Chapter 304
Ethan finally arrived at the port right when the cargo ship was going to depart.
Kelvin led a group of officers to the cargo ship. “We received a report that there are prohibited goods on your ship. The officers need to inspect your goods. You can depart today.”
The businessman, who was standing in front of them, said, “Sir, I’ve reported the list of goods to the officials according to the rules. I’ve been running this business for over ten years. Why would I transport illegal goods?”
“We will find out after we inspect them. Get out of the way.”
A group of people swarmed the ship. Ethan was standing in the middle of the crowd, watching them taking action as if he was a God.
His gaze swept across the managers of the ship. There was no sign of Colin.
Holding his head high, Ethan asked, “Where’s Colin Moriarty?”
“Mr. Moriarty? Why would someone as prestigious as him be with us to transport the goods? Stop joking, sir.”
Kelvin grabbed that person’s collar aggressively. “Stop wasting our time. I know that he’s on the ship. Call him out!”
They had checked the surveillance footage. Colin’s car arrived at the port two hours ago.
“Sir, we run business by the law. Why should we lie to you?” the businessman answered.
Not wanting to waste time with the lying businessman, Ethan entered the cabin.
“Sir, we don’t put the goods here. This is where we stay. I advise you not to go in there. It’s a mess,” the businessman said.
Kelvin kicked the man away. “Out of the way!”
Ethan strode into the cabin and kicked the doors open one by one.
He thought, “Very well, Olivia Fordham. You keep testing my patience.
“You promised not to leave me, but you broke your promise! How dare you run away with another man!”
All he could think of was how he would punish Olivia after finding her.
The more rooms he checked, the deeper he frowned.
The crew accommodation was a mess. Most of the rooms reeked of smelly socks.
He reached the last room in the cabin. He kicked the door open only to find a fat woman in it.
She screamed in surprise.
“Mr. Miller, it’s easy for them to get caught here. They won’t choose to stay here. It could be one of the rooms downstairs.” Kelvin tried to calm Ethan down.
Noticing that something was off, Ethan looked at the open doors in the hallway.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly for them.
He put himself in Colin and Olivia’s shoes.
If he was them, would he board this ship, which stood out so much?
Ethan soon comprehended the situation.
Although Colin was young, he was a calculating man and might’ve devised a comprehensive plan.
He must’ve guessed that Ethan would find out their plan to travel by water and search all the ships.
Thus, Colin had specifically arranged a departure for this ship to draw Ethan’s attention.
Chapter 304
Perhaps Colin and Olivia were already out in the sea by another ship!
“Darn it!” Ethani huffed.
Kelvin, who had yet to understand the situation, looked at Ethan dubiously. “Mr. Miller, what’s wrong?”
“Olivia’s not here.”
This cargo ship was huge, filled with big cargo. If they were going to search every nook and cranny of it for Olivia, it would surely take up a lot of time.
After all the time spent on that search, Colin and Olivia might’ve been long gone!
“We’re at the right place. This is the Moriartys’ ship,” said Kelvin.
“He has made a lot of preparations for many possibilities. He’s also prepared for an inspection. This ship is a bait.”
Kelvin didn’t believe that.
Brent walked up to them with solemnity. “Mr. Miller, there is a lot of cargo on the ship.
“We’ve brought a lot of men along, but it’ll be midnight before we ch*ck all of them.”
It was as Ethan had expected. His expression darkened. “No need for that. They’re gone.”
“They’re gone?”
Ethan walked out of the cabin and ordered, “Get a helicopter ready. Tell them to stop all the cargo ships from leaving the border.
“Just say that a group of drug dealers are shipping drugs illegally.”
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
