Chapter 171
Nestled in Yasir’s arms, Lucy felt a sense of security she’d never known before.
The ship was quickly returned, and Elysiumville’s harbor was already in sight.
Someone was setting off fireworks. The colorful explosions were particularly dazzling against the dark night sky.
Lucy’s gaze was drawn to the spectacle, and she hurried over to the railing, her eyes still brimming with tears. “Yvonne would’ve loved to see these fireworks:
“Yvonne would’ve loved to see these fireworks.”
Yasir followed her gaze. Yvonne must be able to see it in heaven”
Both of them were mourning Yvonne’s passing. The constant explosions of fireworks brought continuous rumbling. completely covering up the sound of fighting coming from outside the door.
Covered in blood, Ethan finally found Lucy’s room and secretly stuffed an encrypted USB drive into the crack of the door.
Just as he finished doing this, a person appeared behind him.
A man in a black jacket grabbed him by the collar and punched him hard in the stomach.
A large mouthful of blood spewed out of Ethan’s mouth.
His originally well–defined handsome face was now covered in bruises and scars.
He had been hiding on the cruise ship for the past few days, but unfortunately, he was seriously injured and was still found.
He didn’t even have the strength to call for help.
The man punched him a few times, beat him half to death, and dragged him into the darkness.
In the last second before the light faded from his eyes, Ethan took one last glance at Lucy’s door.
He thought, “You are the one Boss trusts the most. Please, you must help her.”
Half an hour later, Yasir opened the door to leave, only to find he had stepped on something.
He bent down to pick it up and found a USB flash drive.
“Is this yours?” He turned around and asked Lucy.
Lucy looked over at the sound of his voice and shook her head slowly. “No.”
fr was
“It was behind your door, Yasir added.
Lucy was startled for a moment, then quickly walked out the door and looked around, but found nothing unusual.
Even the blood that Ethan had vomited there earlier had been wiped clean
Knowing that something was wrong, Lucy quickly closed the door, pulled Yasir into the room, and drew the curtains. “Open it and see what’s inside!” She found a computer, but the drive was encrypted and she couldn’t open it.
She found a computer, but the drive was encrypted and she couldn’t open it.
“Who gave yo
you the USB drive without giving you the password?” Yasir asked with a frown.
Lucy didn’t answer. She examined the USB drive carefully and said, “This looks like Ethan’s.”
Chapter 171
Yasir’s eyes widened. How do you know?”
I remember Yvonne bought a few USB drives before, saying that she wanted to copy some information for Ethan to learn, and said that if he didn’t become a killer in the future, he could still find a jobs to support himself Lucy recalled as she spoke.
Over the years, she and Yvonne had confided in each other about everything
Recently, Yvonne suddenly became very clingy to her, calling her whenever she had time, and sometimes making video calls.
Once, when Yvonne was receiving a package, she happened to see it and laughed at Yvonne for starting to find a way out for a
killer
It was unexpected that this information would come in handy now.
“Why didn’t he come to you directly? Yasir was even more suspicious.
He couldn’t quite believe that an assassin, especially since he disappeared right after Yvonne’s death.
Lucy shook her head. “I don’t know either. Maybe he has other things to do, or maybe he can’t come to me. Anyway, there must be something very important in this USB drive!”
Otherwise, Ethan wouldn’t have sent this thing over.
Seeing her serious expression, Yasir immediately said, “I know a computer expert. When we return to Elysiumville, I’ll take you to see him?
“Okay.” Lucy’s eyes were filled with hope, and as she looked at Yasir now, she couldn’t help but feel that he was radiating some kind of dazzling light.
Yvonne was gone, and she had become very sad and helpless.
She felt that it was a good thing that Yasir was by her side.
She thought. Yvonne is right. I really like Yasir…
“Thank you, Yasir, Lucy said as she lowered her eyelids, revealing a bit of a girl’s shyness.
Perhaps it was because her voice suddenly softened a lot. Yasir rubbed the back of his head with some embarrassment. “You’re welcome. Have some rest. I’ll pick you up when we get to the port.”
“Okay” Lucy nodded and watched him leave.
After closing the door, Lucy took out her phone and looked at the photos of her and Yvonne in the past, weeping silently.
If she had known this, she would not have let Yvonne go to sea
At 1110 pm, the Pax Oceana arrived at the port twenty minutes early.
Every family had already sent people to wait, ready to pick up their members.
Joanna’s family was at the forefront.
They shouldn’t have been so conspicuous, but Sophia had a stomachache two hours ago and said she wanted to go back to see a doctor right away.
Nevin stood on the high deck with Hayden and snorted coldly. “At this time, she has a stomachache. I wonder if it’s true or
Ever since he’d stopped seeing Joanna as his sister–in–law, he had found the Jackson family increasingly unbearable.
He’d always found Joanna strange back when they worked together.

“Look into her background. Hayden said, his cold voice carried to Nevin’s ears on the sea breeze.
Didn’t you do that already?” Nevin was surprised.
It would make sense that Hayden would have investigated Joanna’s connections after they started dating. However, it sounded like he hadn’ı
“There was no need before.” Hayden’s lips curled into a cold smirk.
Nevin paused and thought, ‘What did he mean?
“Before Hayden married Yvonne, he’d investigated her entire family tree. He’d even looked into Yvonne’s elementary school classmates…
So why was Joanna any different?
‘Or rather, did Hayden never intend to be with Joanna for real?
‘But now, he wants to investigate, could it be..”
A sudden possibility popped into Nevin’s mind, and cold sweat dripped down his face.
His terrified eyes peeked at Hayden from behind, and it seemed that this time, it was for real.
It would be fine if Joanna didn’t play any tricks behind his back, but if she did, she’d be beyond saving
By around two in the morning, all the guests had disembarked the cruise ship.
The remaining luggage was personally delivered to their residences by Parker Group’s staff.
After all, unloading a cruise ship this large would take a long time. They had to ensure that guests experienced the most exclusive service.
Nevin volunteered, “Hayden, you go home and rest and let the family know you’re safe. I’ll keep an eye on the cruise ship.
Don’t worry
Richard was surprised by these words. He thought, ‘Has Mr. Parker finally grown up?
