Ann was crying and smiling at the same time, her small face streaked with tears. Her voice was thick with congestion as she cried, “Mommy, it’s my fault, I made you worry so much. Mommy, in my next life, I’ll definitely be healthy, and I’ll call you Mommy again.”

Tatiana watched the screen, tears streaming down her face, shaking her head desperately. “Ann, don’t. Don’t…”

Finally, Ann looked at Jasper. At that moment, her bright, big eyes glistened with tears. “Daddy.”

Jasper froze.

“I originally thought… I’d find a better, more suitable time to acknowledge you. But… there’s no time.”

Jasper’s eyes, rarely, reddened. “Ann, there is time. Please, throw the medicine away?”

“Daddy.”

His eyes grew redder, his voice hoarse. “I’m here.”

“Help me take good care of Mommy, okay?”

“Ann!”

“And Hubert.”

“Ann, don’t take the medicine!”

Just as Ann poured out the pills, preparing to swallow them, Tatiana’s heart–wrenching scream suddenly came from the screen. “Ann! I have never blamed you! I am so proud of you.”

As she finished speaking, she did something no one could have expected. She grabbed the man’s gun with a reverse grip. The next second, a gunshot rang out.

“Tatiana!!”

A flower of blood bloomed on her chest, and her body slowly slumped. In that final moment, she was smiling. Her smile was mixed with tears as she looked at Ann and Jasper on the screen, full of reluctance to leave.

“Silly child… How could Mommy bear to let you trade your life for hers…”

Splash.

Chapter 333 Tatiana’s Sacrifice

She fell into the sea.

Jasper’s eyes were bloodshot, looking as if they would split. “Tatiana!!”

Ann’s eyes flew wide. She reached out desperately, trying to touch the screen. “Mommy!!”

Madam White’s heart sank. Damn it! Who could have imagined this woman would kill herself? With one side of the scale gone, the leverage was lost. The deal was naturally off.

Jasper went berserk. He raised his gun and fired repeatedly at Madam White. “You deserve to die!”

But the crewmen beside Madam White were loyal, instantly shielding her with their bodies. “Madam, run…”

Gunshots rang out one after another. The string in Jasper’s mind called ‘reason‘ finally snapped. He went completely mad, wanting to send every last person to the bottom of the sea.

Ann was on the floor, the pill bottle rolling away, muttering, “Mommy…” Her vision went black, and she fainted.

Two days later.

The entire sea was densely packed with search and rescue boats, trawling 24 hours a day, non-

stop.

Someone remarked, “This is costing millions every minute. Rich people really know how to burn money.

Who on earth could be this important?”

“Why do you care so much? Just get to work. The pay and benefits are great. I heard if anyone is recovered, dead or alive, the reward is a million!”

“Bullshit. This area is full of undercurrents. If you get sucked in, you’d be lucky not to be torn to pieces. Who knows where the currents would take you? How could they possibly find anyone?”

“Shh, you can’t say that. The man in charge forbids anyone from mentioning death.”

The crew members looked abashed, not daring to discuss it further, and continued their work.

But despite the boat–by–boat trawling and the divers searching day and night, the sea–fallen Tatiana was not found.

Everyone guessed that her body had likely been swept away by an undercurrent or whirlpool, carried to an unknown region of the sea. The hope of finding her was slim.

On the main ship, the atmosphere was tense.

“Have you found her?” The voice was hoarse, like a broken bellows wheezing out its last breath.

The subordinates all bowed their heads. “Not yet.”

“Continue. Increase the effort. Deploy more ships.”

One subordinate couldn’t help but say, “Boss, this is the maximum deployment. If we add any more, I’m afraid it will attract the attention of the two neighboring countries, and they will intervene.”

This sea region they were in was situated between two countries; it was not unclaimed international water. Such a massive fleet of ships had already attracted attention and put on high alert.

“Do as I say. I will handle all consequences.” The ice–cold voice was thick with killing intent.

The subordinate didn’t dare say another word and left to carry out the order.

After he left, the room was silent. The floor was covered in cigarette butts.

A man sat on the sofa, motionless, like a stone statue.

A long time later, he moved, pressed a remote, and an enlarged photo appeared on the screen.

It was a photo of Tatiana. It was clearly a candid shot. In it, her smile was warm and radiant, making it impossible to look away.

Jasper slowly stood up, reached out his hand, and touched her cheek on the screen.

The light and shadows fell on him, making the graying hair at his temples all the more obvious.

The moment Tatiana was shot and fell into the sea, his heart had died along with her.

His hair had turned white overnight.

He was holding on by a thread, mobilizing his men, searching relentlessly.

As the 48–hour rescue window passed with still no news, he was about to break.

“Tatiana, where are you…”

He had lost her once again.

And once again, he had been unable to protect her.
