“Do I look like a three–year–old? So easy to deceive?” Kim suddenly grinned fiercely.

It seemed she had become so obsessed that nothing could get through to her.

“So what do you want me to do to make you believe I’m telling the truth?”

Kim sneered, her smile cold and sinister. “When you’re dead, I’ll believe you.”

“Because, only a dead person can be trusted!”

You’re a lunatic!” Eliza’s heart raced as she saw the madness in Kim’s eyes, a chill running down her spine.

At this point, there was a party happening on the cruise ship, and most people had gone there to have fun.

The room’s soundproofing was excellent, and even if she screamed with all her might, no one might hear her.

Otherwise, Kim wouldn’t dare to be so openly bold in kidnapping her.

Moreover, she had spent the last couple of days working and resting in the room. A few hours of missing time would be hard for anyone to notice.

Kim saw right through Eliza’s thoughts and laughed madly. “Give up struggling! The entire cruise ship belongs to my Blake family. We’re now on the high seas.

lawless zone. I can do whatever I want, and no one can save you.”

ust as Eliza was trembling in terror, Kim’s expression changed. She snapped at the bodyguards, Throw her overboard!”

n the next moment, Eliza felt herself being lifted into the air.

efore she could even scream, the overwhelming sensation of falling engulfed her…

he sea breeze was too loud, and the waves crashed against the ship, drowning out her desperate cries, as if the boundless, all–consuming sea night had

wallowed her voice entirely.

im smirked, lifting her glass and pouring the remaining half of the red wine into the sea.

I was like a tribute.

Brother–in–law,” Kim stammered, her previous arrogance gone.

Quick, save my sister! She’s been thrown into the sea!” Ophelia’s words were clear for once.

ega’s face turned pale in an instant.

he next moment, Kim was kicked across the room.

f it weren’t for the bodyguards protecting her, she might have been sent flying into the sea herself.

till unsteady, she saw a shadow quickly climb over the balcony and leap into the sea without hesitation.

liza couldn’t swim.

he never thought it would be an issue before.

But at this moment, she realized just how important it was to know how to swim!

The winter sea was unbearably cold, so cold that she barely managed a few frantic splashes before the waves slammed her underwater.

The icy water felt like a thousand needles, Instantly piercing through her thin clothes and drilling into every pore.

It reached her very bones.

She didn’t even have time to scream before the ocean’s bottomless depths swallowed her entire being.

Salty liquid surged into her mouth and nostrils…

The taste was strong and overpowering. like sandpaper, scraping down her throat.

The suffocation was relentless.

Her lungs felt as if they were squeezed by an invisible hand, and she struggled for air

The air was quickly vanishing, and her brain was issuing sharp warnings from the lack of oxygen

She frantically waved her arms, kicked her legs, trying to grasp something–anything

But all her fingers touched was the cold, sticky, seemingly endless ocean.

Her body descended uncontrollably.

Gradually, the light from the cruise ship became faint and blurry.

Just as the darkness began to swallow her consciousness, the sea surged once more.

Eliza woke up gasping for fresh air.

She inhaled deeply, feeling like she could only prove she was alive by breathing in as much air as possible.

Vega was on the balcony, speaking on the phone with a sharp tone, no trace of his usual gentleness

Don’t bring up Evie Blake to plead for her! If it weren’t for Evie, she wouldn’t have survived last night.”

If the Blake family insists on interfering, don’t blame me for withdrawing support from Blake Group.”

You should know, without Vega’s support, Blake Group wouldn’t last three months

I’ve been more than patient with the Blake family

ifter hanging up. Vega turned and saw Eliza awake. He immediately walked over with concern, asking, “Are you awake? Are you feeling okay?”

liza’s voice was hoarse, “I can’t seem to catch my breath.”

It’s a result of near–drowning. The doctor said there’s some swelling in your lungs.”

fter she drank, she asked him, “What about Ophelia?”

She’s traumatized. She’s seeing a psychologist now.”
