One of the men said respectfully, “Master, why did you let Florence come out to see Clarence? Even if she tries to cut the rope until tomorrow morning, she may not be able to cut the rope.”
In this man’s eyes, it was simply a meaningless thing.
A sneer evoked at the corner of Benjamin’s mouth and he said in an evilly playful voice, “To give her some hope. Florence can’t stop worrying and can’t leave Clarence. The more she watches Clarence suffer the more I will be able to control her.”
Using her guilt towards Clarence, Benjamin was going to exploit her thoroughly.
The man gestured respectfully with his hands, “You are wise, Master.”
Benjamin sneered, “Keep an eye on them here and ask the others not to come on the deck.”
“Yes, Master.’
Benjamin turned around and left, his figure disappearing into the darkness.
After a while, Florence sneaked over again. She held a knife and a glass of water in her hands.
Clarence looked at the glass of water with bright eyes and eagerly urged, “Hurry up, let me drink.”
This was how thirsty he was.
Florence couldn’t bear it and immediately pressed the glass of water to his lips and helped him drink it.
Clarence drank the whole glass, his thirst finally seeming to quench as he came back to life.
He opened his mouth and cursed, “Benjamin is too inhumane. He deliberately wanted me to die in the sun with thirst and hunger! Florence, when we get out of here, you must have your brother and Ernest get back at him and kill him!”
“No, let them capture him and torture him to death!”
Seeing Clarence seething with anger, Florence nodded in cooperation.
“Okay, if we get the chance, I will kill him with you. We will make sure to torture him until he dies.”
“Not enough. I will torture him all the way to hell!”
Florence was stunned and looked at Clarence in admiration. It was a punishment cruel enough.
She immediately took out the knife, “I’ll cut the rope for you first, then we will steal the life boat and run away.”
Clarence was pleasantly surprised, “Did you find the life boat?”
Florence began to cut the rope quickly and nodded at the same time, “Yeah, I saw it on the way here.”
She had been worried about how to escape but the life boat was there.
She and Clarence could take advantage of the night and run away in the life boat.
Florence had planned well and was almost full of hope. However, when she cut the rope with the knife, she was unexpectedly stunned.
What kind of rope was this?
How could it be so hard. It was really hard to cut through. She had been cutting it for a while but there was only a small dent in it.
Clarence tilted his head to look and frowned.
“This is not the ordinary rope material.”
“It doesn’t matter, I will use a bit more strength and it will break apart after more grinding.”
Florence immediately put all her energy into it and began to cut the rope vigorously.
……
The sky was dark.
With the moon hanging in the sky and millions of stars shining, it was a clear night perfectly suitable for lying down and stargazing leisurely.
However, it wasn’t peaceful at the Fraser family house.
Stanford’s handsome face looked livid as he led a group of people and strode in big steps towards the door.
At this moment, a group of bodyguards was standing in front of the door, forming a circle around a man in the middle and staring at him like tigers looking at their prey.
But Clarence cleanly avoided it every time. His reaction seemed to be chaotic, as if he was trying to avoid, but he had his own way of doing it.
The bodyguards around then were stunned and quickly turned into onlookers in a professional game.
It was wonderful.
It was the first time that they had seen someone slid through Stanford’s fingers like this. He hadn’t even shown any resistance yet. If he did, would he still have been able to fight Stanford like an equal?
But there was still some expectation.
As he avoided Stanford’s attack, Clarence asked, “Mr. Fraser, this is not the first time you have wronged me. This time, why do you insist that I am not Clarence?!”
Stanford was slightly surprised. This man seemed to know that they had doubted Clarence before. He knew a lot.
He became even more curious about the identity of the man in front of him.
Anyway, he was already trapped, so Stanford did not avoid the question and answered frankly, “Because Flory and Clarence are on a trip together right now to Firor Sea!”
He had only told Victoria and Alexander about this matter in private and no one else knew yet.
Clarence suddenly stopped evading. Stanford swung a fist over and hit him on the shoulder.
His body shook and he took two quick steps backwards so that he could stand firm.
Stanford was also a little surprised. This man obviously had excellent skills. If he hadn’t been absent minded just now, there was no way he would have been able to land the punch.
He sneered, “Now you know how low-grade your disguise is? Take off your mask!’
Dared to impersonate Clarence and came to the Fraser family’s house so overtly pretending to be Clarence, Stanford had never seen such an audacious and desperate man!
He wanted to see who he really was and why he thought he could come challenge the Fraser family’s authority.
Clarence frowned deeply, his eyes darkening.
He looked straight at Stanford, ignoring his question, and asked him simply and neatly, “How did you know that they were on a trip to Firor Sea?”
