Chapter 1511 - The Discovery on Himalia (1/2)

The next morning, Emma arrived at JFK International Airport as scheduled.

With a feeling of anxiety, in a white dress, she stood at the exit of the special passage of the airport. She glanced around while she checked her watch from time to time. Almost as soon as the hour hand crossed the nine mark, a Luer car stopped beside her.

A blonde woman in a pair of sunglasses and a suit opened the car door and walked to her.

Bernice took off her sunglasses and hung them on her collar, then she examined Emma.

“Are you Miss Watson?”

“Yes… you are?”

“Bernice, this is my business card.” With a business card between her two fingers, Bernice handed it to Emma with swag. “Jiang Chen has something to do today, so he returned back to Xin already.”

Emma took the business card and took a look.

This business card was very interesting. On the black surface, a six-grid pattern was visible, and if she pressed on it, the image and words could “stand up”. Except that other than the name Bernice, there was no other information, and Emma didn’t even know whether it was her first or last name.

“In other words… I got stood up?” Emma raised an eyebrow and asked with uncertainty in her tone.

“Of course not,” Bernice said, pulled back her sleeve, then checked the time. “There will be a flight from here to the Virgin Islands in about twenty minutes. If you are interested, you can come with me. I have purchased a first-class ticket for you.”

Because of her concern for the children, Emma hesitated for a moment but finally nodded.

In addition to Bernice, there were also two other women in suits that looked like Celestial Trade employees, but they gave her a unique vibe… They did not seem to be white-collar workers, but they were different than the soldiers with reckless actions.

Emma hid all the questions in her mind and boarded with Bernice, the group on the flight to the Virgin Islands.

After about an hour’s flight, the group got off the plane at the Virgin Islands airport. At the gate of the airport, two Lincoln limos awaited them. The old man in a suit and bow tie opened his arms from a distance and greeted them with a warm smile.

But Bernice did not hug him. She simply shook his hand and then showed him the relevant documents.

“I’m here on behalf of Mr. Jiang Chen, here are the auction voucher and power of attorney.”

“Okay, Miss Bernice, please follow me.”

The old man slightly bowed, then invited them to sit in the limo next to him.

After they got into the vehicle, they drove on the highway for around an hour, then they switched to a medium-sized yacht at the east bank of the main island, and soon they arrived at the island on the map.

There were not many facilities on the island, with only a rustic shipyard, a wooden villa, and an old church. There were towering cliffs on two sides of the island, while one side was a beautiful beach.

The orphans were placed in the church. The elderly nuns took care of feeding them and corrected their wrong beliefs. In addition, there were people who taught them how to read, math, simple common sense, as well as knowledge that ordinary people didn’t need… or rather, “positions”.

After briefing Bernice about the situation on the island, the old man who was responsible for bringing them here bowed slightly and then left with his people. From this moment on, the “owner” of the island, its facilities, and the more than one hundred orphans on the island were transferred from a private charity foundation to Jiang Chen.

Because the island operated under the name of a charity, the owner of this island only had to pay half a million dollars in fees to the Virgin Islands every year. As for the orphans, since they did not have citizenship in the country, naturally no one cared about them.
