Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1387

1387 /1390

Abis was already carrying an unconscious Emmy onto the yacht, while Penny, completely covered in blood, charged at him with a raised dagger. She was desperately trying to snatch Emmy back from his grasp. But Abis merely raised his leg and delivered a brutal kick to Penny's chest.

With a sickening thud, Penny was sent crashing hard against the metal railing, violently coughing up a massive mouthful of blood.

Watching the scene unfold, Emmy's pupils contracted sharply. Her hands clamped down on the edges of the tablet so tightly that her knuckles turned stark white.

On the screen, one of Abis's men ran over in a panic, urging him to leave immediately because James and Calony were closing in. The situation was clearly at a critical breaking point. Abis's face darkened terrifyingly. He glanced down at the woman in his arms, caught in a moment of intense internal struggle, before finally shoving her into a life ring and throwing her into the sea.

The moment the yacht sped away, Penny did not hesitate for a split second. Dragging her heavily wounded body, she threw herself into the ocean after Emmy.

Mercedes furiously screamed at the retreating speedboat. "Abis! What the hell are you doing?! Did you not say you were going to take her away? Why did you just leave her behind?!" She tried to swim over to interrogate him, but the yacht was already tearing across the water, leaving nothing but a churning wake of white foam.

Mercedes turned her head back toward the sea. She watched as Emmy slipped completely out of the life ring due to the force of the impact, sinking helplessly toward the deep ocean floor. Mercedes instinctively began paddling, intending to swim over to her. But Penny had already plunged into the depths ahead of her, hauling the sinking Emmy up. Supporting Emmy's neck with one arm, Penny swam desperately toward another nearby yacht.

Mercedes was just about to follow them when a hand suddenly locked around her ankle. "Save... save me..."

It was one of Abis's henchmen. He had been severely injured and abandoned in the ocean, and now he clung to Mercedes like a drowning ghost. Mercedes shrieked in terror, frantically kicking the man in the face with her free leg. "Get off me! Let me go!"

The man was already a ruthless, violent criminal. Pushed to the brink of desperation, his will to live instantly warped into a murderous desire to drag someone down with him. "You stupid bitch... If you will not save me, then we die together!" Smiling maliciously, he swung his blade relentlessly toward Mercedes.
