In a hotel room in Worchester City, Sherry and Thomas sat opposite each other. Each of them held a glass of red wine and celebrated their successful scheme. “Congratulations, Ms. Foster. You’ve managed to get rid of your number-one love rival.” Thomas swirled his wine glass at Sherry and gave her a victorious smile. Sherry smiled coldly. Her gaze was ruthless. “Don’t be too happy just yet. Keep an eye on that ship at all times. This is just the beginning. You’d better make sure everything goes smoothly, or it’ll be a futile effort if it doesn’t achieve the effect I want.” “Ms. Foster, you worry too much. I’m a veteran of the jungle. What kind of tricks have I not played before? Don’t you want to watch the two of them doing something improper? I’ll do as you ask, hehe.” Thomas smiled sinisterly and downed the red wine in his glass. He was overjoyed at the thought of him making Thaddeus a cuckold soon. “That’s good. As long as you achieve the effect that I’m satisfied with, y
“Heh, I know. I’m not so stupid as to be irredeemable. Just watch,” Thomas replied to Sherry. “Then, I wish you a successful victory.” Sherry raised her glass at Thomas and smiled triumphantly. She leisurely poured herself another glass of red wine and drank it. The red liquid in the glass was reflected on her face, making her look rather hideous in the dark light. Jealousy and possessiveness had made her lose her mind. Sherry only wanted to destroy Mona at the moment. Thaddeus had serious issues with loyalty. If Mona slept with another man, one could imagine her position in his heart after that. If the plan worked out well, Mona’s place in Thaddeus’ heart would be seriously compromised. At that time, Sherry would have to seize her opportunity. Sherry curled her lips. She could not help but laugh to herself at the thought of her seamless plan. …After a span of time, it seemed to be raining outside. Water kept dripping down through the gaps of the deck. The environme
When Victor spoke, he breathed heavily on top of Mona’s head, making her feel uncomfortable. She twisted her body and tried to break free from his restraint, but she was completely drained of strength. Mona could only give up on struggling in the end. She quietly let Victor talk to himself. Perhaps because Victor had suppressed too many emotions, his voice trembled as he spoke. He used a soft tone to express his infatuated love for Mona, “Suzy, I’m sorry. I apologize for the things I’ve done to hurt you, but I beg you not to forget me. At least, let me stay in a corner of your heart. Let’s not become strangers, okay? Please?” Mona closed her eyes. Her body was sapped of strength, and she did not know how to respond. At last, she could only whisper helplessly, “I’m sorry, Victor. I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.” Victor shook when he heard her. His eyes were filled with grief. “Don’t say sorry. I was the one who lost you in the first place, so it was my fault.” Mona opened
“Mr. Fontaine, where do you want to go?” Marcus asked Thaddeus. “I’m going to find them myself.” Thaddeus stood up. No emotions could be seen on his handsome face as he strode out of the Fontaines’ villa. …Water dripped all night, causing the temperature of the space below the deck to drop to freezing point. Mona felt that the cold was piercing her body. If this continued, she and Victor would freeze to death here. In addition to not having any water so far, their bodies would soon be dehydrated. Mona looked up and carefully observed for a long time. The water did not seem like raindrops from the sky. Given the sound of footsteps going back and forth, it was more like people were pouring water down. Mona did not know their intention, but they went through a great deal of effort just to set her and Victor up. At this time, Mona looked sideways at the exhausted man who had fallen asleep beside her. She gently nudged his shoulder. When she touched the skin on his face, she f
Mona heard the conversation of the people above and could not help but sigh with relief. If the waters were sealed off, it meant that this ship could not go further. If she was lucky, a patrol boat would come to check the ship and would surely find something fishy. In that case, she and Victor would have a high chance of escaping. Mona sat quietly below the deck. What she had to do at the moment was to preserve her strength and quietly wait for the turn of events. Not long after that, the exit of the deck was opened again. The two men who took Victor away came down. One of them took a rope and retied Mona’s hands and feet. “Behave well and come up with us.” The men pushed and pulled her to the hanging lander. She climbed up the steep ladder bit by bit. When she got up on the boat, she realized that she was on a vast sea with no bounds. “Some people will come over to check on us later. We’ll untie you, but if the people ask what you do, just say you’re the cook here. Don’t
“What do you want?” the bearded man asked Mona. “I’d like to borrow your phone and make a call home.” The bearded man snuffed out his cigarette and laughed out loud. “What wishful thinking. We’re on the sea and there’s no signal. You want to make a call?” Mona was embarrassed by the ridicule. She was so intent on contacting her children that she did not think too much about it. While they were talking, someone shouted, “The inspectors are here!” Everyone looked over at the same time. Several huge navy ships surrounded their vessel from all directions. Someone on one of the navy ships shouted through a loudspeaker and told everyone on board to hold their heads and crouch down. The ship’s crew had not seen such a shocking scene before. They held their heads and crouched down as they were told. Mona stood in place on the deck to look at the heavily armed team. She smiled. She stood with a heavy head as she looked at the intersection of the sea and the sky. Moonlight slow
Without giving Mona a chance to fight back, Thaddeus clutched the back of her head and sealed her moaning lips. Mona widened her eyes in surprise. The man’s assertive act made her heart beat out of her chest. Powerless to retaliate, Mona went along with it, closing her eyes and indulging in the locking of tongues. It was not until Mona started to suffer from a lack of oxygen and could not breathe that she pushed the man away. Thaddeus pulled himself out of the moment of ecstasy. God only knew that he nearly let his animalistic instincts take over and go all the way. Mona made lingering eye contact with the man, and his burning gaze could make Mona melt. She looked down, averting her gaze. With a smug smile, Thaddeus reached out to brush against the corner of her lips. She was bleeding from the bite. Mona licked her lips and was stung by the pain. There was something sultry about the way the tip of her tongue rolled against the blood streaks. Swallowing hard, Thaddeus lea
These senior members had absolute say among the rich and powerful of Worchester City and were conservative, to say the least. News that Thaddeus stirred a huge commotion for a woman did not sit well with them, and Thaddeus would be getting it once he returned. “Sir, you’ll need to go back and have a sit-down with them. They are demanding answers on this. Otherwise, they won’t hesitate to put you before a court martial.”Thaddeus scoffed, not taking the matter seriously. The Fontaines dominated among the four major families in Worchester City, and Thaddeus was the leader of the Fontaine family. Together, the other families carried less than a third of the Fontaines’ esteem. All eyes were on Thaddeus, waiting for the moment he would make a wrong move. Here came their chance. These senile old forks had gathered in the COC meeting room and were all over Master Fontaine from the moment the coast was on lockdown. Apparently, Thaddeus’s order was a huge blow to Worchester City’s sea fr
