Chapter 280

Olivia could almost feel the person’s intent to kill. She was very meticulous and alert. Olivia knew she

had to hide.

The boat she got on was quite shabby, but it was large enough for her to hide in.

Olivia figured the person couldn’t search too thoroughly because they didn’t bring many people here.

She quickly snuck into the boat’s cabin.

The boat was partially submerged. The water within the boat was dirty. It smelled awful. Olivia knew

she couldn’t rely on anyone to save her this time. She could only save herself. No matter how hard the

road ahead was, she no longer had the option to back out of it. She slowly walked toward the foul-

smelling water.

Soon after, she heard footsteps on the boat.

Olivia pinched her nose and submerged herself in the water.

She was in a blind spot. Her pursuers wouldn’t see her if they didn’t enter the water.

Olivia’s heartbeat quickened as she heard the footsteps getting louder. She hoped that the person

searching wouldn’t jump into the pungent water.

The person shone a bright flashlight on the water.

The water was murky. The light could only reveal vague outlines of some old items in the water. Thanks

to the light, Olivia noticed a dead body not far away from her.

She could tell that it was a woman’s body from the long hair scattered in the water.

The last time she got so close to a dead body was when she saw Belle’s.

This unknown body wasn’t in much better shape than Belle’s.

Fish had eaten part of her face. There was even a fish that swam out of the body’s eye socket toward

Olivia’s hand.

Olivia grasped her chest and forced herself to calm down. This was a perfect place to dump bodies

since no one ever came here. She hid in the water because she had no choice. She didn’t notice the

body before.

“I found something!” Ryan said.

Olivia clenched her sleeve tightly. She felt despair. She grabbed her knife and prepared to fight for her

life. If Ryan went near her, she would stab him without hesitation.

“Look, doesn’t that look like a person? Could that be Olivia?”

Jennifer brought over a pole and said, “We’ll know once we retrieve it.”

The pole touched the dead body, Olivia was trembling in fright. The body was dragged onto the

surface.

Ryan said nonchalantly, “Damn it, how unlucky. It’s a dead body,”

“It’s dirty and smelly here. A princess like Olivia would never be able to hide here. Let’s go.

Olivia remerged from the water as the footsteps faded into the distance and began gasping for breath.

Although the air still stank from the dead body, it was better than being underwater.

Olivia smiled in relief, even as she was filled with fear. She had survived.

As long as she lived, she would have a chance to exact revenge on the person that brought her so

much pain.

Her stomach pain seemed to have subsided due to her will to survive. She switched on the teddy

phone watch that Chloe gave her. It was still working.

She didn’t expect this watch that she didn’t take off due to sentimentality to come through in a pinch

like this.

She looked at the body. It looked gruesome. But she had no time to be afraid.

She wondered if the family of the body realized she was dead. She was also curious about the identity

of the body.
