Chapter 1869 Demise

Back on the ship, hidden within the shadows, Rochelle was taken aback, witnessing Gareth's leap into the water.

Driven by an instinct to rescue, she swiftly tossed a lifebuoy into the waves.

The buoy was attached to a rope, giving Rochelle the means to haul Gareth back aboard if she reeled in the line.

Yet, Gareth was on a mission to save Elisa. He secured the lifebuoy around her just as cramps seized her unexpectedly.

Taking in the situation, Rochelle paused for a moment. She recalled Paul mentioning Elisa was a seasoned swimmer, so the plan wasn't to drown her.

Although, there was a part of her that wouldn't have minded if Elisa ended up drowned. Still, Rochelle's intention was to ensure Elisa's survival – not out of concern but to give her a taste of humiliation and a much-needed life lesson.

But then, out of the blue, Elisa was hit by a sudden cramp, giving the appearance that she was struggling to stay afloat.

Rochelle couldn't help but find the situation somewhat amusing, entertaining the thought that fate might be playing a hand in her favor.

Of course, it was precisely then that Gareth chose to intervene.
