Jonathan glanced askance at her, but instead of giving the passport, he opened his lips and said, “Get in the car!”

Rochelle sneered. “I said, give me my passport!”

Her eyes scanned the car as she said that because she was prepared to cut all the crap and just snatch the passport from him.

Jonathan seemed to know what she was thinking but still asked coldly, “Aren’t you going to Aharromoggh?”

Rochelle’s vision froze. “And what of it?”

She would fight him if he so much as dared to stop her!

Jonathan’s dark black eyes stared right at her. “Get in the car. I’ll bring you to the airport.”

Rochelle hesitated for a few seconds, but eventually got into the car and sat down.

The car engine was started and then driven into traffic.

Jonathan drove in a fast yet steady manner that was truly the epitome of stealth. Rochelle saw that he was heading for the airport and felt immensely relieved.

However, the entire journey was very quiet because Rochelle had nothing to say to Jonathan and Jonathan was always a very quiet person to begin with.

When the car arrived at the airport, Rochelle unfastened her seat belt and pushed the door open to get out of the car.

Unfortunately, the car door was still locked and her face sank immediately as a result. She glared at Jonathan angrily and demanded, “Open the door!”

Jonathan pushed his door open, got out of the car, then strode around to the front passenger side.

Rochelle had already gotten out of the car on her own and was about to head in when Jonathan grabbed her wrist and led her to another door.

Unable to free herself from his grip, Rochelle was so angry that she yelled, “Jonathan, you idiot! Where the hell are you taking me? You won’t see the end of it if I’m late for my flight!”

Jonathan turned a deaf ear and forcibly led her into another door.

His strength was so great that Rochelle had no choice but to follow. She continued to struggle but could not break free of him, not even when she bit down on his arm.

The man finally stopped after walking for about ten minutes.

It was then that Rochelle realized she had not been led to some random place, but rather, the airport tarmac.

In front of them was a medium-sized helicopter.

She knew that it was a special helicopter.

In that case, Jonathan did not stop her from going to Aharromoggh but had come to send her over and even charter a special flight for her.

At that point, a lady in a flight attendant’s uniform stepped forward and said respectfully, “Hello Mr. and Mrs. Yates. Welcome abroad.”

Jonathan did arrange everything...

Rochelle’s long, curly eyelashes trembled slightly and there was a slight glow in her eyes. However, she suddenly said coldly, “Don’t expect my gratitude, Jonathan!”

Nothing he did could ever change her opinion of him!

Jonathan let go of Rochelle’s hand. He looked at her indifferent yet extremely beautiful expression as if he did not hear her harsh remark. All he did was say, “Do you need me to accompany you?”

Rochelle’s lips curled up and she gave him a beautiful, dazzling smile.

The next second, she uttered a single word: “Scram!”

Once that was out of the way, she stretched her long legs and walked towards the helicopter without looking back.

Jonathan looked intently at her slender rear figure and ordered, “Follow her.”

A man appeared suddenly behind Jonathan, and that man nodded before walking over and following Rochelle.

As soon as Rochelle sat down, she spotted the man coming in and rolled her eyes at him.

That man was Jonathan’s bodyguard, someone who could not think for himself after growing up with and protecting Jonathan from young.

Of course, that bodyguard was hers.

He was Jonathan’s eyes, so to speak, and had been specially assigned to monitor her.

Rochelle could no longer remember what his name was. It was either ‘hey, you’ when she was in a good mood or ‘hey, blockhead’ when she was not.

She knew that Jonathan would not take him away from her no matter how angry she became, so she had long gotten used to pretending he did not exist.

Her helicopter soon took off.

Rochelle clenched her hands slightly and prayed in her heart, ‘Please let Sammy and the baby be alright!’

Over ten hours later, the helicopter finally arrived in Aharromoggh.

As soon as Rochelle switched on her phone, she received a call from Micah and immediately turned pale after listening to what had been said.

Micah did as Rochelle asked and went to the apartment Vincent rented. Samantha was nowhere to be seen, but her backpack was found in the trash can.

Samantha’s money, cell phone, and documents were all inside.

Micah immediately called the police.

The police checked the apartment’s surveillance footage and saw the scene of Samantha falling after being attacked. However, the assailant’s figure was not captured because of a blind spot on the surveillance camera.

After that, they could only try checking the traffic surveillance and pieced each scene together.

They spent a whole night to finally ascertain her whereabouts: she was at Selaphi Beach. Micah and the police rushed there at once.

Since an entire night had passed, it was difficult to tell whether Samantha would still be fine.

After hanging up, Rochelle did her best to calm her trembling hands and said towards Blockhead, “Go…go and get a car. I want to go to Selaphi Beach right now!”

Blockhead responded, “Yes!”

…

At Selaphi Beach, the sea was calm in the morning but nothing could be seen beyond the endless ocean.

The reason why the police were able to determine the exact location was because they had found a dropped earring on the beach. According to Micah, it was the earring that Samantha had worn the day before.

When Rochelle arrived, the police had already started a search and rescue operation. Unfortunately, the sea was vast and no one was as yet found.

Rochelle had the urge to go down and search for Samantha but was forcibly stopped by Blockhead, who prevented her from getting close to the beach.

Micah persuaded her and said, “Ms. Tyrell, I understand what you’re feeling right now, but these are professional things that should be left to the professionals. I really, really hope that...Ms. Larsson will be fine. God looks kindly on those who are kind themselves.”

He made that remark even though he knew that it was just a mere consolation.

Rochelle held on tightly to Samantha’s earring. It was part of the pair that she had bought as a gift for Samantha before Samantha went abroad.

She had the same pair too as a symbol of their sisterly affection for each other.

Samantha was always the kind who kept her promises. She said that she would be safe with the baby, and once it was time for her to deliver, she would wait for Rochelle and they would both welcome the baby into the world.

Rochelle was confident that Samantha was not going to just die like that.

Not a chance!

Time passed by the minute, and Samantha was still nowhere to be found even though more than an hour had elapsed.

The blood on Rochelle’s face had drained. She suddenly looked up at Blockhead and said coldly, “If you’re not letting me get into the water, then you go ahead and jump in! Don’t stop me if you don’t!”

She knew that any one of Jonathan’s bodyguards would possess an array of skills, all of which they had mastered completely. Therefore, he would not be any less proficient in commencing a search-and-rescue operation!

Blockhead nodded without saying another word and walked over to grab some equipment. After putting it on, he jumped into the sea without any hesitation.

Rochelle opened her eyes wide and stared intently at the sea for fear that she would miss something.

After some time, Blockhead emerged from the sea and seemed to be dragging something in his hand....
