That's a relief," Liam replied.

As the White Sunset docked, Hattie was so emotionally overwhelmed that her tears threatened to fall. "Benson, look at that enormous yacht! Dad must have sent Niall to rescue us. Let's hurry and get on board."

They boarded the White Sunset together with the other servants on the island.

Hattie had been pondering how they'd managed to get on the yacht before, but she never expected to board it in such a sorry state.

Although she was embarrassed, a flicker of pride ignited within her.

Once aboard, Hattie wasted no time. She struck poses from every angle, snapping photos and pairing them with haughty captions before posting them online.

Before they arrived at the island, she crafted a plan. As soon as she saw Niall, she'd chat with him, aiming to leave the best possible impression, maybe even charm him.
