Chapter 715
Without waiting for Kelly’s response, Theo stepped inside as well.
Theo and Matty claimed their usual spots at Sharon’s side-one to the left, the other to the
right.
Xavier took the seat beside Matty, while Carter, who had followed them in, sat down next to
Theo.
Just then, a pale figure lowered herself into the seat beside Carter.
Startled, he turned. “Why are you here? With your condition, aren’t you forbidden from riding things like this?”
Kelly lowered her voice into a soft murmur. “My health has improved a great deal lately. Besides, Theo just said that if one never exercises, the body will only grow weaker. I’ve never ridden a pirate ship before. I thought… why not give it a try?”
With a single sentence, she neatly shifted the blame onto Theo.
After the safety officer checked everyone’s restraints, the pirate ship began to sway. At first, the motion was gentle. The ship was massive, and its rocking was smooth, hardly enough to
cause dizziness or discomfort.
For Theo, it was his first time on something even remotely “thrilling.” His wide eyes
brimmed with excitement, and he couldn’t help letting out a gasp of wonder.
Matty, too, broke into a radiant smile.
In that moment, the two children revealed their pure, unguarded joy.
But halfway through the ride, a discordant voice shattered the cheer.
“My head is spinning… Carter, I feel sick… Am I having another attack?”
The lighthearted atmosphere instantly collapsed. Even the other passengers, summer-

She clutched her chest, her face ashen, her expression twisted with pain as if she might collapse at any second.
Panic rippled through the ship.
“Oh my goodness, what’s happening to her?”
“Is she having a heart attack?”
“Who gets on a pirate ship with heart disease? Is she trying to kill herself?”
“Safety officer! Someone’s in trouble here!”
“Stop it, stop it now! If she dies here, I’ll never set foot in an amusement park again!”
Within moments, chaos engulfed the ride. The shrieks of fun vanished, replaced with frightened clamor.
The safety officer pieced the story together from the passengers’ shouts and rushed to halt
the ride. The pirate ship gradually slowed to a stop, its riders left muttering in confusion
and fear.
Even Carter hadn’t expected Kelly’s “illness” to flare so violently. His expression darkened
to stone.
Theo, alarmed, crowded around her with concern. “Kelly, are you all right?”
The park’s manager, terrified of liability, wasted no time calling an ambulance.
Sharon stood quietly to one side, her gaze cold and unblinking. She studied Kelly’s pained expression and the fleeting glint of triumph and provocation that slipped through when Kelly thought no one would notice.
A fine ambush indeed.

Carter and Theo clustered protectively around her as always, the “ailing” center of their
world.
Beside them, Xavier gave a low chuckle. “So this is her trick. This is how she ruins things?”
Sharon’s heart no longer rippled at the sight; her voice remained steady. “That’s right.”
He shook his head, smiling faintly. “Such a cheap tactic.”
Sharon’s lips curved. “Cheap or not doesn’t matter. So long as someone believes it.”
Xavier turned his gaze on her, his mouth lifting into a slow, wicked smile.
“Sharon… you’ve grown dangerous.”
