Chapter 1868 Retaliation


    Another version making the rounds, possibly the one closest to the truth, suggested that Rochelle and


    the random guy were involved in a secret affair in Paul''s room.


    Meanwhile, Paul had be entangled with his new intern.


    Fate took an unforeseen turn as the four of them happened to cross paths, triggering shes and


    tension.


    Rochelle''s jealousy led to a physical altercation with the female intern.


    Despite Paul''s attempts to intervene, they continued to grapple, forcing him to step back for a moment


    of respite.


    Much to their surprise, they were discovered in the act of their abominable rtionships.


    Elisa''s subtle maniption was naturally woven into this version. She wouldn''t let Paul off the hook so


    easily. Now, he would have a hard time exining it all to his family.


    Rochelle had calmed down inside Paul''s room but struggled to wrap her head around what happened.


    Immediately, Paul terminated the employment of the female intern. As the dust settled, a grim truth


    dawned upon them: Elisa had intricately woven a trap they had unknowingly entered.

    On the table was Be''s phone, almost like she''d abandoned it when they were in the thick of their


    rapid-fire nning.


    It became evident that Elisa was the mastermind behind this entire scenario from the outset, leaving


    their facades shattered.


    Rochelle slumped in disbelief, unable toprehend how, despite her careful nning, she had fallen


    prey to Elisa.


    No way. This couldn''t be the end of it! She was furious and refused to give in. In this dire situation,


    there was only one desperate option left…


    A strange glint shimmered in Rochelle''s eyes; her gaze fixated on the phone.


    A sinister smile slowly etched on her face. She shared her n with Paul, who agreed it was worth a


    shot.


    With the ongoing drama sorted, Elisa was at the bar with Gareth, embracing the gentle breeze.


    The ship was set to dock in thirty minutes. The breeze felt calming and serene—perhaps because


    dealing with these vexing matters had somewhat eased Elisa''s thoughts.


    "Do you want something to drink?"


    Elisa proposed, which she rarely had the mood for the asion.


    Elisa''s suggestion was quite unusual, given the circumstances.


    Of course, Gareth wouldn''t turn down the offer, but no waitperson was in sight. So, he decided to take


    the initiative and grab the drinks.


    At that moment, Elisa''s phone buzzed with a message from Be. "Urgent! Meet me on the deck."


    Elisa''s brows furrowed as she tried to call back, but the line was busy. A sense of unease crept over


    her. Yet, Be''s safety was her priority.


    Without waiting for Gareth''s return, she quickly headed to the deck.


    Located on the first floor, the deck had no safety railings – a setup meant for adventurous tourists


    seeking unobstructed views. However, most visitors would only venture there if secured by safety


    ropes.


    Elisa didn''t want to take risks, so she secured herself with a safety rope before edging closer to the


    deck''s edge.


    "Be?" Elisa''s voice rang out, but there was no response except for the engine''s rumbling.


    Growing more concerned, Elisa was about to call out again when a sudden force from behind propelled


    her forward.


    In an instant, Elisa was in the water, the sea swallowing her up!


    The cold seawater sshed onto her face as she hit the water with a heavy thud.


    Initially, she had intended to use the safety rope to pull herself back up, but even the rope had been


    tossed into the sea.


    Although it wasn''t winter, the seawater was chilling, sending shivers through her body and causing her


    teeth to chatter uncontrobly.


    Wave after wave crashed over her, and the ship gradually grew smaller in the distance.


    Elisa fought to keep her eyes open and attempted to swim towards the ship.


    However, her body felt increasingly heavy, her eyelids drooping, and her feet cramping painfully.


    Then came another ssh.


    Something else had fallen into the water.


    Elisa strained to open her eyes, but the effort proved too much, and she slipped into unconsciousness.


    Is this the end of me? The thought shed through Elisa''s mind as darkness closed in.
