Sebastian had also taken notice of Hendrix and Evan's movements. As if he had seen through us, he tossed the gun in his hand to the ground with a smile and collapsed onto the chair. "Let's fight to the death then. I won't feel too lonely with you guys in hell with me," he laughed.

I took a deep breath as I watched him laugh like a maniac.

It didn't matter if we lived or died, but the children were still on the island. We hadn't come back from a narrow escape just to sink into despair again.

Hendrix suddenly instructed, "Evan, take my wife away and have her stay with my children."

"Understood!" Evan nodded respectfully and then helped me up. "Madam, come with me."

I didn't know what Hendrix was going to do. I shot him a blank stare. I couldn't leave him alone.

Hendrix knew me well enough to know that I would not leave. He turned his head and said with a smile, "The two kids are less than a year old."

I was stunned by Hendrix's decision. At this crucial moment of life and death, he still hadn't forgotten that he could use the children to force me to make a concession, to force me to live. Looking into his smiley eyes, I clenched my fists tightly. "Don't worry."

After that, I got up and prepared to head back with Evan to take care of the children.

However, just as I turned around, Sebastian's upset voice rang out. "Hold it right there!"

"Arianna, do you think your family has the final say here? Do you really think you can come and go as you wish?"

I stopped in my tracks and didn't offer him an answer.

Hendrix's low voice rang out, "This is

the document that you've always wanted I'll hand it to you in exchange for letting Arianna stay with the children. Otherwise, will have to tear it up in front of you.

Re

Sebastian waş banking on exploiting the oil industry to make a comeback, so this was an opportunity he could not pass up. He only thought for moment before saying, "Okay, allow this just once. Arianna can leave and be with the children one last time. You won't have another chance like this in the future."

His teasing laughter was piercing to the ear. I unconsciously clenched my fists again, but forced myself to calmly walk away.

Behind me, I heard Sebastian unceremoniously asking for the document, "I've done what you asked for. Now, hand the document over..."

With Mullen and Evan guarding me, we rushed back to the Marshall Mansion.

Nathan had survived on the island for so long. It wasn't that he couldn't deal with an emergency, but the premise was that he needed enough time to deal with it.

However, Sebastian wanted us to perish together. The golf course must not have any habitable areas. If Hendrix couldn't leave the place in time, he would be blown to pieces.

Thinking of this, my pace slowed down.

Evan suddenly said, "Madam, don't worry. Everything is under the president's control."

I was stunned. "Hendrix knew that Sebastian was going to blow up the island?"

Evan cautiously looked back at Sebastian's people, took out his mobile phone to have a look, and urged me to keep walking forward.

I quickened my pace and asked Evan, "Tell me, how is Hendrix going to deal with this?"

Evan whispered seriously,

"Sebastian's men are scattered

around the island, and they don't

have many weapons. Two days ago, our men took control of one of the docks on the island. They can't break through it. We can evacuate there after doing what needs to be done."
