Sawyer turned to look at Sasha, who hung her head in shame.
“I’m sorry, Dad. I ... I have been blinded!”
Sawyer was not angry. On the way here, Sasha had already made it clear that she was resentful at his partiality!
“Stop talking. Let’s talk about those things when we come back home.”
Having risen to his feet after supporting himself against the edge of the bed, Sawyer looked at Wendy.
“I won’t sign this agreement. For Emily’s sake, I will forgive you for pretending to be my granddaughter.”
Right now, he only wanted to hurry back to see Emily.
He wanted to hear Emily call him grandpa!
“Sawyer, do you really think you can leave this behind without signing the agreement today?”
“Wendy, what else do you want to do? Even if you force my father to sign and succeed, we can still ask our lawyer to confront you after we are back home!”
Sasha was eager to kill this bad woman!
Wendy stirred things up and tempted her, so she lost her mind!
Wendy shrugged her shoulders, looking at Sasha as if Sasha was a clown.
“Sasha, we are on high seas. You bring your father here. Do you want to slough off your responsibility?”
High seas!
After exchanging glances, Sasha and Sawyer were nervous.
Sasha finally was alerted that they were on high seas.
There were too many pirates here. If they encountered pirates, they would undoubtedly die.
What should they do?
Sasha fixed her eyes on Sawyer.
Looking at Wendy, Sawyer said determinedly, “I won’t sign the agreement, even if you kill me!”
“To kill you? If so, I will get nothing.”
Wendy was not stupid. She covered her lips with a bright smile.
“However, someone has been no use to me now.”
Two goons who stood in front of Sasha suddenly turned around and kicked her in the stomach.
Sasha fell to the ground with a thud. She bent her waist in pain, unable to speak.
“Sasha!” Sawyer was worried about her, wanting to go over and help her up. But he was pushed back by goons.
Sawyer glared at Wendy. “How dare you?”
The Gales had never been bullied.
Wendy seemed certain to win. But she couldn’t help but take half a step back because of Sawyer’s cold stare.
With many years’ experience of being a powerful businessman, despite of his retirement, Sawyer was still able to make people stand in awe of him.
However, Wendy quickly calmed herself down.
They were on high seas. The ship was surrounded by her people. She needed not to be afraid.
“Today, you have to sign it!”
Wendy straightened her back. She had lived with Sawyer for more than one month, thus she was very clear that Sawyer cared about his family very much.
His approach to life was refreshingly naïve.
He believed that money could be earned again, but once a person died, the one would never come back again.
Wendy had a good knowledge that Sawyer had been feeling extreme guilty about Harley’s death.
She walked over to kick Sasha. The sharp pain rendered her pale.
Sasha sweated profusely in pain while gritting her teeth.
“Grandpa, do you agree to sign it? If you don’t, I’ll chop her up.”
No sooner did Wendy finish speaking than her subordinates handed her a knife.
She had lived with the Gales for more than a month. Unexpectedly, this girl was so ruthless!
Wendy did not feel that she was doing something wrong. Holding the knife, she looked at Sawyer.
“Do you agree to sign or not?”
…
Half an hour later, Sawyer and Sasha were left on the boat, by which they came here.
Seeing his expression, Sasha was thrown in a state of deeper panic.
“Dad, don’t be anxious. Sit down and rest for a while. Why don’t you … let me try?”
Her father suffered from heart disease. Just now, he was provoked by Wendy. In addition, he found out that Wendy deceived him. After experiencing so much, Sawyer was almost unable to withstand it!
“Dad, don’t worry. Sit down first.”
“It’s fine. Despite of my advanced age, I’m vigorous. Don’t worry.”
Although he comforted Sasha that he was fine, he was getting paler and paler.
Even his hands started to tremble.
He had been forcing himself to be strong. But now, he was on the verge of collapse.
“Dad … Dad! How are you? Don’t scare me!”
After two seconds of silence, Sawyer suddenly fell to the side.
Being scared to death, Sasha immediately rushed over to support him.
Sawyer’s eyes were tightly closed, and he fainted.
“Dad! Dad, wake up. Don’t scare me. Don’t scare me!”
They were at sea, where doctors or medicine were not accessible. What should she do?
It was all her fault. If she had not been so greedy, Wendy would not have persuaded her.
How happy her family used to be! But now, would they really going to die?
“Dad …”
Suddenly, the sound of radar coming from a yacht caught Sasha’s attention.
Why was the yacht approaching them?
Were there pirates on it?
Sasha was seized by fear. After helping Sawyer lie down, she quickly walked to the window and looked outside.
A small yacht was coming towards them.
A man was standing on the deck. Is that him?
