Chapter 1540: Chapter 1540: Old Gentleman
Gavin Graves nodded slightly and calmly said, "Handling it this way is a wise decision. If the incident with the service staff becomes a handle or evidence, it won’t just be a matter of reputation; it will also bring big trouble from the Stan Family. At least now, half of the Stan Family’s anger is directed at the deceased Gene."
After feeding Cherry a few spoonfuls of soup, he put down the spoon and bowl and wiped her mouth.
"Is it because of this concern that you refuse to reveal the murderer?" Gavin asked her.
Cherry shook her head, "No, it isn’t."
Purple Summers was curious, "Then why do you keep holding back from saying it?"
"Because the Boss doesn’t allow me to say it." Cherry shrugged helplessly, "I promised him, even as a ghost one must keep their promise. He said the captain hid many bombs in the bottom cabin, and once the matter gets exposed, they will be detonated. Anyway, we’re not on the ship anymore, so let it blow."
Purple Summers broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this!
Earlier, she found blades in the vase. If it hadn’t been for considerable apprehension, she would have probably exposed the service staff incident!
Fortunately, she didn’t act recklessly!
Otherwise, the entire ship’s thousands of people would have perished together!
Purple Summers hurriedly stood up, "I’m going to find Alexander Summers and have him investigate the captain’s identity."
Without waiting for Gavin and Cherry’s reaction, she left in a rush.
The captain is the chief authority on a ship, overseeing all affairs aboard, wielding absolute authority. Being a captain requires not only rich sailing experience and driving skills but also high emotional intelligence and quality to manage daily administrative tasks on board.
Such a critical position must be entrusted by Under The Rose to a person of absolute trust.
Could the death of the Stan Brothers truly have been a scheme by the Under The Rose organization?
Gavin thought for a moment and asked Cherry, "Which Boss told you this?"
"It’s that... the old lady offering a billion; her husband." Cherry said, "Wasn’t there a time when we docked? Before they got off the ship, that Boss came over to tell me."
Gavin had never seen the old lady, let alone any Boss. Even as Cherry told him this, he was completely puzzled.
After all, this matter had ended, and having just accompanied her through a perilous ordeal, Gavin had no mind to pursue the matter thoroughly.
Intermittently, he fed Cherry other things. Maybe because she had just woken up, her appetite wasn’t good, and she only ate a little bit of each.
Gavin removed the cushion behind her and helped her lie down to rest.
Her eyes shone as she looked at him, filled with attachment.
"Get some more sleep..." Gavin sighed, patting her head.
Cherry hesitated to speak and softly asked him, "Are you leaving?"
Gavin responded with a faint "Hmm," "I’m going back to the hotel to rest. I’ll come see you later. While I’m not here, be good, don’t trouble the doctor and nurse, okay?"
He had watched over her all night without sleeping. He was indeed extremely tired now.
Cherry pursed her lips, feeling a bit wronged. Thinking since she woke up, Gavin hasn’t really shown her a nice face; her eyes unknowingly brimmed with a layer of mist...
Gavin felt like sighing again, "What’s wrong?"
Cherry choked up and asked him, "Are you... not going to want me anymore..."
"What are you imagining again?" Gavin said helplessly, "I’m just going back to the hotel to rest. I’ll be back in four or five hours at most to accompany you."
"Why do you have to rest at the hotel?" Cherry’s eyes were filled with tears, "You can rest here too."
She whimpered and sniffed a few times, her tone becoming more resolute, "Last time you said if I lost the ring again, you wouldn’t want me anymore!—You really don’t want me anymore now!!!"
The ring was on her left hand, and she didn’t even have her hand! Naturally, the ring was also gone!
