Chapter 289 Western Sea Trestle (Part Two)
William agreed. "Don''t be impulsive." Archer warned, "We''lle to you soon.
And the earphone, don''t expose it."
William waved to show he understood, before striding towards another car. After he drove the
bodyguards out of the car, he sped away alone. "Hey, you! William, where the fuck are you going?
Stop!"
Lucas yelled behind him. "He has his own business. Let''s move on."
Archer''s head popped out of the window, "We have to hurry up if we want to save Mary and the
kids." "Damn it!" Worry lines were etched across Lucas''s forehead, as he sighed, "Does he think
he''s some kind of a superhero?
Brainless!"
"I think he''s very brave." Jazlyn shrugged. "It means that he likes Mary, so he isn''t afraid of getting
hurt."
Lucas frowned. He could only hope that everything would turn out fine this time.
A few kilometers away, William had pressed the gas all the way. His car ran down the road like an
arrow from a bow.
He had a hunch that Mary would be waiting for him.
After hanging up the phone, Corbett gave Mary a menacing grin. "The person I''ve been waiting for
will be here soon."
Mary red at him.
"You know, I don''t like to hurt a woman or a child," Corbett said with a gleam in his eyes. "But when
I can make William suffer this way, I don''t mind doing it." "Young lord, he''s already in sight."
A man in ck stepped forward. "Oh, is he?"
Picking up the telescope again, Corbett nodded with a chuckle. "He came so fast. It seems that I
found his weakness after all."
After saying that, he ced the telescope in front of Mary and said, "See if it is the person you
guessed."
Mary''s eyes darted to search for the figure, her heart in her throat. She spotted a familiarlooking
face sitting in the driver''s seat. It was William. "What do you think?
Is it clear enough?"
It was. Mary had never seen such a high-end telescope before. She could even make out the
worried expression on his face. His lips were tightly pursed, making it look like he was extremely
uneasy. Tears filled Mary''s eyes at the gloomy sight. She stared at William through the lenses,
sobbing.
"No!...''''
For a moment, it seemed like William raised his head towards her direction. Before she could
confirm, Corbett withdrew the telescope. "You''ll meet soon. Don''t worry." Corbett put on an evil
smile. "Ah!
Since the time of high tides ising. I must remind you that you will drown slowly as the sea level
rises."
Mary couldn''t help but tremble. How did this man know that she couldn''t swim? What a monster!
Squeak! A car suddenly came into view, screeching to a stop near the sea. Just as the tires rubbed
against the ground, making a piercing sound, William burst out of the car.
The sea level was slowly rising, just as Corbett had warned. Mary''s ankles were dipped in icy cold
water. She felt drained and cold but came to her senses at the sound of the car.
Raising her head, she saw William rushing towards her from a distance. There was a hint of
valiance in his cold expression. He knew the danger thaty ahead, but still he did not hesitate. As
he closed in on Mary, he felt invigorated. It felt so good seeing her again.
"You came so fast." Corbett''s smile was chilling.
"Stop!" A man dressed in ck blocked William ''s path. Hearing him, William cast cold nces
towards Corbett and then turned to look at Mary.
"Mary..." William disregarded the peril he was in, only watching Mary. Her miserable appearance
made his stomach twist. He felt heartbroken to see her in so much fear. ''How could I let this
happen?''
" Wil... William..." Tears were streaming down Mary''s cheeks.
She had been sessful in keeping her emotions at bay. However, as soon as she had seen him,
she couldn''t hold it in anymore. All the fear, anger and grievance came spilling out in hot tears.
"I want to hear what you have to say, Miss Mary." At hismand, a man removed the cloth
wrapped around Mary''s mouth.
"William..." As soon as she spoke, Mary found that her voice was trembling. "Why did youe?
Are you out of your mind? Go away! I have nothing to do with you! Leave!"
"I was nning to break into your wedding today." William smiled bitterly. "I won''t let you marry
anyone else. You are mine. We will always be connected. I won''t leave you, Mary." Mary bit her lips.
Her sobs wereing out unevenly. Normally, she would make fun of him for being so emotional.
However, given the current circumstances, she was moved.
"I''mte. I''m sorry, Mary," William said in a hoarse voice, regretting that he couldn''t do anything
more.
p! p! p!
The heavy silence was broken by Corbett slowly pping. William eyed him, frowning in contempt.
"That was so touching." Corbett sneered, his tone sharp. "But I''m afraid, neither of you is leaving
today."
"Let her go," William warned. "You can have me, isn''t that what you want? I won’t resist."
"No! Don''t..." Mary blubbered, shaking her head desperately. "Don’t scare me, William!"
Trying to hold back the urge to rush towards Mary, William turned to Corbett. "You want to revenge
Frank on me, don''t you? Why bother doing these things? Wouldn''t it be better if you just killed me?"
"That would be so boring!"
"Corbett, I was shocked and heartbroken to hear about Frank’s ident," William said. "But it has
nothing to do with Mary and the children. Let them go." "Didn''t you cause all this?" Corbett scoffed,
"Since these are your children and your beloved, they are obligated to take responsibility for your
wrongdoings."
"Responsibility?" William shouted, "You can say that I am responsible for him four years ago! But
not now. Frank used your men to kidnap my childrenst time. Since then, he has be my
enemy."
Mary came to a sudden realization. It was Frank
"Besides," William continued, "wasn''t it you, who had been with Frank in the past four years?"
Corbett narrowed his eyes. Despite being with him for four years, Frank still cared for William with
all his heart and soul. He had learned to live with it until now. Frank was lying unconscious in a
hospital bed, and William did not care at all.
Whenever he thought of Frank, all he ever wanted to do was hurt William.
"That''s why I don''t like you hurting him like this. " As he finished speaking, Corbett suddenly ced
his hands on Mary''s bare shoulder, approaching her with a nasty smile.
"What are you doing? Leave me alone!" Mary screamed in horror. Fueled with an adrenaline rush,
she mmed her head forward into Corbett. He stumbled back at the sudden contact. A guard,
standing aside, quickly pped across her face.
''''Mary!''1
When William saw this happen, anger stormed in his eyes. He punched the man blocking his path,
taking out the weapon from his waist.
"William!" Despite her face stinging, she couldn''t help but cry out, "Are you crazy? Watch out!"
The situation was growing tense. Corbett had straightened up again, raising a knife against Mary''s
neck. He waved his hand, ordering his subordinates to retreat.
"This is my private affair with Mr. Lan." Corbett raised his eyebrows, a sinister look in his eyes. "Four
years ago in Japan, I didn''t have the chance to witness your abilities. Maybe I''ll get lucky today!"
"William! Don’t do anything!" Archer''s voice vibrated in William''s hidden earphone. "We have arrived
at the warehouse. I think we can save the children, but you have to buy us more time!"
William gritted his teeth. He felt his blood boil seeing Mary get pped in front of him. It was taking
all of his willpower to notsh out in anger. ''I have to control myself! Buying time is the most
important thing right now!''
"How about we finish the game that was started four years ago?" William smirked, clenching his
fists by his side. ''There is no way this game he''s talking about is not dangerous,'' Mary realized. Her
heart was beating so fast, it felt like it would burst out of her chest. Did they have a chance of
leaving here alive? What about Elissa and Alick?
By this moment, the seawater had risen towards Mary''s knees. The coldness chilled her to the
bone. The time came to an abrupt halt as Mary felt a sharp stabbing pain in her lower abdomen.
