Chapter 1417 Attack
The ambiance on the yacht was extremely lively.
Behind them, there was another yacht, except that it was smaller and a lot less luxurious.
On that small yacht were Himari and her husband.
At that moment, Itachi was harvesting oysters just like a robber. If it wasn’t on the account of the Minamoto family, he would definitely have been chased out.
“What are you doing? Don’t you think you’re disgracing yourself?”
Himari was infuriated at how vulgar her husband was acting.
However, Itachi was utterly unfazed.
“What’s there to be ashamed about? Do you know how hard it is to come here? Do you think I’m here to have fun?”
“You…”
Himari’s face flushed red with anger.
However, there was nothing much she could do about it. All she could do was suffer the contemptuous gaze of the palace guards and pretend to look somewhere else.
Coincidentally, she saw Solomon stretching his hand out of the yacht to help Ichika harvest the oysters with a bag in hand.
“Darling, look at this one.”
“I know.”
Solomon beamed joyously. His affection for Ichika could be felt from a mile away.
Crack!
Suddenly, Himari clenched her fist so tightly that she cracked her knuckles. The jealousy she felt began to emanate from every fiber of her being.
Finally, the hatred she held coalesced into murderous intent.
Ichika, just you wait!
Suddenly, Ichika had her bag entangled with a lotus root.
She had noticed a huge oyster and was looking to harvest it. Hence, after receiving the tools from Solomon, she got it stuck instead of picking up the oyster.
“Ah!”
When she realized what was going on, her face turned sullen.
Just when she wanted to ask Solomon for help, her father had invited him for a drink. Not wanting to disrupt the proceedings, she decided against it instead.
In the end, she tried giving it another tug but failed to pull up the bag. Instead, the recoil from the lotus roots pulled half her body out of the yacht instead.
“Darling!” she yelled in the end.
However, it was already too late. The next moment, the small yacht behind crashed into their yacht with a loud bang, causing her to be thrown into the water.
“Mommy! Aunt Ichika has fallen into the river!”
At the crucial moment, Vivian screamed aloud at the sight.
The next moment, everyone, including Sasha, ran out when they heard the scream. When they saw what had happened, their expressions changed drastically.
Just when Solomon prepared to jump in to rescue her, Himari sprang to her feet from the yacht behind them and dived into the water without any hesitation.
That’s…
Everyone was dumbstruck.
It wasn’t until a few minutes later that Ichika was finally rescued. Everyone hurried forward and pulled them both up onto the yacht.
“Himari, luckily, you saved Ichika today. You should quickly get changed before you catch a cold.”
After she saw her elder daughter save Ichika, her tone softened significantly.
However, Himari walked up to Ichika while still dripping wet and shook her pale face. “I’ll wait for her to regain consciousness first.”
Her expression and tone at that moment demonstrated how much she cared for her sister.
Giichi also softened his attitude toward her.
Due to the accident, the cruise came to an abrupt end.
Solomon brought Ichika back to the Minamoto residence, while the Hayeses returned to their hotel.
Sabrina remarked, “Himari doesn’t seem so bad after all. At the crucial moment, she even saved her sister.”
Devin responded, “I guess so.”
Both of them were not together with Ichika. Hence, they didn’t see what had exactly occurred before she fell into the water.
Sebastian shot them a glance without stating his opinion. After that, he led the children to the top floor with Sasha following him from behind.
“Sebby, don’t you think there’s something strange about the incident? There’s just something off about Himari,” Sasha said as they returned to the presidential suite.
Sebastian sneered, “Despite Vivian being only ten, barely anything happened to her. Given that Ichika is an adult, how did she end up falling instead?”
“My sentiments exactly,” Sasha affirmed with her eyebrows knitted.
Unlike Sabrina and Devin, Sasha didn’t trust Himari just because she had seen her rescue Ichika. After all that she had been through, she knew it was done on purpose even though she wasn’t present at the scene.
Just as Sebastian had mentioned, her three children were harvesting river oysters uneventfully. Given that nothing untoward had happened to them, she wondered how Ichika could have been thrown into the river.
Furthermore, it was such a suspicious coincidence for the small yacht to crash into them.
