Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1554

Samuel wasn’t at lost like Nicole. Instead, he looked kind of serious.

He had already known something.

There was something weird going on on the sea and Morty wanted to send some people there to see what happened. But then everything suddenly got back to normal.

He didn’t overthink about this. But now it turned out to be an elaborate scheme.

Someone disrupted the regular ship routes and had everyone’s attention fixed on the ship routes of the Mason family. Samuel still remembered Mr. Ethan went to meet Emory in person and offered to make the ship routes of the Mason family one of the state cooperation routes, which would turn in 40% of the income to the country. And that in a way protected the ship routes of the Mason family.

If it weren’t for Mr. Ethan who went to the government first and was generous enough about the money, the other prestigious families would force the Mason family to surrender. It would be impossible for the Masons to protect the ship routes that their ancestors fought for with blood and tears.

Now, it turned out that Nick was targeting not at the Mason family but at the ship routes. But he could never anticipate that Mr. Ethan would make such a quick and wise decision which helped him get out of the trouble. And Dylan mustn’t be their only option.

“Did you have any other orders? Or, to put it in another way, did you inform other families besides the Bell family?”

“Yes, but I didn’t need to do that by myself. That rich guy did that for me. Those guys all came from wealthy families and they partied all the time. If he told Dylan, then other people would hear about this and tell their fathers.”

Aiden clearly didn’t hold anything back.

Now it was crystal clear that Nick set this whole thing up. He made Aiden spread the word and had his men messing around on the sea which disrupted the regular ship routes. And then everyone would keep an eye on the Mason family.

And if the Mason family couldn’t take the heat, the other families would attack them at once. Then, the Mason family would have to hand over their ship routes and be replaced. And Nick might be the biggest winner.

Whereas, Mr. Ethan was decisive and quick-thinking enough to do something unpredictable. His actions caught Nick off guard and protected the Mason family. Now if they thought about it, Mr. Ethan might be the reason why the cargo of the Bell family went missing.

Being capable of making the cargo of the Masons disappear and keeping his hands clean, Mr. Ethan must be shot at that time.

Thinking of that, Samuel sighed and asked, “Where is Mr. Ethan right now?”

“I don’t know. Actually, nobody knows. If the Mason family are on the sea, then they are the only authority there. As long as they are off land, no one can lay a finger on them. Mr. Ethan cut himself off from the rest of the world. We bribed the servants of the Mason family and planted bugs in their bodies. But we still couldn’t get what we want. He must be on the sea.”

His words indirectly explained that they had something to do with the deaths of the servants in the Mason family.

“So, you planted those bugs.”

“Nick did that.”

Hearing Nick’s name for so many times, Nicole couldn’t help asking, “Who is this Nick guy? How can you get in touch with him?”

“We can’t contact him. He contacted us.”

Aiden was kind of depressed.

He really wanted to tell them some useful information so they could let him go. But he really didn’t have the access to the essential intelligence.

He could tell that only Samuel and Nicole had the power to protect him.
