Chapter 132
Thomas and the others In Tong known about Chen’s island resort but never had the chance to visit.
Suying on the island was peaceful and impressive, but life there lacked the city’s vibrancy. It was their first time visiting the resort, and if not for this summer vacation, they might not have been interested in the island.
Eliana, who used to get acne from grilled meat, found the lunch mainly seafood, light and refreshing this time.
Over lunch, Adam tumed to Owen with a curious question “Are those islands nearby privately owned! I wonder if we might even know someone
After a moment’s thought, Owen replied, “Many foreign businesspeople have bought islands herr–you probably wouldn’t know them. Your father dealt with a few. Oh, I remember now! A female celebrity from Whartonburg bought an island nearby, too.
Landon asked, “A celebrity? Who is in What’s her name?”
Thomas urged Owen, Think about it quickly.”
Cameron paused mid–sip, seeming somewhat intrigued.
The memory was a bit hazy, and it took Owen a moment to recall the last name. “I think it’s Sommer,” he said, “or maybe something similar… I can’t quite remember
Fliana was fracking open a crabs and casually said, “Hannah Sommer?”
“Oh, right, that’s her, Owen said, casually drizzling lemon juice over the crab meat on his plate. “They offered me the neighboringisland when it was for sale, but I wasn’t interested.”
Eliana asked, “Why not?
Owen explained. That island was filled in later. Initially, a large natural pit was in the middle of the island, and such pits aren’t suitable for building a reson. The surrounding bands were sold uff, but this one didn’t sell, so they filled in the middle and put it up for sale.
“Because that island is very close to mine, the real estate agent came to ask if I wanted to buy it, offering a forty percent discount. I declined because land added later is stable. Even if it seems fine now, what happens if the ground shifts years later and that section sinkst
“What could we do? Besides, the weather on the sea is unpredictable. A typhoon could leave us stranded. And those are just the immediate concerns, without even considering the filled–in land”
If Owen hadn’t mentioned it, Eliana would never have known the entire story behind the island Wendy had boasted about. The island was quite valuable, and with a forty percent discount, it was a bargain. No wonder Hannah had bought it, the deal likely attracted her.
Unfortunately, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for..
Eliana blinked and said, “I have a classmate who lives on that island.”
Adam said, “Elna, you’re talking about Wendy, right?”
Flaana nodded. “Yes, before summer break, Wendy mentioned that her mom had bought an island and that her family would spend the whole summer there. She’s probably still there. I wonder if her mother did any research before buying the island.”
Adam’s gaze darkened slightly. “It’s up to her.
Landon said. “Alright, enough about that. The yacht will be here in the afternoon. Let’s go have some fun on it.”
“Let’s raise our glasses! Cheers! Everyone lifted their glasses and toasted together.
When Sunrise arrived on the island, the massive super luxury yacht appeared before them, living up to its reputation as the largest yacht in the
Everyone boarded to tour it, and it was truly enormous. It had five levels, with two helipads on top, a swimming pool, and even a speedboat at the bottom that could be launched anytime.
It took quite some time to tour the entire yacht. After the tour, everyone relaxed on the lounge chairs on the deck, enjoying the sunbathing.
On the neighboring island, Wendy noticed the massive yacht approaching. The Sunrise was so immense that she didn’t need binoculars–she could see it clearly with the naked eye.
Chapter 132
“Why is there such a huge yacht over there! Is that a yacht or a ship?” Wendy sat up from her chair, surprised, and pointed towards the distant Sunrise, asking.
The servant nearby respectfully replied, “Miss Hall, that’s Sunrise; someone
Wendy frowned. “Who owns it?” she asked.
e owns the private yacht from next door.”
She was unsure who lived on the neighboring island, as several affluent individuals inhabited the surrounding islands. After a brief pause, servant clarified. “It’s Mr. Owen Davis, an oil tycoon.

Wendy was shocked when she heard the name and immediately remembered Owen, Thomas’s cousin from school. She was stunned to realize that Owen was her neighbor and owned a luxurious yacht.
Wendy’s mind drifted to the million–dolar bracelet Willow had flaunted on Instagram. Her gaze swept over the opulent yacht before her
A mere million–dollar bracelet paled compared to a yacht worth hundreds of millions, perhaps even billions. Wendy wished she could capture the yacht’s grandeur in a few photos, denying Willow the chance to outshine her,
With that thought, Wendy grabbed her phone, zoomed in, and snapped photos of the yacht sparkling in the sunlight. Turning to the servant, she asked. “Was my mother acquainted with Owent Had they met before?”
The servant shook their head. “No. Mr. Davis rarely comes over.
Wendy planned to have her mother introduce her to Owen so she could ask him for a ride to the neighboring island on his speedboat, allowing her to visit the yacht easily. However, she was surprised to learn that Hannah had never met Owen. It made Wendy’s plan much more difficult.
As Wendy was brainstorming a solution, Shane walked up from behind. “Wendy, I bought the tickets. We’ll be flying to Datora City in five days “Shane, you’re here! Take a look at that yacht over there. Have you ever seen such a big yacht before?” Wendy asked.
Shane glanced over and immediately spotted the yacht in the distance. After a moment, he said, “When did it arrive? It’s huge, definitely the first time I’ve seen one like this.
Wendy said. “Just now! It’s parked un the island next to us. And do you know who owns the island next door!”
Shane asked, “Who owns it!
Wendy replied, “It’s Oven Davis! The youngest oil tycoon in history, who inherited his grandfather’s oil fields, the one we saw in the financial magazine!”
Shane’s attention drifted as Wendy’s interest in Owen became apparent Wendy had moved from Whartonburg to the inland, motivated to find a wealthy husband who could maintain her social standing.
However, the well–known wealthy men were either old enough to be her father or unattractive, Only Owen left a deep impression on Wendy, who was exceptionally handsome.
