Chapter 149
Jack had a happy expression on his face. “Yes, as soon as I heard that we could bring a few people on board for free and get meals, Alex was very happy and agreed. We ate a lot of delicious food in the kitchen. It was really good. I even packed some to take with me when I left.”
Aveline now understood why these amateurs were able to succeed.
It was like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse.
Alex didn’t expect that someone would dare to cause trouble on the cruise ship and even kidnap Sir Jamie.
They didn’t expect that the security was practically nonexistent, so it was easy for them to succeed.
It could only be described as a double–sided gamble.
“So, you did this for money, what about the child?”
“The child is with my grandma. His appetite–is really big. He almost finished all the milk that we have here.” Tyler complained.
When Aveline asked them, Owen, who had been silent, locked his gaze onto Aveline.
“Are you done asking?” A low voice came from his mouth.
Aveline was about to speak again when she saw the man twirling a claw knife in his hand. After a flash of white light, the blade was placed against her neck.
“Tell me, who are you exactly?”
Aveline felt a chill down her spine. Although these two boys were ordinary people, this man was not.
The eyes that could be seen through the mask were like snakes, constantly observing in the dark. When she let her guard down, the man bit her neck.
“If you dare to hide anything again, I will kill you right now. Even if you die here, no one will know.” The man’s icy voice came out word by word.
The man stood against the light by the wooden window, his tall figure blocking the sunlight that was pouring in from outside.

His emotions were hidden beneath the mask, and all that could be seen were his tightly pursed lips and the overwhelming killing intent in his eyes, making Aveline’s back feel cold.
Perhaps her attempt to relax and fish for information had instead raised suspicions. These two children were obviously not bad people. The company they keep influences their behavior, and she was willing to take a gamble.
“I didn’t lie. I still have photos of him and me on my phone.”
She took out her phone, which had no signal, and opened the album she didn’t want to look at in front of
everyone.
There were many pictures she secretly took of Alexander in the past, whether he was working, sleeping, or drinking coffee.
There were also one or two pictures of him sleeping, with her making funny faces next to him.
All these photos revealed one message: they were happy in the past, with him working and her being playful.
There was also a set of photos she took during her pregnancy, but at that time, Alexander was no longer
with her.
There was only her holding her big belly, with a faint smile on her lips.
“My story doesn’t have a single word of lies, but there is one thing I lied about. Although I hate Alexander and Nora, their child is innocent. When I saw you carrying the child and leaving last night, I didn’t think too much and followed you.”
Aveline took a deep breath and said, “I don’t want to harm the child. I want to save him. I didn’t expect to faint due to exhaustion.”
Indeed, her words finally gained the man’s trust. He looked at her deeply and put down his hand.
“You are kind.”
“I originally wanted the child to jump into the sea, but in the end, I gave up. I can’t bring myself to harm a child. Since your goal is not the child but the money, I think we can cooperate.”
Aveline looked directly at the man with clear eyes. “I hate Alexander, and I know him better than anyone else. I can help you get the money and ensure your safety. In return, you hand the child over to me, and I
will make sure he is safe.”
