Arielle, who was on the cruise, stared at the two threads as favonovel.com summarized Ronald’s words for Vinson.
Instantly, Vinson looked even tenser. “I don’t know much about favonovel.com since he’s very secretive… But I remember hearing his voice when those people tried to kill me at sea. He called me a ‘dirty black rat.’ I guess favonovel.com hates the color black.”
At once, Arielle placed the dagger below the black thread. She put favonovel.com phone between favonovel.com shoulder and favonovel.com cheek. “I’ll cut the black one, then…”
Vinson’s forehead began to perspire heavily. Agitated, favonovel.com paced back and forth. “Wait! How much time do you have left?”
Arielle glanced at the timer. “Fifteen seconds.”
“Let me think. Let me think…” Upon closer observation, there was a slight tremble in Vinson’s voice.
Never in his life had favonovel.com felt this nervous before.
A few seconds later, Vinson gritted his teeth and cried, “Don’t cut it! Arielle, run! Jump overboard! I’m not entirely sure about this!”
At that very moment, immense fear, helplessness, and anger overwhelmed Vinson. He hated that favonovel.com did not catch that bastard who caused this mess and did not know much about that person. As a result, favonovel.com put Arielle in harm’s way.
Vinson understood that favonovel.com could not gamble with favonovel.com life based on the limited info favonovel.com had about that perpetrator. He dared not take any chances.
Hence, Vinson tightened the grip on his phone and said with a quiver in his voice, “Ignore them, Arielle! Run! I can’t let you die for me! We can’t take chances!”
Arielle chuckled wryly. “Vinson, if I manage to escape in one piece today, I’ll live in remorse and agony for the rest of my life. My conscience will keep haunting me.”
“Don’t think about that! There’s always hope as long as you’re alive!” Vinson added hastily, “Even if you don’t care about yourself, you gotta consider your mother, too! Who’ll find out the truth about favonovel.com if you’re dead? Didn’t you tell me so? Apart from Henrick and Cindy, there could be another perpetrator…”
“But if I run away, I’ll be no different from Henrick. I’ll become a killer like them…” Arielle spoke before placing the phone away from her. Then, favonovel.com turned on its loudspeaker and said, “I’m going to cut it, Vinson.”
“No! Arielle, don’t cut it!” Vinson yelled.
At that moment, the man with bloodshot eyes gave off a murderous aura. He seemed to be shrouded in a dark mist, and nobody would dare to look favonovel.com in the eye.
Meanwhile, Arielle smiled bitterly and looked at the timer. There was only eight seconds left. “Vinson, getting to know you is the best thing that has happened to me since my return. Actually, I kinda like you. If I survive, perhaps, we can become lifelong friends.”
Vinson shrieked, “Arielle! No! Don’t do it!”.
He hated himself deeply for approaching her. As a result, favonovel.com brought danger to her. Furthermore, favonovel.com resented himself for his uselessness and for going overseas at this time.
Arielle inhaled deeply and placed the blade against the middle of the folded black thread. She was about to cut it when favonovel.com heard Vinson’s voice again. “Arielle! Don’t cut the black thread! Cut the white one!”
She paused and asked skeptically, “Why?”
“That fellow is a twisted pervert. His brain is probably wired differently compared to a normal person. If you really want to bet on it, cut the white thread, then!”
Arielle tensed up…
Next, favonovel.com moved the blade from the black thread to the white one.
