CHAPTER 57: CHAPTER 57: IVY RISKS EVERYTHING TO SAVE SOPHIE, DAMIEN IS SHOCKED

With questions in his heart, Damien Lancaster furrowed his brows and took out his phone, dialing a number...

At this moment, the three people had already brought Sophie to the dock. The tickets they booked had already started checking in, and the three of them quickly passed through security checks and headed inside.

When Ivy Summers arrived, it showed that a passenger ship had stopped checking tickets.

Ivy Summers was still a step too late; she rushed inside, but the staff immediately stopped her.

"Ma’am, the ship has stopped checking tickets. It’s about to set sail. You can’t go in."

"My child has been kidnapped. The kidnapper is on this ship that’s about to leave. Can you delay the departure?"

"Kidnapping?"

The staff’s expression tightened, seeing Ivy Summers’ anxious look, and asked, "Ma’am, are you saying your child has been kidnapped?"

"Yes."

"Ma’am, can you confirm that the person who kidnapped your child is on the ship?"

"I can confirm."

"Please wait a moment, ma’am. I’ll contact you immediately."

As the staff finished speaking, Ivy Summers heard several continuous blasts of a ship’s horn; it was the sound of the ship setting sail.

She looked up and saw the passenger ship starting to move slowly in the distance.

Ivy Summers felt like all the blood in her body was freezing, and her already pale face was filled with terror.

Still... a step too late...

Sophie was still taken away by them.

Ivy Summers swayed, almost collapsing under the huge blow.

The staff finished the call and quickly said to Ivy Summers, "Ma’am, we just got the news. The higher-ups have already notified the passenger ship to delay departure. A check will be conducted immediately."

Ivy Summers’ eyes trembled, and she lifted her head in disbelief, "Really?"

Sophie could be saved again?

"Yes, someone called ahead to notify our superiors, and the police will arrive soon, ma’am. You can rest assured."

"Good! Good!" Ivy Summers, excitedly, wiped the tears from her face and braced herself once more.

Soon, the police boarded the ship to search.

Ivy Summers also went up with them.

Logically, since they got on the ship, they couldn’t run away, and with such a carpet search, they should be found quickly.

But at this moment, every place on the ship had been searched, and the three people were not found.

The police asked Ivy Summers, "Are you sure they came to the dock?"

"I’m sure, and I believe they must have boarded the ship."

The police said, "Don’t worry. We’ve already stopped all ships about to set sail, and we’ve placed people to guard the dock. If they entered the dock, they can’t leave."

At this moment, Ivy Summers’ hands were cold, and she was trembling anxiously.

Three hours had already passed. Sophie was injured and couldn’t hold on for much longer.

We must act quickly.

At the same time, a rumbling sound came from not far away.

A private boat swiftly sped past everyone’s view.

Ivy Summers’ heart skipped a beat, staring intently at that boat.

All the ships had stopped, except for that one leaving, and no one was found on this passenger ship.

So, maybe the three people had never boarded the passenger ship at all but instead got on the small private boat.

"They’re there!" Ivy Summers shouted.

The police saw it too and immediately used their walkie-talkies to send people to pursue.

As Ivy Summers got off the passenger ship, she saw Damien Lancaster arriving with people.

Damien Lancaster sent a private yacht and said to Ivy Summers, "Get on."

Ivy Summers immediately boarded the boat.

...

On the moving boat, the three people were incomparably proud.

Did they really think they would board the passenger ship and wait for them to be captured?

Ridiculous.

On the way, they had already contacted their employer, who arranged a private boat for them.

"Zella, you truly have foresight. If not, we would have been in big trouble today."

Zella chuckled lightly and looked at Sophie, who was thrown to the side.

Sophie was almost at her limit, without even the strength to speak.

The little girl, who originally had a tender and pinkish face, now looked pale and on her last breath.

Zella walked over, grabbed Sophie’s chin, and said viciously, "Little one, your mom sure is amazing. She almost blocked our payday. What a pity, though; we’re still one step ahead."

As she finished speaking, the man beside her suddenly cried out in shock.

As if he had seen something terrifying, he pointed to the distance and said, "Zella, look quickly."

Zella turned her head and her pupils shrank at the sight before her eyes.

In front was an entire row of private boats, looking to be over twenty in number, advancing toward them in unison, appearing extremely imposing.

The three of them trembled together.

They stared blankly for several seconds, forgetting to move.

As they reacted, the boats had already drawn closer.

It’s over...

Those boats were obviously coming for them, in a surrounding formation.

The three of them had never seen such a grand scene, immediately dropping their jaws in shock.

Who on earth had they kidnapped?

To be pursued this way.

They originally thought that once they got on the boat, they would be safe, never expecting to be caught in a net.

"Damn it, didn’t that woman with the last name Xu say it was just an ordinary kid?"

How is this an ordinary kid? Anyone would think they had kidnapped a princess from some country.

Zella gritted her teeth, pushed away the boat’s operator, and turned the boat to flee.

But behind them, Damien Lancaster and his people were also in pursuit.

They were completely surrounded, with no chance of escape.

"Damn it, for such a small amount of money, we’re really going to be caught in this today."

The three of them were panicked at this moment.

They only wanted money, not expecting that it would cost them their lives here.

"Zella, what should we do?"

"What to do?" Zella turned back, staring intently at Sophie.

She strode over and grabbed Sophie, pulling her up, "What else can we do? With this kind of formation, whether we run or not, it’s death. We might as well take a gamble and abandon the ship."

"What about this kid?"

"Just toss her into the sea, whether she lives or not depends on her own destiny."

Ivy Summers stared intently at the boat ahead, her heart growing more and more tense as they approached.

Sophie must be seriously injured, and with such a delay, Ivy Summers could hardly imagine what had become of Sophie.

Just as they were about to reach the boat, Ivy Summers, in shock, saw someone on the boat lift Sophie, throwing her directly into the water.

"Splash" with a thud.

Ivy Summers’ ears roared, as if falling into an ice cave.

"Sophie!"

She shouted.

The next second, Ivy Summers jumped in without hesitation.

Damien Lancaster’s dark eyes tightened.

"Ivy Summers!"

He hadn’t forgotten that Ivy Summers couldn’t swim!

This foolish woman, for the sake of saving someone else, disregards her own life.
