Hubert was going to face severe consequences.
Loraine, however, rejected his proposal with a cold, piercing gaze.
“I appreciate your concern, but don’t forget that I’m not some delicatedy. Rowan trained me
personally. I’m far more capable than you think!”
Hearing this, Marco recalled Loraine’s poise and courage during the hijack.
His heart tightened, a pang of jealousy taking hold. He hadn’t realized that it was Rowan who had
taught Loraine those skills.
With jealousy seeping through his words, Marco inquired, “So, the guy you mentioned on the ne
who taught you was actually Rowan?”

Without hesitation, Loraine nodded. “Yes.”
Noticing Marco’s sullen expression, she couldn’t help but think he had been acting strangely all day.
However, she dismissed her thoughts and said to Hubert, “Regardless, I must take part in this rescue
mission. I promise I won’t be a burden.”
At that moment, Marco’s jealousy red. Why did Rowan matter so much to Loraine? How could that
man warrant Loraine risking her life to save him?
Frustration and anxiety consumed Marco as he asked, “Loraine, don’t you fear death?”

Marco’s mind buzzed with envy.
Loraine nced at him and remarked, “Marco, this doesn*t concern you.
If you’re worried about your safety, you can leave the ne anytime.”
She then turned to Hubert and asked, “Is there a ce where we can let
Marco off first?”
After a moment of contemtion, Hubert nodded.
“Certainly.”
Marco clenched his teeth, speechless.
He realized he couldn’t change Loraine’s mind, but the thought of her in danger terrified him. Finally, he
forced himself to say, “I’ll go with you.”
“Are you serious?” Loraine asked in surprise.
Marco nodded, his face clouded by tension.
An unexpected sense of relief washed over Loraine.
