Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 1062 At the Edge of the Container
Azalea took a glance down below. Although they were on an old cargo ship, there was still the sea beneath them.

However, considering the height of three containers plus the cargo ship, a fall from here would surely not end well.

"You're not just after the money. You're trying to kill me," Eugene stated calmly.

Cameron guffawed at that. "Say whatever you want."

As he spoke, Eugene's phone rang. It was a call from Olivia.

Eugene quietly laughed at how much fun his woman was having. Since he also wanted to divert their attention, he swiped across the screen to answer the call. "What's wrong, Olivia?"

On the other end of the line, Olivia put on her best acting skills. "Eugene! Please come and save me! Hurry!"

Her helpless and desperate plea for help made the man instinctively nervous. He couldn't tell if she was telling the truth or not.

After all, Azalea's situation has already deviated from the plan. Does this mean that Olivia and the children have not reached home yet?

"Olivia! Olivia, where are you?"

Considering the possibility of him having the call on speaker mode, she maintained her acting skills. "I'm at Westend. They want to kill me! Eugene, please save me…"

Eugene asked again, "What about the bodyguards? I assigned bodyguards for you, didn't I?"

"I don't see any bodyguards!"

Eugene finally could tell that Olivia was acting upon hearing that. And here I am, so close to having a heart attack! As his tense body relaxed, he pretended to be anxious and comforted her, "Don't panic, okay? Don't worry. I'll be there right away."

While acting uneasy on the phone, he paced back and forth as if he was genuinely frantic.

Azalea felt guiltier when she saw him doing that. It was she who had trapped him in this dilemma. She knew that this was all staged, but that wasn't the same for Eugene.

She had betrayed his trust and wasted his effort in giving up on Olivia to come and save her.

Cameron, on the other hand, grew angry from the embarrassment as he looked at Azalea's worried face. "What the f*ck are you looking at?" he growled while moving the knife and slashing it across her cheek.

The woman reacted by letting out a muffled scream as blood dripped from her face.

When Eugene saw that they were distracted, he quickly hurled his phone at Cameron's knife, knocking it out of Cameron's hand and onto the floor with a clang.

Startled, Cameron reached out to pick up the knife, only to have Eugene approach to pull Azalea away from him.

Cameron noticed Eugene's intentions and started running toward Azalea. After all, he was closer to her. When he realized Eugene was about to grab him, he instinctively reached out to block the man. He intended to shield himself, but he didn't realize that Azalea was already at the edge of the container. With his sudden push, she lost her footing and fell off.

"Azalea!"
