Judith clung to Dylan’s arm at that moment. “Dylan, I just knew you’re the best to me. Maybe starting
tonight, I won’t have any more nightmares. Big bro, thanks.” She leaned into Dylan’s embrace, her lips
curled in a smug smile that Maja could clearly see under the glow of the overhead lights. But it didn’t
matter anymore. If Maja was going to die here tonight, she hoped to never lay eyes on those two again
in her life. The two bodyguards locked the cage, waiting for Dylan’s command. Dylan hesitated. He
often asked himself if what he was doing was right. But he had to protect his family, and Judith was his
family, while Maja would always be an outsider. “Sir, should we set sail to the middle of the river and
then push it over?” one of the bodyguards asked. Dylan opened his mouth but couldn’t issue the
command. Judith saw his hesitation and dramatically leaned back, feigning a faint. This instantly
steeled his resolve. “Do it!” “Roger that!” The bodyguards pushed the cage onto a dinghy, planning to

shore. If they were going to kill her, they wanted to ensure she’d be trapped at the river’s bottom
forever. Watching the dinghy get further away, Dylan felt as if his heart was being lifted by a string,
suspended ever higher. Panic enveloped him like a shroud. He vividly remembered what Augus had
told him as a child. “Your sister is frail. She suffered when she was born. You need to be gentle with
her, understand?” “Father, but what if she does something wrong?” “If she’s family, she can never do
wrong.” “And what if Beck and I mess up?” “You get punished. As older brothers, you should set the
example.” This ironclad rule was etched deep into Dylan’s bones, so over the years, he indulged Judith
unconditionally. No matter the trouble she caused, he always had her back. Even after learning that
Judith wasn’t truly a Sanders, he couldn’t just abandon her. Besides, the truth about Jolin’s incident
was still out there, right? Maybe someone really was trying to drive a wedge between Judith and the
Sanders family. He took a deep breath, forcing himself not to watch the dinghy. When he turned
around, he saw Judith smiling. It was an uncontrollable smile, even though she tried to appear
heartbroken, but it was still obvious. Judith didn’t mean to reveal her feelings, but with Augus
unconscious and Maja as good as dead, who else could stop her from reclaiming her

place in the Sanders family? No one! She would still be the wealthy and influential princess of the
Sanders family. And when Dylan found out Maja’s identity, she could even feign innocence. After all,
Dylan had given the order. He would be the one who killed his own sister. Judith’s smirk grew wider
when she heard Dylan ask, “Judith, are you smiling?” She knew she had to rein it in, but amusement
still glittered in her eyes. “Dylan, I’m not, I swear. It’s just, she finally got what she deserved. I begged
her, and she was so dismissive. It’s all karma.” Her words also convinced Dylan. He patted her on the

chilly out here, and you’re not well.” As Judith turned away, she nearly burst out laughing! Forty
minutes earlier, Herbert had been waiting for Maja’s return. Frowning, he stood up, intent on
descending the stairs to check on her himself. But he found no one on the ground floor. It was eerily
quiet. Arlene followed him down, no longer pretending, her face a mask of cold indifference. Herbert
asked, “Mrs. Sanders, what’s going on here?” “Herbert, your protégée seems to have a little trouble
with Dylan. I guess Dylan wanted to have a word with her in private. Let’s call it a night, shall we? Once
Dylan’s sorted it out, she’ll be sent back.” Herbert had been in North America long enough to have
heard of Dylan’s ways. Dylan, after all, was the boss of a huge corporation and had been raised with
the finest education. He wouldn’t mistreat a woman, but still, Herbert couldn’t help but worry. So he
called Ian. “Kid, Maja’s been taken by Dylan, and I can’t reach her.” That one sentence got Ian on his
feet. He didn’t even wait to hear what Beck had to say next, grabbing his coat and heading downstairs.
