Chapter 867

Serena stared out at the vast expanse of sky. "Planes leave a trail," she said, her voice calm and calculating. "Dailey will find you eventually."

Christine shivered at the memory of when Mark Larson had abducted Jane. The mere thought of betrayal sent a chill down her spine. Could she truly trust Serena?

"Surprised you're so skittish," Serena observed, noticing Christine's apprehension. "You're someone who dared to pursue Dailey, despite your worlds being miles apart. That takes courage."

Yet here Christine was, running away. What else could she do?

Resolute, she boarded the ship, leaving her doubts behind. Serena watched her with a satisfied smile before speaking with a hint of malice to the captain. "Once we reach international waters, throw her overboard. Let the sharks have her."

No matter where she hid, Dailey would eventually track her down. But if she vanished from the world entirely, maybe he would forget her, given enough time.

Jane received an unexpected call, hoping it was Christine. She stepped away from Gregory, who seemed none too pleased by her secrecy.

She answered, only to hear a young girl's voice. "Is this Jane?"

"Yes," Jane replied gently. "And who might you be?"
