Chapter 123 Me Dear, We Meet Again
Upon being reminded by Officer Jackson, I suddenly realized my mistake and stopped,
reluctantly glancing in the direction of the two men before sitting down with him at the
back
Just as we sat down, the lights on the stage suddenly brightened, and a refined fernale
voice announced, “Dear guests who have traveled from afar, thank you for your patience.
I assure you that tonight will be an enjoyable evening.”
As she spoke, a curvaceous woman with a microphone and a charming smile appeared on
stage.
As the woman finished speaking, the curtain behind her slowly opened.
Meanwhile, whispers started among the audience. I was unaware of what they were
discussing and lacked the patience to listen closely, but Officer Jackson’s expression
darkened.
I looked at him curiously and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
With pursed l*ps, he coldly remarked, “The world is declining.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA few seconds later, I understood. Beauty and wealth had always been closely linked.
Beauty and money sometimes seemed to be interchangeable.
I frowned, feeling uncomfortable, and asked Officer Jackson, “How long do we have to stay
here?”
His brow was deeply furrowed as he scanned the surroundings before replying, “Do you
see any familiar faces?”
I paused, realizing he was asking about Lucas. I shook my head. Since entering, I had not
spotted any trace of him. Even after five years, I would recognize him. It could only mean
he was not here.
Officer Jackson bit his l*p, silent for a moment before looking at me. “He must be here.
Given his nature, he would likely be on the top floor. Try to find a way up there.”
I nodded, glancing at the chaotic scene around us, and said to Officer Jackson, “Can you
handle being here…?” The place was indeed likely to cause one to lose their senses.
Officer Jackson pursed his l*ps, glanced at the drinks on the table, and assured, “Don’t
worry, I haven’t drunk any of this. I’ll be fine.”
Indeed, he was a police officer. His determination and alertness far surpassed mine.
I smiled, gestured toward the upper floors, and indicated 1 would go ahead.
Leaving the hall, I made my way to the rear of the ship. The night had fallen, and the ship
was sailing steadily on the sea
Unsure if Lucas had even attended the party, I could only try to reach the top floor as
Officer Jackson had Instructed.
Before I had gone far, gunshots suddenly rang out from the cabin, sending chills down my
spine.
Instinctively, I turned back to see what was happening.
However, before I could act, someone suddenly dragged me into a dark cabin.
“Hel” Before I could cry for help, a wave of pain surged through me, and I lost
consciousness.
“Ah!” I awoke to cries resembling those of a slaughtered pig.
Opening my eyes, I found myself in a grand, luxurious sea–view cabin. Through the wide
glass windows, I could see the boundless sea, but unfortunately, it was night, and I could

seascape.
“Awake?” A deep, fierce voice sounded beside me.
Startled, I sat up abruptly and faced the magnified handsome face of a man with distinct
features. He had a high nose bridge and wore gold–rimmed glasses. Behind the lenses, his
captivating eyes were looking at me with an almost mocking smile.
“Lucas!” The name I had long forgotten sl*pped out of my mouth. I moved back in shock.
Seeing my reaction, the man in front of me laughed, his already devilishly charming eyes
becoming even more captivating
Looking at me, he said with a growing smile, “My dear Yvette, it seems you have never
forgotten me. My years of concern were worthwhile, after all.”
These words, spoken by anyone else, might have been okay, but coming from him, they
were unbearable. The gentler his words sounded, the more sinister they were
Clutching the bedsheet tightly, fear raging in every cell of my b*dy, I tried to steady my
trembling breath and faced him. “Lucas, you…”
“What? Do you want to ask if I missed you during all these years of separation?” He
interrupted me, his smile still on his face. He seemed even more terrifying.
