Chapter 66
When Ella saw that face scarred by the fire, tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.
Ella said. “What kind of game are you playing? Do you know how scared you made me! Where’s Jenny? We have to save her! If anything happens to her, I’ll blame myself. Hurry up!”
Jaden said. “She should be on my boat by now”
Ella said. “So we’re saved?”
Jaden said, “Yeah”
cly looked away. With the lights on, the visual impact hit him.
He instinctively
Ella was dressed so scantily. She was extremely attractive, with a classic slim figure that looked slender in clothes but revealed her curves when undressed.
Her delicate curves made her look anything but frail despite her slenderness. Every part of her was perfectly proportioned.
Due to her fear and struggles, her hair was disheveled, her face pale, and her eyelashes wet with glistening tears.
Seeing her like this, any man would want to hold her tightly and cherish her.
Ella, belatedly realizing this, hurriedly grabbed a blanket and wrapped herself up nightly, leaving only her small head exposed,
“If you keep looking. I’ll gouge your eyes out!” she said fiercely, but in her current state, she had no real threat, She was like an adorable kitten trying 10 art tough.
Jaden smiled and turned his head away from her.
“Could
you get me some clothes?” she mumbled sofily
“What did you say I didn’t hear you,” Jaden said.
me some clothes! I can’t be seen like this” she said louder.
“Still didn’t hear you,” Jaden said.
Ellaumed she had thought he truly hadn’t heard her, but now she realized he was just playing with her! Enraged, she picked up a pillow and threw it at him.
“Marcus“” Ella called our through gritted teeth
“Here, wear this for now. Your clothes will arrive soon.” Jaden handed over his suit jacket. “Why did you call me? Where did Willow Group get all that cash flow? Aren’t you afraid I won’t lend it
“I had to take the risk” Ella said.
Jaden shook his head in exasperation. Her bravery was impressive.
“I have to go and deal with something,” Jaden said.
“Here!” Ella asked.
Ella was stunned but quickly realized that someone as powerful as him had connections in both legal and illegal circles. No one would dare provoke him casily
To take her and Jenny away, he had to grease some palms. Given his status, people would likely cooperate.
Ella put on Jaden’s suit jacket, feeling his residual warmth and a faint mint see
It wasn’t cologne or smoke, but a cleati, cool scent. The scent was familiar, reminding her of Jaden. It seemed she missed him a lot.
But why was Marcus here? Did he come to save her!
Every time Ella was in danger, Marcus stepped up. When Jaden had been kidnapped, everyone thought he was dead, but Marcus had bronglst him back. Marcus had teased her before, but never taken athvantage of her.
Initially, they were just business partners, but now, was it more than that!
Ella furrowed her brows, deciding to have an open talk with Marcus. Soon, Jaden returned, and she had changed into proper clothes.

The police are here. They leseni you back safely. I have to leave early,” Jaden said.
Ella said. “What about those had guys”
Jaden said, “The main ones will escape, but those who kidnapped you will be left behind to face the consequences.
Ella said. “Why can’t we catch them all! They must have committed numerous crimes. There might be even darker deeds”
Jaden looked at her meaningfully and said, “It’s clear your grandfather protected you well
She was rendered speechless.
These people were deeply entrenched in criminal activities, possibly backed by larger forces. It wasn’t simple to bring them all down.
Even Jaden, with his current resources, couldn’t openly confront them. The opposing side didn’t want to provoke such an enemy either.
They were willing to release her and sacrifice a few to appease the police. But it was a long, ongoing war that wouldn’t end in their lifetimes. Where there was light, there was always darkness.
Tm sorry, I was being greedy. Ella said.
Ella realized she was talking nonsense and causing trouble for Marcus.
Jaden said. “The coast guard’s boat is here. We’ll discuss everything in Ardbert City. Take care
He left without looking back.
Soon, the coast guard arrived, rescuing all three of them and arresting the criminals Ella saw Grace again, whose wrists bore whip marks. Grace, too anxious about herself, pulled a police officer aside.
Grace said, “Can you keep everything that happened on the boat confidential? If my family finds out what happened to me, I have no way to live.” The officer looked at her sympathetically, understanding her plight,
The officer said. “It’s a matter of your privacy. We won’t disclose it
“Really! Thank you so much Grace said gratefully.
Grace was immensely grateful
When the officer left, she was alone, thinking about the horrific events.
That man was inhuman. Grace had thought serving him alone would ensure her survival and perhaps a life of luxury, but he had tired of her and handed her to his subordinates.
Those people were burly and reeked of the sea and sweat, making her feel nauseous and want to vomi
She didn’t dare resist. She was defiled. But the only consolation was that Ella was in a similar situation. They were both ruined, neither more noble than the other.
tightly with tears
Ella didn’t know what Grace was thinking. She quickly found Jenny, hugging her tightly
tears streaming down.
Jenny, also teary–eyed, said, “Mr. White saved me. If Hank hada’t arrived in time, I would have been… When we get to Andhert City, you must thank him properly. If he agrees to see me, I want to thank him in person.”
“I understand. I ask him when the time comes.”
They knew Marcus had helped but didn’t mention him to the police.
Soon, they reached the shore, gave their statements, and were free to go home. The police kept the events on the boat confidential, protecting the privacy of the three women.
Ella’s biggest question was why E

money. Where were the board members? Why weren’t her calls going through
Furious, Ella went to the company, only to find the senior executives in a meeting discussing who would take over.
The options were to sell the company and distribute the money based on shares or select strune from the board to manage it temporarily until Deven decided. There was much debate.
And Finn sat in the first seat on the right. The empty seat in the middle was Ella’s. Someone sought Finn’s opinion, but he seemed distracted.
“Mr. Samino? a board member asked.

Finn finally snapped out of it.
The board member said. “Everyone has voted. It’s your turn, and your vote is the deciding one.”
Finn’s vote would determine whether they sold the company or appointed a temporary manager.
