Maia was worried when she saw Tess’s weakened state. She tried to struggle out of Theo's grip and get to her.

“Aunt Tess, are you okay?”

Tess just shook her head at Maia as she looked at her. When the two men released her, Tess fell with a loud thud on the deck.

Maia cried out to Tess as she saw her collapse. Even though she was restrained, Maia still tried to get closer to Tess as shecontinued to call out to her so that Tess would stay conscious.

“| didn’t expect you to have such a close relationship with Aunt Tess!” Theo commented with amusement as he smiled at themcruelly.

“Theo, what do you want from us? Don’t forget that Aunt Tess is also your aunt!”

“It doesn’t matter what you say. You won't be leaving here alive!” Theo laughed hysterically. “You’re out of your mind! Do youthink just because you've killed us, you’ll be able to get away with the funds you stole and get a chance to take over thecompany?”

“You're right, but if | don’t kill you, | would lose every chance | get! Besides, who would know if | really did it? | would just throwyou into the sea and there wouldn't be any evidence!” Theo laughed smugly as he continued to polish his gun.

“Theo, how could you do this?” Tess struggled to sit up as she looked at her crazy nephew. She continued weakly, “We’re yourfamily. How could you lay hands on your own family? Don’t you have a conscience?”

“Conscience is worthless! | would do anything to obtain more money! Even if it means murder!” Theo walked closer to Tess andgave her a kick

“Aunt Tess!” Maia shouted as she glared at Theo with hatred.

“Oh, Maia, don’t look at me like that. You’re next anyway!” Theo flashed a twisted smile. Next, he ordered his men to place theminto the large wooden boxes.

“Stop moving, bitch!” Theo knew that he did not have enough time to get away. The only way he could escape now was to useMaia as a hostage.

“Cedric, if you don’t want a bullet hole in Maia’s head, ask your men to stop!” Theo yelled.

The moment Cedric saw him pointing a gun toward Maia’s head, he instructed his men to stop their speedboats as he clenchedhis fists in anger.

Theo smiled in triumph when he noticed the speedboats had stopped approaching them. “I didn’t expect you to love your ex-wifeso dearly! | wonder what's so attractive about my cousin. Was it because she was good in bed?”Baz could no longer continue to listen to Theo’s insolence as he yelled at him through a megaphone. “Theo, you should

surrender! You’re surrounded and can’t escape! Let Ms. Maia go, and we promise not to harm you!”

Theo laughed arrogantly as he replied, “I can’t escape? Don’t be ridiculous! As long as | have Maia, Cedric has no choice but tolisten to me. | can tell you want to kill me, but unfortunately, your dear wife's life is in my hands!”

Cedric took over the megaphone and asked coldly, “Name your price.”

“Get me a speedboat with only the driver on it!”

Baz went to get it done right away. After a few minutes, a speedboat drove toward Theo’s boat.

When the speedboat got close enough to the boat, Theo instructed Baz to stop, “Stop here and jump off!”

Baz did not dare agitate Theo as he saw that he still had his gun against Maia’s forehead. He quickly followed Theo’s orders andjumped off the speedboat.

When Theo was sure that Baz was far away enough, he instructed Maia to get on the speedboat.With the intention of stalling for time, Maia pretended that it was difficult to get over the rail

of his boat.

Theo was getting impatient. “Hurry up!”

“I'm trying. | don’t have much strength left in me, and if anything happens now, do you think Cedric will still cooperate?” For somereason, she was not afraid of Theo even though she had a gun pointing at her.

When she finally managed to climb over the rail, she looked up toward Cedric before jumping onto the speedboat.

In that split second, a gunshot was heard, and Theo was shot.
