Chapter 699

He didn't know why he growled, staring at the woman floating on the sea, his head starting to ache, even losing control over his own actions. The sailor immediately steered the yacht in the opposite direction.

Tiana couldn't believe her luck; had someone on this cruise ship spotted her in distress?

They were heading her way.

Maybe she wouldn't have to die here after all.

She shivered, huddling into herself.

Yet... as the cruise ship drew nearer, she peered over eagerly, her eyes widening, the man standing on deck against the sea breeze... looked familiar. Could it be... Parker?!

Was she hallucinating?

But... this was the old brick factory where he had vanished, and the sea below was outside the territorial waters of Emperor City.

Could it be...

Tiana was stunned, her heart beating wildly as she stared at the approaching yacht.

"Parker... is it you?"

Whitney had come home early to wait for Tiana while keeping Cherry company.

Tiana had something important to share, her tone over the phone was unusually urgent.

But as night fell, Tiana was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, Whitney's phone buzzed with a message from Tiana: "Whitney! I've stumbled upon some clues about Parker's disappearance. I have to make a sudden trip to the old brick factory, it's quite far from home, might take several days. Don't worry about me, and don't try to contact me, the signal by the sea is poor. Please, take care of Cherry!"
