Chapter 865
Even After Death
The gentle sunlight shone on the sea. The surface glimmered as it reflected the light.
Peace had finally returned to the ship after a night of chaos. The vessel gently floated on the sea.
It had been a devastating night for the guests. The basic infrastructure on the ship was destroyed. The
ATMs were broken into, and the cash inside was taken.
The cash in the casino was taken too. Everything else was either destroyed or taken.
The wealthy businessmen were naked. The gamblers lost so much that they crouched in a corner and
dared not make any moves.
They were still lucky to be alive. They got off easy, just losing their money.
Brent dragged Flora to a high place so that she could see all the chaos below.
With tears in her eyes, she shrieked, âNo, no. Please stop!â
She didnât expect her moment of desire to lead to such a catastrophic disaster. She was used to getting
her way on the ship. She was the queen of the ship when her employer wasnât around. She did
whatever she wanted.
She didnât expect to cross the wrong people this time. Years of her employerâs work had gone up in
smoke.
She prostrated before Brent and begged, âPlease stop it. Please. I was wrong. I apologize. Kill me
instead.
Throw me overboard. Please donât destroy the ship!â
Flora finally realized that she had crossed a very important man. He was someone who wasnât afraid of
her employer.
That was the law of nature. The strong had power over the weak.
Brent snickered. âDid you ever forgive anyoneâs wrongdoing against you when you were in a position of
power? We tried to settle things privately with you. Did you even spare us a thought then?â
Flora slumped to the floor, at a loss for words.
Brent was sneering under his mask. âYou didnât. You only had one thought in your mind-revenge. You
even brought an innocent woman and a child into it. Do you knowâ¦â
Brent sighed, adding, âMy employer let you go easy because youâre a woman. He just gave you a taste
of your own medicine. But you⦠You forced him to do this. Do you know what the woman and child
mean to Flora shook her head frantically. âI didnât know that. I really didnât!â
âDid you ever think this would happen to you when you lord over other people? You and your employer
deserve everything thatâs happening here today. Take a good look as the ship falls into ruin.â
Flora wailed. âNo!â
âIt doesnât feel good to have someone in control of your fate, right? Donât forget this is what you did to a
mother and her daughter a while ago. Did she not beg you to let her child go?â
Flora recalled Oliviaâs face. It was true. Olivia had begged her with a sad look.
âWhat did you do? Did you even think about sparing them? You didnât. You drew it up to their
misfortune.
They were just the sacrificial lambs for your revenge. You wanted to use them to appease your anger.â
Brent made his conclusion coldly. âYouâre just reaping what you sowed. Feel this pain of helplessness
and never forget it. You did this to yourself.â
Flora couldnât do anything but watch as her lifeâs work was destroyed.
Her bitter tears flowed from her face and dripped onto the deck.
