The screeching noises caused by the friction between the tires and the ground had been
ear -piercing, but Alex did not send any of his men after him.
Here on thisnd, anyone who was remotely of status had tortured Jane with the full
intention of killing her, and Jane did not even say anything to protect the eighteen year-old
young woman from earlier. However, she tried everything she could to protect the elderly
man just now, and that was enough proof that the old man in his seventies did no harm to
Jane.
Alex looked Jane in the eyes and pulled her back into his arms. "He has helped you before,
has he?"
Jane sneered. "No one has helped me here in White Ocean City, Alex Poole. Taking the
eighteen-year-old youngdy from earlier as an example, it''s true that she had given me a
piece of bread before, but it was nothing but their leftovers from a few days ago. Don''t read
too deeply into it. No one has treated me with kindness. I simply think that if my death is
inevitable, then why drag another innocent down with me?" she paused for a moment and
lowered her head, and her tone became much calmer than earlier. "I saw that you intended
on burying those people who had tortured me for two nights and a day alive, but I don''t
understand why. If I''m going to die anyways, at least let me die knowing what''s going on,
will you?" 1
She paused again before chuckling sarcastically at herself. "Whatever. Why am I even
saying this? You wouldn''t agree to what I say anyways. Do whatever you want with me. It’s
all whatever."
With that said, Jane turned away and refused to look at Alex, her eyes even struggling to
focus as she did.
Alex held onto her even tighter. "How can I make you believe what I''m saying, Jane?
Twenty days ago, when I was leaving Bay County, I was really hoping that you and Noah
would live happily ever after. I was really going to hand over all of my business to
Sebastian and stay by your family of three for the rest of my life. The only thing I failed to
think of was that Lily would hurt you. It''s my mistake, Jane. It''s my mistake and I''ve med
myself ten thousand times for it. Because of my carelessness, you have suffered so much
and it has even caused the man you loved most to die. Allow me to apologize to you, okay,
Jane?" Alex tried to convince Jane painstakingly.
She looked at him. "You are spending all this effort in telling me these things simply to
make your wife Lily happy."
Just as Alex was struggling to find a way to exin himself to Jane, Garrett suddenly
called out to him from behind.
"Master Alex, you shoulde see this."
Alex was still holding onto Jane at the time. He could not bring himself to let go, under the
impression that she was too weak to stand on her own without him holding her. He was
enraged the moment Garrett called for him and turned to stare daggers at the man. "
What''s so important that you can''t make the call??"
"Master, it''s best that youe see this," Garrett insisted.
Alex could only set Jane back down and went toward Garrett alone. "You have a death
wish! " he said.
Garrett whispered into Alex''s ear and Alex suddenly came to realize something. "Thanks! "
he said to Garrett formally. He then turned and went back to Jane and just as he had his
arms raised, ready to pick Jane back up, his phone rang out of the blue. 1
He took it out and answered impatiently, " Hello, who''s calling??"
A woman''s voice came through the other side of the line distinctly. "Alex, I am calling to ask
if you have found Jane. If you haven''t, you shouldn''t evene back! If you dare toe
back, I''m going to kill you!"
Jane beamed at the voice as tears started rolling down her cheeks. Her lips were quivering
as she blurted out, "Sa--Sabrina?"
