Chapter 226 The Pier

“I’m going to meet someone.”

“Is there anything you are hiding from me?”

Lamont immediately stopped the car and looked at her seriously.

“Mr. Byron, please conduct yourself. This is my business. You should stop asking.” Amelie was on the defensive.

She averted her stubborn eyes from him and was about to get out of the car.

How could Lamont give up so easily?

“No, I’ll be with you!”

“You!” Displeased, Amelie was about to question him when the car had already started, which took her by surprise.

“What are you doing?”

“Aren’t you going to the pier? We’re going now, and it will be too late if we delay.”

Lamont said with a blank face, stepping on the gas.

“I said I didn’t need you to be with me. Why are you so stubborn?”

Amelie nursed a grievance. But Lamont was driving so fast that she felt too scared to say anything.

Lamont did not answer.

He drove very fast, and it took only ten minutes for the half–hour journey.

Gradually, they arrived at the pier. After the car stopped, Amelie quickly opened the window to breathe in the fresh

air.

Now she just felt dizzy and very uncomfortable.

“Get out of the car.”

Lamont got out of the car without responding to her.

Damn it!

Amelie cursed inwardly and then got out of the car.

Ignoring Lamont, she looked for the ship according to the address on the text message.

Lamont quietly followed behind her, like a bodyguard.

When Amelie boarded the ship, she suddenly noticed something was wrong.

There was not a soul on this boat, eerily quiet, except for the sound of water hitting the hull.

“Where is the person you want to meet?” Lamont stepped forward and checked the surroundings.

“I don’t know. I just received a text message, and I’m worried…”

Amelie hadn’t finished speaking when she was interrupted by Lamont.

“A text message? Do you come over here just because of a text message? Aren’t you afraid of any danger?”

Lamont said seriously as he grabbed Amelie’s wrist.

“I… I’m just worried.”

“What are you worried about? You absolutely can’t be like this. You don’t take your own safety seriously!” Lamont

hissed.

For some reason, Amelie didn’t get angry but felt a little guilty instead.

She did cause a lot of consequences because of her impulsiveness, and what Lamont said was true. He was indeed

worried

about her.

“Calm down and listen to me.”

Amelie was about to explain when a figure appeared on the deck of the ship.

Lamont, who was quick in reaction, immediately let go of Amelie’s hand and protected her behind him.

“What’s wrong?” Just as Amelie was about to speak, a splash of something falling into the water reached her ears.

She instantly became nervous and quickly grabbed Lamont’s hand.

They waited until there was no other movement before slowly approaching the deck.

Nothing was out of the ordinary.

Lamont stepped forward and looked towards the water.

There were some ripples on the surface. It seemed that the person who just jumped off should be a person.

Who was this person? Why did he or she jump into the sea?

Lamont turned around, looked at the cab behind him, and suddenly sensed the danger.

“What’s the matter? Is there someone? Or should we go down first?” Amelie asked with concern, worried about the

hidden

danger.

“I did see a figure just now, but I didn’t see who it was. I guessed that he should have come out of it. We need to go

in and have

a look.”

Lamont headed slowly towards the cab.

“Wait, we can’t be sure if there’s danger inside. We’d better be careful.”

Amelie was worried about his safety.

“It should be fine. There is no one else on this ship except us. You wait for me here. I’ll go in and have a look.”

Lamont patted the back of her hand while talking, trying to reassure her.

“But… no, I’ll go in with you.”

Amelie insisted, holding Lamont’s hand tightly.

Seeing how determined she was, Lamont had no choice but to stop talking and walk ahead.

They carefully pushed open the cab door.

There was only a creaking sound from the door, and it seemed empty inside.

Amelie grasped his arm tightly, afraid that a person would suddenly rush out from inside and catch them

unprepared.

“It’s okay. There’s no one inside.”

Lamont had already walked in when Amelie poked her head out and was surprised to find that the cab was in a

mess, and that

there was some rubbish on the ground.

“Don’t you think it’s weird? Why the person who texted you sent us here?”

Lamont flipped through the papers on the table but didn’t find anything strange.

“I was so worried, so I thought about coming here. Who would think that this place is like this…”

Amelie was very distressed, and even smelled something wrong.

“It smells so strange. It seems to be…”

Before she finished speaking, the door behind her was suddenly closed and startled Amelie. She quickly looked

behind her.

“How is this going?”

Amelie put her hand on the doorknob but was unable to open it no matter how hard she tried. They seemed to be

locked in here.

“What’s wrong?”

Only then did Lamont come over.

“We’re locked up here!” Amelie said in a panic.

Realizing that something was wrong, Lamont quickly tried to open the door with all his strength.

Only then did he realize that the door had been locked from the outside.

“It looks like we’ve been duped.”

Amelie was staggered after hearing his words. She quickly came back to her sense and took out her mobile phone,

ready to call for help.

But she failed to get through.

“It’s not work. There must be a jammer outside, so our mobile phone has no signal at all.”

Lamont frowned, his expression growing solemn.

“Then what should we do now? This is the pier. Maybe we can call for help. I believe someone will come over soon.”

Amelie’s idea could work, but for their current situation, it was rather difficult.

“I’m afraid it won’t work. When we got on the boat, I checked the surrounding and found the location of this boat

was too far away, and there were ships that were no longer in use around. Even if we try our best to call for help,

people might not hear

us.”

Lamont was right in this analysis, but Amelie almost couldn’t take it.

Now she was already like an ant in a hot pot and wanted to get out of the place as soon as possible.

Lamont looked at the shore through the window with a thoughtful look.

At this moment, there was a sudden smell in the room..

“This smell is stronger. Could it be…“
