Chapter 268

Samson pulled Samantha aside and told her what had happened that day. After hearing Samson's account, Samantha felt sorry for Elvira and considered Judy disgusting and troublesome.

“Hasn’t Judy been caught yet? Did she escape again? Why?” Samantha asked, her voice laced with violent hatred toward Judy.

“Not yet. She’s cunning. She and those men escaped by water, and we didn’t have anything like a submarine for the hunt. We will strengthen protection from now on. We won’t make the same mistake again,” Samson assured Samantha.

Samantha was about to walk away after a glare at Samson, but he quickly pulled her back. “Honey, you must be tired after such an eventful day. Let me escort you home. There are many guards, so Elvira will be safe tonight,” Samson said.

“No. I am worried about Elvira. I will stay here. Go if you want to,” Samantha responded. She didn’t bring up the topic of divorce, but her attitude toward Samson remained unfriendly. She couldn’t completely forgive him because the loss of her child was like a thorn in her heart. She didn’t understand why Samson wouldn’t let her go. ‘What is the point of this hopeless marriage?’ she wondered.

Samantha intended to order food in her office because she hadn’t had dinner yet. Samson followed his wife everywhere she went, and Samantha could do nothing but ignore him.

Samson didn’t feel offended or frustrated. He didn’t have the slightest intention of letting go of Samantha. To win her heart again, he had already mentally prepared himself for the difficulties and worked hard.

Apart from scratches on her wrists, Alice had no other wounds. She was tough and didn’t make a fuss after being rescued. She was worried about Elvira because she had seen Judy hit Elvira on the leg with her own eyes.

Elvira asked about Alice shortly after she woke up. Zach quickly comforted his wife, saying, “Relax. Alice is fine. She is with Leonard now. She is worried about you.”

Hearing Zach, Elvira felt relieved. Her face was so pale that Zach brought over chicken soup and fed her. The sharp pain from her leg made Elvira curse Judy in her heart. She cooperated with the feeding because she didn’t want to worry Tracy and Skylar about her health.

“Has Judy been captured?” Elvira asked.

“Not yet. However, I won’t let this happen again,” Zach assured his wife.

Elvira smiled weakly. “Don’t blame yourself. Not your fault.” She didn’t want Zach to blame himself for the incident. In her opinion, he had done well enough, and she felt satisfied that both Alice and her babies were safe and sound.

Zach now focused solely on helping Elvira recover as soon as possible. He fed her the chicken soup spoonful by spoonful, wishing for a quick recovery.

After Elvira finished the chicken soup, Zach looked at her sympathetically and asked, “Do you want to take some painkillers? A small amount won’t hurt the babies.”

“No, I won’t take the risk. I can endure the pain. Can you tell me a story? Your voice can help alleviate the pain,” Elvira said, stroking Zach’s face.

Immediately, Zach took out his phone, found a story, and began to tell it with Elvira in his arms. Listening to his soothing voice, Elvira closed her eyes and felt the pain in her wound lessen.

Judy and her men left Averna’s sea areas. Her helpers were waiting for her, though she didn’t know who they were. However, one thing was certain: their boss was Zach’s enemy. The enemy of the enemy was a friend.

After a deep breath, Judy looked back at the sea and swore to herself that she would kill Elvira one day.

Along with a loud bang, Judy’s yacht was hit by a bomb. On the deck, Judy almost lost her balance. She quickly grabbed the railing and angrily demanded, “What is that? Didn’t you say that we are safe?”

“I don’t know. We already left the sea areas of Averna. This is international waters. We’re supposed to be safe,” a bodyguard replied.

Speaking, he saw several speedboats approach and provocatively circle his yacht. In the first speedboat, a woman in black held a rocket launcher and fired another shot at the yacht.

After the loud bang, the yacht was destroyed, the people on deck fell into the sea, and the others jumped overboard for their lives.

After a while, Judy was captured and carried onto a speedboat. The speedboats quickly left international waters.

The bodyguards in the sea were clueless about the attack and the attackers. The lead bodyguard instantly updated his boss that Judy had been taken away. “Boss, what should we do now? We got attacked, and Judy has been taken away by the attackers.”

“So be it. She’s no longer of much use,” his boss said.

In the speedboat, Judy looked at the arrogant woman in sunglasses with fear and stammered, “Who are you? Why did you capture me? I don’t know you at all.”

The woman in black walked over. She slapped Judy a few times while cursing, “Do you? You fucking kidnapped my daughter. How dare you mess with her? You must be tired of living!”

Instantly, Judy felt dizzy, and her face ached. Looking at the stranger in a daze, she mumbled, “Who are you?”

The woman took off her sunglasses, revealing her beautiful face, 70% similar to Zach’s. Grace pointed at her face and said, “Open your eyes and look carefully. My name is Grace. Alice is my daughter. How dare you mess with her!”

Speaking, Grace punched and kicked Judy. Judy kept begging for mercy, but Grace was ruthless. In a few minutes, Judy was beaten unconscious.

With another two kicks, Grace confirmed that Judy had fainted. Bored, she said, “How could such a useless thing kidnap Alice? What has Zach been doing all these years?”

“He is married. How can he be as unruly as you?” A man teased Grace with a smile.

Grace raised her palm to slap the man, and he quickly dodged the attack, which could have pained him for three days.
