Felicia looked anxious and quickly covered the microphone on her phone, but those words still reached my ears
clearly. | couldn't help but frown.
The last t| went to pick up Felicia from her company, | found out that she had been bullied by sof her
team members. | had given them a good talking-to, hoping they would learn their lesson. | thought they had
backed off after that, especially since Felicia hadn't mentioned it again. However, it seemed like things were
getting worse.
"Felicia, are they still bullying you?" | asked.
"No!" she quickly denied, then smiled reassuringly. "They're just being petty with their words. Don't worry, it's
fine. | can handle it. I'm an adult now, and I'll face situations like this all the time. | can't always rely on you to
solve everything, William. | have to grow up."

Her words made sense, but starting from scratch and handling this on her own wouldn't be easy.
| told her, "You need to take care of yourself. If anything gets out of hand, contactimmediately, okay? Also,
for that cruise event, sendall the details-time, place, and the nof the cruise. I'll check it out, and once
I'm sure it's safe, you can go."
"Okay," she replied, nodding obediently.
After hanging up, she quickly sentthe information, which | then forwarded to Alan for further investigation.
| knew all about those types of cruise events. They often stirred up trouble, and sometimes even led to fatalities.
Since the attendees were mostly from wealthy families and the events took place on international waters,
everything was kept private. Even if something serious happened, no one would take responsibility.
On those ships, beautiful women were often at the mercy of others, with no opportunity to escape.
| couldn't let Felicia be exposed to that kind of danger for no reason.
Just then, a hand waved in front of me. | looked up instinctively and saw Crystal smiling at me.
"You look so stressed out. How can a cruise event be scaring you this much? | know the one Felicia mentioned.
Don't worry, it's not what you think," she said with a grin.
| was taken aback. "You know about it?"
Crystal nodded. "Yeah, everyone in the circle knows. A lot of people have been invited, and I've got an invitation
too, but I'm not going. | heard it's being hosted by a wealthy heir from Cyelar, who's planning a romantic
proposal. Since it's a proposal, things should be fine. If there was any risk, his fiancée wouldn't agree to marry
him."
If that was the case, | felt relieved.

| would go and check it out myself in three days.
Felicia had been so busy, and | wasn't sure when I'd be able to see her again. Perhaps being on the cruise in a
romantic setting would work in our favor.
I didn't know what it was, but | had been thinking about it a lot lately. The more | thought about it, the more
eager | became.
Over the next three days, Crystal found ways to contactevery now and then. Thankfully, she chose times
and places where there weren't many people around. Otherwise, | was sure her pursuit ofwould have
becthe talk of the whole school.
Before | knew it, three days had passed. | got my clothes ready, packed a simple bag and drove my V8
Koenigsegg straight to the neighboring city to meet Felicia.
Halfway there, | suddenly got a call from Crystal.
"William, something's happened!"
