Chapter 2028 The men moved aside, revealing a path toward the ship. “It‘s time to board your ride, ma‘am. The ship sets sail 15 minutes later.”
Sandy was more than excited to take up the offer. The men led her to her bedroom before immediately asking, “Sorry for the inconvenience, but please pass your phone to us, ma‘am.” Sandy was confused. “Why?”
“Mr. Matthews worries that someone might have bugged your phone to find out where he is. It‘s pertinent that you switch your phone off and hand it to us before we reach the Eastern Islands.”
The woman hesitated, but she remembered how cautious Donald was and obliged. The liner left the pier. The shore seemed to be retreating away while Sandy paced in her room. She felt strangely uneasy. She opened the door and walked out to the corridor before making her way to the deck.
Two men appeared to be talking to each other while smoking, but Sandy quickly realized that none of them were her previous escorts. They did not look like Orasians at all. She had never seen either of them by Donald‘s side. Sandy began to backpedal from the deck, careful to be as quiet and undetected as possible. She did not make it far before she was stopped in her tracks by a bump against her back. Her eyes twitched. She turned behind her sharply. Strangers had emerged in droves. A few men in black emerged from the floor above the deck and blocked every escape route. Quivering, Sandy asked, “W–Who are” A familiar voice answered her from above. “Don‘t recognize me already, Mrs. Pruitt?” A man was standing on the floor above the deck with his back against the light. His features were obscured by the shadow until he descended the stairs, his shirt billowing in the wind. Sandy‘s shock struck her as soon as she recognized the man. “Coleman Goldmann!?” ‘How could this be!?‘ Colton fell into steps before his bodyguard, and a smile shadowed his lips. “Curious? How did I know that you‘re the one Donald‘s hoping to receive?”
A nasty glower overcame Sandy‘s mien. “Y–You have your people following me!” she bellowed. “You promised you would let me go! You lied! You broke your own promise!” Colton‘s smile vanished. “No.You broke yours first. I simply learned from you. Besides, had I not let you go, I would have never known about your secret contact with Donald.”
