Chapter 247 Taking Risks And Embracing Life
The cabin buzzed with a lively atmosphere as several bottles of wine were uncorked.
Isabe had only taken a few sips when she noticed that Seth had already downed
several sses. She thought to herself, He seems truly bored. Now, he’s even toying
with his own life.
The meal stretched on for over two hours, and the cabin was filled with the aroma of
red wine. The men were more or less intoxicated, and with the boat swaying, Isabe
felt rather dizzy.
“Why don’t we take a nap and reconvene in the evening?” suggested Leonard.
No one objected. This group of affluent young men had no interest in fishing; their sole
focus was on enjoying thepany of beautiful women.
Tyrone went to operate the boat alone while Isabe and the others stayed behind. The
Chapter 247 Taking Risks And Embracing Life
boat slowly approached the shore, and the gentle sea breeze was quite pleasant. She
closed her eyes, and her head began to droop. Suddenly, the boat jolted, startling her
awake.
“We’re almost at the shore. Anyone up for a race?” someone eximed, and the
atmosphere in the cabin heated up once again. With the alcohol taking effect, these
individuals were acting a bit recklessly.
Isabe squinted and looked around. Everyone in the cabin had stood up, and the men
were joking andughing as if they had made a decision. Natasha stood beside her,
biting into a piece of fruit and snorting. “They’re ying with their lives, daring to swim
after drinking.”
Isabe was taken aback. “What?”
Natasha nodded towards the group of men. “Those idiots are nning to swim to the
shore.”

Isabe frowned. These people had all been drinking, and if anything were to happen, it
would make headlines.
“What are we supposed to do while you guys swim?” Caitlin pouted. Before anyone
could answer, she hugged Harold and said, “Harry can’t go. He must stay with me.”
As a result, Leonard and the others teased her for being a spoilsport.
“Fine, I’ll stay and drive the boat back. Mr. Dunkstein can take my ce.” Harold was
easygoing. He turned to Gordon and asked, “Mr. Dunkstein, can you swim?”
Gordon shrugged. “I can manage.”
“Perfect.” Harold patted Caitlin’s back, smiling and greeting everyone.
The couple’s affection for each other was evident, so no one said anything more. The
group began nning the route and cing bets on who would reach the shore first.

Isabe stood up and looked at the shore. It was at least 700 to 1000 feet away, maybe
even more. If anything were to happen in between, it would be a serious matter.
“Everyone has been drinking. Maybe we shouldn’t do this.” Her sudden remark drew
everyone’s attention.
Seth was reclining on a chair, wearing sunsses, and was the only one who didn’t turn
to look at her. However, as Isabe shifted her gaze, she caught a glimpse of a cold
smile at the corner of his lips.
Caitlin rolled her eyes and sarcastically said, “What’s the matter? Are you worried about
Gordon or Seth?” Her words were too direct, and everyone couldn’t help but show
expressions of anticipation. All eyes were on Isabe, waiting for her reaction.
Natasha mmed her cup down and said irritably, “Mr. Shaffer has a serious injury on
his back. Is he nning to swim as well?”
“Injury?” Dariel raised an eyebrow and looked at Seth. “It should be almost healed by
now. If you’re using this as an excuse not to swim, you might as well change your name
to Sad Shaffer.”
Seth ignored him, neither agreeing to swim nor refusing.
Isabe stood awkwardly, maintaining a calm expression. “I just think it’s unsafe to
swim after drinking. If you think I’m being meddlesome, just disregard what said.” After
uttering these words, she sat back down, deliberately giving Freya a meaningful look,
Freya understood the message and quickly raised her hand. “Gordon, you should also
stay. It’s not easy for you toe out, and if you overexert yourself and get scolded by
Mrs. Dunkstein…”
Dariel let out a surprised sound, yfully teasing with his eyes. “Mr. Dunkstein is quite
lucky. There are many girls who care about him.”
Gordon, in a cheerful mood, raised his hand. “Sorry, but I won’t be joining in.”

Leonard and Jerry teased him, but didn’t say much. They left the cabin in pairs, forming
a straight line outside. Corey had been leaning against one side, waiting for Seth to get
up before following and casually asking, “Are you okay, Seth?”
Seth took off his sunsses, gave Corey a cold nce, and questioned, “Do you usually
show concern for your brother like this?”
Corey chuckled lightly, his eyes filled with youthful mischief. “If I did, he would kick me.”

Seth’s eyebrows twitched, but he didn’t say anything further. He unbuttoned his shirt
and took it off right away. Isabe didn’t turn her head, but she heard Freya next to her
speak in a restrained yet excited voice, “He’s so handsome!”
Lyra clicked her tongue. “What a physique.”
The speechless Isabe took a forceful sip of her juice, still not turning her head.

Natasha chimed in. “Dariel, that shameless devil, is having way too much fun.”
Isabe paused, then smoothly turned around, using her conversation with Gordon as
an excuse to nce in Seth’s direction. He was wearing a ck tank top, with no
intention of taking it off. A thin scab had formed around his neck, revealing a hint of
pink skin underneath.
If he went into the water like this, there was a high risk of infection.
