“What’s wrong?” Ben asked when he saw Susan looking perplexed upon his return.
Susan shook her head. “Nothing much, just met a weird guy.”
“A weird guy?” Ben instantly became alert, “Male or female? What did he do to you?”
Susan looked at him amusingly. “A man. But he didn’t do anything, just asked a few questions.”
“A man! Asking questions?” Ben became even more vigilant. “Where is he?”
Ben seemed ready to confront the man.
“Don’t worry. He just asked a few questions.” Susan reassured him with a smile.
“What questions?” Ben inquired.
A hint of confusion flashed in Susan’s eyes, “Nothing special, just about my health and strength.”
Ben was puzzled.
*Probably he was just surprised to see a girl enjoying such intense rides, Susan said nonchalantly. After finishing her explanation, she smiled and suggested. I’m a bit tired. Let’s find a place to sit, okay?”
Ben, still feeling weak in the knees from the ride, quickly agreed.
At the nearest dessert shop.
As soon as Susan ordered, her phone started buzzing incessantly with messages.
She opened it and took a look.
It was all from Theresa.
[Susan, you really left me in the lurch. How could you just abandon me like that?
[Do you have any idea how annoying Thomas is!
[He said he was too lazy to walk and insisted on going on the Ferris wheel with me. Once would have been fine, but now it’s our fifth time! I said I wanted to leave, but he threatened to call our parents!
[Is he insane or what?!
[Ah, it’s the sixth time on the Ferris wheel. I’m losing my mind.]
Susan chuckled at the message and then calmly set her phone aside.

“Ben, let me tell you about…” Susan began to share the latest gossip with Ben when suddenly she noticed someone waving and smiling at her from behind Ben.
Susan’s smile twitched.
“The beautiful foreign lady, we meet again,” Allen approached them warmly, taking a seat uninvited at their table.
Ben looked at Allen expressionlessly, “What, do you want to be thrown out again?”
Remembering the experience of being thrown out last time, Allen’s scalp tingled.
But he composed himself quickly.
“Hmph, last time it was in the Storm Group, you could kick me out, but now we’re at an amusement park. You’re not the boss here, what right do you have to kick me out?”
“Is that so?” Ben glanced at Allen, then made a phone call.
“Yes, buy shares in this amusement park, as many as possible. It’s okay to buy it outright. I give you half an hour,”
Ben spoke calmly and hung up.
Allen felt a chill run down his spine. He stammered. “You… you can’t fool me. Buying an amusement park can’t be
that fast.”
Ben raised an eyebrow, saying indifferently. “Then just wait here.”
Allen’s smile froze on his face.
He sat there stubbornly, “Fine, I’ll wait.”
And then…
Before even half an hour had passed, the amusement park’s security approached Ben.
“Boss.” they greeted respectfully
Ben looked at Allen with a smirk. “Now, it seems I can throw you out again.”
Allen’s face paled instantly. “You can’t do this…”
Ben raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, “Throw him out.”
A shriek like a pig being slaughtered filled the air as Allen was dragged away, yelling, “Beautiful foreign lady, I will be back. For you, I will never give up.”
Susan remarked, “Is he really a prince?”

Ben quipped, “Probably got hit by a meteorite on the head at birth.”
Susan shook her head, not giving much thought to this little interlude.

“You will pay for treating a prince like this.” Allen, disheveled, was thrown outside the gate, issuing his final threat.
“A prince?”
However, the security guards only sneered and walked away without looking back.
Allen became anxious.
Was it their expression of disbelief in his royal identity?
Did they think he couldn’t possibly be a prince?
“Wait, I have ID, I can prove who I am…
But the guards didn’t stop for a second, leaving without turning back, as Allen thought about chasing after them.
Suddenly, Allen’s hand was abruptly grabbed.
“Who dares to grab me?” he snapped, turning around in frustration, only to find himself face–to–face with Eason’s
emotionless expression.
“Eason, it’s you!” Allen exclaimed as if seeing a savior, gripping him eagerly. “Quick, help me tell those security guards that I really am a prince.”
Eason pried Allen’s hand off, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, “What have you done?”
“It’s all because of that Ben!” Allen fumed. “When you suddenly disappeared, I wandered around and guess what? I was incredibly lucky to bump into Ms. Miller at a dessert shop.”
His eyes brightened as he spoke. “Ms. Miller is still so beautiful, just like the girl of my di
Eason’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “Then what happened?”
“I just went over to say hi. But that Ben, so detestable, insisted on separating a pair of lovers. He actually threw me out.” Allen recounted with a mix of indignation and self–pity.
Eason seemed to reach his limit, grinding his teeth. “Flirting with someone’s wife right in front of them, and you just got thrown out, not beaten up or maimed. You’re actually quite lucky.”
“Eason!” Allen looked at him in disbelief. “You’re siding with an outsider! You’re no longer my best friend. I’m going to remove you from my friend list.”
“The feeling is mutual,” Eason said, turning to leave.

“Hey, wait for me…” Allen jogged after him. “Eason, do you think Ms. Miller could actually be your sister?”

At the mention of Susan, a brief smile flickered across Eason’s face, but then his expression turned grave again.
“What’s wrong?” Allen asked curiously.
Eason pursed his lips. “After arriving in Coraland, I looked into Susan’s background. Her father is Carl, her mother is Jane, and she has a fraternal twin sister, Yana. Her family background is quite clear.”
“So, she’s not your sister?”
Eason hesitated. “I thought so too, but after seeing her today, I had this inexplicable feeling.”
“You saw her too?” Allen was surprised. “A special feeling? You’re not thinking of pursuing her, are you?”
Eason’s eyebrows twitched in irritation, and he couldn’t help but kick Allen lightly. “Nonsense! You know I love thrilling rides. I came to this amusement park specifically for the ‘Eternal Love‘ ride, known for its intense spins. While queuing, I discovered Susan was right in front of me.”
“And then?” Allen urged.
“Almost everyone gets off that ride looking pale as death, but not Susan. She came off looking radiant and energetic, as if she hadn’t had enough fun yet.” Eason recalled, his gaze softening as he thought of Susan’s sparkling eyes.
Allen was taken aback. “Apart from your family, there are such brave souls in the world?”
Eason chuckled. “I was surprised too.”
The Nicholas family has a unique gene, endowing each member, regardless of gender, with a robust physique and natural strength far beyond ordinary people. Furthermore, every generation, both men and women, have a natural aptitude for intense activities.
By this logic, Susan seemed like a natural–born Nicholas family member.
“There’s another thing, Susan has a rare blood type,” Eason continued, “So did my mother. But then, Yana also has a rare blood type. I’m not sure where Susan’s blood type comes from.”
