NovelFinishOnce His Wife, Now His Rival 235 Chapter 235 Arrested A helicopter awaited on the third-level deck-a detail Ethan had noted earlier for their escape.
"Head to the roof!" he said to Brenna. "We're using the helicopter to leave." Jayceon and Ernst quickly helped their companions into the helicopter, with Brenna climbing in after them. Ethan was the last on the deck, still maintaining his grip on Jade.
Unexpectedly, Jade's combat training kicked in.
Distracted by a look towards Brenna, Ethan felt Jade twist his wrist, forcing his gun to drop loudly onto the deck.
Before he could react, Jade had another gun pressed against his head.
"Step off the helicopter now!" Jade's command cut through the air, her remaining guards rushing away to get guns.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBrenna acted instinctively, her shot hitting Jade's arm, which was wielding the gun, causing Jade to walk away from Ethan and seek cover.
Ethan leaped into the helicopter quickly.
When the boarding team reached the third deck, the guards reappeared, armed and ready. However, they were swiftly overpowered by a barrage of gunfire by the team, their bodies falling almost immediately. Blood spread beneath the dead bodies.
"Useless!" Jade snarled at her fallen guards, labeling them as incompetent.
Ignoring her wound, she sprinted to the railing and jumped, wanting to plunge into the sea to flee. She knew she would be put in jail for a lifetif the narcotics stash on the yacht were discovered. However, divers in black had already secured the second deck, stopping her escape. Trapped, she yelled at Ethan, "I saved your life, and this is how you repay me?" Everyone on the chopper were confused-there was not even a ship or boat for miles, yet special forces had chere.
One diver removed his mask and said, "All clear now. Cdown." Brenna was the first to jump down from the helicopter, her mind racing with confusion over the situation.
The others followed, equally stunned by the sudden military intervention.
On the deck, Jade relentlessly threw curses, firmly convinced of Ethan's betrayal.
The soldiers' respectful treatment of the others only deepened her frustration, especially in stark contrast to 18:16 Chapter 235 Arrested the rough arrest she had endured. They should all be suspects here, yet only she was treated this way. This pointed her toward a grim realization that one of them-Ethan, Jayceon, or Ernst must have been the one who had reported her.
She didn't suspect Brenna because Brenna had had no idea that she was going to be here before. "How foolish I was to save you in Norview!" Jade said to Ethan.
Jade's tone beceven more venomous as she was handcuffed. "You'll regret this. The Ward family won't let this go." On the deck, crew members pulled up dark parcels, more than a hundred black and blue packages, each weighing more than five kilos. Uniformed troops lined them up methodically.
Ethan watched the officers as they counted the stash, noticing the glances from sof the higher-ups toward his group. It was obvious they were considering what to do with them.
For Ethan, the situation was disastrous. His association with such a massive amount of illegal goods left him without any believable excuse.
The idea of Brenna being dragged into this was intolerable, filling him with a deep sense of remorse. He regretted bring her over this time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe attempted to call for help, reaching for his phone, but a corporal snatched it away quickly.
"This is on me," Ethan whispered to Brenna, crafting a story in his mind where Brenna was innocent, unaware of anything. He resolved to take all the blame. Before long, a military cruiser appeared on the horizon, accompanied by helicopters hovering overhead, their machine guns aimed at them.
"We're cooked," Jayceon whispered under his breath.
Ernst's face also turned dark. "With all that product? There's no way they'll believe we didn't know anything about it."
"And Jade even showed us sdrug samples earlier in the cabin Jayceon said grimly. "The security footage will reveal everything. Looks like we're all heading to prison." Ernst said, his concern growing, "Maybe we will even get a death sentence." A soldier approached them, clipboard in hand. "Everyone, followfor questioning," he said.
Ernst, Jayceon, and Ethan shared a look filled with unease.
Trailing slightly behind them, Brenna mentally rehearsed her defensem knowing how unbelievable it would sound: Would she be able to convince the interrogators? As they walked, Ethan leaned closer to Brenna, his voice urgent. "Stick to one story-you only cfor the barbecue. Nothing more." 100.0%
