Chapter 735 A One in a Million Chance
As soon as she finished speaking, Jimmy almost replied without hesitation, "Of course I would!"
"Why? It was almost impossible that the missing person would be found. After telling your friends, he would only be disappointed once again and become even more upset," Jessica said solemnly.
Jimmy didn't hesitate. "But hope is hope. Even if there is only a one-in-a-million chance, it's still hope. Almost impossible doesn't mean completely impossible. Miracles happen when things are almost impossible, right?"
Jessica suddenly had a realization. "Honey, I need to go to Mr. Smith's house!"
"Huh?" Before Jimmy could react, Jessica grabbed his hand and ran toward Fiona's residence.
Fiona hadn't been in such a bustling place for a long, long time.
Burl followed after her. "Sis, I'm pretty good at dancing, right? I didn't know I had this talent."
Fiona smiled and shook her head. " Then what about enrolling you in a dance class?"
"Please don’t," Burl said, pursing his lips. "Sis, I plan to sell my company shares to my business partner. I'll graduate in two months, and then I want to go back to the country to develop there."
Fiona was slightly taken aback.
It wasn't difficult to guess the reason why Burl wanted to go back at this time.
"The company is doing so well, it would be a loss to sell it…" Fiona looked at him.
Burl happily said, "It's just my work from my student days. After I graduate, I will manage an internet company in the country. I'm confident that I can do better than this. The internet market in Armie is so good right now, I have high hopes for it!"
"Burl, if it's for me, it's really not necessary." Fiona's eyes were slightly red.
For so many years, Burl had always followed her.
That company was Burl's effort over the past few years. It was like a child to him.
Fiona really didn't want Burl to give up the bright future that he should have had for her.
"It's not entirely for you," Burl answered seriously. "Sis, I'm not very ambitious. To me, being with family is more important than any great future. Charles and Chicago were by my side, and I watched them grow up, but in a short year of separation, they seemed to have grown so much. I am feeling a sense of crisis! I want to be there with them as they grow up, not to miss any moment of their lives. Thalassa's baby is going to be born this year. I want to be there to watch her grow up, too!"
After Burl finished speaking, he grinned at Fiona. "When I think about these moments, I feel like I've lived my life so well, so happily!"
"Silly boy!" Fiona lightly pushed Burl's head, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Burl chuckled mysteriously. "Do you know how much money I sold my shares for?"
Fiona was a professional in this field.
Fiona had always known the situation with Burl's company.
Of course, it was easy to guess how much Burl had sold it for.
"How much?" Fiona still asked with curiosity on her face.
Burl proudly extended two fingers. "I gave my partner a favorable price, 200 million dollars!"
Burl's internet company’s market valuation reached 600 million dollars this year.
He owned almost half of the shares.
Selling them for 200 million dollars was indeed a favorable price.
"Now you are a billionaire!" Fiona gave Burl a thumbs-up.
Burl was extremely proud.
"Since you're going back to China, I'll have Kenny pick out a few properties and buy you a house," Fiona continued.
Burl immediately waved his hand. "Don’t bother, I'll just live at your house!"
As they were speaking, a person suddenly appeared in front of them.
Burl clicked his tongue. "Here comes the annoying one."
Fiona smiled helplessly.
In the blink of an eye, Harold arrived in front of Fiona. "Fiona, you're finally back! I just finished a meeting and was about to look for you!"
"Mr. Klein, can my sister be arrested with me and the big guys behind me?" Burl snorted.
"Let’s go back. It's been over for a while." Fiona said to Harold.
Harold regretfully looked disappointed.
Then, his gaze was drawn to the movement on the sea.
"It's so late, and a ship is docking at the pier?"
Fiona and Burl also instinctively looked over.
"It's here to help with the move, right?" Burl said, "I heard from the locals that today they will all leave the island and bring their belongings by boat. But this is too early, isn't it?"
Christopher, who was behind them, heard and said, "Well done. It would be better to have these idiots leave earlier so that construction on the island can start as soon as possible."
"That's true." Burl agreed.
As they were talking, the approaching boat slowly docked.
The island's security measures were impregnable, and Fiona was not worried about anyone causing trouble.
She withdrew her gaze.
She was already a bit tired, and her eyes were a little uncomfortable.
After a while, Burl carefully changed Fiona's wound dressing under Harold's concerned gaze and helped her put on an eye patch.
"It's a bit red, but luckily there's no infection. Sister, after the islanders leave, you should go back too. Henry can handle the rest!"
"Yeah," Fiona responded.
"All right, stop crowding around me. Go wash up and sleep!"
Just as everyone was about to leave, a dispute suddenly came from outside.
"Who is it, in the middle of the night?" Burl frowned.
Fiona listened carefully. "It sounds like Jessica."
"Jessica?" Burl had a good impression of Jessica, a particularly cheerful person.
Christopher immediately asked about the situation at the door on the walkie-talkie.
"Johnson, there's a couple who insists on seeing Mrs. and won't leave until tomorrow!" came the irritated voice from the other side.
From Fiona's perspective of security, the islanders coming to see her either wanted money or didn't want to leave. Regardless of the reason, they didn't want Fiona to be bothered.
"Bring them in," Fiona said calmly before Christopher could respond.
Tonight, Christopher felt that it was late and no one should disturb Fiona's rest, but since Fiona had said it, he didn't say anything and went downstairs to fetch the guests.
"What business do you have with our lady?" Christopher asked Jessica and her husband sternly when he saw them.
Jessica looked at Christopher warily.
"I will only speak after seeing Fiona in person!"
Christopher fell silent.
Were they guarding against him?
Didn't he look like a good person?
"Fine, follow me then."
After a moment, Jessica met Fiona.
She walked briskly toward Fiona with excitement.
Mike became very cautious and immediately tried to intervene.
Fiona waved him off.
Jessica was a bit agitated, her eyes were even slightly red, as if she was about to cry.
"Jessica, what happened?" Fiona asked.
Jessica stared at Fiona. "Madam, it seems like I saw Mr. Solomon on the island!" "
