Agnes walked over to Neal and said, "Neal, aren't you going to check on Ms. Brogdon? She seems pretty upset..."
Neal said, "Why would I check on her? She has nothing to do with me. She was the one who suddenly ran over and grabbed me..."
Agnes said, "Neal, I... don't really want to interfere in your love life. As long as you're happy, that's what matters. We'll go first."
Neal suddenly caught Agnes by the arm, still trying to explain.
"Agnes, I've always been alone. I really have nothing to do with her... Listen to me. Let me explain..."
Carmen shoved Neal's hand away in disgust and said coldly, "That's enough. Can't you take a hint? Take your fiancée and stay away from us!"
With that, Carmen pulled Agnes away, giving Neal no chance to explain.
The days that followed seemed calm on the surface.
Vivian still refused to give up. She kept finding chances to get close to Neal, staging all kinds of so-called accidental meetings.
But to him, she was invisible. He ignored her and avoided her every time.
Neal never bothered Agnes again. He only kept watching her from afar in silence.
Vivian's little clique of heiresses also behaved themselves and didn't dare stir up trouble anymore.
Every time Agnes and Carmen appeared, they scattered like mice seeing a cat.
During those few days on the cruise, Agnes actually had a pretty nice time and enjoyed a rare stretch of peace and leisure.
At last, a few days later, the cruise ship arrived at the resort island.
Over the past few days, Carmen had stayed by Agnes's side the entire time, never giving Neal a chance to get close.
And beside Neal, there was always the shadow he couldn't shake—Vivian.
So just like that, they managed to keep the peace.
Every year, this island ecology organization carefully planned a full set of activities for the wealthy donors and social elites who came to contribute.
This year was no exception.
On the second day after arriving on the island, the organizers arranged a special visit to the undersea world.
The staff had prepared a full set of diving gear for every guest.
Custom-fitted wetsuits, the latest oxygen tanks, imported waterproof goggles, and a whole lineup of diving equipment.
To make sure everything was absolutely safe, they had also arranged a huge number of experienced diving instructors to go along.
There was even an advanced medical team standing by on the shore at all times.
Carmen didn't join them today. She was on her period and resting in her room.
Under the instructor's guidance, Agnes started getting her diving gear ready.
She looked excited, but nervous too. This was her first time diving.
Then all of a sudden, she thought of Raymond.
