Wolf furrowed his brow. "Last night was a close call. Even though we know it's the Redmonts now, and we managed to have the Campbells on alert, we can't be lax. Since the Redmonts have planned everything, they won't just stop here.""Austin, how about we go back?"Cecily listened to Aldus and Wolf's opinions and suggested, "We can always choose another location for the wedding photoshoot. Although the wedding date is tight, we can still make time."Austin suddenly found it amusing.His gaze turned sharp."Once bitten, twice shy. If that's really the case, I wouldn't dare to fight for myself after having a rough childhood.

A tingling numbness surged through him, making Austin feel lightheaded.His head still throbbed with pain, but at least the bleeding seemed to have stopped.Fortunately, the wound wasn't too severe when it tore open just now. Otherwise, he might have bled to death.He sighed heavily.Suddenly, a piercing cold wind seeped in through the cracks in the wooden boxIt sent shivers down Austin's spine and made his hair stand on end."Why is it so cold?"Austin furrowed his brow, his heart racing.It was eerily quiet outside.But he could hear the howling of the sea breeze and the roaring of the waves.As the ship moved further toward the center of the water, each crest and trough became increasingly pronounced.Where on earth were they headed?Were the Redmonts planning to spare him but exile him so they could make him a scapegoat?After regaining consciousness from the incident last night, Austin finally calmed down.Aldus had once said, "The more dire the situation, the more
