RedNovelChapter 1459: 1459. Scrounging a meal
Sophia Taylor hesitated for a moment and declined, "No, it wouldn't be right forto disturb you like that."
"What disturbance? It’s just one more person at the table. If you were to cook by yourself, it'd be far more
troublesome."
In the end, Sophia reluctantly agreed, feeling slightly embarrassed.
On the way to the resettlement site, they had to pass by the road that was currently under construction. Sophia
instinctively paused in her steps, her gaze falling onto the road.
"What's wrong?"
Elly Campbell noticed her standing still and staring blankly at the road, and asked curiously.
"Oh, it’s nothing. | was just thinking that when this mountain road is completed, it'll be so much easier for people
here to travel outside. Maybe their living conditions will improve as well."
She turned to Elly, her expression filled with emotion. "If it weren't for you, these children might never have had
the opportunity to leave the mountains."
Elly understood what Sophia meant.
Even though there's a saying about talented individuals rising from humble beginnings, in today’s society, the
disparity in educational resources and foundational opportunities means that children don’t start on equal
footing.
The reality is, it’s becoming increasingly rare for those from humble beginnings to achieve greatness.
She had seen it herself over the past few days.
These children could learn how to read, write, and grasp basic arithmetic, chemistry, and physics, but it was only

cities achieved.
Perhaps these children would spend their entire lives in the mountains, and even if they ventured outside,
survival would be tough.
"There will be opportunities. Everyone has opportunities."
She had already discussed plans with Adam Jones. Once the infrastructure here was complete, they could
collaborate with the village to develop a tourism area, which would undoubtedly provide a path for the mountain
villagers to work their way toward prosperity.
However, since this idea was still in its early stages, Elly didn’t say much about it to Sophia.
"I heard from the Village Chief that the new school buildings were donated by Mr. Jones. Was that road donated
by Mr. Jones too? You really are wonderful people."
Sophia pointed to the distant road, expressing her gratitude sincerely.
"No, that road was built by someone else."
At the mention of this, Elly’s thoughts drifted toward Ethan White.
Now that they had a lead for the investigation, figuring out Ethan's identity should be simpler.
Ethan White had always been a thorn lodged in her mind. Without clarifying his identity, she felt uneasy.
"Let's go."
Elly walked a few steps forward, unaware of the contemplative look on Sophia’s face.
After traveling sdistance, Elly was still preoccupied with Ethan White's matter. She had planned to ask Adam
Jones later about the results of their investigation into Ethan’s identity, but she unexpectedly crossed paths with
him along the way.
"I heard your group has already finished making lunch."
Ethan White stood lazily in front of her, his tall frblocking the way. His tone was unusually casual.
"Yeah, so what?"
"I'm hungry. Letceat with you."
The sheer matter-of-factness in his voice made Elly knit her brows in mild discomfort.
Letting him join for a meal wasn't a
problem. The real Roy Adam's

The words of refusal that had been at the tip of Elly’s tongue got swallowed back.
"Let's go."
