Living With My Lady Boss

"Josie!"

Wilbur still wanted to ask more, but unfortunately, Josie had already left.noveldrama

He sighed and thought back on Josie's words. For those eight people to give up the gold, they would need to find something more valuable than gold.

Wilbur muttered to himself, "Something more valuable than gold... could it be life?"

Wilbur fell into deep thought. Indeed, life was more valuable than gold. However, Mitch and his team were clearly in despair. Living in such a state, even if given life, even if Wilbur saved them a hundred times from danger, might not change their mindset.

Mitch and his team had reached a dead end in life. Unless their lives improved and they each found what they considered most valuable, they would not give up the gold.

After all, for anyone, besides life, the most valuable thing was probably what they personally deemed the most precious. Since everyone's life experiences were different, their mindsets would be different as well.

After some thought, Wilbur knew that to help the eight members of Mitch's exploration team out of their predicament, the first thing he needed to do was understand them and get involved in their lives.

Therefore, Wilbur's next step was to return and quickly catch up with the eight members of that exploration team.

With that in mind, Wilbur turned and ran back at full speed. Meanwhile, Mitch and his team had already walked another kilometer and were only a kilometer away from the forest's exit.

At this point, Kean, who had been silent all along, shrugged helplessly and said, " Mitch, I don't think Veda would betray us. Although what he said earlier was terrible, he has stuck with us through twenty-three expeditions regardless. Maybe, what I mean is, he might be in the same situation as us, with his life at a dead end."

Hearing this, a trace of sympathy appeared in Mitch's cold eyes. He stopped and said, "Yes, I understand Veda. He's not usually like this. Maybe our failures have disappointed him too much."

Vernon added, "If we can win over Veda's heart, I think we can continue our expeditions. Once we find the treasure and share that chest of gold, the eight of us can all become wealthy."

Mitch nodded. He seemed very confident, as if he had already obtained that chest of gold, and said, "Exactly. Since we are all good friends, we should do this together. You all know I'm not a stingy person. I promised you guys that we'll split the treasure equally when we find it. I won't take even one more coin than anyone else."

As they were talking, they saw another team ahead entering the forest. They all fell silent. Just then, Wilbur's voice came from behind them, "Mitch, wait for me!"

They were all shocked and stood frozen in place. Mitch hesitated for a moment, then turned to Wilbur with a forced smile and said, "Wilbur, I knew you would come back."

"Yes, it's too dangerous in there, so I hurried out. I saw you hadn't left the forest yet, so I came to ask if you want to ride back in my car together?"

"Of course." Mitch said with a smile, "I was just wondering how we would get back to Vicente. Now that you're here, we can all ride in your car."
