Chapter 906

Sylvia was taken aback. "What do you want them to do?"

Franklin took her hand and lightly kissed it. "You'll replace out soon enough."

He looked down at her pretty face. She hadn't slept all night, and there was a faint blue tint in her eyes, but she still seemed alert.

"Or we could rest for a bit," Franklin suggested, turning to Paul. "We were up late last night; take some time off."

With that, he led Sylvia back to the lounge in her office.

Sylvia was exhausted now that the kids were safe and out of harm's way.

She snuggled into Franklin's arms and closed her eyes.

Franklin lay beside her on the bed, replaying everything that had happened since yesterday like a movie in his mind.

Especially when Sylvia jumped from the plane - he couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful she looked at that moment! It was breathtakingly stunning!

He gazed at Sylvia again; she looked peaceful with even breaths indicating deep sleep.

After watching for some time, Franklin slowly closed his eyes too.

Meanwhile outside another hospital room door stood James and Romeo - best friends who had just arrived together ready to enter.

"If it weren't for Sylvia and your brother," Romeo said angrily while staring at his phone screen. "We would have died already!"

"How dare they make a false countercharge?" James added furiously but tried to keep calm as well. "It's outrageous."

Some patients were awake while others remained asleep inside their rooms as they listened intently upon hearing what their parents had done.

Mauricio couldn't believe what he heard. "What does this have anything to do with you guys? I wanted to explore by myself! The decision wasn't forced upon us by you two."

"Never mind," Mauricio sighed before dialing his mother's number on his phone instead. "Mom? I'm awake now... Where did you go? You weren't here taking care of me?" Mauricio's mother was one of those middle-aged women who asked for compensation. "My boy! You're awake! Mommy will be right there soon; Mommy is busy outside so you eat eat something first if you're hungry."

She hung up after saying this much leaving Mauricio with mixed feelings about everything happening around him lately...

Mauricio turned to James. "It was your brother and sister-in-law who saved me. I can't repay their kindness more. I should repay a life-saving favor, but my mom did something so shameful." Half an hour later, several videos appeared on Twitter.

Almost all of the teenagers in the videos were wearing hospital gowns. They introduced themselves as one of the 18 hikers who decided to go on this adventure together, not because James and Romeo forced them to do so. "I'm already 18 years old, so I take full responsibility for everything I do," one teenager said. "Therefore... it's not true that James and Romeo are solely responsible for what happened. We appreciate everyone's concern for us, but it's just not like what you think."

"We planned this expedition as our graduation trip to end our college lives beautifully," another teenager explained in the video. "However, we encountered terrible weather conditions and extremely dangerous environments there. We almost froze to death if it weren't for Mr. Maskelyne and Miss Andrews saving us. I'm very grateful to them."

This is a clarification video.

It clarified the truth about what happened.

And they also slapped their parents' faces hard for causing trouble.

A boy named Tyshawn even recorded a video where he said a few words at the end. "Dad, Mom, you're kind-hearted, brave and honest people in my eyes. I don't understand why you participated in slandering my lifesavers too. I hope you'll stop hurting them. If it weren't for them, your son might be dead by now."

Meanwhile, on Morningbreeze website, the person in charge saw these crazy viral videos being shared online again, and he was dumbfounded.

He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and rushed into meeting room, to scold those teenagers' parents, "How could you handle things like this? Why didn't you control your own kids? Letting them talk nonsense on social media?"

"What?" Mauricio's mother looked at him blankly. She usually worked at a small company earning money without high salary or broad knowledge. She only looked through certain social media platforms occasionally, and she had no idea about hot topics or trends online. Now, she just wanted to get her remaining money back from him

She not only had one child, but also gave birth to a second child a few years ago. Although Mauricio has already gone to college, her younger sister is only five years old. Therefore, the family burden is quite heavy.

So she was even more eager for money.

"What are you pretending not to understand? Let me tell you, if things go wrong, don't expect to get the rest of your money. You have to pay back the money I gave you before!" The person in charge almost pointed at them and scolded them.

Mauricio's mother was frightened. She didn't dare look directly at the person in charge and could only explain softly. "There must be some misunderstanding, Mr. Ritter, please don't be angry..."

It was completely different from her arrogant attitude when she argued with Sylvia and Franklin earlier.

Tyshawn's father became anxious as soon as he saw those videos on Twitter that included his son.

"Don't worry Mr. Ritter," he said anxiously."We will handle this matter well."

What a joke! Morningbreeze website paid them money equal to their annual income.

Two hundred thousand dollars was not a small amount of money. For an ordinary salaried family like theirs who earn only a few thousand dollars per month, it was like winning the lottery!

Now they had taken 100 thousand dollars. The angrier he got thinking about it, the more humble he became.

"Mr. Ritter, my child doesn't know any better. You shouldn't be angry. We'll go back now and let them delete the video."

"No need to go back. I have a document here. Just do what's written on it." The person in charge of Morningbreeze Website smiled evilly. He threw a document in front of these parents, "I'll send reporters over later. Remember what you want to say. Do you understand?"

"Understood."

"Okay. Don't worry."

These parents nodded obsequiously and sent him out of the conference room.

The person in charge saw how spineless they were, and sneered contemptuously.

They were really just trash who had never seen any real money.

Twenty thousand dollars made them obedient.

It's as if they've never seen any real wealth before!

As the sky gradually darkened, the streetlights came on and the moon quietly climbed up to the treetops. A gentle breeze lifted the sheer curtains, and a beautiful woman lying in bed slowly opened her eyes. She was awakened by a waft of fragrance.

Sitting up, she looked a little dazed. Was that food she smelled? Her stomach seemed to be growling.

Sylvia got out of bed and noticed that the door to the lounge was open. She slipped on her slippers and walked out to see a table full of steaming delicious dishes. Franklin was personally placing the last dish on the table from his cart.

His tall figure stood straight with his back facing her as he wore a black shirt with rolled-up sleeves, looking clean-cut and professional while serving food with skillful ease - so handsome it felt like watching him in an epic movie!

Oh my goodness! He's too good-looking!

While Sylvia let her mind wander for just a moment, Franklin turned around and saw her standing there. He smiled at her warmly before beckoning towards himself, saying, "Come wash your hands, so we can

eat."

She stood still for just one moment gazing into Franklin's bright eyes before asking him teasingly "When did you become a chef?"

The man met Sylvia's gaze head-on, causing his heart to skip-a-beat, as he felt struck by those shining eyes.

He couldn't help but walk over towards Sylvia where he gently held onto her cheeks with dry yet warm palms saying "I only cook for you; my dear girl."

Franklin leaned forward until their foreheads touched each other while exhaling warm breaths across Sylvia's cheek, making it blush red as she took one step back, exclaiming, "I'll go wash up now."

A few minutes later, Sylvia returned sitting down at their table where Franklin handed over fork, saying, "This is Golden Restaurant's cuisine; I plan on opening another branch in Urgford soon so people can enjoy authentic Larro cuisine there too."

"That's not bad," replied Sylvia smilingly "Royal Galaxy should reopen within half year or so after its reconstruction finishes."

Franklin thought about all those talented employees working at Royal Galaxy who were capable enough they could easily run any business themselves without needing anyone else's help - Royal Galaxy was truly home for them all!

"Where are they now?" asked Franklin curiously.

Sylvia gave him an indifferent look replying flatly, "They're doing their own thing; don't tell me you think they only work at Royal Galaxy? It's just like home for them; now they've gone out into society."

Franklin felt the invisible contempt from his wife again, and he tried to save face by changing the subject. He picked up his phone and checked Twitter, only to see the latest trending topics.

#My child was threatened by Maskelyne Group

#The children aren't telling the truth

#Maskelyne Group has no conscience

The man furrowed his brows and clicked on one of them. He watched a video interview with some parents who were crying out for their children's innocence.

"My child is very innocent," Mauricio's mother sobbed. "He must have been threatened by Maskelyne Group."
