Chapter 2226 - 2235: Nothing Is Different

An hour later, everyone went to the dining hall, and as soon as they sat down, the whole fish feast at noon was quickly served.

Steamed, braised in soy sauce, deep-fried, boiled - everything was there.

Alexander Forest loves fish. As soon as he sat down, seeing the whole table full of dishes, he happily praised Oscar Wilson for organizing this group activity particularly well, making Oscar quite proud.

After lunch, everyone didn’t go fishing again, but chose to head to the leisure area.

Jane Sampson was pulled by Nina Rice and Quincy Forest to play mahjong, plus Coco Edwards, making just enough for a table.

A few males in another area were playing table tennis, matching the excitement of the girls playing mahjong.

James Black wasn’t interested in playing table tennis, so he didn’t join in. He watched for a while from the side but eventually shifted his attention to Jane Sampson.

However, from where he stood, he could only see the bobbing ponytail at the back of Jane Sampson’s head.

Still, hearing her incessantly laughing, one could guess that she had good luck with the cards today.

James Black turned his head to look at a few fruit trees outside bearing fruit, then lifted his foot to walk outside.

The entire mansion doesn’t allow private cars in; the mansion’s transportation should use electric shuttle cars, so the environment and air quality are excellent.

It had only been a few days since it rained, and the fruits on the trees barely had any dust on them, looking very appealing from afar, in clusters and bunches.

"You keep playing, I’m going out for a cigarette." Rachel Miller noticed James Black went out, so she quietly said something to Oscar Wilson beside her and followed after him.

Oscar Wilson casually responded while holding a cue stick, and a few seconds passed before he realized it was Rachel Miller speaking to him just now.

When he turned his head, Rachel Miller was already gone.

"Already so sick, and still smoking?" Oscar Wilson muttered to himself, then lowered his head to continue playing.

Rachel Miller followed James Black outside.

Seeing James Black walking straight towards a few fruit trees, she followed him.

"James," Rachel Miller called out.

The person in front came to his senses, glanced at her faintly, then indifferently turned back around, as if he hadn’t seen her, reaching out to pick the already reddened fruits on the tree.

"Can we talk?" Rachel Miller asked.

Since James Black and Jane Sampson arrived here, it’d been half a day, and she hadn’t spoken even a sentence to James Black.

James Black was ignoring her existence altogether, and because of James Black, Jane Sampson also kept avoiding her, without crossing gazes even once.

"What do you want to say?" Although James Black’s hand stopped moving, he still kept his head raised, looking at the fruits on the tree, seriously searching for the few largest and reddest ones on the entire tree.

Jane Sampson is picky about fruits, only eating the sweet ones.

James Black’s attitude was too indifferent, causing Rachel Miller to be slightly stunned. It took her a few seconds to open her mouth.

"From my condition, you can probably guess that I’m also ill. The doctor said if it can be controlled, maybe I can live a bit longer. If it’s uncontrollable, like my brother, I probably have less than two years," Rachel Miller said. "The Miller Family, it’s just like that. If I’m gone too, all the Miller Family’s belongings will fall into others’ hands. I’m not reconciled to that."

"What’s it got to do with me?" James Black asked carelessly.

"I brought a lawyer this time. I want to leave all the Miller Family’s possessions to you," Rachel Miller said.

After Rachel Miller finished speaking, James Black paused.

A few seconds later, he looked at Rachel Miller with a perplexing gaze, and very coldly, he spoke, "To the Miller Family, I’m just an outsider, no different at all."
