Chapter 26 Sister, I Believe You
Rejoyla understood. No wonder these people were so obedient. They didn't even have the guts to fight. It turned out that some people were sparing no effort to endorse those human traffickers. No, no stalling anymore. What if the ship left again? It would be no use running out.
"Do you know why this ship has to starts as soon as I get here?"
The woman in charge puzzled, asking, "Why?" Trying to be heard by everyone in the cabin, Rejoyla raised her head and answered in a loud voice, "Because I am the daughter of the Sterling family, my grandfather is the richest man in the Capital City, and my uncles are high-ranking officials in the military and political circles. The people from outside must be looking for me. If you can help me get out, I'll let my uncles arrest all these traffickers and shoot them. As long as you can help me, I'll give you a lot of money!"
The expression of the woman in charge changed. She said, "Shut up. Stop talking nonsense. How could you wind up here with us if you were so powerful?"
"I was set up. That's all. If any of you can help me, I'll make sure my grandfather gives you a lot of money."
However, the result disappointed Rejoyla because no one moved. The woman in charge, with a cold glow in her eyes, sarcastically replied in a low voice, "The granddaughter of the richest family. Why, young lady, enjoy our civilian life then. Don't worry, once we get there, I'll tell the buyer that you were a lady from a distinguished family, so that you can serve more clients!"
Rejoyla didn't have time to pay attention to the woman in charge's wicked thought. What she worried was how to get out. It never occurred to her that these people had lost their will. There was
no way she could get out of here on her own against the three women. "What should I do?" she thought to herself.
"Sister, I believe you. Can you really put all those bad people in prison?"
At this time,a small and delicate voice rang out, which turned out to be the girl who had initially spoken to Rejoyla. Rejoyla's nose twitched. She was glad there was one person willing to believe her. Nice, although that silly girl was no help to her at all, she still nodded heavily. "Of course, one of my uncles is a high-ranking official, who specifically hunts down bad guys. He'll surely get them the punishment they deserve!"
The girl lowered her head and thought for a moment. Just as Rejoyla had given up hope and planned to jump into the sea at the right place, the little girl suddenly looked up. She said, "Sisters, let's give it a try!"
The woman in charge sneered and stood in place with her arms folded. She was keen to see how Rejoyla was going to jump into the sea, since she didn't believe anyone would dare to oppose her.
However, what happened next surprised her. No sooner had the little girl spoken than a woman spoke out. Owing to the fact that she hadn't spoken for days, her voice was hoarse, "Flora, we can't get out. Don't waste your energy, or you'll be beaten up again."
"What's the big deal about being beaten up? We've been beaten up many times. If we can't get out, at most we'll take another beating. But what if we can get out? What if we're saved? Do you really want to live such a hopeless life in the future?"
The woman who spoke paused. Indeed, they had been beaten up many times. What was the big deal about taking another beating? What if they really could get out?
The woman stood up trembling. She said, "Okay, I believe you this time. Miss Lynn, can you really promise to send all those people to prison?" Rejoyla was overjoyed. She nodded and said, "Of course, I swear..."
"No need." The woman shook her head. Oath was the most useless thing. Looking at Flora's skinny figure standing on the side, the woman sighed. She felt that Flora's life was long and should not be ruined, so even if there was only one chance, she would give it a try. The worst case scenario was to die, and she really couldn't bear to let this little girl fall into the abyss.
"Are you trying to rebel against me? Shut up, all of you!" The woman in charge didn't expect anyone would stand up to her. She waved her palm and was about to slap the woman who stood up. Rejoyla rushed to help, but was stopped by the two subordinates of the woman in charge.
Rejoyla originally thought that the woman would suffer, but when the woman in charge was halfway to her, with a "plop" she got down on all fours on the deck.
Rejoyla was stunned, and the two women stopping Rejoyla were also stunned.
The woman who reached out and pulled down the woman in charge slowly withdrew her foot and looked up at the woman standing next to Flora. She asked, "Melody, are you sure you want to believe her?"
"Give it a shot!" Melody said slightly, stroking Flora's dry hair.
The woman in charge lying on the ground got up. She spat and rubbed her mouth, cursing, "Bitch, do you wish to die? How dare you mess around here? You want to take a beating?"
As she spoke, she rushed towards Melody, and the two subordinates of the woman in charge also rushed to help. Rejoyla quickly stopped one of them. Now it was three to three. Finally Rejoyla got helpers now. But once again, things went beyond what Rejoyla expected. The women who were
originally sitting on the ground stood up one by one. By their advantage in numbers, they subdued the women in charge and the other two women.
"You, you defy me! I'm going to tell Waston! I'm going to ask Waston to fix you!" The woman in charge was used to running roughshod over people. This was her first time to encounter a setback, so she couldn't take it well and screamed.
"Huh! You can yell louder so that you can summon all the people outside, and we won't have to go out and get help if you do so."
Melody sneered. The woman in charge fell silent instantly.
After taking care of the woman in charge and her two subordinates, Melody looked at Rejoyla, saying, "What are you waiting for? Go!"
"Ah, oh!"
Just then, the ship shook a little. Rejoyla widened her eyes. "No!"
The hull was swaying more frequently, which meant the ship was about to leave. The woman in charge obviously found out what was going on and laughed out loud. She said, "Haha, you bunch of bitches! The ship is going to leave soon. Now let go of me, or else I'll ask Waston to fix you!"
The hands of the woman who pressed her trembled. Thinking of what those people were capable of, she was hesitating whether to beg for mercy. Melody slapped the woman in charge, saying, "Then I'll drag you to die with me!" The sudden burst of hatred in Melody's eyes made the woman in charge shiver.
She remembered that she had helped Waston lure Melody out. That was right after Waston got her. She was beaten a lot, so to avoid being beating up, she said that she had a friend from her hometown, and that she could help abduct her and bring her to him. At that time, Melody trusted her
very much. She answered her phone and ran out in the middle of the night with no hesitance. She did not know that what awaited her was the betrayal of her friend and the torture of the baddies. Therefore, when Melody said she would die with the woman in charge, the woman in charge really believed it and didn't dare to speak.
Rejoyla dared not waste time, and didn't even bother to check what happened to the woman in charge. All she was thinking was to get out before the ship left. She climbed the stairs with both hands and feet. Perhaps it was because human could stimulate their greatest survival instinct in adversity, Rejoyla managed to climb out of the cabin with both hands holding up a wooden board. Rejoyla was lucky, for Waston was busy dealing with the people in front, so he forgot to turn the switch off. Otherwise, she wouldn't lift it no matter how strong she was.
Finally, Rejoyla came out. The moment she came out, the harsh light made her subconsciously narrow her eyes, but she did not forget the main task. She was shedding tears while wiping her eyes with her sleeve, trying to open her eyes and look around.
This was a smuggling ship, so it was quite dilapidated. The exit was located aft of the ship, and in the middle were the driver's cabin and crew accommodation, which blocked the view ahead. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She was lucky that when she came out, no one was around. However, she could hear a sound coming from not far away, and the footsteps gradually progressed.
"What a bad day. Why are we suddenly being searched? We've never been searched before!"
"It's okay. At least we're good now. Tell Tom to set sail now."
"Hey, Boss, why do I feel like something is not right. You see, there is a man on the ship. He is obviously no ordinary man."
"What do you mean?" A cold male voice sounded.
"I just want to know who the last woman was. Boss, the most taboo thing in our profession is to offend big shots. Is the woman really a simple woman?"
"This has never happened before. It's the first time. Could it be the woman really has a problem?"
"Since when is something wrong with the people sent by Baker? No more nonsense. Hurry up!"
This man was very authoritative. When he spoke, everyone remained silent, only the sound of footsteps remaining.
Rejoyla was so anxious that her forehead was sweating, but there was nothing on the deck, so she had nowhere to hide. As the footsteps approached, Rejoyla closed her eyes and took a deep breath. In the moment she opened her eyes, she suddenly exerted all her strength and charged towards the crowd. She shouted loudly as she ran, "Help! Help!"
That group of people were stunned, but the man in the middle was very sharp. With a cold and gloomy light flashing in his eyes, he said, "Damn it!"
Rejoyla turned around and ran towards the person at the bow of the boat. She dared not think of anything and exerted all her strength. In her ear was the howling sea breeze, which vividly depicted her current mood. The ship was not large, so as soon as she reached the bow, she saw a yacht. Perhaps she had an illusion on account of the fact that she was too eager to see someone come to save her, she saw Jason inside through the transparent glass door of the yacht. Rejoyla couldn't help but shout, "Jason, help me!"
"Bitch, get back!"
A cold voice rang in Rejoyla's ear, and she dared not turn back. She quickly jumped into the sea. This was her last chance. Rejoyla didn't know how to swim. When she was a child, she went swimming with her father once. That day, she mischievously wanted to push the little white goose
swimming ring into the water. Although she succeeded, she fell headlong into the water and drank a mouthful of mud. She almost died. Fortunately, Roger Lynn picked up Rejoyla immediately. She was out of breath, but there happened to be someone who knew first aid, which allowed Rejoyla to survive until now. Since then, Rejoyla had no longer enjoyed swimming.
Now Rejoyla deeply regreted not having this skill now. If she could swim, she would swim as hard as she could to the opposite yacht, instead of uncontrollably sinking.
Seawater poured into her nose, Rejoyla's vision had been blurred. She had chest pain, couldn't breathe, and her mind was chaotic. She told herself she had to hold on for a while longer, but her eyelids slowly closed uncontrollably...
