My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 540

Now, it was the perfect chance for them to escape.

He didn’t dare to delay a single second. Immediately, she walked to Florence and asked, “Where is the boat? Hurry up and let’s go. Let’s leave now!”

He would never want to be Benjamin’s jailbird again.

After drinking the water, Florence moved her body. Now she had a lot of her physical strength back.

Her eyes were lit up, full of hope.

Last night she couldn’t do anything to stop Ernest from going to the Fraser family’s villa, but now she could escape, saving a lot of trouble for them.

As long as Benjamin hadn’t married her, he wouldn’t get the right of succession of the Turner family. Even Ernest’s reputation was ruined, he was still the only inherit. At least, he wouldn’t have a powerful rival.

If she could be safe, Ernest could at least have a chance to fight for it.

Florence pointed in the direction where the small corridor was. “It’s behind there. Let me show you.”

As she spoke, Florence walked to the corridor first.

It was not as bright as the daytime yet, so it was dim everywhere. There was nobody else on the deck. Even the bodyguards on patrol walked not so frequently.

She had discovered their regular pattern, so she was quite experienced in hiding from the bodyguards with Clarence.

Soon, they arrived at the place where the boat was kept.

Clarence was overjoyed. He jumped down first.

Standing in the boat, he joyfully urged Florence to jump down in a hurry and while trying to untie the rope on the boat.

The rope was untied but they also heard the sound of the iron rope colliding.

It wasn’t loud but it sounded quite harsh in the quiet early morning.

Clarence suddenly stiffed, afraid that others would hear the sound.

Florence frowned and asked nervously, “What happened?”

Clarence saw that nobody came over through the corridor and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked along the rope carefully.

With a glimpse, he became angry and couldn’t help but curse, “Fuck!”

Florence was confused. Standing on the yacht, she bent over and looked towards the front of Clarence. Unexpectedly, she saw there was another iron rope under the role on the boat.

Besides the iron rope was locked by a huge lock.

Florence looked a bit pale. “Clarence, can you open the lock?”

Clarence didn’t answer.

He had been a playboy for over two decades, but he regretted that he didn’t have the habit to sneak into girls’ rooms at midnight.

There was only silence around them in a few seconds.

Clarence pulled out the knife that Florence used to cut his rope, looking quite determined. “This boat is made of wood. I can drill on it.”

If he could drill around the stake, the iron rope would drop.

Although it was a stupid method, they couldn’t do anything else, anyway.

Florence said, “I’ll help you.”

As she spoke, she was about to jump into the small boat.

Suddenly, a big hand was reached out and it grabbed Florence’s arm, pulling her backward.

Florence was off-guard, bumping into the man’s chest.

The stranger’s scent overwhelmed her.

Florence suddenly stiffed. With a pale face, she suddenly looked back.

Her voice was trembling. “Ben... Benjamin Turner!”

Benjamin stared at Florence tenderly, looking quite delighted.

He said, “Flory, you’ve been working hard to cut off the rope. Aren’t your hands exhausted?”

Florence stiffed in an instant.

“Boom!” She felt that there was an explosion in her brain, and her mind went blank.

She wondered what he meant.

He had known that she kept cutting the role with a knife for a whole night and save Clarence, hadn’t he? That meant...

She said, feeling remorseful and angry, “You’ve already known last night that I sneaked out to help Clarence, haven’t you?”
