Chapter 144
Bogus Billionaire
The next day, Caroline woke up with a sore back. Still, she went to Fableland with Kirk. She thought they had to queue up, but when she went inside, she discovered that there was no one else except the staff.
âWhy arenât there any tourists?â Caroline murmured.
She had been to Fableland in Easton a few times, and it would always be crowded with people.
However, this place was uncharacteristically quiet and deserted. Not only that, but every staff member also smiled at them as if they were VIPs.
Kirk coughed lightly. âMaybe we came too early. Where do you want to go first?â
Caroline unfolded the theme park map and pointed to one of the places. âLetâs go here.â
Kirk glanced at where Caroline had pointed and saw the words âBattle for the Underwater Treasure âwritten on the map. âAll right. Iâll go make a call.â
âOkay.â Caroline nodded. She waited where she was.
After a while, Kirk returned. âLetâs go.â
Battle for the Underwater Treasure was Fablelandâs most popular exhibit. It used the latest technology for its shipâmounted tracks, giving the ride a realistic and immersive experience.
Hence, it attracted many tourists.
However, back in Easton, the wait time for the ride was too long. Caroline had always skipped it, albeit reluctantly. But today, she finally had a chance to experience it for herself.
As soon as they arrived, they saw a couple queuing up in front of them.
âSo, there are still people,â Caroline said with a smile. Kirk was rightâthey had just gotten here too early.
Kirk simply smiled and dragged Caroline to the ticketing booth. The cashier was a woman from Easton. She spoke their language but kept her head down, not daring to look up.
Caroline could only see her red earlobes and trembling hands. She didnât think much of the cashierâs behavior. After getting the tickets, she followed Kirk in.
When they got inside, the ship was already on standby, and the couple from earlier were sitting in The couple looked excited, looking forward to the ride. Caroline guessed that they were adults looking for entertainment, just like children.
She picked a middle seat, and just as she was about to sit down, the woman behind her called out to her âHâhey, Miss Câcan you sit here?â she stammered. Her face was flushed, and her hands were shaking, just like the woman at the ticketing booth outside.
Caroline was surprised, but she agreed, âSure.â
Pulling Kirk with her, Caroline sat down beside the woman. She gave them a friendly smile and said, âHelloâ
The woman became even more excited, and she held Carolineâs hand enthusiastically. âHello! Hello!â
She looked like a fangirl who had met her idol.
Caroline looked over at Kirk. He smiled at her, looking natural.
The ship slowly began to move.
The woman beside Caroline wasnât paying attention to the scenery at all. Instead, she looked at Caroline, softly asking, âAre you both really husband and wife?â
Caroline answered patiently, âYeah.â
The woman patted her chest. âYou guys look perfect for each other. I envy you.â
Caroline smiled, but she felt that this woman was talking too much. She looked up to admire the realistic props and stopped talking.
The woman was probably embarrassed, so she stopped talking to Caroline as well. Instead, she began whispering to the man next to her.
Caroline couldnât hear what they said very clearly. Still, she occasionally heard compliments about her appearance and attitude, as well as how much they envied her.
When the ship was above water, Caroline was engrossed in the realistic sights around her. Hence, she didnât pay attention to the couple anymore.
Soon enough, the ship arrived in front of the treasure chest.
