Life at The Top novel Chapter 2427

Since Rowan had arrived, Geena naturally did not want to linger at the banquet.

They had done what needed to be done and met the people they needed to meet. Staying longer would not serve much purpose.

Together with Morine, they bade farewell to the Warwick couple and then drove directly to Baghdad Airport.

It was midnight and the solitary moon hung in the west.

Outside the window, there was endless desert, adding to the sense of vastness and tranquility.

“Such a beautiful land and yet it’s going to be engulfed in war soon. It’s really heartbreaking…” Milos sighed, looking at the scenery outside the window.

Albert, however, smiled and said, “Each country has its own destiny, and all we can do is lament but not interfere arbitrarily.”

“All we can do is ensure that our own country doesn’t become the next lamb to the slaughter.”

Milos’s heart stirred upon hearing this.

In the moonlight, Geena’s profile looked particularly handsome, and Milos found herself blushing.

She gently lowered her head, thinking.

Morine, sitting in the backseat, noticed Milos’s change of expression and quickly looked away, pretending not to notice.

Perhaps because it was late at night, there were not many vehicles on the road.

They arrived at the airport quickly and saw Rowan.

Seeing Rowan’s current state, Geena was also taken aback.

Rowan acted indifferent about Geena’s concern and replied with a carefree attitude, “Albert, I come to Qari this time to challenge myself. Since it’s a challenge, there’s no reason to bring an entourage.”

Geena’s expression turned cold as he looked at the playful Rowan. “If that’s really what you think, then you can go back now.”

Rowan was dumbfounded. “Come one, Albert, if I were to go back like this, people would laugh at me. My father would be even more worried about letting me handle things on my own.”

Albert, however, responded coldly, “Being laughed at is still better than dying out there. Challenging oneself doesn’t mean treating one’s own life as a joke.”

Rowan had never seen Geena so serious before and stammered, “Albert, I didn’t… I didn’t mean it like that… I…”
