“What are you two up to? Don’t worry about me I’m fine, We should look at houses when we get the

together
Tyler and Sierra shared the same idea “Yeah We should strive to earn money to buy a house. Then, we
can settle down in Rosewood and become one of the locals”
“It’s late and time for bed. I need to get to the office first thing in the morning” Lianne yawned
Sierra and Tyler said. “Goodnight”
The next morning Lianne was crawling out of bed when her personal phone on the bedside table
buzzed Since the little mishap last week, Lianne now set her phone to silent mode
She felt around for her phone, not forgetting her manners when she picked up the call in a daze. “Good

Cash.” Two days ago, her husband, who had been “dead” for more than a year, contacted Lianne for a

After the call. Mr. Cash immediately dialed Zane’s number “Mr Atlas, I’ve managed to reach your wife
We re meeting at eight o’clock tonight. Are you goingTM”

receive the person. Nevertheless, the person in charge suddenly fell ill.
Zane was supposed to cut the ribbon during the opening ceremony of the tourist spot next month.
Since his schedule was clear of any important matters, Zane decided to bring forth the itinerary ahead
of time. Ambushed by the last-minute changes, Liam and Lianne flew with Zane to Weston.

Paired with the high altitude, Lianne was overcome by a dizzy spell not long after getting off the flight.
Zane glanced at her. “Haven’t you been to the highlands?
