Chapter 679

Caleb’s complexion paled as he took in the scene, a look of shock crossing his features. Turning to

Mia, he exclaimed, “Ms. Monalize, are you trying to kill her?”

Mia replied nonchalantly, “Luna splashed water on me without any reason. Seeing how much she

enjoys water, I’m simply granting her wish. Why would I want her dead?”

Pointing toward the dorsal fin visible above the water, Caleb countered, “That’s a shark, right? And

you’re still insisting you’re not endangering her life?”

At the sound of their voices, Luna raised her head and called out desperately toward the yacht, “Help,

Tim!”

Mia nonchalantly scratched her ear and glanced at Timothy. “I’ve always believed in an eye. for an

eye,” she mused. “Whatever others do to me, I’ll return it tenfold.”

Caleb interjected, “But Ms. Monalize, you can’t just toy with someone’s life like this.”

Mia’s demeanor turned cold as she locked eyes with Caleb. “Do you think I’m joking?”

Having said that, she forcefully pushed Caleb into the sea. “Get in there!”

These days, she couldn’t tolerate men like him!

Caleb likely hadn’t anticipated the push. Nonetheless, he managed to grasp the railing just in time,

preventing himself from plunging into the water.

Glancing down, he couldn’t help but notice the shark swimming directly below, causing beads of sweat

to form on his forehead.

If he had fallen just now, the outcome would have been unimaginable!

Timothy moved forward to lend a hand to Caleb, then turned to address Mia, “Luna brought this upon

herself. You’ve already taught her a lesson. Isn’t that enough?”

Upon hearing Timothy’s words, Mia walked over to him and reached out to fix the buttons on his freshly

changed shirt. Her tone remained calm yet firm as she responded, “Not quite!

Struggling to pull himself up, Caleb inquired, “Ms. Monalize, isn’t this enough? What more do you

want?”

Mia raised an eyebrow. “Honestly, no one has ever dared to splash water on me before. Luna is the

first to exhibit such audacity. If I don’t address this now, she might begin to overstep

her boundaries.

“Besides, I’m simply looking out for Mr. Barrett here. We wouldn’t want tans getting into any further

trouble with the wrong people; that would only cause more problems for you.”

Caleb was left speechless by her response. He hadn’t anticipated how skillfully Mia could manipulate

her words.

Timothy’s gaze shifted toward Laina, who was still in the water with the shark circling around her. His

tone was stern as he demanded, “Apologize.”

Submerged in seawater, Lama’s face had turned pale from the cold. She gazed at Timothy with

disbelief. “Tim?”

Luna had anticipated Timothy’s furious reaction upon seeing her in such a state, expecting him to

immediately come to her rescue!

However, to her surprise, Timothy’s first words were to ask her to apologize!

Caleb hastily interjected, “Tim, let’s pull her out of the water first. The sea temperature is dangerously

low, and Luna has been in there for too long. She could develop hypothermia, which can be life–

threatening.”

Just then, several black–clad bodyguards appeared nearby. They kept a close eye on Caleb and

Timothy, clearly opposed to Caleb taking any action.

Mia couldn’t suppress a chuckle, her hand covering her mouth. “You’d better not make any sudden

moves. Otherwise, my men might accidentally release the cage, and then the shark might end up

inside.”

Luna was terrified, shouting, “Help! The shark is trying to attack me!”

Caleb felt increasingly overwhelmed. “Ms. Monalize, have you lost your mind? Do you seriously want to

provoke the Barrett family of Bern City?”

Mia couldn’t help but click her tongue in response. After all, she was still the heiress of the Lane family

in Nord City. Could the Barrett family from Bern City truly be that formidable?

Leaning against the railing, Mia casually picked up some raw meat used for fish feeding and tossed it

toward Luna.

Soon enough, the shark caught the scent of blood and started ramming against the cage, causing Luna

to scream in terror.

A cold smirk formed on Mia’s lips as she observed Luna submerged in the seawater. “Do you think that

just because Timothy is present, things will unfold as you imagine?

“In this world, it’s not the Barrett family who holds all the power. When it’s time to

concede, you must do so. Do you understand?”
