Chapter 288 Western Sea Trestle (Part One)

When Mary came to, the first thing she heard was the roaring waves. Her hands were tightly bound to a pillar behind her. The trestle seemed to vibrate with each wave, making her legs shake in pure terror.

She was at the church, just hours ago, trying to take off her wedding dress when someone had come from behind, covering her nose and mouth and making her lose consciousness. When she had woken up, she was already tied. The cloth covering her mouth suddenly made her breathing heavy.

What was even more horrible was that she was surrounded by a dozen or so men, clad in black suits. They were all watching Mary with full concentration, no one moving a muscle. ‘What are they waiting for? Are they going to kill me?’

Dark thoughts clouded her head as she struggled to breathe.

"Young lord!"

Out of the blue, a car swerved into the vision and a tall man stepped out. All the guards started bowing as he strode towards her.

Mary was taken aback as they addressed the man in a different language. 'Are they from Japan?'

She was lost in thought when the man had already walked up to her. As she raised her head, Mary was met with a handsome face staring back. His features were so striking, she couldn't look away.

"Miss

liam answered in a low voice, winking at the others.

Click!

The call ended.

"Ray's watch doesn't show Western Sea Trestle," Aisha spoke in a grim tone. "They want to kill you, don't they?" Archer nodded, looking down. "They don’t know we have set out, so they deliberately told you the wrong location.

You know it’s a trap, right?" "I don’t care even if it is," William said, panicking. "I didn't hear Mary's voice. The guy only spoke about the three kids.

Do you think she's at Western Sea Trestle?" "That makes sense, but what if she’s not there?" Barry said, "Would you risk going there alone?

That would be reckless!"

William's eyes darkened. "I have to. There is no other way. The worst that can happen is something that might happen to me, but you can still save Mary and the kids."

"But..." "All right."

William was resolute in his decision. As he stepped out of the car, he turned around to address Barry. "Promise me that you will take care of Mary if something happens to me. No matter what it takes." "Hey!" Aisha cut in, "Don’t be so pessimistic, okay? We are still one step ahead of them.

When you reach there, try your best to stall them. Buy us some time until we can come to help you." "Okay."
