Chapter 289 ying With Their Lives
Olivia no longer had the nerve to stay on. She lifted the hem of her dress and fled the scene, her limited edition
crystal heels instantly bing a huge burden in her attempt to escape.
It was raining outside the banquet hall. Olivia was afraid the crew might catch up to her with cameras in hand, and rushed into
the rain in hopes of hailing a cab without bothering to shield herself from the rain.
When she finally reached home, her haute couture gown had bepletely drenched. Her limited edition heels were
completely ruined by the rain and mud. She lookedpletely disheveled and dreadful,
Mrs. Hansforted her daughter while keeping an eye on the storm brewing online.
Olivia’s father, Nelson Hans, had been on the line with his brows furrowed, desperate to suppress all news
about what happened to Olivia today.
Tomorrow was the first day of the mountain bike cross-country race. Many domestic and international bigwigs would have their
eyes on the Hans family. If they were to get upstaged by such embarrassing news at
such a critical moment, all the effort the Hans family had put in during this period would go down the drain!
“Stay at home and don’t go anywhere else during this period! Do you hear me?! If you dare do anything to ruin
the cross-country race, | won''t spare you!” Nelson yelled angrily at Olivia, who started sobbing uncontrobly,
unable to say a word.
The next morning, Mnie was awakened by the howling wind.
The official g—off for the mountain bike cross—country race was at eight in the morning. She had been worried the entire night
about the weather forecast, which predicted bad weather today.
She didn’t expect this morning’s weather to be even worse than what the forecast predicted.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Her mind was on the situation at Mount Coloss, and she was slightly taken aback when she received a call
from Quincy.
“Miss Jones, your help is probably needed at the mountain site.”
“What’s wrong?” Mnie asked anxiously, sensing the urgency in Quincy’s voice.
“It''s getting very windy here, and the weather station warned that winds have reached level seven and are showing signs of
getting stronger. There are even signs of rain here on the mountain, but the main organizer ispletely disregarding the
warnings.
“The rescue workers that Johnson Corporation was supposed to assign to the various refreshment stations are all not in position,
and | heard that they are apparently still resting at the base camp at the foot of the
mountain.
“We don’t have enough manpower here. | need your help to dispatch some people from the medical team here
to help out.”

“Sure. I’m reaching the office soon. Tell me more about the situation on the mountain. I''ll prepare more supplies and bring them
over as well.”
After hanging up, Mnie rushed to the office. Aside from the medical team, she activated all strong, fit, and
young people from other departments as well.
It was thanks to the physical training that Jones Enterprise subjected its employees to annually, which also included wilderness
survival training. That was why the administrative department had sufficient wilderness
survival equipment such as tents, raincoats and warm clothes stored up.
The employees swiftly gathered the supplies, and followed Mnie on the hugepany bus to Mount Coloss. When they
arrived at the base camp at the foot of the mountain, they saw how lively things were there.
The employees Johnson Corporation dispatched back to the country were gathered around the table with new recruits of the
Hans family, ying card games. There was even a barbecue grill set up right next to them. with fragrant meat being grilled on
the rack. Empty beer bottles strewn all over the floor served as proof of the
merry they had been making.
“Mr. Hans!”
Mnie charged angrily at Nelson, her eyes widened with rage.
“There has been a sudden change in the weather, and the bikers are suffering under the biting wind! That is a huge contrast from
the warm and exuberant atmosphere I’m seeing in this base camp right now!”
“That’s exactly what the bikers want! They want something extreme and heart-stopping! | say, Mnie Jones. You''re an amateur
who knows nothing. Please, just shut up!”
Nelson was in a bad mood from what transpired yesterday, and was hoping for the opportunity to vent his anger at Mnie. Now
that he had the chance, heshed out mercilessly at her.
“They''re thrill-seekers, but extreme sports and putting their lives at stake are twopletely different things!”
Mnie tried to argue her case.
“Didn''t you see the weather forecast? There is an 80% chance of rain over the next two hours! We can close one eye if it''s just
windy, but the moment it starts raining on the mountain, roads will be muddy and slippery and that will increase the
likelihood of the bikes skidding and idents happening along the mountain roads.
“Not just that, but the body temperatures of the bikers might dip with the rain and the number of refreshment stations you’ve set
up ispletely insufficient. A tragedy like hypothermia, perhaps even resulting in death. might ur!”
“What? Hypothermia?” Nelson had never heard of that term in his life. “What’s wrong with a bit of rain? I''ve watched videos of
mountain races abroad that were held in worse conditions than this. In fact, the poorer the conditions, the more fun it is!”
“Those races have much better and moreprehensive rescue supplies and resources avable. Did you look into that
thoroughly? The premise of having fun in such extreme conditions is the trust that their lives are in good hands!” Mnie
insisted.

Nelson didn’t seem to fully understand where Mnie wasing from. He simply shook his head, determined to pit himself
against her all the way.
Mnie took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. She didn’te all the way here to fight with Nelson. The lives of the
bikers on Mount Coloss were key.
She had to think of another solution.
