Chapter 467
"Wow, Mr. Tudor's actually willing to be a hostage. He must really love Esme."
"Esme can make Mr. Tudor willingly be a hostage for her!"
Everyone was buzzing about how great this love was.
But only Alexander knew what was really going on in his head.
"Alexander," Esme said, her voice trembling. "No. If one of us has to die, I'd rather it be me than you."
Elizabeth gave a bitter smile.
What a romantic couple.
Elizabeth pushed through the crowd and walked in.
Seeing Elizabeth enter, a flash of malice crossed Esme's eyes.
"Are you someone I sent? Why don't I recognize you?" Elizabeth asked, stepping closer.
The girl glared at Elizabeth and warned, "Elizabeth, don't come any closer! If you do, I'll push her down!"
"Go ahead. What does it matter to me?" Elizabeth crossed her arms.
Ivan was about to follow when his phone suddenly rang, and he turned to answer it.
"You two planned this together!" Esme looked like she had figured it all out.
Elizabeth nodded. "Yep. Go ahead and push."
She moved closer again.
The girl was pushing Esme.
Esme's waist bent backward.
The wind blew her long hair, and her dress showed off her perfect figure.
As night fell, with Elizabeth's approach, the tension rose.
Everyone was on edge, sensing something was off.
Could it be that Elizabeth really wanted to kill Esme?
This scene really did look like the two were in cahoots.
"Don't come any closer," the girl pointed at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth smiled. "Didn't you say I sent you to kill her? Go ahead. Why are you hesitating? I even showed up to help you. If you really push her down, it won't be you who gets caught, but me. What are you afraid of?"
Elizabeth's voice was cold, and combined with her indifferent demeanor, it created a unique scene on the deck.
Elizabeth glanced at the sea several times.
Her heart was racing, but she stayed calm.
"Fine, you want me to push? I'll do it!" The girl's voice trembled, and she even looked at Esme's face.
She wasn't sent by Elizabeth but was hired by Esme to act!
Esme didn't tell her to push.
Could she really push?
Esme became even more anxious.
Her plan was for Alexander to save her, and then the girl would turn around and tie up Elizabeth, pushing Elizabeth down.
But Alexander didn't save her! This made her plan completely fall apart.
"Alexander, save me!" Esme pleaded again.
Alexander was betting that this was all fake and that Esme had deliberately set up Elizabeth and wouldn't be pushed down!
Esme sensed the doubt in Alexander's eyes.
To win over Alexander, it might all come down to this chance.
Thinking of this, Esme looked back.
The waves were like giant sharks, and if a person fell in, they would be as small as a needle.
What should she do?
To gain Alexander and only a one percent chance of survival, what should Esme choose?
"So, it's all fake," Alexander said, looking at Esme.
Esme knew that Alexander might have figured something out.
She had no choice.
In just a second, Esme let out a scream and flipped over the railing.
"Oh my God!" The whole crowd erupted.
