Chapter 789
Chapter 789:
The ship featured numerous amenities, including a shopping area, a cinema, and various dining options. Still, most passengers chose to explore the island, drawn by the Harris Group’s ambition to showcase their latest tourism venture.
As Maggie stepped off the ship, she scanned her surroundings while walking alongside Austin. She had messaged Yelena earlier but hadn’t received a reply.
Yelena’s usual promptness led Maggie to assume she was still asleep. Meanwhile, Monica sped through the crowd in her wheelchair, nearly colliding with Maggie, who had suddenly slowed her pace.
Out of nowhere, a figure dashed from the crowd, shoving Maggie aside just in time.
Monica, unable to stop, lost control as her wheelchair tipped over, sending her tumbling harshly down a nearby slope.
“It hurts so much!” Monica cried out, trapped beneath her overturned wheelchair, struggling to free herself.
“Mom, are you okay?” Austin called out in alarm, his voice tinged with worry. Distracted by a phone call, he hadn’t noticed the accident until it was too late to intervene.
Fortunately, Maggie was unharmed!
Austin turned to Yelena and expressed his heartfelt gratitude. “Thank you, Yelena,” he said sincerely. Without Yelena’s quick intervention, things could have turned out far worse for Maggie.
Maggie, still shaken but beginning to regain her composure, felt her heart pounding from the scare. In a worried tone, Yelena looked at Maggie and asked, “Mrs. Barton, are you sure you’re okay? Are you hurt anywhere p>
Maggie shook her head, reassuring her. “I’m fine, really p>

After confirming Maggie was unharmed, Yelena let out a relieved sigh.
She had noticed Maggie’s earlier message on her phone and was about to respond when Kaiden and Jarvis approached her to apologize.
Kaiden, ever refined and courteous, explained that a simple apology wasn’t enough. Instead, Jarvis would demonstrate his sincerity through his actions.
As proof of their intentions, they had prearranged a significant gesture: Jarvis would transfer three percent of his Harris Group shares to Yelena.
While three percent might seem minor, it represented a substantial stake in a company of such magnitude.
With such an offer, Yelena saw no reason to refuse.
This series of events had delayed her reply to Maggie’s message.
Suddenly, Maggie exclaimed, “Oh no, Monica p>
It was only then that Maggie and Austin remembered Monica. By the time they reached her, someone had already helped her up. Monica had sustained injuries to her hands and feet. Her ankle was sprained, and her hands were badly scraped from trying to break her fall.
Concerned, Maggie asked, “Monica, are you alright p>
In a voice filled with distress, Monica replied, “It hurts so much, Mrs. Barton. I’m in so much pain p>
She then turned her attention to Austin, giving him a pitiful look. Monica didn’t care much for others’ opinions, but Austin’s perception mattered deeply to her. She kept her gaze fixed on him until she noticed someone touching her hand.
