Chapter 990 Abducted At Sea

Carla shivered instinctively when she heard that they were going to swim.

She glanced at the water and felt that it would be freezing at this hour. Cold breeze was brushing against her skin. She was scared of even touching the water. Did she really have to do it?

When she turned around, she saw that Steven had already changed his clothes. "Callie, come on, put on this life jacket."

"You guys go. I'll stay here."

Carla frowned when she saw the strange ship approaching them.

"No way! You are coming along with us. We have enough oxygen cylinders here. They will support us until our new ship arrives.'' Steven grabbed the life jacket and helped Carla put it on.

"Victor, Carol! Get off the boat!"

Steven inspected the surroundings. He thought that it was unsafe to wait any longer.

The strange ship was coming closer. Carol and Victor were ready to jump from the side of the ship and hide in the water.

Steven took a deep breath, pulled Carla and they both plunged into the sea.

Carla heard muffled noises when Lucia's men boarded their ship.

"Hurry up! All of you, and search every corner of this boat! Let's make it quick!"

Carlota ordered. She instructed some of her men to get into the boat while the others to poured oil all over it.

"Carlota, there's no one in the boat, '' one of her men said.

"What? How is that possible?" Carlota's eyes widened with disbelief.

She scurried to the cabin in search of them.

She stomped her foot in annoyance when she saw the empty cabin. "That's impossible. I heard they took this boat, '' Carlota grunted and continued to look around.

"Carlota, the tea is still warm. I think they've found out we were coming and left, ''

Carlota's subordinate said as he touched a kettle on the stove.

Carlota walked to the helmsman and grabbed his collar. "Tell me! Where are they?"

"I don't know. Nobody is here. I was asked to give the gifts to Sam, ''

he said, shaking his head innocently. Steven had already instructed him not to disclose their whereabouts.

"Don't you dare fool me! My men had seen her board the ship. Are you going to tell me that she has disappeared in the middle of the sea?" Carlota kicked the helmsman and stared at the quiet sea.

Something was terribly wron

ave come to you.''

Carla smirked and patted Carlota's pale cheek.

"Carol, have you managed to save our helmsman?"

"Yes, ma'am. The rescue team has arrived. They have also brought the spare gifts from Mr. Arthur with them, ''

Carol replied.

Although Carla was unaware of Lucia's sinister moves, her grandfather was smart and experienced to speculate and anticipate Lucia's moves. He was already prepared with another set of gifts, in case Lucia tried to destroy them.

"Look, Carlota. If you behave yourself, I'll think about letting you go when we reach the island. If you don't, I will burn you alive. Just the way you had planned to kill us.''

Carlota shuddered and swallowed in fear.

"Yes ... Yes I will do as you say. Please don't be mad at me. My noble lady, I'm nobody. You don't have to get your hands dirty. I'll do anything. The ship is yours now. Please don't kill me!"

Carlota pleaded as she stretched her hand to her back.

Just when she was about to press the emergency button, Carol grabbed her hand and twisted it, making Carlota yelp in pain.

"Ooowww! It hurts!''

She cried.

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Carol snatched the device that Carlota was secretly using to communicate with someone and threw it into the sea.

"Carol, tie her up! I'm going to take her to the Eastern Island and throw her under Lucia's feet. Let me see how Lucia attends the wedding with a helper looking like this."

Carla sneered with disgust and then went to change into dry clothes.
