Chapter 271 The Victor Has Been the King

Compared to Jayson, Lucian was much calmer.

He had a calm expression on his face and spoke lightly, “Mrs. Dalton, you should understand your own identity. Mr. Dalton has been

sleepless for several days and nights searching for you, and now you

are standing in front of another man. Have you considered Mr. Dalton’s feelings?”

Peyton certainly knew Nolan’s feelings. But did she have any other choices?

“This child was my neighbor’s younger brother. It was me who begged him to take me away. Everything was my fault, so please don’t touch him.”

Kevin saw how anxious she was and smiled gently, “Peyton, stop talking. It’s useless. I have already mentally prepared myself for this

outcome.”

He took a risk and gambled with Peyton’s life.

He was just one step away from winning. But in the end, he was just a little unlucky.

Kevin didn’t expect that Nolan, who was a dominant figure in the business world, could freely deploy the coast guard.

Nolan’s gaze fell directly on Kevin’s face. His voice was extremely cold: “You were very clever.”

“I was not as clever as Mr. Dalton. Even the heavens were on your side. I was just one step away, but in the end, I was still a loser.”

Kevin stood there confidently, like a bamboo.

Nolan admired this young boy. He was brave and resourceful, and he had ambitions beyond his age.

“Ambition is a good thing, but she is not someone that just anyone can obtain.”

Nolan simply commented, “Throughout history, the victor has been the king.”

“I understood.”

The ships of the coast guard also gradually disappeared. Soon, there were only two boats left on the calm sea.

The lights on the deck were not bright. The light shone on Nolan, but it couldn’t dispel the coldness on him.

He stared straight at Peyton and said, “Come here.”

Peyton was very anxious. She didn’t want to upset Nolan, but she also didn’t want to move away from Kevin.

Jayson coughed lightly and said, “Mrs. Dalton, you knew that Mr. Dalton could be very terrifying when he got angry.”

Peyton slowly walked towards Nolan, her eyes pleadingly looking at him.

Nolan, however, remained silent and led Peyton into the cabin.

At this moment, Peyton was soaked by the slanting rain, and a thin layer of water droplets clung to her hair.

Peyton’s half–wet body resembled a mermaid just emerged from the water, evoking immense pity.

She wanted to speak several times, but Nolan didn’t give her a chance to speak.

“Which one was your room?”

Peyton pointed at the room with the open door. Nolan pulled her in and looked around, snorting coldly, “He is indeed meticulous.”

Nolan plunged into the bathroom. When he emerged, he had a dry towel in his hand. He gently wiped the water droplets off her head. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Peyton looked outside through the glass. Jayson had already tied up

Kevin.

A terrifying thought flashed through Peyton’s mind, “What, what are you going to do to him?”

Nolan’s fingers were gentle, but he spoke the most chilling words.

“It’s simple. Tie him up with a rope and throw him into the sea. As long as he’s still alive, I’ll spare him.”

It took more than two hours to swim from here to the harbor. The weather was so bad, which made the journey even longer.

Not to mention whether he was cold in the water, if Kevin was targeted by a shark, he would be done for.

Peyton became anxious and immediately wanted to speak.

Nolan gently caressed her face and said, “Peytie, do you know how I’ve been getting through these days? Just the thought of him hiding you, I can’t help but wish to tear him into pieces! Don’t plead for mercy. Every time you say another word, I’ll make a cut on him. You should know, sharks love bloodshed.”
