Chapter 133
At the time, Andrea kept talking about “mother.” Johnson knew it was a reminder and warning.
He understood what she meant–his mother was in Andrea’s hands.
Johnson owed a huge sum of money and thus had taken his mother on the run with him. As it turned out, Andrea had found his mother. That was why he didn’t dare say anything at first.
However, in the end, facing Anthony’s overwhelming hostility. Johnson couldn’t hold on for long.
Thank goodness Johnson had passed out right as he was about to compromise and spill the truth.
But now, the moment he saw Andrea, he remembered her warning and got so anxious that his breathing grew erratic.
Andrea approached him calmly with a cold smile. “I merely asked you to do something. Why did you cause me so much trouble?”
Johnson trembled nervously. “I didn’t expect this either. I swear! Mr. Hoffman came too fast!”
Most crucially, Anthony and Andrea weren’t engaged at all.
Johnson had only dared to work for Andrea because he had heard about their engagement in advance. But in the end, that was not the case at all.
Andrea chuckled wryly. “Quit finding excuses for your incompetence. I gave you money to let you temporarily hold off your debt, and this is how you repay me?”
Shaking, Johnson gritted out, “Ms. Thomson, Genevieve is the one Mr. Hoffman loves. You lied to me! He will never let me off the hook if anything happens to her. So, if you dare lay a finger on my mother, I’ll tell Anthony it was you who ordered me to do it!”
Andrea’s eyes turned frighteningly cold as malice flashed in them. She stared at Johnson for a few seconds, unsettling him.
After all, he had felt that Andrea definitely had something to do with this matter ever since Genevieve disappeared.
Johnson asked after a moment’s contemplation, “Were you the one who made Genevieve fall from the outside?”
Andrea’s expression changed, and a faint, somewhat threatening smile played on her lips.
She looked up at a back door across the room. It opened to a small passage that led straight to the cruise ship, and above this passage was where Genevieve had disappeared.
Restraining the emotions in her eyes, she looked down at Johnson and murmured, “You know too much…”
Johnson’s expression changed dramatically into one of horror. “Sure enough, it was you! You clearly said that getting the evidence to threaten her would suffice. I can’t believe you’re so cruel…”
Chapter 183
Andrea chuckled, blinking nonchalantly. “Cruel? You were the one who gave me such a great opportunity, so why shouldn’t I go for it?”
Smilingly, she stood up, took a pillow from the nearby bed, and closed in on him.
At this moment, Johnson panicked. “What are you doing?”
Andrea smiled gently. “Getting rid of you, of course. As long as you die, no one will rat me out to Anthony. I’m going to be his wife soon. Genevieve can go to hell! No matter how much he likes her, she’s become the sharks‘ next meal at the bottom of the sea now. Whoever gets in my way shall die!”
Johnson’s pupils dilated in a flash.
Abruptly, Andrea squatted down with the pillow in her hands, but before she could hold it over Johnson’s face, he quickly exerted his strength to get up and shove her off, all the while enduring the pain.
Andrea was thrown near the back door and struggled to get up. It astounded her that Johnson still had the strength to fight back.
Right then, Johnson also stood up straight and looked at Andrea antagonistically. “You basket case! How dare you try to get rid of me?”
He picked up the pillow that was flung aside and staggered toward her.
Andrea became visibly flustered. Biting her lip, she continued to provoke him. “How dare you shove me, Johnson Lewis! Do you not care about your mother’s life anymore? Don’t forget that she’s still in my hands. I can let your creditors find her at any time. Do you think they’ll let her go?”
Her gaze was taunting, and yet she put one hand on the back door’s handle and lightly pressed it
down.
Johnson’s face turned nastier when he heard it, and his breathing got heavier. “You bitch! How dare you threaten me? Even if I’ll die, I’ll make sure you join me!”
He looked even more decisive and ruthless now, with killing intent flickering across his eyes. The veins in his hand that was holding the pillow bulged as he strode to her.
The next second, Andrea suddenly opened the door and stepped back to the
passage outside.
Unfortunately, Johnson didn’t notice that. He chased after Andrea and felt utterly relieved and accomplished when he saw how frightened she was.
‘Look who’s scared now, bitch!‘ he swore inwardly.
With frosty eyes, he grabbed her arm and threw her to the ground.
However, Andrea unexpectedly screamed in panic, “Help! Let me go! Don’t kill me!”
The moment she yelled, the bodyguards outside the room went into action.
Two of them hurriedly pushed the door open and entered, their faces falling at what they saw.

20 Apr
Johnson quivered and then tightened his grip around Andrea’s neck anxiously.
He picked her up from the ground and placed her in front of him as a hostage while retreating to the railing. “Don’t come over. I have something to tell Mr. Hoffman. Let me see him!”
Yet, Andrea shook her head, looking terrified as she sobbed weakly, “Don’t believe him. He just admitted that he deliberately hurt Ms. Lawrence and even wanted to harm Mr. Hoffman. He’s doing this on purpose!”
Johnson choked her harder in rage. “You fucking bitch!”
He was so livid that he could kill this woman who had landed him in this state.
Andrea paled as she wept piteously, but she pretended to be strong and tried to fight back.
Without warning, Andrea slammed her body back. Johnson, already seriously injured, broke out in cold sweat from the pain but refused to release her just like that.
His whole body crashed into the railing following her action, causing him to inhale a sharp breath.
With both hands, Andrea grabbed Johnson’s arm which was tightly circling her neck as if she was about to suffocate, her face turning blue.
The bodyguards became anxious. “Ms. Thomson…”
They were about to go and save her when Johnson tightened his chokehold on Andrea, making her head fall back. Concurrently, he somehow stumbled backward and stepped on a slippery part of the floor.
With that, he lurched backward, half his body hanging beyond the railing.
But the moment he tried to steady himself, Andrea also stumbled backward and crashed into him.
Splash!
Johnson fell into the sea, struggling in terror. “Help!”
Andrea, on the other hand, caught her footing and hastily turned around, but her gaze was totally cool and collected. She clutched the railing, smirking unconsciously.
The bodyguards dashed over. One of them was about to pick up the long pole nearby to help Johnson, but Andrea immediately snatched it and instructed flusteredly, “You guys, go and call for help!”
Although the bodyguards knew that Johnson was not a good guy, he was still useful to Anthony now, so they couldn’t let anything happen to him.
Promptly, one of them left to get help.
Andrea looked at the other guy and said frantically, “Quickly prepare the speedboat to rescue him,
or he will sink soon!”
This made sense to the bodyguard. Thus, he turned to leave solemnly.
Chapter 133
And then, there was one.
Andrea slowly reached out with the long pole in her hand.
