Chapter 9

Author: Jojo
My lips were stained red with blood, making my complexion even paler. My eyes were terrifyingly bloodshot.

Andre froze, feeling his breath stifle.

Before he could come to his senses, the driver knocked on the car window and whispered," Sir, Ms. Maya is awake. She said if you don't go there soon, she'll..."

Andre suppressed the inexplicable sharp pain in his heart and icily told me, "The doors to the conference hall will be locked in 30 minutes. I'll only give you 30 minutes to get there. If you're absent and cause something to happen to Maya, I won't spare you."

Having said that, he left to rush to the ward where Maya was.

The car door slammed shut, and the car fell silent.

The tears I had been holding back finally poured out of my eyes.

The debt between us had long been written off. Andre could not threaten me anymore.

I took out my phone and texted the lawyer.

Danielle: [Thirty minutes later, outside the Lawson family's conference hall, publicly release the evidence of Andre's extramarital affair with Maya and my divorce agreement with him.]

Then, I handed the Lawson family's supplementary credit card, which the family had once given me, to the driver outside the car window. "There are millions of dollars in it, and the PIN is six ones. Take me to the port, and it's yours."

My voice was deathly calm.

Thirty minutes later, I boarded the yacht Chiara had arranged. The engine roared to life, and the yacht slowly sailed away from the coastline, carrying me along. Only then did I see a dozen missed calls from Andre on my phone, accompanied by several messages.

Andre: [The conference hall doors are about to be locked. Danielle, where are you?]

[I'm warning you, don't expect me to touch you again for the rest of your life if you play any tricks!]

[Danielle, reply! Now!]

The panic in his messages grew with each one, but my heart was utterly calm.

I pulled out the SIM card, held it in my palm for a final second, and threw it into the sea.

I did not want it anymore. I did not want Andre anymore either. Since he and my biological parents wanted Maya more, Maya would be the only one they had from now on.

...

Inside the conference hall, Andre gripped his phone tightly. His knuckles were white, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged. He dialed my number repeatedly, but the only response he received was, "Sorry, the number you have called is unavailable."

    I returned to Itol with my parents and settled down in a small town with beautiful scenery.My life was happy and peaceful until my friend came to visit me and asked tentatively, "Danielle, have you heard anything about Andre after you left?"I shook my head gently. I would have forgotten him if no one had mentioned him."Not long after you left, the Garcia and the Lawson families couldn't hold on any longer and went bankrupt. Andre couldn't accept the blow and became crazy. He often sat in his office while holding a woman's windbreaker, muttering a name. No one could make out who it was. "But I know he was thinking of you. A few months ago, he was assassinated by his enemy. Before his death, he was tightly clutching something in his hand—a wedding ring."I was taken aback. I remembered that the ring was an heirloom of the Garcia family. When he proposed, he said that the two of us would be bound together for a lifetime. When we divorced, I put the ring back in his study.My hea

    Andrea had almost forgotten about it. He immediately returned home and found the doctor who had extracted my eggs.Although it was just an embryo, it was still our baby. He knew that I liked children and would never be indifferent to them. As long as there was a child between us, I would forgive him sooner or later."Where's the embryo now?"The doctor lowered his head and replied awkwardly, "Those embryo culture dishes were all smashed by Mrs. Garcia."Andre's face instantly turned deathly pale. The doctor stammered out the truth before hurriedly defending himself. "Don Garcia, Mrs. Garcia didn't let me tell you..."At that moment, he finally realized that I had been thinking of divorcing him even then. He dared not think about it carefully, nor was he willing to accept it.His pride as the don of the Garcia family was completely shattered. Disregarding the guards' obstruction, he led his subordinates and rushed toward me. He looked nothing like the don of the Garcia family ri

    Andre felt as if someone had poured a basin of ice water over his head, leaving him freezing from head to toe. He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning pale, while his voice trembled in disbelief. "What did you say? Repeat it!"Andre's subordinate said in a trembling voice, "When that killer was after you, it was Danielle who drove the car and saved you from the killer alone. When she brought you out, she was covered in blood. The doctor said she was shot in the shoulder..."Maya's face turned deathly pale. She shouted, "It's not like that! Andre, I was the one who saved you, not Danielle!"Andre squinted slightly. "Then tell me how many killers there were that day!"Maya froze for a moment. Soon, she hurriedly said," Two... Two!"Only two people could fit into that race car, so she had to take a chance and guess.It was not until she saw Andre's expression turn cold that she had a bad feeling.The last trace of warmth vanished from Andre's eyes. He remembered it perf

    As soon as I finished speaking, there was a deathly silence on the deck. The next moment, everyone burst into laughter.Andre's subordinate pointed at me as he laughed his head off. "Only a country bumpkin like you would bluff like that. Perhaps you've become confused after becoming a sugar baby!"Francesca frowned and said viciously, "The head of Pirate Group will be here soon. Don't get us killed with your nonsense. Be careful, or you might just be thrown into the sea to feed the fish!"Maya somehow pushed her way to Andre's side, took his arm, and said coquettishly, "Danielle, I know you feel wronged, but you can't joke about such a thing. Andre has had a hard time looking for you. Come home with us, will you? Don't humiliate yourself here."Andre turned pale. "Stop making a scene!"He waved his hand, and two subordinates immediately stepped forward, reaching out to grab my arm.I stood still, only looking icily at them. "I advise you not to touch me. Otherwise, you won't be a

    I had been standing not far away, watching the farce play out in front of me.No one recognized me. It was not until a sharp-eyed guest caught a glimpse of the custom-made wristwatch on my wrist and whispered, "This young lady looks familiar to me. Whose daughter is she?""I think she came with that asset manager. I saw them standing together just now.""Perhaps she's an assistant? But with her demeanor and outfit, she doesn't look like an ordinary assistant..."The conversation reached Mario's and Francesca's ears. Francesca first squinted as she observed me. When she could clearly see my face, she grabbed Mario and rushed over. "Danielle! I knew you were playing tricks. Where have you been?"Francesca grabbed my arm, her nails almost penetrating my flesh, while her voice was shrill and piercing. "Did you make that man persuade Pirate Group to terminate our cooperation?"I shook off her hand, frowned, and retorted with a blank expression, "Let go!"Francesca was even more agita

    Andre's expression changed.The next second, Mario's phone rang, and he immediately shouted, "Andre, what on earth is going on? Why is Pirate Group canceling their cooperation with the Lawson family? They're even demanding we return all the advance payments made!"Pirate Group was the largest partner of the Garcia and Lawson families. They had been cooperating for many years, and the interest chain involved affected the foundation of both families. If their cooperation were suddenly terminated, both families would face the risk of bankruptcy.Ignoring Maya's suicide attempt, everyone shifted their focus to the negotiations with Pirate Group, hoping to do their best to win back this major client.Meanwhile, the subordinates also had new results from their investigation. "Boss, we found out that the owner of that yacht is mysterious and wealthy. It's a private vessel that never carries any passengers."Andre suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this news. Perhaps the dri
