Chapter 254

Author: Goldfish
"Was that Nicole?" Jasper guessed from the look on Amelia's face.

"Yeah," Amelia answered him as she kept her phone away. She explained sardonically, "She called to gloat about her two new partners and asked us to join their celebration dinner tonight."

"Hah…" Jasper chuckled. "She might be capable enough to snatch them away, but it's another thing to maintain the partnership over the long term."

She was so eager to gloat about it, as though it were a huge accomplishment.

Amelia chuckled bac

Does Nicole have a split personality? Did she really say that maybe Nova is being dragged down by someone? As if she didn’t swoop in, with Chris’ unlimited bankroll, and snatch the partners. And Luke, saying the partners declined due to incompetence. They only saw dollar signs. Even said as much.

    However, reason quickly took over Christopher's mind again.Just then, his phone rang, breaking the silence on the deck.It was Nigel.Christopher took a breath and answered."Mr. Zephyr, we'll reach the dock in about an hour." Nigel's voice came through, steady and respectful. "Also, Dr. Reid is already waiting there. She said she brought your medication."The mention of Jessica hit like cold water, instantly putting out the spark that had just risen in Christopher's chest.He snapped back to himself as he was reminded of his depression, of the times he had lost control and the mistakes that followed.He couldn't be that selfish. He couldn't let one moment of impulse put Amelia in danger again."Got it." His voice returned to its usual calm, giving nothing away. "Make arrangements. Once we dock, I'll go see Jessica first."After hanging up, Christopher stayed on the deck for a long time. Only when the ship drew closer to the dock did he turn and head inside.Each step felt h

    Jasper gave Amelia a light pat on the shoulder and nodded toward Christopher. "Go talk to him. Some things are better said face-to-face."With that, he turned and walked away, leaving the two of them alone on the deck.Amelia took a slow breath, smoothed the edge of her clothes, and walked toward Christopher.The sea wind lifted her hair. A few strands brushed against her cheek, softening her features.She stopped beside him, looking out at the dark ocean. "How did you find me? I thought… You wouldn't be able to locate the island."Christopher lowered his gaze and said nothing. His grip on the railing tightened.Her presence only made the chaos inside him worse.He wanted to pull her close, to hold her and feel her warmth, to make sure she was really here.However, reason held him back.He saw himself as trouble, as someone who would only bring danger and harm into her life.Silence settled over the deck, broken only by the waves hitting the hull and the wind sweeping past.

    No matter how much time had passed, no matter what had happened, Christopher's arms were still the place Amelia longed for.That deep, steady love had always been buried in the quietest part of her heart.When Amelia finally calmed down, Christopher loosened his hold. He cupped her face and looked her over carefully. "Are you hurt? Did he do anything to you?"Amelia shook her head, wiping the tears from her face with a small smile. "I'm okay. He didn't hurt me. He just kept me here and cut me off from the outside."Only then did Christopher let out a breath. "How did you take control of all of them? That was dangerous."Amelia lowered her head, a little embarrassed. "I waited until they weren't paying attention and slipped a small amount of a plant-based sedative into their food. I'd been observing things for days. There's a plant on the island that makes people drowsy if you consume a small amount, so…"Christopher looked at her.In a situation like that, cut off and alone, s

    "This isn't fair! It's not!" Jayden roared, his voice filled with rage and madness. "Christopher, just wait! Even if I lose, I won't make it easy for you!"Jasper didn't respond. He calmly secured the handcuffs around Jayden's wrists and turned to the agents beside him. "Take him in. Keep a close watch on him."As he watched Jayden being led away, Jasper let out a small sigh.He pulled out his phone and tried to contact Christopher, but the signal still wouldn't go through. He could only hope Christopher made it through the storm and found Amelia safely.At the same time, out on the rescue vessel, the wind and waves had begun to settle, and the rain had stopped.Christopher watched the coordinates on the navigation screen draw closer, hope rising with each passing second.He knew that if they held on a little longer, they would reach the island and find Amelia."Mr. Zephyr, there's an island ahead! It matches the coordinates," a lookout called out from above, excitement in his v

    Jayden turned and saw Jasper standing under a streetlight not far away, dressed in a black suit, calm and steady.Behind him stood several National Security Bureau agents, badges in hand."Jasper? What are you doing here?"Jayden frowned, a flash of caution in his eyes. He hadn't expected Jasper to find him, let alone bring federal agents.Jasper walked toward him step by step, his expression firm. "I'm here to tell you to stop. You've abducted two of the country's top engineers. That's a national security issue. Turn back now, and you might still have a way out. Hand Amelia over and cooperate with the investigation, and the judge might go easier on you.""Go easier on me?" Jayden let out a cold laugh, his eyes full of mockery. "Drop the act. Amelia is my guest. This isn't kidnapping. Don't go throwing accusations!""A guest?" Jasper's tone turned sharp. "You lock someone on a remote island and cut off all contact. Is that how you treat a guest? Do you really think your tricks

    After getting the coordinates of the private island in the Meridian Sea, Christopher immediately contacted the National Security Bureau.Jasper had already lined up the resources. A rescue vessel equipped with advanced gear was prepped overnight, ready to depart at any moment.At 3 a.m., the dock was lit up bright.Christopher stood there in a black tactical jacket. His face was still pale, but his eyes were sharp and focused.He checked the satellite communicator, first-aid kit, and locator device he was carrying. Nigel stood nearby with a few handpicked bodyguards, all of them serious and alert."Mr. Zephyr, all equipment has been tested. The vessel is ready to leave anytime." Nigel kept his voice low. "The National Security Bureau's special team is already on board, staying out of sight in the cabin."Christopher nodded, his gaze fixed on the dark ocean ahead. The sea wind tugged at his jacket, cold and damp."Move out."His voice was low, steady, and final.The rescue vess

    Jasper had no intention of working with Nicole.Nicole rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. With her current skills and education, she could easily carve out her own path at Nova Nine Technologies. There's no reason Jasper wouldn't want to collaborate with her. She just wanted to make

    Amelia smiled and nodded, then followed Jasper toward the lecture hall.Of course, fate had a sense of irony.Nicole and Christopher were there, and so was Luke.Luke was the COO of Cloudway Technologies, and he had tagged along to stay informed about the industry.Christopher sat in the front r

    Near the competition venue, there was a private club.Amelia stepped inside.Christopher had reserved a tea room, and he was already there when she arrived. The man wore all black, his gaze lowered as he sipped tea with quiet composure.Steam from the hot water swirled around them, carrying the d

    In Christopher's eyes, neither Evelyn nor Amelia had ever been important.At the children's clothing store, Amelia never skimped on Evelyn. No matter how tight things were, she always gave her the best.The moment they walked in, the shop owner's cheerful voice rang out."Mr. and Mrs. Zephyr, you
