Chapter 342: The One Who Saved You is Cheyenne
Abbie's unusual actions left both of them puzzled. Abbie clenched her trembling hands, shooting anannoyed glance at Cheyenne.
"What's so funny?" she demanded.
Cheyenne shifted her gaze to Kelvin, her fair face unexpectedly serious. "Is the kidnapping youmentioned eight years ago on a luxurious cruise in South Bay?"
As the words fell, Kelvin's pupils trembled, his large hand gripping the glass tightly, voice rising,"How do you know?"
In Abbie's mind, a dirty little face suddenly appeared, a girl wearing tacky leopard print leggings withexaggerated pink bubble flowers on her head.
No! How could this be possible?
Cheyenne, could she be...
Soon, a certain voice confirmed her worst fear. "How do I know? Because I was the one who savedyou back then!"
"Kelvin, she's lying! It's not her! I'm the one who saved you!" Abbie's sharp, high-pitched roarechoed through the entire corridor.
Her face flushed, she angrily stepped out of the maid's embrace, her voice full of energy, showingno signs of any "episode."
Kelvin quickly realized this, his handsome face turning pale.
Cheyenne, with an unusually calm expression, glanced at Abbie. Half-closed almond eyesconcealed a trace of coldness.
"I'm a fraud? Well, Miss Berry, why don't you tell me the name of the cruise ship back then? Themastermind of your kidnapping, what nationality was he? What was his name? How old? And howdid you save Kelvin?"
Her series of questions left Abbie speechless. She lowered her head, avoiding eye contact.
After hesitating for a while, she stammered in response, "It's been so many years. How could Iremember so clearly? When Kelvin and I were kidnapped, I took the opportunity while they wereasleep to escape with him."
Hearing her explanation, Cheyenne felt something was amiss and retorted on the spot, "Asleep?There were eight people taking turns guarding, day and night. How could they possibly be asleep?"
"Since Miss Berry can't answer, let me tell you. The ship was a Briyran cruise ship named Mary No.1. The one who kidnapped you was Mr. Paul, 43 years old at the time, a member of the Cluiciangang."
As she spoke, the glass in Kelvin's hand shattered.
Milk spilled all over, staining his black pajamas. His hand was cut by the shards, and blood oozed.
Red and white liquids mixed together, creating a vibrant spectacle.
Cheyenne glanced at his hand and continued, "It's quite a coincidence. When I was thirteen, I wasso hungry that I hid in a box and accidentally ended up on the cruise ship."
"Then, I met a kidnapped little girl and found my way to the underground warehouse where theywere holding you."
"To rescue them, I used a precious sleeping potion to knock Paul out, sneaked into the cabin, andtriggered the ship's alarm to alert the coast guard."
"I still remember, there were a total of sixteen people imprisoned, nine boys and seven girls. One ofthem, a girl in a red dress, had a high fever. Mr. Paul wanted to throw her into the sea."
What Cheyenne said matched exactly with what Kelvin later investigated. He had just turnedeighteen at that time and fell into the enemy's trap, leading to his abduction.
The Foley family was demanded one hundred million initially, and old Mr. Foley had prepared themoney. Later, for some reason, it suddenly changed to ten billion, or they would kill Kelvin.
With a mocking and gloating tone, Cheyenne's voice echoed in his ears, "Kelvin, guess how sheanswered?"
"That young girl really opened my eyes. She told Mr. Paul that she was the future Mrs. Foley. Andthe unconscious young man in the black shirt was the only heir of the Foley family, worth trillions."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I have to praise her for being clever. Mr. Paul believed her, so she bought me sometime. I have to say, that damn HRE system was really hard to crack."
She was thirteen at the time, having just learned programming not long ago. The old-fashionedBriyran Royal Navigation System was considered intermediate difficulty for her.
It took some time.
"No wonder!"
Old Mr. Foley's voice suddenly rang behind the three of them, startling everyone. Abbie's legs wentweak.
A black figure leaned on a cane and walked slowly towards them. His gaze was cold, and thetemperature around them dropped several degrees.
"I thought Kelvin always defended you because you grew up together. Turns out, you used this so-called lifesaving grace to morally bind him for eight years!"
"Back then, Kelvin's identity hadn't been revealed. Everyone only knew him as an unpopular heir ofa wealthy family. But Mr. Paul insisted that if Kelvin was dead, and the Foley family would befinished. And it was all because of you!"
How could Abbie have the audacity to stand by his side for eight years under the guise of a"lifesaving benefactor"?
"Kelvin, you have to listen to my explanation. All of this was Cheyenne's fabrication. She was onlythirteen back then, how could she possibly..."
"Yes, if Miss Berry still doesn't admit, I have another piece of evidence. The one who rescued youwas the deputy director of the Coast Guard at that time. His name is Jedidiah Waters. He personallyreceived me. Grandfather and Mr. Foley can go ask him about the details."
Jedidiah was now the head of the national security department. The sensational kidnapping caseback then earned him great merit, leading to his promotion to Onistead.
He had always been grateful to Cheyenne. Later, he even sent her a military enlistment invitation,begging her to join the Geographical Navigation Research and Development Laboratory.
It was military-related, and naturally, it required physical training like any other soldier.
At that time, she thought her arms and legs were too delicate, afraid of pushing herself too hard, soshe declined Jedidiah's kind offer.
Kelvin naturally knew Jedidiah; he had shared a meal with him and expressed his thanks in person.
Jedidiah was drunk at the time and said a confusing remark, "Kelvin, don't be polite. It's actuallythanks to someone else. That girl made me take notice, why isn't she my child, alas!"
He thought Jedidiah was referring to Abbie... little did he know, it was Cheyenne!
If Cheyenne was the one who saved Kelvin, then Abbie had never been in the water, so how didshe contract her illness?
There was only one possibility. Her illness was faked!
Kelvin let the blood flow freely from his hand, his face almost pale with a tinge of blue. Deepremorse and regret etched his profound features.
His voice hoarse, he spoke, "Cheyenne, I'm sorry!"
For eight years, he had mistaken Abbie for his life saver.novelbin
In the five years of knowing her, he deeply wounded Cheyenne.
In three years of marriage, he had eroded away Cheyenne's pride as a sinner with his own hands!
