Could it be that Edwin and the others were cornered if they failed to save them, so they were going to blame him?
Erik wasn’t stupid at all.
“Ewan, go and see who it is first. If it’s not our people, drive them all away.”
“Yes.” Ewan followed the order and tucked in his nightgown. Then he went downstairs cautiously, and opened the door with a male servant by his side.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw that it was Elliot standing under the night, wearing night dew, and Ewan immediately lowered his vigilance.
“Sir, why are you here?”
“Where’s Erik?” Elliot asked flatly.
“He’s upstairs.” Ewan was careful, looked around Elliot, and completely relieved after seeing no one else. Then he asked,
“Should I inform him?”
“I come here for my brother. Should he be informed?” Ewan’s eyes rolled. Elliot understood what he was thinking, so he walked towards the door while talking, forcing Ewan to back up again and again. At this moment, he saw Elliot raising his hand up. A few tall men walked out of the door in an instant, and Ewan felt something was wrong!
“Mr. Davis, go! Elliot is here to catch you!” Ewan yelled at the top of his voice, and the security personnel stepped forward and grabbed him, but Elliot ignored him and walked straight in.
“Search.” Elliot ordered, standing in the middle of the living room.
The four security personnel went upstairs and searched the room one by one, but there was no sign of Erik. Only a few male and female servants were caught. But Elliot was not worried and calmly waited in the living room. Erik was “invited” back by two security guards guarding the side door.
At this time, Erik was wearing a nightgown, sweating profusely from running at the age of fifty. He was panting heavily, looking quite embarrassed.
“Elliot! What do you want!” Brought back to the living room, glaring at Elliot, Erik called him by his first name and questioned loudly.
“Erik, I’ll ask you one last time, do you want to change it?” Elliot asked Erik with burning eyes, hiding the last trace of affection.
“I’m not wrong! What should I change?!” Erik yelled at the top of his throat.
A helpless sigh spread in Elliot’s heart. He turned around and ordered to the security personnel.
“Take him away and restrain the rest in case they call Spencer.”
“Elliot! How dare you!” Erik yelled as he struggled with his hands clamped.
“I don’t dare?!” Elliot was furious, turned his head and stared at Erik and shouted,
“You and Spencer are so daring! You even dared to kidnap Mrs. Brown! You even threatened to take their lives. Even if you and your son are ignoring the law, have you ever thought about who the Edwin family and the Brown family are?! The strength of the two big families is unpredictable. If you aren’t surnamed Davies, you think you can be arrogant until now?!”
Erik froze for a moment, finally realizing who Elliot had been instructed by.
“So you would rather betray your brother to others?!” Erik not only did not repent, but also accused Elliot. “Aren’t you afraid of getting involved? But you want to clean up your relationship with me?!”
“I’m here to save them!” Elliot was furious. Erik in front of him was so strange to him. Once upon a time, his younger brother with a bright smile had turned into a villain who was now mercenary. After realizing this, Elliot no longer held back.
“Even if Edwin doesn’t ask, I will tie you up and let you apologize in front of him!”
“Elliot,” Seeing that Elliot was really merciless, Erik still yelled when he was turned out the door.
“You bastard who betrayed your family, have you forgotten how you promised dad at the beginning?!”
Elliot turned a deaf ear. This time, he would never help him again.
Just like that, Erik didn’t even have a chance to change clothes, and was taken directly to Arthur’s hangar in the suburbs by Elliot. They got on the helicopter immediately, and rushed towards the sea area where the freighter was located overnight.
On the helicopter, Erik was cursing at first. Seeing Elliot keep looking out the window and ignoring him, finally he was tired and could no longer make a sound. Looking at the dark night outside the window, Erik was hoping that his son can find out as soon as possible and be prepared to deal with this situation.
After sailing overnight, Spencer was relieved when he learned from Dan that the freighter did not catch up. After all, the danger was only their guesswork and self- defense. His mood was much better than before.
But Dan didn’t dare to relax. He always felt that things were not that simple.
“Mr. Davies, I think it’s better to lock Esmae and Lucia in the bilge. If we are really attacked, the target in the cabin is too obvious.” Standing on the deck, Dan suggested to Spencer who was enjoying the morning sea view.
Spencer took a sip of steaming coffee, nodded and said,
“That’s fine. Anyway, I’m not afraid that Esmae and Lucia will talk to each other again. Besides…” His eyes flashed slightly, and he said, “I’m afraid Lucia doesn’t have the strength to speak now.”
Spencer was right. Lucia hadn’t eaten since he separated the child from her yesterday, and she knocked over the food that was brought in, so she must be very weak now.
Something flashed in Dan’s eyes when he heard this, and he said,
“I’ll take them to the bilge.”
“Go.” Spencer said in a low voice, looking lazily at the boundless sea in the distance.
Dan walked back to the cabin, turned his head and glanced at Spencer. Seeing that he didn’t pay attention to the situation here, he turned around and went to the kitchen to get some simple food, and brought them to Lucia’s cabin.
As soon as the door opened, Dan kicked an overturned bowl under his feet. He glanced down and walked straight over to the room.
Under the porthole, Lucia was sitting on the floor with her hands hugging her knees. Her whole face was buried in her knees. She was motionless, like a dusty doll that had been forgotten.
Dan looked at Lucia for a long time, then walked over slowly, squatted in front of her and put the dinner plate at her feet. His usually stiff voice softened slightly at this time, and he said,
“You’d better eat something.”
Lucia remained motionless. Her long hair was over her shoulders and over her legs, looking like her last defense.
Dan stared at Lucia’s hair in a daze, and suddenly his hand was slapped away with a palm. He was shocked to find that he had reached out to hold a lock of her hair at some point, and Lucia was finally willing to raise her head, but her eyes were full of anger.
“Don’t touch me!” Lucia’s voice was terribly hoarse. Not only did she not even touch the food, she didn’t even drink the water.
When he looked into Lucia’s eyes, Dan’s eyes were obscure, and he said lightly,
“You’ll see Esmae later. Don’t you want her to see you like this?”
