Chapter 38 Her Choice
Just as everyone was anxious, Henry's voice quietly reached everyone's ears. "Who said that? Claire, do you despise yourself too much, or Mrs. Gu too much?"
It was obvious that the appearance of Henry had become a fuel to the rising atmosphere. Byron, who had been a little anxious just now, immediately found the feeling. He turned around quickly and held Claire tightly in his arms, threatening, "Mr. Henry, long time no see. I didn't expect to spend so much time negotiating with you."
Without saying a word, Henry stared at the three men in front of him, his face full of confusion. If he remembered correctly, he should not know these three men, right?
Byron's smile was obscure. He leaned forward a little and sneered, "Henry, I know you care about this woman. Don't dawdle. I believe you know why we came to you. As long as you give us the deeds of the house, we can return this lady to you. "
They didn't expect that Henry would really come here just for a woman. Or was it because those people around him put too much pressure on him that he had no choice?
Claire's eyes widened in surprise, "Henry, how could you... Why are you here? "
Didn't he abandon her? How could he come here at such a critical moment?
At this moment, David and Louis also came here. The two of them obviously knew something about the situation here.
In fact, the person who was the most nervous was not Henry, but David. Others might not know how important the title deed was to Henry, but he did!
David could tell that Henry had a special feeling for Claire, so he was afraid that Henry would agree. Once he promised these desperadoes, it would not be easy to take them back.
Even if the other party had agreed to let Claire go in exchange, they couldn't completely believe it. Killing people for money was already a piece of cake for them!
The silence of Henry was even more unsettling. No one could guess what he was thinking at the moment. Everyone was waiting for Henry's words. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
He would either nod or shake his head. When he made a decision, there would also be people who would make appropriate sacrifices for this matter! And that person was Claire!
When Henry was about to say something, David took the initiative to get close to him regardless of the difference in his identity and persuaded him in an agitated voice, "Mr. Henry, you can't agree. The title deed is the most important thing Mrs. Kate left to you before she died. Once you give it to them, all the memories Mrs. Kate left to you will be gone! "
He knew what kind of existence Henry's mother meant to him. In Henry's eyes, family affection was more important than anything else. He couldn't let his only warmth be ruined by his impulse.
Henry clenched his fists, as if he was shaking because of David's words. After thinking for a while, Henry smiled with relief and looked at Claire. "I know. But Claire, don't forget that your life is mine. It's me who decide your life and death. It has nothing to do with others! "
Obviously, Henry had made up his mind.
Somehow, when Claire saw the firmness in Henry's eyes, she gradually calmed down. She took the initiative to smile and fixed her eyes on Henry. With a smile on her face, she said, "I just want to ask you... Have you ever loved me? Have you ever loved me, Claire? "
She couldn't figure out what this man was thinking about. He could have used her as a pawn before, but now he came back to save her. What kind of existence was Claire in the heart of Henry?
Henry slowly put his hands around his chest, shook his head and asked, "Claire, I've told you that I've been there all the time. Besides... Do you really believe that I will lose? I, Henry... I never do anything that I'm not sure of! "
Didn't Claire trust him too little? If he was not sure, how could he agree? Even if he really lost, Henry would make up for Louis at other costs. He didn't lack women, neither did Louis. What he wanted was just to take everything from Henry, which was clear to Henry.
Claire's nose twitched as if she had thought of something. She raised her head, forced a smile and said loudly, "It's enough to have you said this. Henry, fortunately, I, Claire, don't love the wrong person. That's enough. Henry, can you promise me one thing? "
Shirley was her only concern now. As long as Henry could take good care of Shirley, she was willing to risk her two lives to protect what Henry cared about. She, Claire, wasn't a great woman, but she knew what gratitude was!
After hesitating for a while, Henry nodded. Now that the man's knife was on Claire's neck, she was still in the mood to talk about something else at such a critical moment.
The big stone in her heart was instantly relieved when she saw the action of Henry.
Claire slowly stretched her body and carefully stepped back, while Byron had no choice but to follow her. Shaking her head, Claire said calmly, "Henry, help me take care of my mother. This is the biggest obstacle in my life. Don't worry. I'm not a person who doesn't know how to observe the situation. I know how to repay you. My mother taught me this! I won't hold you back. It's just a life. I'll give it to you! "
Speaking of the last few words, Claire suddenly pushed away Byron in front of her and jumped directly to the sea from the top of the deck without saying a word. With a thump, her pretty and stubborn back disappeared from everyone's sight.
Everyone was stunned at that moment. Louis was the first to react. He waved his hand and shouted, "Arrest the three people right now. Capture them alive. Don't let them commit suicide. You must investigate it clearly! We can't let go of any clues! "
The relationship between him and Henry had been stiff. If they continued to quarrel like this, Henry would probably embarrass him on purpose. There was another very important thing... That is... If the gamble was unveiled, Louis would lose, not Henry! Therefore, in a sense, Louis should thank Claire.
If it weren't for the fact that Claire had successfully distracted Henry's attention, he would regret and being laughed at the moment. What's more, this group of people make trouble, let Louis particularly feel no face! He had been on high alert, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"Oh my God. What the hell is going on? What are those people doing? "
"I don't know. If it goes on like this, will our trip really be safe?"
"I think we'd better apply for leaving as soon as possible. I don't think it's safe at all!"
People around them were talking about it, and the expression on Louis's face became more and more gloomy.
"Damn it!"
Henry took off his coat and jumped into the sea to find Claire. This woman was pregnant with his child. How could she do such a stupid thing? Henry didn't owe her anything to take good care of her mother!
"Claire!"
Enraged, Henry quickened his pace while shouting out Claire's name. Seeing that, David also jumped into the water. If anything happened to Henry, it was because he was alienated from his duty!
On the other hand, Louis didn't dare to stop. After several troubles, he tied up the three men, but Louis didn't know that besides these three men, there were other assistants! If he couldn't find it out as soon as possible, this matter would not be so easy to pass.
With a displeased look on his face, Louis stared at the man in front of him and asked, "Let me ask you, who is the person who instructed you?"
Their purpose was obvious Henry. It should be an accident that Claire was involved, because it was totally on the spur of the moment that Louis invited Claire to this cruise ship. Looking at the meticulous arrangement of the other party, it should not be planned for a day or two. Then what went wrong?
Byron didn't panic at all. Instead, he followed Louis with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Louis, don't worry. Our goal is Henry and won't hurt your other passengers. We are all on the same way. If you are willing to let go of us three now, there will be benefits for you at that time. But I don't know if Mr. Louis will let us go or not? We are just small potatoes. It's useless to be angry with us. Mr. Louis, you are a smart man. You should understand what I mean, right? "
As long as they avoided Henry, they could do anything else. Otherwise, if their boss knew that this matter was exposed like this, their ending might be more tragic than that of Claire!
