In America, the winner takes all.

Chapter 117 The Tenth Man on Lanai Island (24)

Los Angeles, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, a private room.

17-year-old Kate Moss plucked oranges with her hands and stared at the TV hanging on the opposite wall. It was the Fox Sports West channel, which was the live broadcast of the BHHS football game in Hawaii.

Watching the game on TV, Ethan was high-fiving his teammates one by one to celebrate the victory. She subconsciously opened the drawer next to the hospital bed.

In the metal drawer, there is a pack of "MISTY" brand women's slim cigarettes. On the front of the cigarette box, a white background draws a diagonal upward-like rainbow-like pattern. The side is decorated with pink, and the lower right corner of the cigarette box has cursive writing. The slogan is "Light as a mist", which is obviously tailor-made for today's young women.

Kate took out one very familiarly and held it in her mouth. She was about to take out a lighter and light it when her movement suddenly stopped.

Then he put down the cigarette with some reluctance, thought for a moment and threw the cigarette and the box into the trash can. Then he started peeling a new orange. There were already a lot of peels in the trash can.

Keeping your mouth shut for a moment was a tip she learned from her doctor about quitting smoking.

The next time they meet, she is ready to let Ethan see a brand new version of herself.

·
At the stadium, Margaret on the edge of the field watched Ethan take off his helmet.The face that was revealed...he didn't even break a sweat.

Recalling their meeting in the restaurant yesterday, Margaret also found that he just ate a little more than ordinary people. To be precise, a lot more, but he still ate quite politely, let alone raw meat.As for not being able to speak human language and living in a cage every day, it is completely a rumor.

She wanted to walk over and apologize to Ethan, after all, she had said some unpleasant things in front of him these days, but just as she was about to take a step forward, she saw Ethan being stopped by a beautiful female reporter.

"Congratulations to the Normans for easily winning this game. Regarding this game, what do you want to share with the audience in front of the TV..." Penny handed the microphone to Ethan.Now let alone Hawaii, even if Ethan goes to the other side of the world for this game, Fox Sports West will send a broadcast team to follow the whole process.

With the exposure of Ethan's involvement in Kate and Johnny Depp's incident, his game will undoubtedly attract many non-regular sports viewers to watch the channel. Currently, he is the only high school player in the country who can "get out of the circle".

"According to some rumors, the Normans will stay for a few more days. With the game over, can you reveal the Norman team's travel plan?"

"The team's current achievements are inseparable from the efforts of all the players, including the entire coaching staff. The BHHS school also provided funds. It's time to relax. As for the travel plan..." Ethan looked at Penny aside.

Off camera, Penny winked at Ethan.

Although the team's official party in Hawaii won't start until tomorrow, Ethan's private fitness party started the night after the game.

Penny followed the address sent by Ethan to The Royal Hawaiian, a five-star resort hotel located in the center of Kiki Beach. This hotel is famous for its special pink exterior and is known as the "Pink Palace on the Pacific." When the reception staff led her to the most luxurious "sea view suite" in the hotel, Penny was shocked by the luxurious decoration.

What greeted Penny was a middle-aged woman wearing glasses who called herself Susan. She was wearing a swimsuit and no shoes. She seemed to have just come out of the swimming pool.

She led Penny through the spacious, bright and luxurious living room, and then Penny saw Ethan.

He was hugging a middle-aged woman. The two of them were standing in an outdoor private swimming pool. From that position, they could overlook Honolulu. On the edge of the pool were a variety of fruits, snacks, and of course all kinds of snacks. Fine wine.

When the woman turned her head, Penny realized that she was actually Lisa.The two had known each other before.

"Ms. Lisa." Penny was a little surprised.

Ethan couldn't afford to rent this kind of apartment. The price of one night would consume two months of a person's salary.Apparently, Lisa is the "sugar mommy" behind Ethan.

"Serve Ethan well from now on. I will suggest to Annie then and ask her to give you some opportunities to shine. If you don't do well..." Lisa stopped talking.

"I will." Penny nodded quickly.

"Don't be so serious, you're here to relax today." Ethan dragged Penny directly into the water.

Petunia's whole body was soaked and she was treated like peeling an orange by Ethan.

It turned out that there was a three-point tie inside, but Ethan immediately untied it, causing ripples to appear on the water.

"Young people are really anxious." Lisa and Susan were holding wine glasses. They originally wanted to stay out of the matter, but they were also brought into the fight by Ethan.

This was Penny's first experience. As everyone was honest with each other, she felt a little embarrassed, but she soon got into the state under the guidance of the two seniors, and she was boiling over in a short time, which was much shorter than her average time.

Then there was Susan, standing on the edge with her arms on the edge of the pool, admiring the shore after dark and taking in the ferocity behind her.

"Do you still miss your late husband?" Ethan whispered from behind.

Susan looked troubled.

Ethan stopped immediately.

"I don't want to anymore." Susan seemed to be begging.

"louder please."

"I don't want to anymore!!!" Susan shouted loudly, and then her voice became softer.

Next it was Lisa's turn.

"Who was pushing me from behind just now?"

“Who is taking photos of embarrassing expressions again?”

Susan and Penny were on the left and right, with Ethan standing between them, and the three of them gradually swam over.

"I...I don't feel well today." Lisa said in a hurry.

Soon the lie was revealed. Ethan placed her on the edge of the swimming pool and forced her way in, while Susan and Penny provided complementary food.In less than an hour, the first round of offense in this game ended.Susan Penny scored one point each and Lisa scored two points, thanks to Ethan's dedicated care.

"Generally, there are two to three offenses in each quarter of a rugby field. In other words, there are more than a dozen rounds in a rugby match." Ethan, hugging his left and right, explained the total number of offenses in a rugby match to the three of them.

"No wonder the rugby match only happens once a week." Susan smiled evilly, suddenly realizing.

"No wonder rugby is so energy-consuming." Penny lowered her head.On the field, the formation area was already muddy.

"No wonder you like football so much." Lisa shook her head and sighed. This is the point.

Then the four of them had a meal together to replenish their energy. All four of them drank a lot of wine. Accompanied by the low electronic music, the three of them finally knew what a "real rugby player" was, from the swimming pool to the living room to the room to the bathroom. ...Unconsciously, time passes.

No matter what kind of party it is, it seems that it will eventually evolve into a real party.The carnival on the pier between the players and cheerleaders the next day was obviously more in line with the lifestyle of young people.

Cooper stood on the railing at the edge of the pier, facing everyone, jumped suddenly, rolled many times in the air, and fell into the water.

Like dumplings, the football players and cheerleaders jumped into the water.

Swimming, surfing, sunbathing...

"Coach Thomas will pay for all the expenses!" Ethan held up a beer bottle and cheered, causing everyone to boo.

While everyone was cheering, he pulled Amy and Naomi to leave.

"Where are you taking my team members?" A voice sounded immediately behind him.

"Go back to the hotel, do you want to come with us?" Ethan turned around and looked at Sarah up and down today.

"Okay, who's afraid of whom?" Sarah was not deceived this time.

Several people have disappeared, and Ethan must have arranged them somewhere.

"You must take me with you, otherwise I will ask the rest of the people to follow you." Sarah crossed her arms and finally got the chance to make Ethan suffer.

Unexpectedly, instead of refusing, Ethan nodded immediately: “Don’t go back on what you said.”

Ethan took the three people off the public beach, got on a speedboat at the pier not far away, and went around to the other side of the beach. Then Ethan took the three people on a propeller seaplane and took off from the sea... all the way north. .

"Where are we going?" Sarah looked uneasy.

Ethan looked at the little white pigeon enclosed by her red polka-dot swimsuit and said, "Lana'i."

Hawaii is not an island, but an archipelago of 132 islands. Lanai is the smallest of the inhabited islands, with a permanent population of 3000. In 1985, two luxury resorts and golf courses were built here. Specially catering to wealthy tourists.

In 2012, 98% of the entire island was purchased by Oracle founder Larry Ellison for US$ million, and it has since become his private domain.

When she heard that she would stay on this island for two full days and three nights, Sarah couldn't sit still.

"I'm not going, I want to leave!"

Ethan nodded: "Push open the hatch and you can jump down at any time."

"You kidnapped me!"

"That's right, there's no point even calling 911 when you get there." Ethan threatened.

In fact, there is not only mobile phone signal but also TV signal in the resort.Convenient enough yet private enough.

It is simply a holy place for private gold parties.The premise is that there must be a sugar mommy like Lisa who is not short of money to pay for it.

About an hour later, the seaplane began to land. After leaving a long trace on the water, it stopped at the edge of the pier.

The four of them got down from the cockpit. Sarah, who had been noisy before, immediately fell silent. She was obviously attracted by the beautiful natural landscape of the resort.

"It won't be just the four of us, right?" Sarah didn't mention leaving, but asked who was participating in the private vacation organized by Ethan.

"You'll know right away."

After passing through a cobblestone path in the forest, it suddenly opened up. This is a small beach in a dense forest. The sand is fine and clean, and the sea is sparkling. There are no jet skis or sampans on the public water to block the view.

On the beach, there were several women sunbathing in a row, and there was another one swimming in shallow water in the distance.

Mia, Catherine, Lisa, Susan, Charlize, Penny, Jennifer, plus the three brought by Ethan, no more, no less, exactly ten women.Sarah also made up for the regret that Liv couldn't come.

The three cheerleaders only knew Catherine and Ethan's mother Mia, as well as Jennifer, who came with them this time.

"Want to stay?" Ethan looked at Sarah.

On one side is a crowded public area, and on the other side is a quiet, luxurious private tour with beautiful scenery, unlimited food and drink, and no one to disturb you. Individuals will choose the latter.

Sarah nodded immediately.

"Okay, please settle your own share of the bill first." Ethan stretched out his hand.
