Chapter 339
At this moment, another person walked in from outside, “Uncle Smith, we’ve arrived p>
As he spoke, the ship came to a halt.
The feeling of swaying on the sea gradually disappeared.
“Take them down p>
Upon Uncle Smith’s command, Scarlett Yates was casually picked up, like a sack of rice, and carried on someone’s shoulder.
After walking for a while, the air suddenly became much fresher, and Scarlett heard the calls of seagulls flying overhead.
She was carried off the ship.
After reaching flat ground, the person carrying her walked for a while longer and then set her down.
Then, with a thud, he tossed something similar to a bag onto the ground.
“Miss Yates, I know you’re already awake p>
Although Scarlett pretended to be unconscious and lay motionless on the ground, the person carrying her had already noticed she was awake.
Standing above her, he spoke with an emotionless voice, “I’ve left food and some lighting tools. This is a deserted island with few people. If you don’t want to get lost, it’s best to stay put and not wander around p>
“This move is due to unavoidable circumstances, but trust us; we mean no harm p>
Realizing that she’d been discovered awake, Scarlett found it impossible to continue the act.
The man’s words made her coldly laugh, “No harm intended? You take an innocent woman without grievances against you to a strange deserted island and then leave her be, and you still dare to claim you mean no harm p>
Her body still felt soft and limp, like cotton, with no strength.
But at least she was able to speak a few words.
“No matter how Miss Yates sees it, this move was indeed forced upon us. The Saxon Family has such a vast estate, monopolizing two-thirds of Z City’s best resources isn’t enough? This auction means nothing to them; even if they fail to secure it, it won’t affect them. But for other competitors, it’s a different story p>
“We merely aim to win this bid. Bringing Miss Yates and Miss Green here is just to divert the Saxon Family Young Masters’ attention. Due to Saxon Family capabilities, they’ll find you soon enough. At worst, you’ll spend one night here without any impact on you p>
“During your school years, you were a good friend of our Young Master and once even admired him. Consider this as helping someone you like p>
“What are you saying?!” In the darkness, Scarlett surprisedly widened her eyes.
The man chuckled and said, “Miss Yates, you’ve long overheard my conversation with Uncle Smith and will eventually guess who brought you here. There’s no point in hiding from you p>
“Indeed, as you suspect, I belong to the Dales Family, serving Young Master Henry Dales p>
“In this bidding process, the Saxon Family is the Dales Family’s biggest rival. As long as the Saxon Family withdraws, the Dales Family is confident of winning the bid p>
Henry Dales p>
Scarlett incredulously bit her lip, “So, bringing Alice and me here was Henry Dales’ decision p>
The man paused and then smiled, “Yes, without the Young Master’s orders, how would I dare to act on my own p>
Scarlett was in disbelief.
Her motionless hands began to tremble slightly.
How could it be Henry Dales!
