CHAPTER 2029

Chapter 2029 The sea, especially within a 10–odd– mile radius where the eyes could see, was practically endless. Even a swimmer would find their strengt h steadily evaporating as the hope of seeing land or rescue, along with the warmth of their body, were s lowly chipped away by the claws of icy water. Without ample preparations and gear, death was a surety . Two bodyguards yanked Sandy by her arm with their dear life, but the obstinate mule kicked up a roug h fight. Beads of sweat bathed her hands before rolling down the arms.

Colton rushed to the railing and bellowed, “Are you suicidal!?” Sandy gave out a sheer, mirthless laugh. “I‘d rather die than see you people gloat!” Shock jolted through Colton. “Wait–” The woman pried her ar m out of his grip with all her might. The force knocked her off balance, and she toppled, plunging straig ht into the sea below. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

The water swallowed her.

It was then that several speedboats emerged from a distance. Two helicopters circled above the sea, inching close to Colton‘s ship, before another ocean liner appeared. The door to one of the helicopters opened, a ladder unfurled, and a silhouette descended upon the deck “W aylon?” Colton blurted out.

Waylon placed his hand on his brother‘s shoulder. “Two days ago, I received some news. I rushed home, and I came as soon as I heard about you intercepting Donald‘s ship. I was worrie d.”

As the brothers headed inside the cabin, Colton asked, “News from who?” Waylon laughed. “Nollace, o f course.”

Colton did not seem shocked at all. “Huh, the man lives.”

Waylon hummed. “He‘s in the East Islands now with the Southerns family.” The ships returned to the pi er where Yaramoor embassy personnel and the Interpol waited. Sandy and some of Donald‘s men wer e promptly brought to the team.

The representative from the Yaramoor embassy shook hands with Waylon after the captives were transferred to them. “We cannot thank you enough for your help, Mr. Gol

“These people are all in cahoots with Donald Matthews, who‘s now hiding somewhere within the East Islands. More tro

The team left. The incident, as it seemed, for the time being, was settled. Waylon and Colton hurried ho

Colton stiffened. “Fishing?” The butler sighed. “Well, Miss Daisie hasn‘t been in good spirits, Master Col waster ever. Their grandfather was nice to have brought Daisie out, though. Waylon took a sip of tea and laughed. “Better than cooping
