Chapter 540 The Cost of Misjudgment

Koen was shocked by Nathaniel's unexpected behavior and quickly followed him into the fountain.

The Saeville Artificial Island Project, overseen by Technologent Group, featured various structures designed by Freya.

Notably, the fountain in the garden of the exhibition center was a large musical fountain, about half the size of a football field.

The marble steps around the fountain were still wet, indicating recent use, which made searching for anything in the water even more challenging.

The fountain's design included flowing water at the bottom, making the pool deep but not deadly.

Nathaniel, who stood nearly six feet, three inches tall, found the water rising above his knees.

"Mr. Nathaniel, get out! Let me help you look. Are you searching for the gold chain from earlier?" Koen urged, his voice filled with urgency.

Nathaniel, nearly frantic, kept his head down and didn't respond. He repeatedly reached into the icy water, feeling around without any clear direction.

Koen, increasingly alarmed, was concerned about Nathaniel's worsening health due to the stress from his issues with Mrs. Morgan. Prolonged exposure to the cold water could be dangerous.

"Hey! What's going on?" Two security guards approached, bewildered by the sight of someone searching through the fountain in the middle of the night.

Their flashlights revealed Nathaniel and Koen. The guards recognized Koen, who often supervised the project for Technologent Group.

"Mr. Koen?"

The guards were stunned. Seeing Nathaniel, the company's top executive, in the fountain left them speechless. What on earth was happening?

"Why are you still just standing there?" Koen shouted, "Get more people to help look for the item!"

The two security guards hurried off to fetch additional help.

In no time, the area around the fountain was filled with people. They stood on temporary chairs, using powerful flashlights, searchlights, and even lighting drones.
