Chapter 319 Use Their Futures to Bury the Children

As Hannah spoke, she bent down to take the flowers from Herschel's hands and pulled him up at the same time.

Herschel looked at Hannah, his eyes full of sincerity.

"Hannah, I can accept and embrace all your willfulness and temper."

"Will you marry me?"

Hannah paused, not expecting Herschel to say this after what she had just said.

She bit her lip lightly, feeling a bit awkward for a moment.

Fiona walked over to Hannah's side, linking arms with her, and said softly,

"Hannah, Herschel has been really good to you lately."

"We all know him, and he's never treated any other girl like this before. You're the first."

Hearing Fiona's words, Harry burst out laughing.

He got up from the sofa and walked over, putting his arm around Hannah's shoulder.

"Hannah, you've got to hold your ground. If you get married, I'll be the only single guy left in the family. Then, during the holidays, I'll be the only one getting pressured about marriage. That won't do."

"You and Herschel should date for another year. Once I find a girlfriend during this time, then you two can talk about getting married."

Hearing Harry's words, Hannah immediately punched him in the chest.

"Using me as a shield, huh?"

Harry shot Hannah a wink, then announced that the day's birthday party was about to start.

Music began to play, and the yacht headed toward Sunrise City.

Harry danced to the music while reaching out to pull Herschel up from the ground.

As Herschel got up, he exchanged a glance with Fiona. She pursed her lips, her expression clearly showing some displeasure.

Harry was really good at livening up the atmosphere, and soon everyone forgot about the earlier unpleasantness.

Dominic was in a bad mood, sitting in a corner drinking alone. Fiona sat beside Dominic to keep him company for a while, then walked over to where Cordelia and Hannah were.

Hannah didn't know about the conflict between Cordelia and Fiona. Noticing the odd atmosphere between them, Cordelia assumed it was because of Dominic.

After all, Dominic was Cordelia's childhood friend, and he had liked Cordelia for a while before.

Fiona definitely saw Cordelia as a rival.

But Cordelia didn't like Dominic at all.

So Hannah, who had drunk quite a bit, took Fiona's hand and said with a smile.

"Fiona, don't worry, Cordelia isn't your rival."

"Don't think of Cordelia as your imaginary rival either. She likes someone else."

Fiona had an awkward smile on her face, but her hands couldn't help clenching tightly together.

"You're right."

"Ms. Stone and I might indeed have some misunderstanding."

Hearing this, Hannah turned to Cordelia, picked up a glass of fruit wine from the table, and handed it to Cordelia.

"Cordelia, it's my birthday today, and Fiona is also my friend. Whatever misunderstanding you two have, let's just let it go for my sake today, okay?"

Fiona smiled and picked up a glass of water from the table, saying softly.

"I'm pregnant, so I can't drink alcohol. I can only substitute water for wine. Ms. Stone doesn't mind, right?"

Cordelia had also drunk a few glasses of fruit wine earlier. Eventually, when Hannah was handing her a glass, she naturally took it and clinked glasses with Fiona without saying much, purely for Hannah's sake.

Fiona's lips curved slightly as she tilted her head back and drank the water in her glass.

After drinking, Cordelia saw the smile on Fiona's face, and that uneasy feeling in her heart inexplicably intensified.

She didn't have a high alcohol tolerance, so she had always been restrained, drinking relatively little. Besides, fruit wine didn't have very high alcohol content, so she could normally handle some.

But that day, after just a few glasses, she felt her heartbeat speeding up for no reason.

Hannah had drunk more alcohol, so now she was already feeling a bit hot. She took off her jacket and unbuttoned the top two buttons of her white shirt.

Hannah was known for her high alcohol tolerance, but now Cordelia saw that her face was already slightly flushed. Her state seemed different from usual.

Herschel came over to talk to Hannah.

Hannah hugged him directly.

Cordelia frowned tightly and put down her wine glass.

Fiona also put down her water glass, a slight smile curving her lips, and got up to leave.

Cordelia saw her walk onto the deck with her phone, so she followed.

Fiona walked toward the deck while making a phone call.

Cordelia clearly heard what Fiona was saying.

"Hello, I want to make an anonymous report. Someone is engaging in illegal prostitution. The yacht I'm on right now has the number..."

Hearing Fiona say this, Cordelia immediately knew there must be something wrong with the drinks. She quickly walked over and reached out to grab the phone from Fiona's hand.

But the alcohol had hit her, and her drink had obviously been tampered with. She didn't stand a chance against Fiona.

Seeing Cordelia coming to grab the phone, Fiona immediately pretended to panic and said some things like "help" into the phone.

Fiona wanted to frame everyone.

This yacht belonged to Harry, and Harry was a celebrity. Whether or not they found anything wrong in the end, it would become social news.

Plus, the entertainment media would definitely report on Harry's gossip.

Harry's career would suffer a major blow, and the rest of them would also be affected to varying degrees.

After hanging up the call, Fiona threw the phone directly into the sea.

Seeing Cordelia's desperate look, Fiona smiled viciously and suddenly grabbed Cordelia, who was trying to go back to the cabin to notify the others.

"Cordelia, my baby is gone after the DNA test."

"I know for sure the baby is Dominic's. And don't think I'm clueless about you helping Jade drug my meals."

"Now that the baby is gone, I'm going to use all of your futures as a burial offering for my child."

As Fiona spoke, she pushed Cordelia hard, pushing her directly off the yacht into the sea.

Cordelia couldn't swim. The moment she fell into the sea, she felt the seawater rushing into her mouth and nose.

Her body naturally floated up for a moment, then sank down again.

Fiona watched Cordelia fall into the water. After calming down, a flash of panic crossed her eyes.

At the same time, she heard the sound of someone diving into the water - clearly someone had jumped in to save Cordelia.

She immediately paused and looked to the other side. On the deck of the opposite yacht stood a man and a woman with a powerful presence. The man wore rimless glasses on his nose that seemed to emit a cold light. One of them was unmistakably Cordelia's sister, Evelyn.

Fiona's expression froze. A huge sense of fear and panic surged up, and she suddenly felt her legs go weak, collapsing onto the deck.

Evelyn had seen her actions.

She was finished.
