Chapter 251 The car screeched to a halt at an abandoned dock, surrounded by tangled weeds and crumbling infrastructure.

A rusted surveillance camera, long defunct, hung crookedly from its post, its lens obscured by a massive wasp nest.

In stark contrast to the decay, a brand-new yacht gleamed along the shore, pristine and out of place.

Elizabeth was yanked out of the car by her captors and dragged onto the yacht.

Elizabeth’s expression was stoic, her eyes hard as steel.
