Chapter 1561


    Marlee and Fraser stared at the merchant ship’s sensors.


    Time passed slowly.


    Every single second was torment for the people on the merchant ship.


    Suddenly, Marlee noticed the approaching object in front of her move, and it was moving in the


    direction of the ship.


    When she saw that, Marlee’s heart rose to her throat.


    She was afraid that she was only hallucinating because she was too nervous.


    Thus, she hastily rubbed her eyes with both hands to look closer.


    What she saw immediately made her eyes widen in horror.


    On the sensor, a light spot in front of them was rapidly approaching the merchant ship.


    Originally, although the two were getting closer, they were like two parallel lines that could never


    intersect.


    Now, the light spot changed its trajectory and started to move toward the merchant ship.


    If this continued, their paths would soon intersect.


    The other party was obviouslying for the merchant ship.


    ‘Did we run into space pirates?


    ‘Why did this happen?


    ‘Why did fate treat me like this?


    ‘Why won’t it give me a chance?’


    Seeing that they would soon arrive at a ce of hope, but now, there was an unbridgeable gap.


    Marlee felt a strong sense of powerlessness.


    Back when she was wandering outside, she was unfairly treated by fate which caused her to return to


    the Jung family alone while pregnant.


    Over the years, Marlee gave birth to her daughter Peggy alone. How much criticism and pressure had


    she endured since then?


    Even the members of the Jung family talked about her behind her back, let alone outsiders.

    If not for her daughter’s sake, Marlee would not have been able to handle it anymore.


    She did not want to think about anything now. She just wanted to bring up her daughter Peggy safely


    until Peggy could be independent.


    Despite this, it seemed that fate did not want to satisfy even this simple request.


    Perhaps she used up all of her good luck in the first half of her life, and that was why Marlee had such


    a miserable life in the second half of her life.


    She used to be the proud daughter of the Jung family.


    Not only was she talented, but her beautiful appearance was also famous in the gxy where the Jung


    family was located.


    A lot of the heirs of countless forces were attracted to her and there were waves of people who came to


    ask for her hand. 1


    On the contrary, whenever her name was mentioned now, she would be as the butt of their jokes.


    Fraser also saw what was happening on the sensor.


    He yelled in horror, “M-Miss! It… It’sing toward us, w-what should we do?”


    When the rest of the staff in the control room heard Fraser’s voice, they all turned to look at the two of


    them in horror.


    Marlee’s mind was also in turmoil at that moment.


    ‘What should we do?


    ‘How would I know?’


    In this situation, the only thing they could do was to pray that the other party would only ask for some


    money and let them go.


    She would then think of it as paying some money to avert disaster.


    She did not want to encounter the cruelest space pirates.


    Otherwise, the hopes of the people on this boat, as well as the entire Jung family, would be shattered.


    Smack!


    Marlee recovered and mmed down on the rm again.


    Buzz buzz buzz!


    Harsh rms resonated throughout the entire merchant ship again.
