Chapter 574 Field Operations

Upon hearing a voice calling out to him, Sean saw Carla get out of the car. He promptly walked toward her and said, "It's only been a couple of days since the last time I saw you, but why are you getting so fat so quickly?"

"Can't you say something a bit nicer to your sister? I was a bit scrawny when I got back, so I'm now trying to regain my health," Carla glared at him and answered.

"Oh, by the way, are you still busy preparing for your final exam? Do you have anything planned right now?" she asked.

Seeing that Carla's condition was improving and she was becoming livelier and even appeared to be glowing, a bright smile crept onto Sean's face as he turned to look at Terence.

"Terence sent someone over to pick me up. He told me that being holed up in my room and studying all day long wouldn't be good for me. So, I should learn how to properly balance my time between study and rest. I'm gonna head back to school this evening," he replied.

"Oh? So, you only planned to come over in the morning?"

Carla asked, turning her head to look at Terence who was standing on the other side.

The man, who was leaning against the SUV in such a graceful way with one hand in his pocket, was giving her a wink.

Just as Carla was about to say something, she was stopped in her tracks by the noise of a car passing from behind.

When she checked who it was, Carla saw William's car driving toward their direction. From the moment he stepped out of his car, his eyes were glued to Violet who was busy getting her bag.

Given that she wasn't really expecting him to show up, Violet didn't have the chance to prepare herself. Upon noticing that he was about to approach her, she planned to leave right away by grabbing her bag.

But William had immediately taken the initiative and stood in front of her.

"Violet, why don't you just stay longer since you're already here?"

As he stood in front of her, William shot Carla and Terence as well as everyone else with them a glance. Then, he went on and suggested, "Violet, there's a lot of other people here today, so let's not make it just about you and me. Even though we broke up, I don't see anything wrong with us meeting each other from time to time as friends. What do you say?"

Shaking his hand off of her, Violet retorted, "Stop screwing with me! Have you seen people who broke up spending time with each other every now and then?"

It was obvious that she had no intention of doing that. They had hurt each other a lot, so it was rather hard for both of them to face each other in a calm manner.

"I guess you're right. Well, how about this? Let's just make peace and let bygones be bygones. We only had a falling-out back then, but it's all in the past. Now, it's time for us to move on." William stated as he held her hand and pulled her toward the group, not giving Violet a chance to say anything back.

"Terence, it's time for us to enter the field since everyone is already here," he said.

While they were having that little argument, Theo and his friends had already arrived and were just waiting inside the car.

Turning a blind eye to Vio

king charge of the monitoring, they thought that it would be a good idea to have Terence's personal staff to be in charge of it himself.

"Terence, are you serious about this?"

Carla worriedly asked. Originally, she thought they just came to have a bit of outdoor fun, such as mountain climbing among other things. Although she saw nothing wrong with playing shooting games, it just seemed a bit too professional for her.

"Why, of course! We have to be serious even if it's just a game. But most importantly, we're here to have some fun! What's the matter, honey? Are you scared that you might lose while you're with me?" Terence asked her.

The game was just getting started, so every team went on their separate ways to look for the perfect place to hide. The actual competition would begin in 10 minutes.

"No, not really. I just think that it looks a bit too serious. Your friends from the army in particular. They're still serving in the army, so wouldn't we be much too weak to compete on an equal footing with them?"

Carla blurted out as she was moving forward. After that, she found out that Theo had already occupied the fortress right in front of them.

"Why don't you try to ease up a little? I've already asked them to take it easy on us and not to take the game too seriously," Terence said, trying to give her a sense of assurance. Realizing how worried she was being, Terence wanted to calm her down. After all, it wouldn't be any fun if they were to get defeated at the very beginning of the game.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

William managed to find a secret place as he was holding onto Violet. So, they went ahead and sat down to conceal themselves. Now, it was beginning to really feel like a group battle.

Be that as it might, his aim was very clear from the start.

"Violet, is everything going well with our son?" William asked from out of the blue.

Caught completely by surprise, Violet was rendered speechless for a second and then turned to look at him.

"How did you find out about him? Who told you about it? Tell me. Was it Carla?"
