After resting their legs for a moment, Frank''s group headed out to check out the scenery.


    As soon as they stepped outside, they saw that the young man in a suit whom the dame chased away had returned.


    He had brought arge mob with him, and they encircled the dame''s cottage while he shouted into a megaphone along with the others, "This is a public service announcement! The owner of this cottage is a conwoman! She raises the price of your stay as she likes and chases you off if she can''t swindle you!"


    The dame was livid and ran outside with her broom, snapping, "You have too much time on your hands that you had to make trouble for me, huh?! I''ll kill you!"


    Though she started whacking the mob that the young man brought, she was already old and therefore had not much strength to speak of.


    The mob naturally did not fear her. Moreover, the young man also made it clear that they were not leaving and not starting fights, so the dame''s outburst merely fell t.


    "How about that, hag?" Jada walked up,ughing gleefully. "It''s calledeuppance!"


    The dame smirked. "Just you wait! I am more resourceful than you think. You''re nowhere near as ruthless as I am!"


    And with those words, she turned and ran back inside her cottage, leaving everyoneughing themselves silly as they watched.


    -


    Half an hourter, Frank''s group arrived at the foot of Mount Statera, where they visited the first attraction: a water park!


    It was the most famous one in Shagan, with its vastness and its famous ferris wheel that towered into the clouds—a sight to behold.


    After changing into her swimwear, Jada leaned against Frank and purred, "Thank goodness you''re here, Mr. Frankton, or you''d be really missing out."


    Frank ignored her and took a lounge chair, ordered a cocktail, and started sunbathing.


    Jada groaned. "Why? This isn''t the beache on, swim with us!"


    "Nah, youdies enjoy yourselves."


    Seeing that Frank was really uninterested, Jada gave up on persuasion and joined everyone else in the pool.


    They had mostly been to the beach, and while most water attractions were not that interesting, it was different with so many others around.


    Soon, they were enjoying themselves, sshing around as they yed excitedly.


    On the other hand, Dawn clearly disliked the excitement. She did not even change into swimwear and was lounging next to Frank, frowning and not at all pleased.


    "Rx. This won''t be a trip if you''re that tense." Frank chuckled.


    Dawn grinned. "You''re not feeling it either."


    Frank smiled in wry amusement. "Unlike you, my heart is with them even if I''m not physically there with them. Your heart, on the other hand, is a thousand miles away.


    Dawn smiled but said nothing.


    "You''re very beautiful,dy!"


    A young girl around five came up to Dawn just then. With her pudgy cheeks and


    her hair tied into a bun, she was absolutely adorable!


    "Thanks! You too!"


    Delighted, Dawn scooped her up in her arms and asked, "What''s your name? Where are your parents?"


    "I''m Jojo. My parents are over there!"


    Jojo pointed at a middle-aged couple in the pool, sshing water at each other happily without an ounce of maturity, looking more like newlyweds.


    Dawn smiled. "So you''re telling me that your parents really love each other, but you''re just an ident?"


    Jojo quickly shook her head. "I don''t like pools. It''s too deep, and I''d choke."


    Dawn smiled and nodded. She was going to hang out with Jojo when a shady character approached them "Sorry,dy. That''s my


    daughtere on, time to red. ne


    BUMS


    girlie Quit troubling others already!"


    Dawn smirked as she shielded Jojo. "She told me that the couple in the pool are


    her parents!"


    The manughed coolly. "You don''t get it. My daughter is a liar-right, littledy?"


    Jojo quickly shook her head, clearly terrified.
