Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 102

Chapter 102 I Really Wanted To Open Up Your Head.

Helena quickly ran over and said, “You just need to investigate Peyton. If that doesn’t work, we can threaten her with Kason, and she will return Chris.”

Nolan stopped in his tracks, and turned around to look at Helena, with an uncertain glimmer in his eyes.

“Nolan, I…”

“Helena, sometimes I really wonder what you were thinking.”

Nolan leaned slightly and lowered his voice in her ear, “If it weren’t for Brodie, I really wanted to split your head open.”

Helena trembled slightly, frightened by Nolan’s gloomy voice. She looked at Nolan with trepidation, only to meet the fury burning in his eyes, as if it could consume everything.

Nolan was on the verge of losing control. He had exerted all his strength to suppress the anger within him.

Nolan did not hide his disgust and anger towards Helena.

“You’d better pray that they are fine, otherwise no one can save Chapman!”

After Nolan left the room, the overwhelming sense of killing gradually dissipated, and even the air became much fresher.

Helena’s back was covered in cold sweat as she slumped weakly in the chair. She thought, “Could it really be that Peyton didn’t take Christ away?”

What happened to Chris?

Nolan stood in front of a map. Lucian analyzed, “There is an archipelago nearby, consisting of over three hundred islands, possibly including some uncharted deserted islands.”

“Exclude the islands with a large population. You should investigate the islands that are treacherous, steep, and lacking in resources. You must be cautious and avoid alarming them. It would be best to use drones for reconnaissance.”

“Okay.”

“Did you extract the fingerprints from the bullet?”

Lucian busily said, “The fingerprints have been extracted. I have also compared them with the fingerprints in the database and have not found any relevant individuals for now.”

“Since we couldn’t find the culprit through fingerprints, why don’t you investigate the bullets and the MK23 handgun? Go to the black market/ and inquire about it, as this type of gun is now very rare.”

“Yes, Mr. Dalton.”

“Interrogate everyone who had contact with the criminals rigorously, to see if any clues can be obtained. Additionally, keep a close eye on the movements of the criminals; if they are after money, I estimate they will appear soon.”

Nolan stared calmly. “I wanted to kill them!”

Nolan thought, “I will make them regret messing with me.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Peyton woke up groggily from her sleep. She suddenly thought of

40 Vouchers

Chris and wondered how he was doing now.

Peyton suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, only to find a dagger pressed against her neck.

“Don’t move,” the person holding the dagger hoarsely reminded.

Peyton realized that she was in a dilapidated small wooden house. She thought that this place should not be far from the seaside, as she could hear the sound of waves crashing against the rocks.

Peyton caught a glimpse of a man dressed in black standing beside her. The blade of a knife was pressed against her neck, sharp and menacing. Chris was not in the room.

Peyton said nervously, “I didn’t move, don’t do anything reckless.”

“What did you jump on the ship for last night?” the man asked persistently.

Peyton did not know the origins of these people.

But Peyton knew they should have a common enemy with her.

“For the sake of this child.”

“From what I know, you were neither the child’s biological mother nor a nanny. Did you really risk everything and jump on the boat for someone else’s child?”

“Someone else’s child?” Peyton sneered coldly. “More accurately, he is the child of my enemy.”

Without waiting for the man to ask further, Peyton continued, “Two years ago, I had a happy family and a loving husband. But then another woman appeared, and she became pregnant with my husband’s

child. One year ago, on a snowy night, she pushed me, who was pregnant, off

the cruise ship.”

“Later on, I lost my child, lost my husband, my father became critically ill and turned into a vegetable, our family went bankrupt, and yet she married my husband and held a first birthday celebration for her child.”

Peyton gritted his teeth in anger. The man never expected that a casual question from him would make Peyton vent his frustrations to him.

“You were…”

Peyton closed her eyes and said, “I was Nolan’s ex–wife.”
