Chapter 139

    Chapter 139


    Tom was ted. “Yeah! Jack said that he’d bring helpers, and he wanted meals instead of money. The


    boss, Mr. Gibson, agreed right away.


    “We ate a lot of food in the kitchen, and it was delicious! I even took some food with me when I left.”


    Olivia finally understood why the newbies managed to seed.


    They were just lucky.


    Marcus Gibson probably didn’t expect anyone to be this bold. How could someone cause problems on


    the cruise or kidnap Connor?


    Ethan and the rest probably never thought that the bodyguard position was by name only. So, this


    group easily achieved what they aimed for.


    It was quite a funny coincidence.


    “So you’re doing this for money. Where’s the kid?”


    “My grandma is taking care of him. He drinks a lot, and he almost finished all the milk we milked from


    Buttercup,” Jerryined.


    While Olivia was questioning the two, Jack had been standing at the side and staring silently at her.


    “Are you done with the questions?” Jack asked in a low voice.


    Olivia was about to say something when the man twirled the dagger in his hand. With a sh, the de


    of the dagger was held against her neck.


    “Speak. Who exactly are you?”


    Olivia felt a chill run down her spine. Even though the two youngds were novices, this man wasn’t.


    His eyes looked like those of a snake’s as they peered through the mask, observing. The man was


    waiting for her to let down her guard before he struck.


    “If you dare hide anything again, I’ll kill you right now. No one will know if you die here,” the man said


    coldly.


    He stood by the wooden window, his tall figure blocking the sunlight that spilled in from outside.


    His emotions were hidden under the mask, and only his tightly pursed lips were visible. The extreme


    murderous intent in his eyes sent chills down Olivia’s spine.


    The words she said when she let down her guard probably roused suspicion.


    The two children weren’t bad people. Since they were connected to Jack, she wanted to bet on the


    notion that Jack wasn’t a bad person either.


    “I’m not lying. You can find photos I took with him on my phone.”


    She took out her phone, which had lost all signal, and showed them the album she had always refused


    to touch.


    The album consisted of photos she secretly took of Ethan in the past. In the photos, he was either


    working, sleeping, or drinking coffee.


    There were also a few photos where he was sleeping, and she had taken a selfie with him with a funny


    face.


    All the photos proved one thing–she was messing around while he worked. The two shared a happy


    past.


    There was also a set of photos she had taken after she got pregnant. But Ethan hadpletely


    vanished by then.


    Only she remained in the photos with her huge belly and a faint smile on her lips.

    “There isn’t a single lie in my story, but there is something I lied to you about. Even though I hate Ethan


    and Marina, their


    child is innocent.


    “When I saw you guys taking the child awayst night, I went after you without another thought.”


    Taking a deep breath, Olivia said, “I don’t want to harm the child; I want to save him. I never thought


    that I would faint from theck of energy.”


    Just as expected, her words won Jack’s trust. He gave her a deep look before releasing her.


    “You’re quite kind.”


    “I originally wanted to dump that kid in the ocean, but I gave up in the end. I couldn’t harm an innocent


    child.


    “Since your target is money instead of the kid, I think we can work together.”


    Olivia stared at the man with a clear look in her eyes. “I hate Ethan, and I know him better than anyone


    else.


    “I can help you get the money and retreat in one piece. In exchange, give me the child. I want to make


    sure that he’s safe.”
