Chapter 869 Overflowing with Joy
"Yes, we came to Ruritania specifically to appreciate the beauty of the lake, and now they're telling us we can't go
in. It's outrageous."
"Hey, you're Rhett's personal lawyer, the Miller family heir; if you mention his name, they should let us in, right?"
Jacinta's face brightened as she spoke.
"Of course, with such a small matter, I can solve it with just a word."
Adriel confidently approached the officer in charge of the checkpoint at the entry as soon as he finished speaking.
He was observed smiling and chatting with the police, and soon the officer waved at Jacinta and her pals, indicating
that they might pass.
"What are you waiting for, Jacinta? Come on in!"
Adriel reappeared, triumphantly winking.

Jacinta was taken aback, and Adriel's triumphant expression grew even more prominent.
Adriel's sudden admiration was shared by the other girls with Jacinta.
Adriel was overjoyed to be adored and sought by a bunch of young women.
Just thereafter, Jacinta, who had regained consciousness, noticed a familiar person.
"Yulia?"
Yulia was conversing and laughing with Skylar when she heard her name called and immediately went in the
direction of the sound.
Her eyes lighted up as she saw Jacinta's face, and she swiftly dragged Skylar and Lola over.
Jacinta and Yulia were not just classmates, but they also shared a bunk bed back in the day.
They were as close as sisters until Yulia dropped out of school, but owing to an accident, Yulia cut off
communication with everyone.
She hadn't expected to see Jacinta after five years.
"Yulia, it's you! I was afraid I mistook you for someone else!"
Jacinta spoke gently while holding Yulia's hand.
"You've matured and become more charming in the five or six years since we last met, even more beautiful than
when we were in college."
"Yulia, is this your husband and child? Are you also here to visit the lake?"
"I was just saying that if they suddenly decided not to allow tourists, they should have notified us sooner;
fortunately, Adriel has great connections, and a few words from him got the officers to let us through."
"Why don't you allow Adriel to greet them as well, and we can all enter together?"
Skylar and Yulia both went to Adriel automatically after hearing Jacinta's statements.
Adriel was surprised to see Yulia, but his expression changed when he spotted Skylar, who was always by her side.
Before Skylar and Yulia could say anything, Adriel remarked cynically, "Jacinta, these two are not ordinary people."

"However, that doesn't make them exceptional. Take my advice and stay away from them."
"Huh?"
"Adriel," Jacinta was perplexed, "I don't quite understand what you're saying."
"Don't get it?"
"Then let me ask you, do you know why the lake suddenly stopped receiving tourists?" Adriel asked, looking at
Skylar."
"On the way here," Jacinta replied uncertainly, "the taxi driver mentioned something about a challenge issued by
the Hernandez family of Kley City to a man named Skylar, and the location of their duel is at the lake."
"Then why don't you let Yulia introduce who her husband is?" scoffed Adriel."
Jacinta gazed at Skylar, then at Yulia, a strange concept forming in her head.
Before she could ask, Adriel pointed at Skylar and exclaimed, "That's right, he's the one who was challenged by the
Hernandez family, Skylar!"
