The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 973 Shot and fell into the sea

On this side, Anthony received the message from Jaqueline and was about to rush to the South Sea.

Zack was surprised. "Mr. Callahan, do you want to think about it again? What if this is a trap?"

Anthony's expression was cold. "Even if it's a trap, I have to go. We have to meet up late. Can't avoid it."

On the other end, Malcolm found the clues.

Jaqueline was indeed a member of an organization, and she was the adopted daughter of the leader of that organization.

And judging from Jaqueline's recent actions that she was by Anthony's side, he had made the case a lot of progress, and immediately arranged for someone to rush to the Callahan family.

This was a big breakthrough.

Both sides were acting urgently.

Anthony was not far from the South Sea, and he reached the destination soon.

The moment he arrived, he saw Jaqueline on the ship being controlled and shouted at him, "Don't come over. Go! This is a trap!"

As soon as she said so, a man next to her slapped Jaqueline directly.

The situation was critical, and not too many people were brought in. Fortunately, Zack had arranged for an emergency transfer from South Sea before he came.

When he saw Jaqueline being beaten, Anthony's breath was cold.

"Anthony, I'm sorry I didn't mean to harm you with them. I wanted to save you. I'm sorry!"

A man came from the dark, wearing a black gown, sunglasses, and a cigar in his hand.

He said quietly, "Anthony, long time no see. When I first saw you, you were a little boy, only this tall. I didn't expect that you have grown so tall now."

He gestured with his hands and smiled warmly.

Anthony said coldly, "So it was you."

"It's me. You didn't expect it? And you didn't expect Jaqueline is my adoptive daughter. She has been lurking by your side for so long. I don't know if you found it?" said the man who laughed. Jaqueline was still roaring, telling Anthony to leave quickly. Her noise affected the man beside her, and the man's finished cigarette burned directly on Jaqueline's shoulder.

"What are you yelling! I've raised you so many years. Haven't I nourished you enough!? You fell in love with him and betrayed me!"

"Ah!"

The intense pain made Jaqueline scream.

Across the pier, Anthony could only watch and yelled in a deep voice, "Just come at me. Don't embarrass a woman."

"Woman? She's my woman. Did you see when she was happy under me every day? Anthony, you are so pathetic."

Jaqueline couldn't stand such a humiliation for her loved one to see. She wished she could plunge into the sea and never want to live again.

But Sheldon refused.

He tore off her clothes, completely exposing her chest.

Annoyed, Anthony ordered everyone to come on.

For a while.

There were gunshots and screams at sea.

Sheldon's subordinates were all professionally trained, but Anthony's were not bad.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Anthony rushed onto the ship and rescued Jaqueline. Jaqueline was already in tears.

It never occurred to her that Anthony would come to save her again.

Looking at the man in front of her, she felt that she was content in this life.

"I'm fine. You go first. Don't worry about me. They are all targeting you."

Gunshots kept ringing in his ears. Not far away, Zack was bruised by bullets, and his arm was bleeding.

Anthony settled Jaqueline down and wanted to go over to help. "You just stay here and don't run around."

He hadn't gone far when the sniper in the dark was ready to strike. Jaqueline rushed up and hugged him from behind. "Be careful!"

Bang--

The gunfire was deafening.

The moment her back was penetrated by the bullet, Jaqueline felt as if she saw sunlight.

The blood kept flowing. She fell to the ground weakly. Anthony turned his head and breathed hard. "Don't be afraid. I will take you to hospital." Jaqueline stopped him and told him to throw her over the side.

Breathing was painful. She lightly tugged on Anthony's sleeve and asked obsessively,

"Anthony, did you ever feel for a moment that I am not Lyra's double, but Jaqueline?"

"Have you ever... really liked... Jaqueline?"

Anthony's face froze, and before he could answer, the hand that was pulling on his sleeve dropped down.

Leaning against the edge of the ship, Jaqueline, who was unconscious, fell straight into the turbulent sea. "Jaqueline!"

Anthony didn't even have time to grab her.

The blood was dense in the water, like a gorgeous flower bloomed.

Everything came so suddenly. Anthony could only look at the sea in silence.

Zack finally got free there and rushed forward to stop him.

"Mr. Callahan, the dead cannot be brought back to life. It's dangerous. Please protect yourself first."

Anthony came back to his senses. When he looked at Sheldon not far away, his whole body was filled with a bone-chilling rage.

"Today, none of you can leave."

With that said, the reinforcements called by Zack had arrived.

The two sides, who were not much different from each other before, finally changed. Seeing that the situation was not good to his side, Sheldon led his people to evacuate quickly. Anthony didn't give him a chance. Grabbing his collar and dropping his fists again and again, he thought it was hard to get rid of the hatred in his heart.

Those subordinates saw Sheldon being beaten and wanted to take revenge, but Sheldon stopped them directly with a gesture.

"No need to come here."

Even his subordinates didn't know what was going on. At this moment, Sheldon said, "Anthony, Jaqueline was raised by me. I only have such a daughter. You caused her death!" Anthony stared at the man in front of him, and the resentment in his heart increased.

"It was your man who killed Jaqueline. You did it."

Sheldon's mouth was stained with blood, and his eyes were sharp.

"If Jaqueline hadn't met you, how could she have died? It was you! It was you who killed her! I won't just let you go!"

Sheldon took the opportunity to get up and was going to leave under his subordinates.

Zack hurriedly sent people to surround him, but Anthony raised his hand and ordered, "Let him go."

Zack expressed his incomprehension. "Mr. Callahan..."

"This time it's even. If I meet you next time, I won't just let it go."

After Anthony finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Seeing this, Sheldon's subordinate persuaded, "Mr. Alford, should we go back, or take this opportunity to kill him directly?"

The man looked very complicated and shook his head.

"Anthony is a man of flesh and blood."

His eyes lingered on Anthony.

This action led to a serious loss, especially for Sheldon. Although he usually treated Jaqueline bad, she was raised since she was a child. After all, he had feelings, and he began to feel sad after returning. He looked at the things Jaqueline had used, and didn't make a sound for a long time.

The doctor who came to treat him came in, but he still didn't recover from his thoughts, so his subordinates called him several times.

"Mr. Alford?"

"Mr. Alford, are you all right?"

He waved his hand, saw the doctor holding the medicine box in front of him, and responded, "I'm okay."

There was a wound on Sheldon's arm, where a wood directly penetrated the flesh. If the wood was not removed, his arm will become disabled after a long time.

The doctor was a foreigner who can only speak their local dialect, and he was from the same hometown as his subordinate.

After communicating with the doctor for a while, the man came over with a rather complicated expression and conveyed the doctor's words to Sheldon.

"Mr. Alford, the doctor said the sawdust needs to be taken quickly. After a long time, it will have a great impact on your body and cause infection." Sheldon responded, "Just take it."

As he spoke, he stretched out his arm.

The doctor took out the injection and was about to anesthetize, but was stopped by Sheldon.

"I don't need anesthesia. Just do it directly."

His words made everyone present stunned. How painful would it be without anesthesia?

Sheldon had never been like this before.

Everyone realized after a while that all this was because of Jaqueline's death.
