Upon arriving at Marsingfill Harbor, Genevieve got out of the taxi and found her cruise ship. A crew welcomed her onboard the ship.

The only two people on the ship were Genevieve and the captain.

A few minutes later, the vessel left the harbor. Genevieve received a text from Frank while onboard the ship: Zephyr is reaching the harbor. I will be taking action soon.

After reading the message, the woman removed her SIM card from her phone and tossed both the SIM card and the phone into the sea.

As Genevieve had not eaten yet, while waiting, she headed to the ship's dining room to get some food.

While she was eating, she heard footsteps approaching the dining room.

Despite the cold weather, Zephyr was only wearing a gray sweater and suit pants. The man naturally exuded an air of elegance and nobility. After entering the dining room, he pulled a chair and sat across Genevieve.

The latter scooped some pasta into her mouth and said, “There's some food over there. If you're hungry, you can have some.”

“It's all right. I've eaten before I came here.” Zephyr leaned back against his chair and looked rather relaxed. He merely kept quiet and waited patiently for Genevieve to finish her food.


After the woman was done with her pasta, she wiped her mouth with a napkin.

While putting the napkin down on the table, she looked up at Zephyr and said calmly, “Get your men to send Johanna to the airport, and I will tell you the location of the gold.”

Zephyr raised his brows and replied with a chuckle, “Oh? Are you intending to threaten me by choosing to meet on a cruise ship?”

“Yes. Can you say no?” Genevieve questioned in return.

“The fate of the Carlo family depends on that batch of gold and diamonds. So what if you're the president? The Carlo family does not belong to you alone.”

Zephyr narrowed his eyes and stared at Genevieve with an inexplicable gaze in his eyes.

Genevieve poured herself a glass of water and took a sip before continuing placidly, “No matter how smart you are, if you lack money or capabilities, no one would be willing to serve you.”

“It seems like your tone has become harsher after knowing what I need,” Zephyr said, smiling.

Genevieve replied, “All I want is for you to let Johanna go. There's no one else on this cruise ship other than the captain. Even if I have a gun, I am still not your match. You can kill me anytime if you want to.”

Zephyr stared at the woman for a while before answering, “All right. It's a deal.”

Then, he took out his phone and made a call, but no one picked up.

The man frowned before calling the landline in the mansion. Someone picked up in less than a minute and said in a panicked voice, “Mr. Juksford, Someone had taken Ms. Joule away...”

“What happened?” A deep crease appeared between Zephyr's brows, and the smile on his face had disappeared.

The housekeeper replied, “Ms. Joule had a gun on her, and she knew how to fire it. Some men had also barged into the house and killed a few bodyguards before taking her away.”

As it was very quiet in the dining room, Genevieve could vaguely hear the content of the phone conversation.
