Azalea took a glance down below. Although they were on an old cargo ship, there was still the sea beneath them. However, considering the height of three. containers plus the cargo ship, a fall from here would surely not end well.
“You’re not just after the money. You’re trying to kill me,” Eugene stated calmly. Cameron guffawed at that. “Say whatever you want.” As he spoke, Eugene’s phone rang. It was a call from Olivia.
Eugene quietly laughed at how much fun his woman was having. Since he also wanted to divert their attention, he swiped across the screen to answer the call. “What’s wrong, Olivia?”
On the other end of the line, Olivia put on her best acting skills. “Eugene! Please come and save me! Hurry!”
Her helpless and desperate plea for help made the man instinctively nervous. He couldn’t tell if she was telling the truth or not.
After all, Azalea’s situation has already deviated from the plan. Does this mean that Olivia and the children have not reached home yet?
“Olivia! Olivia, where are you?” Considering the possibility of him having the call on speaker mode, she maintained her acting skills. “I’m at Westend. They want to kill me! Eugene, please save me…”
Eugene asked again, “What about the bodyguards? I assigned bodyguards for you, didn’t I?” “I don’t see any bodyguards!”
Eugene finally could tell that Olivia was acting upon hearing that. And here I am, so close to having a heart attack! As his tense body relaxed, he pretended to be anxious and comforted her, “Don’t panic, okay? Don’t worry. I’ll be there right away.”
While acting uneasy on the phone, he paced back and forth as if he was genuinely frantic. Azalea felt guiltier when she saw him doing. that. It was she who had trapped him in this dilemma. She knew that this was all staged, but that wasn’t the same for Eugene.
She had betrayed his trust and wasted his effort in giving up on Olivia to come and save her. Cameron, on the other hand, grew angry from the embarrassment as he looked at Azalea’s worried face. “What the f*ck are you looking at?” he growled while moving the knife and slashing it across her cheek.
The woman reacted by letting out a muffled scream as blood dripped from her face. When Eugene saw that they were distracted, he quickly hurled his phone at Cameron’s knife, knocking it out of Cameron’s hand and onto the floor with a clang.
Startled, Cameron reached out to pick up the knife, only to have Eugene approach to pull Azalea away from him.
Cameron noticed Eugene’s intentions and started running toward Azalea. After all, he was closer to her. When he realized Eugene was about to grab him, he instinctively reached out to block the man. He intended to shield himself, but he didn’t realize that Azalea was already at the edge of the container. With his sudden push, she lost her footing and fell off.
“Azalea!” Eugene was so shocked that he lunged forward. to grab her, but since her hands were bound, he only managed to grab hold of her clothes.
Cameron froze on the spot. As he came back to his senses, he was just about to lean over and help when he heard the familiar sound of fabric ripping. Eugene desperately yelled, “Come here and save her!”
Before the two men behind could react, the fabric he was clutching onto snapped completely. Azalea proceeded to fall off the third story.
Cameron was filled with panic and fear. Worried that Azalea might die and that Eugene would come after him, he decided to go all out. Glaring at Eugene, he snarled, “Your little lady
has fallen. Now, it’s your turn to die!” As he said that, he picked up the knife from the ground and stabbed it in Eugene’s direction.
Little did he know that Eugene, who didn’t intend to deal with him, simply chose to jump off the container. Cameron was completely bewildered and he glanced down despite refusing to believe his eyes. Did Eugene jump? Did that really just happen?
