Chapter 686
Keira Olsen’s body suddenly stiffened, her gaze fixated intently ahead.
Almost without any hesitation, she was ready to jump off the boat to rescue the person.
But in the next moment, her hand was tightly grasped by Lewis Horton. Keira turned to look at Lewis, her eyes filled with urgency: “Aren’t we going to save them p>
Lewis shook his head: “They’re all state officials. We can’t make a rash move p>
Keira furrowed her brows.
Erin South Martin immediately sneered from behind: “Weren’t you so sure just now? Look what happened! Such an idiot p>
This made Keira turn around sharply to look at her.
Erin met Keira’s gaze, and immediately felt a bit intimidated: “What, what are you doing? Do you suspect me p>
Keira continued to stare at her intensely, questioning: “If not you, then who could it be p>
Erin suddenly lifted her chin, a defiant look in her eyes: “Right, it was me! We’re naturally enemies anyway, what’s wrong with me confronting you? We’re all contenders for the South Family’s heiress title, why did you believe me so easily p>
Having said that, Erin’s hand moved straight toward her pocket.
Keira’s pupils shrank, and instinctively, she clenched a silver needle between her fingers, ready to control Erin with a prick if she dared to fire a gun at this close range.
But in the next moment, Erin pulled out a silver pistol and placed it in Keira’s hand, pressing the barrel against her own head: “Come on, why don’t you kill me p>
Keira: p>
Erin glared at her, somewhat angrily, “You suspect me, right? Killing me would be your best option p>
Keira: p>
“Do you think there are no bullets in this gun p>
Erin took out the gun and fired a shot at the side.
The gun was fitted with a silencer, so it didn’t make much noise, but the bullet pierced through the boat’s deck, clearly showing the gun was real.
Erin looked at her indignantly: “Shoot then p>
Keira: p>
She took a deep breath: “You insisted on coming along, and now that something has happened, am I the first to suspect you have a problem p>
“No problem at all! So go ahead and kill me p>
Erin acted like a wife unjustly suspected by her husband, utterly unreasonable.
Keira frowned deeply: “Enough p>
Erin immediately dared not make a fuss anymore, but still pouted, looking away resentfully, “Too much, really too much p>
Keira: p>
She had no desire to talk any further with Erin and instead looked toward the shore.
Lewis furrowed his brows.
From this distance, they couldn’t hear the conversation on the shore, but they could see the car being stopped, and the Crera officials rushing in front of the car, which forced the people inside to get out.
Then the individuals from the car raised their hands and were restrained and taken away by the officials.
Keira: p>
She inhaled deeply, “Are we just going to watch p>
Lewis explained: “You see about forty or fifty people, but they’ve known about this for a long time and probably have no less than five hundred people lying in ambush. The moment we disembark, we would be immediately arrested p>
Keira’s heart was racing, but seeing the deep furrow in Lewis’s brow, she refrained from urging him.
Professor Brandt is a valuable scientist in any country. Even if Crera were to capture him and take him back, his life wouldn’t be in danger.
There was no need to worry about his safety.
However p>
“If Professor Brandt can’t return to Crera, how will Keira Olsen clear her name?” Erin South Martin spoke up directly: “If I were you and truly cared for her, even if there were ten thousand people on shore, I would still charge over to rescue him p>
Lewis then looked at Erin: “Then why don’t you go p>
Erin was taken aback, and then huffed: “I’m not her husband p>
Lewis: p>
He looked toward the bow and commanded the captain: “Return p>
“Yes p>
The boat quietly started and sailed back towards Crera.
Keira looked towards the distance with furrowed brows, as the distance from those people increased p>
Erin couldn’t help but complain incessantly: “Everything sounded so good when we came, what about plan 2, plan B? And now, we’re just slinking back p>
After speaking, she snorted again: “Useless p>
“Keira Olsen, what do you need such a man for? While you’re still unattached, you should break it off quickly p>
Neither Keira nor Lewis paid any attention to her.
Erin, still fuming, took out some snacks and began to munch on them forcefully.
But still unsatisfied, she looked at them again: “Keira Olsen, aren’t you anxious? With Brandt captured, it will be too difficult for him to return! At least for the next half a year or year, it won’t be possible! Without his return, your reputation will remain tarnished p>
Keira: I’m not anxious, what are you anxious about p>
Erin was choked.
Lewis added beside them: “This is like the emperor not being in a hurry, but the eunuch is panicking p>
Erin:?
She retorted flailing: “You’re the eunuch, you’re the eunuch p>
After finishing, she crossed her arms and looked to the side, but after a while, she couldn’t help but turn her gaze back to them: “What do we do now p>
Keira glanced at Lewis.
The boat was already far from Crera, but Lewis’s expression was becoming increasingly calm.
She inquired: “Is your plan B going smoothly p>
Upon hearing this, Lewis chuckled softly: “I really can’t hide anything from you p>
