Chapter 1902 Salvation
There were also two young girls and a burly man on the boat.
Elisa knew him as the best swimmer and the most skilled sailor in the village.
Elisa guessed that this was all arranged by Gareth.
If the village chief truly wished to keep an eye on her, he could have simply assigned just anyone to
accompany her. There was no need to send the person with the best swimming skills, who also
happened to be an expert navigator.
Those two little girls were his children.
The two girls gathered around Elisa when they saw that she had regained consciousness. Speaking in
somewhat broken Clusian, they asked, “Are you awake? Are you okay?”
Both girls were fond of Elisa, simply because Elisa was very beautiful.
People were naturally drawn to beauty.
Elisa felt a bit uncomfortable and simply shook her head when faced with the girls' concern.
“I'm fine, I just need some time alone.”

some space to be alone, and left the room.
With trembling hands, Elisa took the envelope. Inside was Gareth's familiar handwriting, a sight she
knew all too well.
The letter read: I'm truly sorry for deceiving you. By the time you read this letter, you'll surely be on the
boat. I understand that you might be angry or upset right now, and I know you're capable enough of
swimming back. But I don't want you to do that. Soran, I'll wait for you to come back and get me. I'll
apologize to you in person, okay?
The name “Soran” was given to her by Mrs. Kella.
When Elisa saw it, her hands were trembling.
Indeed, she had considered swimming back recklessly to confront Gareth about why he had done this.
They had clearly agreed to stick together through thick and thin, so why did he abandon her?
Yet, after reading the letter, Elisa calmed down.
Regardless of whether or not she was the type to vent her emotions, Elisa always weighed the pros
and cons to find the best solution. This was something she always did on principle.
Going back now was clearly not the best outcome.
Thinking of Gareth, Elisa murmured, “You must wait for me to come back and get you. You must.”
Elisa thus made up her mind. It was clear that she required sustenance on board the boat.
Despite having received instructions from Gareth, Fabio was initially a bit worried that Elisa was going
to slip away when he was not paying attention.
Yet, when Fabio saw her behaving like that, he gradually began to feel at ease.
Now, they were facing another critical situation.
The group had been adrift at sea for an unknown number of days now, but one thing was certain—
their food and potable water supplies were almost depleted.
For several days in a row, they have only been eating one meal a day. It was no exaggeration to say
that they were being very frugal with their supplies already.
However, the coastline stretched on endlessly.
Just as they were on the verge of starving to death on the boat, they encountered a large ship.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was a Clusian merchant ship.
Elisa closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh.
We're saved!
After boarding the merchant ship, Elisa was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was one of her own
fleet.
The grand flag of Benett Corporation fluttered in the wind.
Just like that, Elisa had officially established contact with the outside world.
She immediately got in touch with Bella.
At that time, Bella stood in the boardroom, confronting Paul with a relatively neutral tone.
“There are still three days until the shareholders' meeting, so are you calling for it early? Paul, your
wolfish ambition is as clear as day. Are you really so eager to replace Ms. Benett?”
What was said was truly impertinent. The shareholders in attendance hung their heads low, wishing
they could turn into ostriches and bury their heads in the sand.
Paul narrowed his eyes, casting a somewhat dissatisfied glance at Rochelle, seemingly asking why
they had to retain such a troublemaker in the company.
Rochelle was also full of complaints.
Who would have thought? I had Bella start from the bottom just to humiliate her.
