Lucas turned around and went to the office.

Irven breathed a sigh of relief.

Irven did this one thing wrong to Lucas, but hoped he would understand.

The deal was in the middle of the night.

Dark time, dark sea.

The transaction was carried out at a port dock.

The dock was an abandoned and unsecured property, left unattended.

Those at sea often choose to pause there, in a state of tranquility and obscurity.

No one knew that Genevieve was in the back car.

Another person was in the car as well. It was Carrie.

She was still wearing the expensive silk dress of a noblewoman.

She was so serene. It seemed that she came here to watch a show instead of starting a fight.

Attended in full dress.

O

Looking at the silent dock outside the window, she said in a low voice, “Are you afraid? Many people will die. And Lucas may be one of them. But it is his choice.”

Genevieve struggled to contain her emotions and keep her heart steady, muttering, “He wouldn’t die.”

“His father asked me to lead a group to pursue and intercept him. If he’s in trouble, I’m supposed to save him. What do you think? Should I go?” Carrie asked Genevieve with a playful grin.

Genevieve’s face changed slightly.

She knew that they didn’t have a good relationship.

If Carrie wanted to take this opportunity to kill Lucas, it would be the best chance.

Then why did she send Genevieve here again and let her know?

“What do you mean, Mrs. Simpson?” she clenched her fingers nervously, and her palm tingled slightly.

“I propose a deal with you,” Carrie smiled, “Actually, terminating him here isn’t ideal, as some of my men are loyal to Bill. They won’t heed my orders. Ms. Lawrence, you’re here for your brother, and I know where he is. But in return, I need you to do something for me.”

“What’s the matter?” Genevieve got nervous for a moment. She couldn’t help but ask herself, ‘How does she know where Jeffrey is? Is it true or not?‘

“Marry Lucas. I’ll arrange an accident and make him vanish. Everything he owns will naturally pass to you and, subsequently, to me. I need to seize everything from Lucas. Your role is crucial in this.”

Genevieve’s face changed a few times. She didn’t expect it to be like this.

She was shocked to accept the news.

The plan was insidious, vicious and meticulous.

“Why did you choose me?”

She never thought about marrying Lucas.

Carrie smiled and looked at her with darkness in their eyes, “Because Bill likes you, he will agree to Lucas marry

you.”

Carrie vaguely felt strange.

Because Bill never intervened in Lucas’s private affairs and was picky about his marriage.

So many families from the same social circle were eager to arrange a marriage between their daughters and Lucas, but Bill was extremely discerning and never gave his consent.

Genevieve was an exception.

Why, she wanted to know the reason.

But she didn’t have time to delve into the reasons.

Because she found a weakness in Lucas the moment Genevieve appeared at Simpson’s residence.

It happened instantly.

Heroes were always defeated by beauty, and women could make earth–shaking changes.

She had to use Genevieve to clear her way!

Genevieve paused and took a deep breath to case the pallor of her face, “Where is my brother?”

Carrie smiled with certainty, not like lying, “I’ll tell you after you get married.”

“Professor Simpson won’t agree.”

“As long as you suggest, he will,” Carrie said firmly.

Genevieve frowns, not losing her mind, “Where is my brother? How can I believe what you said is true?”

Carrie smiled, took something from the carry–on bag, and handed it over.

“Do you know this one?” asked Carrie.

A small silver tail ring unexpectedly jolted Genevieve. Her eyes stung, and tears welled up in them! That ring was the one Jeffrey cherished, worn on his right little finger for countless years. It held immense significance to him, and Genevieve had never witnessed him removing it.

Genevieve teased him with a smile, “Is it from the girl you like?”

At that time, Jeffrey just lowered his head and smiled with tenderness.

He stroked the ring, neither admitting nor denying it.

He said, “Little kid shouldn’t ask such a question“.

Deep in Jeffrey’s heart, he treasured a woman, yet unexpectedly unknown reasons.

The Lawrence family had been waiting for Jeffrey to bring the girl over, but there was no news of her.

Despite Jeffrey’s lackluster love life this year, Genevieve understood the profound affection he held for that girl.

He never left the tail ring.

Genevieve took it and rubbed it carefully.

It seemed that she could still feel Jeffrey’s temperature.

She felt relieved that he was still alive, providing her with a sliver of comfort in this trying time.

Carrie smiled, “Deal?”

“Deal!”

Genevieve clutched the ring and took a deep breath.

Now that she had seen hope, she couldn’t give up easily.

If Jeffrey was free now, Carrie wouldn’t have gotten the ring.

Unless he was trapped in somewhere Carrie knew.

She agreed, and Jeffrey would be safe and sound.

Thinking of Professor Simpson, she felt guilty.

The atmosphere inside the car was dim and chilly.

But suddenly, they heard a rash of gunfire.

Genevieve’s eyes were scarlet as she asked, “Since we’re getting married, shouldn’t you ensure Professor Simpson’s safety now?”

“Absolutely,” Carrie smiled.

Lucas couldn’t die now.

Otherwise, if these people had told Bill, Bill would not have let her go.

There was a fierce fight over there.

Genevieve listened from a distance and felt terrified..

No wonder Lucas didn’t let her come with him. In such a situation, bullets were unpredictable. Perhaps even he couldn’t guarantee her safety.

Mad Dog uncovered the trap set by Lucas.

Mad Dog fought back fiercely. After years of ruling the roost on the high seas, he’s become numb to human lives.

Mad Dog was shooting wildly, eyes red with rage, caring not a whit about consequences. The gunfire echoed across the sea, beyond the docks, like a terrifying dream.

Genevieve’s heart trembled, her face turned pale and her hands were covered in a cold sweat.

About twenty minutes later.

Carrie rolled down the car window and said to the people outside, “Go and bring Lucas back safely.”

“Yes, Madam,” answered Carrie’s men.

Then, there was another intense sound.

They didn’t know how long it took. The car restarted and left.

Silence resumed at the harbor.

Genevieve sniffed the faint scent of blood wafting through a crack in the window.

For the first time, she shockingly faced death.

Carrie took her back to the hotel.

It was like she had never been there.

Then Carrie returned to the Simpson’s residence.
