Chapter 132: Meeting in Private
The sea breeze was salty.
What’s the difference between one person disappearing, or three?
Daniel convulsed violently, shivering all over.
He realized Pierce’s intention, he truly wanted him dead!
No, Daniel suddenly became scared, his body convulsing, tearing his throat with a loud scream:
“Mr. Clement, I said…”
The pitch–black waves lashed against the hull of the cruise ship, creating a heavy thudding sound.
Fear seeped into every pore of Daniel.
The bodyguard looked at Pierce’s face, which was gloomy and motionless. He just silently stared at the
distant sea, as quiet as a
cicada in winter.
Daniel spoke in fear:
“She was tied up by me outside the window, when you went in, she was outside the window!”
His voice was hoarse and frantic, even cracking at times.
Pierce’s face suddenly changed.
The chilling intensity in his dark eyes overflowed in an instant.

The bodyguard threw the person onto the deck.
Daniel was curled up on the ground, screaming in pain.
Pierce walked over gloomily, his expression stern. He stood there, towering above, his voice chillingly
cold:
“Say it again!”
Daniel didn’t dare to pretend not to know and lie anymore, he twitched his body and spoke with
difficulty:
“When you went in, I was afraid you would find her, so I tied her outside the window. But later, the rope
was untied, and she was
gone…”
He was filled with immense regret in his heart, wondering why he had to mess with Sophia?
If that incident hadn’t happened, he wouldn’t have ended up in this situation!
He knelt on the ground in agony, weeping bitterly:
“Mr. Clement, I didn’t mean for her to die, really, I was just afraid of being caught by you, planning to
pull her back after you left.”
“But I really didn’t know why the person was gone!”
He didn’t notice.
The two women around had already turned extremely pale.
Camille trembled all over in panic, her face was extremely pale, and she couldn’t even speak.
Pierce’s face was inexplicably a stern shade of white.

Something had heavily struck his chest, causing a momentary pain that made his breathing unstable.
In other words.
When he rushed into room 602 looking for someone, at that moment, Sophia was actually tied up
outside the window.
She was just outside, they were only inches away!
But he didn’t realize, he knew nothing!
That kind of feeling, so close yet full of regret, suddenly felt like a mountain pressing on his chest, as if
it was going to crush his heart!
His jaw tightened, his profile cold and stern. His eyes darkened instantly, the emotions swirling in their
depths were tumultuous, ready to explode at any moment.
The entire cruise ship was completely overturned.
It was impossible for Sophia to be hidden in some corner of the cruise ship.
Camille said Derick had jumped down.
Why did he jump down?
What did he see?
In an instant, all the thoughts in my mind came rushing out.
Pierce’s heart sank deeper and deeper, and his face became increasingly unpleasant.
Even though he was reluctant to admit it, and still held a glimmer of hope while interrogating Daniel
here, the unpleasant thought was

becoming increasingly clear.
If Sophia’s rope had broken and she had fallen onto the cruise ship, with so many people around at the
time, it would have been impossible for there to be no commotion.
It could only mean that she didn’t fall on the cruise ship, but directly into the sea.
The overall structure of this cruise ship was a trapezoid, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.
The chances of her being discovered were too slim.
Pierce’s heart clenched in pain, his forehead breaking out in a cold sweat. It was an inner fear that he
couldn’t face calmly.
The surprise he meticulously prepared made her feel like she was on the edge of an abyss.
How could he calmly accept this fact?
He realized that this affection came too late, far too late.
He didn’t even know when she had taken root and sprouted in his heart, occupying the most important
position.
“Who told you to do this, speak up—”
Pierce’s eyes were bloodshot and fierce, gripping Daniel’s collar tightly, his brows and eyes filled with
cold indifference.
He was completely consumed by uncontrollable emotions, seemingly capable of destroying everything
at any moment.
Daniel had already been tormented to the brink of death, Pierce’s
violent actions made him involuntarily tilt his head back, causing him to suddenly hit the ground.

He passed out…
Pierce then started acting as if he had gone mad, intending to stimulate him awake, but it seemed more
like he was finding an outlet for his own venting.
But Daniel was already lying half–dead on the ground, only exhaling without inhaling.
Camille saw her brother do this for the first time and couldn’t help but cry out in fear.
She ran over and grabbed Pierce’s arm, her hand trembling slightly:
“Bro, stop hitting, someone could get killed!”
Pierce wanted to shake her off, but just then, the cruise ship hit a huge wave and jolted.
He involuntarily leaned outward, hitting the railing. If he let go, he could fall into the sea and disappear.
Let go, she was waiting for you below.
With the child.
He thought so, and indeed he did so.
But the moment he let go, Annie, who was standing not far away, suddenly grabbed his arm…
The rescue ship had been salvaging for a whole day and night, but there was no result at all.
Those two people were like a drop of water falling into the ocean, vast and nowhere to be found.
Chapter 132 Meeting in Private
Camille and Annie staved by Pierce’s side, also not closing their eyes
Camille felt both guilty and scared, as if there was a knife hanging over her head, not knowing when it
would fall.
She was afraid that Daniel would wake up, betray Annie, and then her own affairs would be exposed,
When she went out to the restroom, Camille shared her worries with
Annie.
Annie gave her a meaningful look, gently comforting her not to overthink.
Subsequently, she was asked to accompany the doctor to check on Pierce’s condition. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
The longer time passed, the more settled Annie felt, the safer she became.
As long as Sophia and Derick were dead, no one could possibly suspect her.
She took a deep breath, wiped her hands, and then turned to leave.
In the opposite direction of Camille.
Upon entering the cabin below, the bouncer at the door treated her with a bit more courtesy.
After all, it was she who saved Pierce when they encountered danger just now.
At that time, the other bodyguards present were too far away to grab the boss in time.
Annie gave a slight smile, her expression delicate and gentle

“I wanted to ask Daniel about Ms. Cruise. Once Mr. Clement woke up, we could explain it to him. We
couldn’t keep delaying, could we?”
The bodyguards exchanged glances, somewhat hesitant.
Annie said with a smile, “Don’t worry, it won’t take long.”
The bodyguard still opened the door for her.
Annie politely expressed her thanks, then walked in with a smile.
Just as she closed the door behind her, the smile on her face vanished completely in an instant.
Daniel lay on the ground, his face swollen like a pig’s head, a mix of blue and purple, his body limp and
curled up there, even his breathing was somewhat unstable.
He, who had been unconscious for a while, had already woken up, his eyes murky as he looked at the
door.
The moment Annie walked in, Daniel shivered violently.
His cloudy gaze cleared, breathing somewhat nervously in haste:
“I…I didn’t say that!”
