Monicaughed at his words, her eyes filled with contempt. “Jared, and what if we don''t give the money back?"


    Jared looked at her twisted, ugly face. How could he have ever thought she was beautiful?


    In this moment, the venomous Monica looked disgusting.


    He was both furious and defiant. "Monica, then the three of us will die here in this ocean together."


    Monica and the man beside her exchanged a look and then burst outughing, as if they''d just heard the world''s funniest joke.


    "Haha..."


    Their wildughter filled the air.


    Then, just as suddenly, it stopped. Monica''s eyes were filled with murderous intent as she said mockingly, "Jared, I only took a few million from you, and you''re chasing me down to kill me. I''ll give you a chance now. Write me a contract stating that the money was a voluntary gift. Once you promise you won''t try to get it back, I''ll spare your life."


    Jared sneered. "And if I don''t?"


    He was going to make this woman pay. As soon as he got back to shore, he would call the police.


    Behind him was the azure sea, breathtakingly beautiful, its shimmering surface captivating.


    Monica sneered back, a murderous resolve forming in her heart. That few million was more money than she could earn in a lifetime.


    She tilted her head back slightly, smiling at Jared.


    "Jared, then I''m afraid you''ll have to be the one to die today. I never liked you anyway. I was only after your money. If Joanna hadn''t promised me a million to seduce you, I never would have bothered. You''re a fool who was bound to lose everything sooner orter."


    "She transferred the money to me the day before our wedding. Did you really think I''d spend my life with an idiot like you?"


    Jared was stunned by her words. "You''re saying... Joanna told you to seduce me?" Why?


    Why Joanna? He had been so good to her. For her sake, he had even mistreated his own sister to dote on her. And in the end, it was Joanna who had plotted against him.


    Jared felt a pain so sharp he couldn''t breathe. He had considered many possibilities, but he had never imagined it would be Joanna.


    He stumbled backward, grabbing the side of the boat to steady himself.


    Monica''s face was vicious, her gaze filled with the same disdain she''d show an idiot. "Jared, you really are a fool. Of course Joanna didn''t want you to marry Susan. With the White family''s support, she wouldn''t get what she wants. You have no one to me but yourself for what''s happened today. You walked right into it, you idiot. Haha..."


    Jared was utterly shocked. So that was it. That was it.


    He let out a desteugh, his heart aching. So this was the pain of misced trust.


    Joanna didn''t want the Scott family; she wanted the Don family, his mother''spany, and his grandparents'' assets.


    All this time, for that despicable person, he had personally hurt his own sister and mother.


    "Heh..." Jaredughed, a sound full of grief. His face was contorted, his eyes filled with a deep, simmering hatred.


    Seeing his crazedughter, Monica''s brow tightened, her disgust deepening. "Jared, stopughing and deal with the matter at b?nd. The contract for the voluntary gift. Are you going to write it or not?"


    Jared red at them, his eyes murderous. "Monica, even if I die, I''m taking you both with me."


    His crazed look terrified Monica.


    The man beside her grew even more sinister. "Monica, we''re in the middle of the ocean. There are no cameras. If we kill him, we can go live on ind, and no one will ever bother. us again


    If Jared lived, he would cause them endless trouble. Monica''s heart hardened as she nodded. "Alright."


    Jared sneered and kicked Monica squarely in the chest.
