When Gracie saw that Preston had been convinced by her, she spoke with renewed vigour and malice, "Kill Freya! Kill the bastard that Freya and Kieran had! Only when they are dead will we have the nerve to face Regina when we die."
Gracie's voice came to an abrupt halt, as the knife in the hands of Kieran's bodyguard was already ruthlessly pressed against her mouth, and if she said another word, she would be stabbed until she was drenched in blood.
No, even if she didn't speak again, she started to bleed.
The sharp knife pressed against the side of her lips, pressed down so hard that blood splattered.
The intense pain through made Gracie want to let out a scream, but she didn't dare to open her mouth wide with force, because, if she opened her mouth just a little bit more, the knife in the man's hand, would completely poke her mouth through.
"Gracie!" Preston's eyes were red with desire, he could not wait to rush to her and shield her from the storm, he also took a step forward, but thinking that Alistair was now his biggest rely on, he finally retreated.
If he had no more hostages in his hands, he would be even less able to save the woman he loved!
"Preston, do it! Kill Freya and that child!" Kieran touched the armrest of her wheelchair as if inadvertently.
Preston's face became pale, he also wanted to kill Freya and this sinful child, but if they died, Gracie, too, would not survive!
"Don't hurt Gracie! Don't you hurt her!" Seeing the knife in Kieran's bodyguard's hand, ruthlessly slashing at Gracie's tongue, Preston could no longer restrain the pain rushing out of his heart.
He stared at Kieran with a deadly gaze, just like a dog in a lost home. Suddenly, all the fierce light in his eyes sank a little, leaving only an endless decadence.
"Let Gracie go! As long as you release Gracie, I will spare the life of this sinful bastard!"
"No......" Gracie shook her head vigorously, she was now scared to death, but she was even more unwilling to lose all her efforts just like that, only, just as she was about to say something else, the sharp knife fiercely slashed through the corner of her mouth, and she could only wail in pain.
"Gracie!"
Preston's mental defences completely collapsed as he untied the ropes from his hands bit by bit. Freya thought that he was trying to drop Alistair, so scared that her heart almost leapt out.
Luckily, he was not trying to drop Alistair, but to lower him down from the mast.
Seeing Alistair's tiny body getting closer and closer to the deck, Freya couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief.
She stepped forward and tried to snatch Alistair from Preston's hands, but Preston was so strong that he tightly grabbed Alistair into his arms before she could even get close to him.
"One life for one life! If you let Gracie go, I will immediately let this sinful child go!" Preston's large hands moved, inch by inch, to Alistair's neck, "Otherwise, I'll strangle this sinful bastard to death right now!"
"Don't you hurt him!" Seeing Alistair, whose face had turned bloodless, Freya's heart ached so much that her heart was about to break.
Alistair's lips were so white that not a trace of blood could be seen, and Freya knew that he must be very, very scared, but his face was still without a trace of expression, and his eyes had only a deep, dead silence.
"Send Gracie over here! Make sure we get out of here safely!" Preston jumped down from the deck with Alistair in his arms and continued to make his conditions to Caelan and Kieran, "Send us to the border! When we get to safety, I will naturally let this sinful bastard go!"
Kieran did not say anything, his eyelids lowered, hiding most of the emotions in his eyes, it was unknown what he was actually thinking.
Seeing him like this, Freya was angry and anxious, Alistair was his child, how could he not be the least bit anxious for their baby!
