Wendy trembled in Benny’s arms.
Benny tightened his embrace, trying to offer comfort.
“It’ll be over soon. Hang in there.”

Wendy had disappeared, and Stanley had sent more people to search for her.
It wasn’t long before Zayn brought in some surveillance footage. “Mr. Hawk, we found them. They boarded a yacht together.”
Stanley watched the footage, seeing Benny board the yacht, with Wendy already on it.
His handsome face darkened, his expression grim. “Why did Benny suddenly come to
Feirwale?”
No one knew why Benny had come.
“Mr. Hawk, I think Benny came because of Ms. Wendy,” Zayn said carefully.
“Did they find the yacht?” Stanley asked sharply.
“We’ve sent people to the sea. The yacht exploded.”
Stanley immediately stood up. “What did you say? Exploded?”
Zayn nodded. “Yes. The yacht was loaded with explosives.”
Just then, Jessica walked over. “Benny must’ve planted those bombs! He wanted to kill
Wendy. I knew Benny hated her, but I didn’t realize he hated her that much. Now Benny’s gone too. Do you think they both died in the explosion?”
This footage didn’t capture Jessica–though she wouldn’t have allowed it to in the first
place.

Now that Wendy and Benny were both presumably dead, she could shift all the blame onto Benny. This way, she could clear herself of any suspicion.
Stanley didn’t even look at Jessica. His voice was cold and low. “Search along the river. I want to see them to know for sure, even if it’s in a body bag.”
Zayn nodded. “Understood.”
Without another word, Stanley turned and walked away.
“Stanley!” Jessica immediately grabbed his arm. “Where are you going? I came here for you! Aren’t you going to spend time with me?”
Stanley’s voice was ice–cold, devoid of any warmth. “I need to find Wendy and Benny.”
“But they’re probably dead.”
“I don’t think so.”
With that, Stanley wrenched his arm away from her grip and walked off, Zayn following closely behind.
He was going to look for Wendy and Benny.
Jessica stood there, her face darkened with frustration. Wendy was in trouble, and Stanley was so worried.
It’s all pointless. The yacht exploded in the sea. Wendy had to be dead.
As for Benny…
He couldn’t hold this against Jessica. After all, he was the one who wouldn’t do as he was told.
Stanley and his team scoured the area by sea, but came up empty–handed.
Stanley looked at the map. “Where is this?”

“It’s Jetmore,” Zayn replied, “a village along the river.”
Stanley paused, thinking for a moment. “Head there.”

Soon, Stanley’s team arrived at Jetmore. Zayn asked, “Do you think Ms. Wendy and Benny
are here?”
Stanley froze for a moment as his gaze landed on the beach. There, he spotted something
small glinting in the sand–a pearl earring.
Bending down, he picked it up before cupping it gently in his hand.
Zayn’s eyes widened in recognition. “I remember this pearl earring! It belongs to Ms.
Wendy! We’re on the right track. She and Benny must be here.”
The earring was cold to the touch as Stanley clenched his fist around it. Soon, the chill
melted into his warm hand.
He looked up, his eyes scanning the village ahead as he wondered if Wendy and Benny were
here.
He had come for them!
