Chapter 436

"Mommy, am I doing the right thing?"

Sherry muttered with her head lowered.

Venus frowned instantly.

"Sober up! I'll arrange for a press conference immediately.Your life will be finished if the truth is leaked!"

She cast a glance at the unconscious Edgar on the bed and added, "Keep an eye on him.We can't let
him leave this room: With that, she closed the door with a bang and left, leaving Sherry and Edgar in
the room.

Sherry walked barefoot to the bedside.

Gazing at Edgar's face, she uttered, "How unfortunate, Mr.Royden.Your fiancée might be dead in the
ocean by now: Due to jet lag, Jean was not tired at all when night fell.She stared alertly at the man until
the latter was awakened by a sudden rocking of the cruise.

He covered his chest with one hand and moaned in pain.

Jean quickly grabbed a broom as she observed his reaction.

The goons chasing after him had been searching for him outside for the past two hours.

"I'm still alive?"

His face was as white as a sheet.



He stared fixedly at Jean with his dark blue eyes for a while before he wore a handsome smile and
said, "You saved me? "I didn't intend to save you.I just don't want someone to die in my room before
we disembark tomorrow morning.

You may leave now.

That was all that Jean could do.

The man's eyes were as clear as the stream.

He nodded and propped his hand on the shelf beside him to stand up slowly.

"I understand you're worried I'm a bad guy.Don't worry, I won't cause you trouble.I'm not that kind of
person"

Then, he stood upright and gave Jean the most prestigious salute in his country.

Not only that, he passed a small gold token to her and said, "We might not meet again after the ship
docks.If fate allows us to meet again, I'll repay your kindness’

With that, he opened the door and walked out.

After he left, Jean locked the door immediately and placed her ear at the door.

Silence was restored in the aisle, and she could only hear the sound of waves hitting the cruise ship.

Relieved, she looked down at the gold token and closed her palm.

The next morning, the cruise landed at around 5 A.M.

Jean disembarked along with the other passengers.



She only had one agenda - to find Gigi and ensure she was safe.

Even if Gigi insisted on staying here, she planned to give her a sum of money, thus wiping the slate
clean.

"Miss, do you need cab service?"

"Hello.."

Many local drivers were accosting the tourists at the jetty, but they didn't seem to be licensed service
providers.

As Jean continued walking, someone grabbed her wrist from the back all of a sudden and dashed
forward while a few goons chased after them from behind.

"Stop there!"

Jean almost lost her balance and fell.

She struggled and yelled, "Let go of me!"

The person who grabbed her wrist was Charles Rothschild, the man who hid in her room on the ship.

"Those men are coming after you." He yelled.

"What?"

Before Jean could realize what was happening, the sound of a gunshot from behind freaked her
out.She would have fallen into the sea if Charles wasn't holding her.

"Get into the car in front!"



Charles blurted and ran even quicker.

Jean nearly couldn't catch up with him.

Who are the people chasing after me? Are they the police? No way.

When I contacted Officer Bunnings on the cruise, he didn't know I had gone abroad.

"Run faster! Those people are cold-blooded.You're gonna lose your life if you don't speed up!"

Charles wasn't scaring Jean.

Just then, the sound of gunshots came forth again.

The goons were still chasing after them relentlessly.

"Quickly..."

Jean was drenched in sweat by the time she got into the car, and Charles squeezed into the car too.

The goons were left behind and didn't manage to catch up with them.

"I knew you would come to pick me up."

Charles greeted the driver and turned to realize Jean was vigilantly staring at him.

"How did you know those guys were coming after me? I saved you twice.If you dare to harm me, I'll not
let you off."

Jean kept her guard up as she continued staring at Charles.

"Let me out of the car immediately"



"Please don't get the wrong idea.I'm really helping you.Those guys are not the ones searching for me
on the cruise.You didn't hear any gunshots on the ship last night, did you?"

Indeed.

And the wound on his body was caused by a knife...

Despite that, Jean was still suspicious.

"Please send me to the embassy."

Charles nodded with both his hands up in the air.

"Sure, no problem: The car turned into an alley.After a while, Charles showed Jean the way through the
window.

"Turn left in front, and you'll see the embassy.I won't go with you."

"Why?"

Jean came to a sudden realization as soon as she asked the question.

This young guy is probably a criminal.

"I hope we never meet again."

Jean shoved the gold token back to Charles and strode toward the embassy.

The driver uttered, "Mr.Charles, Mr.Rothschild has been urging you to go home numerous times.It's
time to go back."

Charles gazed at Jean in fascination as she left.



"I know.He must be rushing me to get married again"

Narrowing his alluring eyes, he mumbled, "I wonder if our house will be merrier if I marry a woman with
a unique temper like her."

The driver remained silent as he didn't know how to answer.

Charles was born into an honorable family, so only a princess or someone from an equally wealthy
family would be in his league.

Although Jean was good- looking, the driver reckoned her family background couldn't possibly hold a
candle to the Rothschild family.

"Send someone to get rid of the goons chasing after her just now.I don't wish my friend to be harmed."

Closing his eyes, Charles leaned backward and ordered.

"Yes, Mr.Charles."

Meanwhile, Jean submitted the documents to the embassy and clarified her identity.She only had a
simple request for the staff — to help her find the address.

"Ms.Eyer, we verified the address.The hotel exists, but the person you mentioned is not on their guest
list.Could you have made a mistake?"

"That's unlikely..."

Suddenly, she recalled she forgot to switch on her phone because she left the cruise in a hurry and
was dragged away right after.

"I'll help you to check the places she went to after arriving here."



"Thank you! I'll ask around too."

Jean quickly switched on her phone.

A few messages from an unknown number flooded in.

Her brows knitted as she read the messages.

‘Ms.Eyer, this is Joseph Bunnings.Please contact my private number immediately after getting off the
ship: ‘Ms.

Eyer, are you safe?’ Just as Jean was about to reply to the message, a news notification popped up.

‘Ms.Summer, the daughter of an MNC owner, was sexually assaulted in a hotel.

The case is currently under investigation
