Chapter 149 Stay on the Island

She could no longer see his expression clearly, but she felt that the man was smiling.

After speaking, he coldly looked to John beside him and asked, "Is the speedboat not ready yet?"

He would never let Avery leave. As soon as he finished speaking, his vision darkened, and his body suddenly collapsed.

After days of sleeplessness, not eating or drinking, coupled with a high fever, it was not unexpected for Jacob to collapse.

John sighed helplessly as he watched the speedboat gradually drift away.

"Mrs. Hill, run away."

She sat motionless in a curled-up position as if her soul had been drained out.

Frank squatted in front of her and handed her a cup of coffee, which only had a little warmth left. "If you're scared, I can take you back."

Avery took a sip, and the sweetness dispelled some of the darkness in her heart.

"I don't want to go back." Avery tightly gripped the cup, feeling pitiful like an abandoned puppy.

"He will lock me up and not let me leave that room," she said.

Frank furrowed his brows, looking somewhat puzzled.

"Rather than possessiveness, it's more about hatred. He believes that my father caused the death of his sister, but isn't he also involved in what my father has become today?"

Avery felt so sad that she couldn't breathe. "I shouldn't have targeted his son. In the end, I not only failed to harm him but also put myself in danger. I'm truly useless."
