Theresa stared at him. “Don’t tell me you’re the camp leader too.”

“I’m not. Our camp leader’s identity is top secret.” Morgan’s smile turned sly. “However, if you marry me, I’ll tell you who Ark Camp One’s leader really is.”
Theresa stayed silent for a beat.
“Thanks for the offer, but I’m not that curious,” she tly said.
She shut him down without hesitation.
“Don’t be so quick to refuse. The betrothal gift I’ll give you is generous. Just wait and see.”
The helicopter returned to its station. Morgan hopped off once theynded.
Theresa stood there, speechless.
Her gaze moved over the people around him until itnded on Harry. She paused. “You with that girl who borrowed a pad from me?”
Harry froze for a second. It took him a moment to realize she meant Amy, the girl who had escaped Ark Camp One with him during the rescue. He smiled. “Yeah. We got married.”
“Congrattions.” Theresa pped him on the shoulder. “I’ll send you a wedding gift. I wish you all the
best.”
Harry was so ttered that he hardly knew what to say.
He watched her board the helicopter with her people. His eyes carried a trace of tears.
Two dayster, he received the gift Theresa had promised.
It was a fruit basket. Onebel had his name on it and marked it as a wedding present.
Warmth and gratitude rose in Harry’s chest.
Back at her base, Theresa began receiving invitations from every direction.
The new leader of Ark Camp Three invited her over and over to bring the whole KI Camp under their g. He promised her the position of fifth–floor administrator and housing rights above the second floor for all her people.
Ark Camp Two also reached out. They tried to lure her with a high price, though not as sincerely as Ark Camp Three.
The most persistent one was still Morgan.
Morgan was not trying to recruit her. Instead, he wanted to marry her.
“Old Mr. Keaton, I’ve decided to give Theresa the position of fifth–level administrator in our camp. On top of that, I’ll add a hundred thousand tons of food as a betrothal gift and take her as my wife.”

Chapter 420 Morgan’s Proposals
“Old Mr. Keaton, think about it. If I marry her, I’ll take care of every single person in your base.”
s
“Old Mr. Keaton, I can even ept your entire base into mine. From then on, you’ll all be under mymand.”
“Old Mr. Keaton, in this whole world, no one but me is worthy of her.”
“Old Mr. Keaton, why is Theresa still ignoring me?”
“Theresa, I knew you had that kind of charm.” Xavierughed out loud as he read Morgan’s daily messages.
Theresa said nothing.
Lucas, standing nearby, saw the messages. He shut themunicator down with a cold look.
“I won’t allow you to get married,” he firmly dered.
Xavier’s eyes were bright with amusement. “Theresa is a fine youngdy. A gentleman would naturally want to pursue her. If you don’t allow it, what’s your reason?”
“Grandpa!” Lucas almost flipped the table at his grandfather’s words.
He was Lucas‘ family, yet his grandfather was siding with outsiders.
“Then, tell me why she can’t marry him,” Xavier demanded.
Lucas‘ ears turned red. He stumbled over his words before blurting out, “Theresa belongs to the whole alliance. She can take a husband, but she can’t marry out.”
Xavier said dryly, “By that logic, I could have Morgan marry into our family instead.”
“No way!” Lucas almost exploded. Why did it feel like his grandfather kept pushing her toward other people?
“Anyone who marries Theresa needs my approval.”
“Why is that?”
“B–Because I’m…” Lucas stammered for a long moment, then dered with full confidence, “I’m Theresa’s brother.”
Theresa burst intoughter. “You know what? I think you’re right.”
She got to her feet and waved at them. “I’ve got things to do. You two can keep arguing.”
With the poise of a true boss, she walked out of Xavier’s vi.
Once she was gone, Xavier gave his grandson a look full of disappointment. “Honestly. How did I end up with such a dense grandson?”
“Grandpa, I need to ask you something,” Lucas said, his face serious. “Why were you siding with him just now<i>? </i>How could you push Theresa toward someone else?”
Xavier snorted. “Also, what was that nonsense you were spouting? Her brother? Needs your approval? is

that any way to put it?”
Lucas thought for a moment, then looked up. “Why not? Theresa agreed with me.”
Xavier was speechless.
Lucas went on. Grandpa, stay out of Theresa’s personal matters from now on. She’s not just a person
She’s the heart of the zing Sun Alliance. None of <b>us </b>can afford to lose her
Xavier rubbed his temples with a sigh. “Go on, get out of here. I knew you’d be useless
