“Throw…”
Before the maid could finish her sentence, Abigail’s frightening gaze caused her to swallow the rest of her words.
“I’ll arrange for someone to do it at once.”
With that, the maid hurriedly left. She was fearful because that was her first time seeing Abigail, who had always
been gentle and kind, regard her with that menacing look.
Micah was delighted to meet with Gaspar. They chatted happily and boasted about their achievements as they
drank alcohol continuously.
Meanwhile, a cunning and smug look flashed across Anna’s eyes as she watched them drink the alcohol that was
adulterated.
Micah and Gaspar became very drunk after some time. Abigail brought Micah back to his room while Anna
instructed her subordinate to bring Gaspar back to her mansion.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnna went to take a shower after asking the servants to help Gaspar wash up and place him on her bed. Then,
when she entered the room, she reached out to switch off the lights, took off her towel, and threw herself onto
Gaspar.
Gaspar, who was already aroused, rolled over and pinned Anna under him. As he kissed her passionately, a single
thought surfaced within Anna’s mind.
Ultimately, you’ve become mine, Maddox…
At that moment, the two people who were thrown into the sea were focusing on swimming toward the shore.
As she swam, Arielle suddenly realized there was no splashing sound behind her. She turned around and noticed
Lorraine was already sinking. Arielle hastily swam toward Lorraine and grabbed the latter with one arm before she
continued swimming toward the shore.
“Boss, you don’t have to bother saving me,” Lorraine uttered weakly.
During the past period, Lorraine had been forced to do various hard labor and was fed with a minimal amount of
food. As a result, she did not have the energy to swim back ashore after being thrown into the sea.
“Stop talking. Conserve your strength,” Arielle said sternly as she swam while dragging Lorraine along.
However, her own energy was quickly depleting too.
Sensing Arielle’s decreasing speed, Lorraine knew Arielle was reaching her limit, and she laughed.
“Boss, I’m so glad I met you in this lifetime!”
With that, she tried to pry Arielle‘s hand away from hers, not wanting to burden her further. She was contented,
knowing that Arielle was willing to save her despite the life-threatening risk.
“Stop messing around, Lorraine. Look! There’s a cruise ship approaching us. There’s a chance for us to survive
now,” Arielle said while panting heavily.
Lorraine shifted her gaze, following Arielle’s line of vision, and indeed saw a cruise ship moving in their direction.
However, she wondered if they could hang in there until the ship arrived.
I don’t have any energy left, and I can tell Boss is getting exhausted too. I must not be a burden to Boss…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that thought, she struggled mightily to unclasp Arielle’s hand and allowed her body to sink.
Just as Lorraine thought she was dying, someone suddenly pulled her up again.
“Lorraine, if you dare to give up again, I will never forgive you!” Arielle used up all her strength to haul Lorraine up
from underwater and swam toward the shore.
Her arms were sore, and she could feel her stamina seeping away.
“There seems to be someone there!” Carlos surveyed his surroundings using a pair of binoculars out of habit.
All of a sudden, he saw two people floating on the surface of the sea. He swiftly ordered his men to speed up
ahead, and upon reaching their location, Carlos instructed his crew to pull those people up to the deck.
Carlos was stunned when he saw the faces of those people he had just rescued because he did not expect one
ofthem to be Arielle.
They hurriedly performed emergency first aid on Arielle and Lorraine.
Naturally, the sudden commotion attracted the attention of Vinson, who had just exited the restroom. Colors
drained from his face when he approached the scene and saw Arielle, who was lying on the floor and being
resuscitated.
