Chapter 142
The others were appalled at the tennis proposed by Eliana. They did not want to accept it and thus no longer wanted to fight Elians
“Fine. You can be the team leader since
ce you want it so much.” The group conceded.
“Let’s log on tomorrow and play a few games. I want to see how good all of your skills are.” Eliana suggested.
It rained all night, yet Elana slept soundly.
Eliana woke up naturally and went downstairs to the table where she was hit by the smell of scrambled eggs, waffles, and toast
Zeus and Hera had been brought down by the servant and were placed on the metal rack.
Owen saw her come down and asked gently, “Did you sleep well!
Eliana stretched, “I slept well, how about you, Owen?”
I did too. It rained last night, did the thunder disturb your Owen asked.
“No, I was sound asleep,” Eliana replied.
The servant brought her breakfast and Eliana sat down to eat
After a while, Cameron and the others consecutively came down from upstairs as they greeted, “Good morning. Eluna”
They pulled out their chairs, sat down, and had breakfast ingether
Owen had found out yesterday that they were going to play in the college sumament together,
usd thift all the computers from ef
Thus, he had asked the servants to rearrange the game room m
the bedroom into the game room
Thomas Book a sip of milk and said, “I was so restless all night. The thunder and lightning made it hard to sleep soundly”
Landon hummed in affirmation. “If it’s this bad here, I can’t even imagine what it was like on the island next door”
“Don’t worry, if you want to leave the island, you can take the Sunrise Owen reassured.
Durn
Thomas nodded. “That’s true.”
On the other side of the island, Wendy had woken up and realized that the servants had not prepared breakfast.
Additionally, all the servants had disappeared, causing Wendy to shout in anger.
Then, a servant emerged from the wine cellar in the basement, dripping with sweat
Wendy questioned, “What are you all doing You haven’t even made breakfast
The servant said anxiously, “Miss Hall, there’s big trouble. The heavy rain last night flooded the wine cellar. We are trying to salvar
Wendly was stunned for a second. “The cellar is flooded! How is that possible? How could the rain leak into the cellar! You must be joking”
Coincidentally, Shane came down from upstairs and asked, “What’s going on!”
“Shane, she just told me that the wine cellar in the basement was flooded,” Wendy replied.
“It’s Gooded!” Shane strode over, ready to go down and take a look
Wendy also followed closely behind. She lifted her skirt and went downstairs to take a look.
the
The servant followed behind them. As soon as the three of them went down the stairs, they saw that the originally spacious wine cellar was now flooded with water that reached their ankles
Almou all the wine barrels on the ground were soaked. Unfortunately, it is a well–known fact that wine is ruined once you soak it in water.
The servants were trying to salvage all the salvageable wine from the shelves, putting them in basins to be carried out together later.
Chapter 142
Shane was shocked. “How did this happen!”
Wendy’s mouth widened. “Did it really food? Where did this water come from! The ground!”
The servants looked distressed. “Miss Hall, Mr. Hall, it was already like this when we came down this morning, so we hurried to save what we could. This has never happened before. We don’t know how it happened.”
Shane frowned deeply. He knew that water coming up from the ground could only mean that the underground soil structure had loosened. Otherwise, there was no way the water could have seeped in
However, this did not make sense to Shane. A very light waterproof coating should
been applied when the basement wine
cellar was built.
If water could seep in, it means that the soil structure outside is already loose. Shane knew that the waterproof coating could serve as a layer of protection, but it would not be able to do that forever. Shane wondered if the island had finally reached its limit after all these years.
Shane felt that something was wrong. He quickly purned around and went upstairs to find out what was going on
Meanwhile, Wendy stood on the steps with disgust.
She had yet to realize the seriousness of the situation and instructed the servants, “Hurry up! This wine is very expensive!” Hannah used to host events for people in the circle on this island. The wine kept here costs at least a few millions of dollars.
After speaking, Wendy also went upstairs.
“My mood was ruined so early in the bloody morning, just like this shitty weather. I have been on this island for more than a month and it just had to rain heavily last night. Wendy thought sourly.
“Nothing good ever happens when I run into Eliana that bitch. What bad luck!‘ Wendy thought
Without a servant to make breakfast, Wendy had to make do with some bread and milk from the fridge.
Then she sat on the sofa and surfed the internet on her phone.
Shane was upstairs looking up information, First, he investigated the island’s history, then he tried to call Hannah to verify. Unfortunately, Hannalt was already on set and didn’t answer her phone.
Shane did not study geography, but his gut cold him that this should not be happening on the island and that something must be wrong.
“Could it be that the renovation wasn’t done properly? No, even if the renovation was not done properly, it would not be leaking Shane thought
Shane glanced at the increasingly heavy rain outside. He had a very bad feeling. If it was already flooded, he could barely imagine what would become of the island if the downpour continued
Unfortunately for Shane and Wendy, they did not have the Sunrise to escape the island.
As Shane care downstairs, Wendy greeted him with a casual question, “Shane, what’s going on? Did you figure out why there’s a flood?”
Shane pursed his lips. “Wendy, could you check the weather forecast How long would this downpour last?”
“Oh,” Wendy acknowledged and quickly checked her phone. “It’s going to rain for another week.”
“Another week!” Shane’s heart skipped a beat.
Wendy sensed something was wrong from Shane’s tone and quickly asked, “Shane, what’s wrong?”
Shane walked over, poured himself a glass of water, and then spoke to Wendy calmly, “What I’m about to tell you is just my guess, so don’t get too worked up
“Okay go on,” Wendy said.
“I suspect this island is sinking,” Shane said matter–of–factly.
shock
“What?” Wendy exclaimed in shoc
The shock caused Wendy to jump off the sofa. “How is that possible? No way, this is an island, not a skyscrapert How could it collapse!”
Shane knew Wendy would react this way and said helplessly. “I said, this is just my guess, why are you so worked up? You know that this is an island What is the thing Blooding the basement then?”
Wendy hesitated momentarily before guessing. “Seawater!”
