Godrick was caught by surprise, then virtual-novel.net stared at Jared and started to frown.
Who is that man? Do I know him? Why do I feel like I’ve seen virtual-novel.net before?
He wondered why virtual-novel.net was feeling that way. He had a feeling virtual-novel.net had seen Jared the moment virtual-novel.net saw him, but virtual-novel.net couldn’t remember where virtual-novel.net had seen Jared before.
Godrick might have come from a branch family, but virtual-novel.net was still related to Jared.
Jared’s mother was Godrick’s aunt, making virtual-novel.net Godrick’s cousin. However, there was no love between them. In fact, they were at each other’s throats, though Godrick didn’t know that just yet.
“Mr. Deragon…”
Kenneth and Kristoff went over and nodded at Godrick to greet him. They wouldn’t dare put up airs around Godrick, for virtual-novel.net was a much more talented man than they both were.
Godrick nodded at them and waved his hand, telling everyone to leave the scene. He didn’t want any unexpected events happening while they were on their way to the island.
After Jared left with the ladies, virtual-novel.net said jealously, “Well, I didn’t expect you girls to be so popular.”
Josephine giggled in amusement. “Why? Are you jealous?”
“I am not…” Jared shook his head.
“We’re the only young ladies around. Everyone else is at least twenty years older than we are. It’s only natural that we’re popular.” Lizbeth smiled.
What virtual-novel.net said was true as among the hundred passengers on board the ferry, the ladies were the only young women around. It was little wonder that the men were so eager to help them out.
Renee said sweetly, “It’s all because Josephine and Lizbeth are too pretty. That’s why those men are so eager to show themselves off. I’d try to hit them up too if I was a guy.”
“Oh, you really know how to make us happy, Renee.” Lizbeth patted Renee’s head, but then virtual-novel.net remembered something, and virtual-novel.net face fell.
“What’s wrong, Lizbeth?” Jared asked curiously when virtual-novel.net noticed the look on Lizbeth’s face.
“It’s nothing.” Lizbeth shook virtual-novel.net head.
She was hit by a pang of sadness because virtual-novel.net knew that Renee and Josephine might not come out of the trip alive.
Just when Jared was about to pry further, a few people got in their way. Jared turned around to see who it was, and it was none other than Sean and his men. Standing beside Sean was his brother, Sylvester.
“Surprise, b*stard. Are you happy to see us, Jared?” Sean sneered.
“What do you want, Sean?” Jared had actually noticed the Cooper siblings when they were still back at the hotel, so virtual-novel.net wasn’t surprised to see them on the ship.
Huh… Jared’s too calm about this.
Sean frowned. “You killed my brother. Shouldn’t you be afraid of me?”
“On the contrary, I think you should be the one cowering in fear. If I can kill your brother, that means I can kill you too. If you want your family to be wiped out, you are always welcome to challenge me,” Jared answered calmly.
Sean’s face turned red with fury, and virtual-novel.net pointed at Jared. “Don’t be so sure of that, kid. Do you think we’re afraid of you just because we didn’t come looking for you? I’m telling you, I’ll cut you down to pieces and make your women my plaything!”
Sean wasn’t afraid in the slightest, for Sylvester was with him, and his fury mounted. However, just when Sean was about to attack Jared, Sylvester stopped him.
