Chapter 168
Joanna’s heart ached as she thought, ‘Did Hayden used to look at me with such eyes?
Hayden and I were on good terms before. It was Yvonne who stirred up trouble that made Hayden angry with me!
Seeing that she didn’t speak for a long time, Hayden’s deep eyes faintly surged with anger.
“Speak!” His voice deepened with a hint of menace.
His voice deepened with a hint of menace.
Startled, Joarma stammered, “Yvonne was crying and said she missed her deceased mother so much. She said she had nothing left and didn’t want to live anymore. My parents and I tried to talk her out of it, but she wouldn’t listen and just jumped…”
She had rehearsed these words countless times in her mind. However, under Hayden’s sharp, hawk–like gaze, her heart started
to tremble.
She had never known that Hayden could be so terrifying when he was angry
Hayden suddenly took a step toward her with his long legs.
Stopping in front of her, his deep eyes bore into hers. “Did you provoke her?”
“No!” Joanna shook her head frantically.
She could not possibly admit to anything at this point.
Hayden looked as if he wanted to devour her.
A fear that pierced her very soul reminded Joanna that she had to be careful even with her breathing.
Otherwise, she might really die!
Hayden still looked at her coldly but didn’t ask any more questions.
He knew that he wouldn’t be able to get anything out of her by asking.
Now the only clue was the video that Ethan took.
Yasir had just called. He hadn’t found Ethan yet, but no one had left the cruise ship.
It meant that Ethan was still on this ship.
He would find him sooner or later.
Just then, the second rescue team returned.
“Hayden, they’re back, Nevin rushed over to report.
He looked over Joanna’s face and paused, probably because he did not expect her to be there.
However, Joanna didn’t even have time to look at him. All her attention was on the rescue team. She also wanted to know if they had found Yvonne.
Only if they found her could they be sure that Yvonne was really dead.
She couldn’t say why, but she always felt that Yvonne was too unpredictable.
She couldn’t be sure until she saw the body with her own eyes.

Unfortunately, the captain of the rescue team shook his head. “Sorry, Mr. Parker. We haven’t found anything.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a deathly silence all around. The wind was whistling incessantly, which sounded heartbreaking.
Joanna quietly looked at Hayden, only to see his jawline tense.
After a long time, he said, “Keep looking.”
The captain of the rescue team was stunned for a moment, but didn’t say anything, and turned to gather his team members.
Nevin sighed and then advised, “Hayden, the rescue team can’t hold on any longer. Why don’t we…
to one is to return until Yvonne is found. Hayden glanced at him indifferently and strode towards the deck.
No
Gazing at the distant sea, he couldn’t recall how many sunrises and sunsets he had witnessed here..
He only knew that he had to find Yvonne there.
Nevin rubbed his brows in frustration as he thought. ‘Hayden is so stubborn!‘
Just as he was about to turn around and call Yasir to ask about the situation, he saw Joanna still standing there.
Only then did he remember her presence.
“What are you still doing here?” Nevin asked, his tone unfriendly.
Joanna was a little surprised because Nevin had always been polite to her.
She gave an awkward smile. “Nevin, I…”
“Don’t call me that! We are not that close. Nevin rolled his eyes, not giving her any face. You belong to Zachary now. Don’t associate yourself with the Parker family!”
“What? I… Zachary and I are nothing. That was a misunderstanding…”
Nevin was impatient. “You’ve already slept together. Joanna, have you no shame?”
He used to think that Joanna would be his future sister–in–law,
However, he didn’t know her private life was such a mess.
A woman like this was not worthy of Hayden. Naturally, he did not need to give her a good attitude.
Nevin now felt that his taste in the past was really bad.
1.Joanna bit her lower lip and glanced at Hayden’s back.
It was obviously all done by Hayden, but she couldn’t say it
“Alright, go away. Crying is useless on me!” Nevin waved his hand. He was annoyed right now and didn’t have time for her.
Joanna refused to leave, but she couldn’t think of a good reason to stay
The two sides were in a stalemate for a short while before Zachary arrived.
He put one hand in the pocket of his suit pants, the corner of his eyes was frivolous, he smiled and said, “Is my girlfriend here:
to find me?”
Nevin snorted and left.
Joanna glared, “Who is your girlfriend? Zachary, don’t talk nonsense!”

don’t want to admit it now” Zachary laughed wildly, leaning closer to look at Joanna, “I remember you were begging me
ve you..
“You bastard Joanna raised her hand and slapped him.
The sound spread across the deck.
She still remembered the pain when Zachary was choking her. Of course, she was also doing it for Hayden to se
It was a pity that Hayden didn’t even look back.
Zachary got slapped in the face.
Sec.
He was a little shocked as he thought, ‘She was still trembling with fear in front of me not long ago, and now she’s starting to resist already?‘
Although it wasn’t the first time he had been slapped by a woman, it was a bit embarrassing to be slapped in front of Hayden. He smiled slightly on the surface, but actually reached out and grabbed the back of Joanna’s neck before dragging her to him with force.
He asked. “Woman, how dare you hit me?”
Joanna stared, her breathing a little short.
She was scared and thought that Zachary was a complete lunatic.
She glanced at Hayden’s back and could only grit her teeth and say, “I don’t like you at all! Stay away from me!”
Zachary raised an eyebrow, finally realizing her intention, and asked jokingly, “Want to express your feelings to Hayden?”
anna’s thoughts were exposed, and she reminded him indignantly, “Don’t forget how good Hayden was to me! You are nothing!”
“You really don’t understand men. You slept with me. Do you think Hayden will still want you?” Zachary shook his head. regretfully, his eyes full of irony.
Joanna trembled with anger.
She still refused to admit defeat and asked back, “What about you? You were knocked unconscious by Hayden and sent to me. You are also a loser in his eyes!”
Zachary’s eyes narrowed. “What did you say? Hayden set me up?”
