The captain chuckled, "Donât think just because weâre from overseas, we donât understand a thing."
"Sweetheart, if youâre trying to buy time, Iâll play along. But if you think someoneâs coming to save you, Iâd suggest you give up on that hope."
"This is the border; no domestic ships can reach us here."
But they didnât know Gregory.
Wherever he wanted to go, no one could stop him.
Christine tried to suppress her fear, "Listen, mister, I can be quite entertaining. If I make you all happy, could you spare my life?"
She reached out, grabbing the captainâs belt and leaned in closer.
"If you donât kill me, youâll be my lifesaver. Iâll follow you willingly, to do as you please. How about that?"
Christine hadnât dressed up recently, but her striking features and captivating eyes were enough to ensnare anyone.
The captain swallowed hard, clearly beguiled.
However, they had already been paid, and failing to meet the clientâs demands would mean no future business.
Christine noticed his hesitation and pressed on, "Once Iâm with you overseas, everyone back home will assume Iâm dead."
"Donât worry, I wonât say a word, nor will I go back and disrupt your business."
The captain was dazed, her enticing red lips were too tempting.
"Alright, if you keep me happy, Iâll spare your life. Stay with me, and youâll never go hungry."
Saying that, he grabbed Christine, intending to kiss her.
Christine turned her head away and teased, "Why rush? Letâs enjoy a drink first."
The captain, burning with desire, lost his patience and tried to force himself on her.
A dark glint flashed in Christineâs eyes as she prepared to defend herself, but suddenly, the captain was kicked away.
His men were quickly subdued as well.
Christine saw the man crouched in front of her and couldn't help but curse.
âDamn it.â
She clung to the railing, ready to bolt.
But the man grabbed her and slung her over his shoulder.
âDailey! Let me go!â
Once inside the cabin, she was tossed onto the bed.
The man loomed over her.
She raised her hands defensively, "Iâm not being the other woman, so donât touch me."
Dailey caught her hands, feeling something solid.
He smirked, "Not the other woman, yet you still wear the engagement ring I gave you?"
Christine didnât know why, but despite trying everything, she couldnât remove the ring.
She couldnât exactly chop off her finger, could she?
Afterward, he pulled away.
Christine raised her hand to slap him, but his words stopped her cold.
"I wonât bother you anymore."
"What?"
Dailey, with his back turned, lit a cigarette, "Go back to Vista Town. Live as you used to."
"I wonât come for you again, and if we happen to meet, weâll act like strangers."
"If I leave you alone, the Clarkson family wonât trouble you either."
Christine was stunned.
After a few silent seconds, she asked, "Are you marrying Miss Sinclair?"
Dailey didnât answer.
Smoke concealed the dangerous gleam in his eyes.
Marry?
Not in this lifetime.
But she didnât need to know that.
"Primo will take you back."
With that, he strode out.
Christine was still processing when Primo came to escort her.
Dailey said he wouldnât pursue her anymore.
"Is Dailey getting married?"
Primo guided her onto another yacht.
"You should ask Mrs. Ford about that."
