Chapter 1871 Regain Consciousness

Hearing that, the waitress nodded eagerly.Zenith wanted to protest, but Ferris cut him off.“Alright, it’s not the time to argue about this. Let’s see what’s the deal with the message Ivanka had mentioned.”Mandy obliged. With a smug smile on her face, she held up Candice’s phone for everyone to see.The text message sent to Ivanka from Candice’s phone was shown on the screen.“Both witness and evidence point to you, Candice. What do you have to say for yourself?”Ferris was secretly relieved.Due to Ivanka’s disappearance and Candice’s grief, everything went smoothly and was according to plan.Ferris immediately ordered others to tie Candice up and throw her into the cabin.Throughout the whole process, Candice did not struggle or argue with them.“Everyone else will head back to their room immediately. You’re not allowed to discuss this matter further. I have called the cops. Once we reach the port, the police will step in.”The others were reluctant to follow his order,

Chapter 1872 Recovering

Michael paused. Even at that moment, he could still remember how anxious and horrified he had been when Ivanka had fallen into the sea and nearly drowned in the cold water.Fortunately, he had managed to save her in time.Michael shut his eyes. When he opened them again, clarity had returned to his eyes.He said, “Later on, you fainted. We both drifted to this place, where the locals saved us. You drank a lot of seawater and hurt your throat, so you need time to recover. This medicine is for your throat. It was a local remedy made from herbs.”As he spoke, he picked up the medicine and wanted to feed Ivanka.But she shook her head and turned him down.She reached out to take the medicine. “I’ll take it myself.”Since she had said that, Michael did not protest, but a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.The medicine tasted very bitter as Ivanka ingested it.Herbal medicine tended to be more bitter than pills. Even Ivanka frowned as she swallowed it.Perhaps the medicine

Chapter 1873 A Whole Different World

Just like that, Ivanka rested in the hut for three more days.Throughout that time, Michael was the one who brought her food and medicine.She was not sure how the remedy was made. It was very helpful regardless.Her throat slowly recovered everyday, and her body gradually regained its strength.But Ivanka realized that Michael always had some strange wounds on his body.He kept them covered at all times and refused to let her examine them.When Ivanka asked about the injuries, he would evade her questions.But the situation only lasted two days. His condition improved on the third day.On the fourth day, Ivanka stretched and said as she looked out the window, “It’s sunny today. Let’s go out for a walk.”Michael paused, but he did not say no to her suggestion.When they left the hut, they ran into an old lady.The old lady had a milkmaid’s yoke on her shoulders. She must have just collected water from somewhere.Seeing Michael, she greeted him warmly.Ivanka looked at him

Chapter 1874 Anais

Ivanka pointed to the house and turned to Michael. She asked, “Why is that house different from others?”Michael glanced at the house and snorted coldly.“It’s the village chief’s home.”Ivanka could tell he disliked the village chief, but since he did not elaborate, she naturally refrained from delving into this subject. She nodded, and the two kept on strolling.It was afternoon. One after another, more people left their houses to work.Even from behind, Michael and Ivanka looked like a match made in heaven.People started discussing this matter among themselves.“Are they the outsiders Mdm. Wright found the other day?”“Yeah, the lady is drop-dead gorgeous. I want her to marry my son.”“You wish! She and her man look so good together. Besides, Mdm. Wright has a son herself. You won’t stand a chance!”“Hey, stop running your mouths. Don’t forget that…”Before the person even finished, a shrill voice rang out. “Look good together?”Everyone looked toward the source of th

Chapter 1875 Protect Out Of Reflex

Even Anais, who hated her, had to admit that Ivanka was beautiful.Her beauty was unlike anything seen around here. It was rare, extraordinary, and one in a million.Ivanka casually took Michael’s hand, which made him grin. He tightened his grip on hers when he realized what she was doing.Ivanka looked straight at Anais and said, “Well, like this.”Anais became livid. She snapped her whip, and the sharp crack echoed through the air.Neither Ivanka nor Michael flinched. Both stood tall. They were unshaken and defiant.Anais raised the whip again and aimed it at Ivanka. The crowd tensed, and many shut their eyes. They were unwilling to witness the young, beautiful woman being hurt.Just before the whip struck, Michael caught it.Blood began dripping from his hand as it soaked through his fingers.Anais tried to yank the whip back, but Michael held on firmly. He refused to let her strike Ivanka again.Anais looked at him with a mix of hurt and disbelief. It was as if Michael wa

Chapter 1876 Difficult

After Ivanka left, everyone began discussing the incident.“Did Ivanka really just stand up to Anais?”“Looks like it.”“I was so nervous for her. I thought Anais was going to lose it and attack her. But after what happened, the village chief probably won’t let them off easily.”“Who knows? Let’s just hope they’ll be okay.”Ivanka was not concerned about how her words might have shaken Anais or what others were saying. She focused on supporting Michael as they returned to the straw hut.On the way, Michael leaned against her, using his injuries as an excuse for his difficulty walking.Despite his efforts to lighten the load, Ivanka still found it physically tiring to support his five-foot-eleven frame.She said exasperatedly, “You hurt your hand, not your legs. Do you really need to lean on me like this?”Michael did not retort. He merely muttered something about how badly he was injured.Ivanka sighed but did not say more. She continued to support him as best as she could.

Chapter 1877 Shift in Power

Ivanka could not help but think about Candice and the others.The company was probably in chaos. Ferris would surely try to take control.That was exactly what was happening.No one had expected such a huge upheaval after the celebration banquet.Ivanka was presumed to be missing after falling into the sea. Everyone blamed Candice for pushing Ivanka into the sea. As a result, Candice became the prime suspect and was being questioned at the police station.The police started investigating and even called the coast guard for help, but they still had not found Ivanka.The night was long and dark. They had searched for 72 hours and covered twelve miles, but there was no sign of her.Everyone knew, deep down, that Ivanka was unlikely to survive.Meanwhile, opinions were divided on whether Candice had actually harmed Ivanka.In the office, some people said, “It had to be Candice. The evidence is all there. Who else could it have been? She probably wanted to take over. Too bad Ms. Iv

Chapter 1878 He’d Be Dead by Now

Ivanka had a nagging feeling that something bad was about to happen.She told Michael about it, but he just shrugged and said, “Don’t overthink it. There’s no point in worrying right now. Just think of it as a vacation.”Ivanka did not argue further. She lowered her head and continued chopping the vegetables.A heavy atmosphere settled between them.These vegetables were picked a few days ago with Mdm. Wright. The wild greens here are delicious when served cold.Michael was chopping firewood nearby.He was quick to learn and picked up new skills easily.In just a few days, he was already doing it well.Each of them had their own tasks, and life was going well.To Ivanka, the only silver lining in this unfortunate situation was that Anais had not come to cause trouble again.In a way, it was nice to have some peace and quiet.Ivanka and Michael were even planning when they might steal the compass and make a run for it.However, someone oblivious had to show up.That morning

Chapter 1879 The Heroes Meeting

There was a commotion outside. Doska shouted into the yard with a thick accent, “Ivanka, I’ll definitely come back to marry you during the Heroes Meeting!”Then he screamed in pain.It seemed that Madam Wright had chased him off.When Madam Wright returned, she was muttering to herself. She was probably cursing Doska.Ivanka asked curiously, “Madam Wright, what is the Heroes Meeting?”Madam Wright hesitated. She looked uneasy and glanced at them before sighing. “Did you both hear that?”They did not answer, but their silence spoke for itself.Madam Wright muttered, “I told you Doska was a troublemaker. I told him not to come. Now look at what happened.”Her usually rosy face turned pale. It left Ivanka more confused.Michael was just as confused.Madam Wright sighed again. She looked at them seriously and asked, “Do you really want to know?”Michael looked at Ivanka, and she nodded.Madam Wright locked the yard gate and then walked toward the house.As she walked, she said

Chapter 1880 Decision

Mdm. Wright was so furious that she had a strong urge to drag Doska back and continue to give him a beating.“Outsiders can participate,” she explained. “There’s no rule against it.”Ivanka and Michael exchanged a glance. Without a word, they both knew what the other was thinking.If the Heroes Meeting was so important and meant so much to the village chief, they could use it to ask for the compass.Mdm. Wright hesitated momentarily before continuing, “This competition is meant to find brave warriors. Not only is it incredibly dangerous, but as outsiders, you’ll be targeted more aggressively, especially by Anais. She can’t compete by herself, but she has three older brothers.”Hearing this, they both understood how dangerous it would be for Michael to participate.The competition might allow outsiders, but it would not be fair and would put them at significant risk. It even seemed like a death trap, especially with Anais involved since she was the village chief’s daughter.It al
