Chapter 692: Chapter 692: The Drawing Lots Game
Stillwater Villa truly lives up to its reputation as an excellent spot crafted for the wealthy, combining leisure, gatherings, and entertainment. Not only is the scenery particularly beautiful, but there are also many adorable little animals on the mountain.
The group headed towards the back of the mountain, enjoying the uninterrupted beautiful landscape.
The mountain also has a shooting range, a hunting ground, a golf course, and a boating area...
Many people are interested in several of these activities, but seeing that Kyle Keaton and Roman Kidd don’t stop for these, they are reluctant to stop either.
Just like that, they all reached the deepest part of the back mountain at the hunting ground.
"How about this, let’s play a little game."
Victor Hawthorne, who had been playing the role of a tour guide and had been introducing the place for most of the day, was already panting and parched.
If he didn’t find a chance to take a break soon, he felt like he might collapse here eventually.
So, a bright idea struck him...
"We will form groups of five for a hunting activity and gather here at noon. The group that bags the most game will win the grand prize of this hunting event: a whole year of unlimited free spending at Stillwater Villa."
The grand prize proposed by Victor Hawthorne didn’t really excite the big shots.
Especially July Quinn, who started picking leaves to scratch an itch.
Kyle Keaton, playful at seeing her twin ponytails, found a dog’s tail grass and stuck it in her ponytail. July Quinn immediately got annoyed and started chasing him playfully.
Roman Kidd and Bianca White, watching the interaction between the two from the sidelines, looked particularly sullen.
Roman Kidd knew that Bianca White stayed behind to spend more time with Kyle Keaton and even asked to join when Kyle Keaton decided to participate with Victor’s group.
He thought this would make Bianca happy.
But now he suddenly doubted whether he had made the right decision.
Seeing Kyle Keaton and July Quinn goofing around made him feel a bit breathless.
How much more for Bianca?
None of the big shots responded to Victor Hawthorne’s suggestion, leaving him extremely embarrassed.
Luckily, the younger ones were more supportive: "I want to be in Boss Hawthorne’s group."
"Me too, I want to be in Boss Hawthorne’s group."
Shelly Cole, seeing this, quickly spoke up: "I want to be in July’s group."
With these people cheering, Victor Hawthorne had a way out of his awkward situation.
"No, no, if you all choose your groups like this, there’ll be someone left out, which wouldn’t be fair."
Victor Hawthorne suggested again: "Why not draw lots? That would be relatively fair."
Then, Victor found some branches.
"I have five different lengths of branches here, and whichever length you draw, you form a group with people who have drawn the same length."
To show respect to the Deputy President and Uncle, Victor Hawthorne let them draw first, followed by the others.
After July Quinn drew a branch, she quietly glanced in Kyle Keaton’s direction and found that he had drawn the same length as hers, the longest one.
Thus, without hesitation, she broke her branch to avoid being in the same group as Kyle Keaton.
Brandon White was trying hard to observe the length of the branch in July Quinn’s hand, but she kept it tightly within her palm, making it impossible for him to see.
Bianca White drew a slightly shorter branch, and after seeing that she couldn’t be in the same group as Kyle Keaton, she began surveying the surrounding people’s branches.
Then she noticed that the fourth Miss Zachary, Gia Zachary, drew the longest one.
So, she quietly walked over to Fourth Miss Zachary and whispered, "Fourth Miss, you probably haven’t had a chance to speak with my cousin yet today, right?"
