Chapter 238
Then, Roger's voice rang from outside, "Don't blame me for being ruthless. If someone has to be blamed, blame yourselves for being useless. You failed to affect Patrick. However, while dealing with abandoned bargaining chips like you, I won't be that cold-hearted."
"Let me out!"
I didn't have time to listen to his nonsense.
"Don't be anxious, Beauty Charlotte." Roger said with a smile, "There are three lifeboats attached to this yacht. My men and I will drive two of them away, leaving only the roughest one behind. There are two oars on it."
"And then?"
I quickly picked up the fruit knife from the ground.
At this time, the temperature inside the cabin was a little high.
"I deflated the remaining lifeboat. If you sit on it alone, you can hang on for about two hours. However, if there are two people on it, naturally, the time duration with which you can hang on will be halved. You can see whether you are going to stick to the
profound sisterhood between you two or..."
Roger didn't finish his words.
However, I got his point.
Roger seemed to hear that there was no noise inside. So he said, "I'll leave first and call the police for you. Someone surely will come to your rescue in two hours. However, I am not sure whether if
anyone will come here within one hour."
After that, I didn't hear any other noise outside.
"Crack!" There was only a sound coming from the door!
I rushed to open the door right away and saw that Roger had left in a lifeboat.
The lifeboat where they were was a kind of speedboat. And they disappeared without a trace in an instant.
I saw that a little lifeboat was hanging below the yacht. And it had been floating on the water.
The deck had been on raging fire!
Judging from the situation, I thought that the cabin would be on fire soon!
I threw my bag off the yacht first.
"Help me, help me!" When I was about to escape, Caroline's voice came from the cabin.
I went in to check on her situation with everything she had told me just now on my mind.
I couldn't bear to save her at all.
I finally understood why Roger had done this!
He just wanted to put me in a dilemma, thinking that I probably wouldn't save Caroline in a fit of anger.
After all, Caroline was being tied up now. If I didn't save her, she surely would die.
Caroline sensed my hesitation and pleaded, "I know that I've done a lot of wrong things before. But I don't deserve to die like this. Please save me. After I get back to City Y, I'll turn myself in. If the police want to put me in jail, I'll do as they say. No matter how long I have to be in jail, I will be fine with it!"
I knew it was a good chance for me now.
I leaned over and asked her, "Tell me, who else is behind the kidnapping?"
"Well..."
"If you don't say anything, I'll leave."
As I spoke, I stood up.
At this time, I was the one who had the initiative.
Hearing my words, Caroline was so scared that she burst out crying, "Kelsi Clark! It's Kelsi Clark!"
"Who did you say?" I looked at Caroline in disbelief, "You are lying."
"It is true that she was behind the scenes!" Caroline said as she was in tears, "Kelsi Clark fooled you. She isn't as kind as she is on the surface at all. Instead, she's cruel and merciless!"
"How is it possible?"
I dared not to believe what I had heard.
However, I thought of the strange way Kelsi had looked at me at her wedding.
I was somewhat hesitant.
"Think about it. Patrick is such an excellent man. Kelsi Clark grew up with him. She surely understands him. And she surely likes him! She, who is 28 years old this year, hasn't gotten married yet. It perfectly explains where the problem lies."
Caroline yelled at me.
"Caroline's words do make sense."
"Patrick is such an outstanding man that any woman will fall for him."
"Let alone Kelsi Clark..."
The temperature inside the cabin was getting higher and higher.
Caroline roared, "Save me!
Charlotte, Charlotte, please. As for what I've done before, it is all my fault. But I don't deserve to die like this, right? Please save me!"
Her words made me come to my senses.
Looking at the fire outside, I looked at her.
"That's right. She doesn't deserve to die here like this."
I hesitated for a moment. In the end, I held the fruit knife in my hands and cut off all the ropes on her body.
Then I took out my suitcase, poured out all the things in it, and said to Caroline, "Bring this suitcase with you when you go outside and get off the yacht. If the ship sinks, you can still hold onto it for a while."
"Okay, okay." Caroline looked at me with tears in her eyes, "Charlotte, thank you. I didn't expect you to save me. Sorry, regarding what I've done before, I did them in confusion. I did so because of my love for Patrick. I was jealous of you. Please! Forgive me."
I dragged my suitcase, walked outside, and looked at her "No need. Our only distraction in the past was that we had the same face. Now our faces are distinct. Everything will be fine after we go back."
"Charlotte."
Caroline walked next to me.
Although she spoke sincerely, I dared not to fully trust her. While holding the suitcase with one hand, I clasped the fruit knife with the other hand.
Caroline followed me. As we were about to approach the guardrails...
I suddenly felt that she grabbed my wrist.
I had been on guard against Caroline. When she touched my wrist, I quickly grasped the fruit knife and turned around!
Caroline didn't expect me to react so fast. Seeing that her plan was exposed, she grabbed my wrist in anger and said, "Give me the knife!"
"What are you doing?"
I was stunned.
I dared not to let go of the knife in my hands at all.
The knife, which wasn't with any scabbard, had its blade directly exposed outside. Caroline dared not to touch it. So she could only grab my hand.
"What am I doing?" Caroline had a ferocious smile on her face, "Of course, I want to live on! Don't you understand? After we are outside the cabin, only one of us can live!"
"We have a suitcase."
"This thing won't float at all!" Caroline tried to grab my knife with her hands by catching me and wrestling my hands over.
She wanted to snatch the knife away from me.
She hadn't had a good meal these days. She didn't have much strength.
Even so, I had to put down my suitcase and confront her with my hands.
As Caroline looked at me, her eyes turned red. She said, "Charlotte Archer, your face has been ruined. You, who have a cheap life, would better die here alone. Let me live. In that case, I'll keep your favor in my mind in the future and burn some spiritual money for you on this exact day every year."
"In your dream!"
I figured out that everything that Caroline had done just now was just an act.
She did them to make me let down my guard.
Caroline had never regretted it sincerely!
"I want to live on! I have a good life ahead! After all, your life has been ruined! " Caroline looked at me, revealing a sinister smile on her face, "Moreover, even if you are alive, Charlotte Archer, your
life will be worse than mine by ten thousand times!"
"What right do you have to decide my matters?"
I got into a fight with Caroline. And we were fighting for the knife in my hands!
The fire crept in our direction bit by bit.
To fight for the knife with me, Caroline didn't care about anything else!
She exerted her force hard suddenly. I failed to grasp the knife firmly, directly flinging it into the cabin!
The cabin had been on fire.
The inner rooms of the cabin were all on fire.
Many parts on the door frame were on fire as well!
Seeing the knife fly into the cabin, Caroline intended to rush inside with no hesitation! C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Seeing the situation inside the cabin, I subconsciously wanted to pull her back.
However, Caroline directly shook off my hand, turned around, and pushed me abruptly!
