Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 289

desires were aroused. Just when they were about to step forward to do something to the women, Elspeth suddenly let out a snort, which stopped them in their tracks. At once, all eyes were on her.“What are you laughing at? You’re going to die soon. How do you still have the nerve to laugh?” The masked man didn’t understand Elspeth’s reaction. Why was this woman different from other women? Wasn’t she afraid at all when encountering such a situation?Elspeth sneered as she stared straight into the other’s eyes. “There’s nothing to be afraid of here. You’re just a pitiful man.”The man stepped forward and grabbed Elspeth’s arm. “Who are you calling pitiful? Let me tell you—today, you will meet your maker!”“There’s nothing certain about that yet. We don’t even know which one of us will die and which one of us will live. You may not be able to beat me, so don’t waste your efforts.”After the man heard her words, he laughed. “Everyone here knows that you were rescued from the ocean. After being unconscious for so many days, you don’t have much strength, right? How will you have the strength to beat me?”The masked man didn’t want to talk nonsense anymore. He stepped forward a few steps and was about to grab Elspeth’s hand when he found that his wrist was locked tight and he couldn’t move at all. At that moment, his face immediately became extremely ugly. Her strength was so great that he couldn’t resist at all! No, it was not just strength, but force instead! Her brute force was so mighty that even a man like him who had practiced martial arts for many years had to admit he was weaker than her!“You—”“Can you beat me?” Elspeth smiled lightly.If that group of people came up to fight her together, she might not be able to beat them. But if they came at her one by one, she could definitely wipe them out easily. The masked man was still trying hard to keep his smile, but his smile was particularly forced. “I’ll admit you’re pretty good… but there are so many people on our side. Do you really think we can’t beat you?”“Let’s leave the matter of fighting aside. Just tell me why you’re making trouble on this ship today.”Elspeth’s question seemed to bring back the masked man’s memories, and he immediately showed resentment. “Three years ago, I boarded this ship for the first time, and I originally wanted to do well and earn lots of money so that I could marry a woman and start a family. But his father, Irving Cole, broke one of my fingers just because of a small mistake.” After speaking, he stretched out his hand and showed it in front of them. Sure enough, the little finger of his right hand was indeed missing.“It’s hard for a disabled man like me to find a wife, let alone have a great career. That’s why I’ve been doing odd jobs on the ship, and no one thinks highly of me.”His face was full of desolation.“How is it possible for me not to hate him? So, I swore that I will make your father pay the price. This so-called son of his is here to supervise the work on the ship, and I will kill his son and make him regret it for the rest of his life.”He cast his eyes on Elias who was at the side before smiling cruelly.Irving Cole…Isn’t that my godfather that I accidentally acknowledged back then?Irving Cole and Elias Cole…One was like a mobster, while the other was bright and handsome. She really hadn’t connected them together. The man thought that if he told Elspeth, she would think about it and stand on his side. After all, if such a mysterious and special woman could help him, it would be of great benefit to him.However, after hearing his story, Elspeth not only didn’t empathize with him but just rolled her eyes. “You said it was just a small mistake, so do you dare to tell me about this small mistake? Also, you want revenge, but you allow your men to bully the women on the ship. This proves that you are not a good person!”“You don’t even know what happened, so why do you say that about me?” The masked man’s expression became twisted. “Okay, if that’s the case, then don’t blame me for attacking you!”Not only was Elspeth not afraid, but she stepped forward and stood in front of everyone.“Other than your grievances with the Cole Family, what about the men behind you? Have all of them been treated badly?”The dozen or so people behind who were holding weapons in their hands were all stunned.Elspeth picked a person at random who appeared to be more honest. She smiled at him and asked, “Why did you follow him?”“I… He promised me that he will give me a lot of money after the matter is completed.”Elspeth nodded thoughtfully and changed her target. “What about you?”“He also promised me that he will give me money after the matter is completed.”Hearing these answers, Elspeth couldn’t help laughing. “He is just a poor man now. Do you really think that he will have money if he kills the captain’s son?”“Besides, it’s unlawful for you to follow him. When the time comes, you won’t have lots of wealth, but instead, you’ll be hunted down endlessly! Don’t forget the might of the one who owns this ship. When the time comes, not only you but even your wives and children will suffer together!”Elspeth spoke harshly, and everyone around her was shocked. Immediately, they began whispering to each other.“Yeah, although he did promise us money, where
