Chapter 49 Pushed Into The Sea
Finished
Nadia was somewhat perplexed. Seeing Jennifer’s guilty demeanor, she grew curious, staring at Jennifer as if trying to see right through her.
“I wasn’t asleep,” Nadia said softly.
Even Brendan, standing behind, gave Jennifer a long look. Although he didn’t say anything, his gaze turned subtly playful.
Jennifer approached and took a seat nearby. Her gaze landed on Gabrielle, hesitation flickering in her eyes. In a soft voice, she said, “Gabrielle, I seem to have lost something. Could you help me look for it? I’m a bit scared to go alone.”
No sooner had her words fallen than Gabrielle’s gaze sharpened, her lips curving. Her demeanor turned chilly, but she smiled and replied, “Sure! Where is it? I’ll go with you”
With that, she picked up the flashlight and rose to her feet, only to be held back by Nadia.
“Isn’t it rather late! How about searching tomorrow? After all, it’s not like someone will pick it up in the wild,” Nadia softly suggested.
People often say it’s essential to be on guard. Moreover, this is a deserted island. What if something happens when you go out in the middle of the night? It’ll be disastrous.
Gabrielle noticed the wariness in Nadia’s gaze and lightly patted her hand to reassure her not to worry.
“It’s fine. Jennifer probably lost something important. I’ll go with her to look for it. We’ll be back shortly,” Gabrielle said sofily.
As she spoke, she rose, following Jennifer out.
Watching them go, Nadia was hit by a peculiar sensation.
“Brendan, don’t you think it’s strange? When the whistle sounded outside, Jennifer went out She seemed somewhat guilty when she returned. Now, she’s even intentionally asking Gabby to go out and help her look for something. What exactly did she lose that’s so valuable she had to search for it in the middle of the night? Isn’t it easier to search when dawn breaks tomorrow! You can’t see anything in the middle of the night Nadia bit her lip, her voice low..
Earlier, she felt something was off upon noticing Jennifer’s darting gaze.
“Let’s follow them and see,” Brendan suggested softly.
He picked up the flashlight and rose to follow Nadia out.
Upon stepping outside, they found that Gabrielle and Jennifer were nowhere to be seen.
“Where did they go? Nadia was stunned.
She scanned the empty surroundings. The two figures had long since vanished.
“What should we do? Where did they go? Should we split up and search? Nadia asked anxiously..
Brendan shook his head. “We can’t split up. We’re both alone. It’ll be troublesome if we encounter danger. It’s better if we stick together.”
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of Team A.
“Let’s check out over there,” he suggested, leading Nadia in that direction.
Just earlier, Jennifer had led Gabrielle toward the beach. Her legs felt somewhat weak, and after taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped.
As Gabrielle passed by her, Jennifer clutched her arm in distress.
“What’s wrong?” Gabrielle asked, casting a puzzled glance at her arm.

Jennifer was forced to retreat step by step, struggling internally. Tears welled up in her eyes and she pulled Gabrielle back, saying. “Let’s not go anymore.”
ted by her pull.
However, Gabrielle remained where she was, unaffected by
She stood there, her delicate hands folded behind her, using the moonlight to gaze at Jennifer. Quietly, she said, “It was R who contacted you earlier. He sent you a secret signal, asking you to come out to talk.”
She continued. He used you to lure me to the beach. Is it to kill me?” Gabrielle’s tone was light but held clarity, as if she could see through everything.
Jennifer was taken aback, staring at Gabrielle in disbelief.
“Don’t worry. I didn’t follow you. I just made a guess,” Gabrielle said in a low voice. “I warned you before, and even did a reading.
Upon hearing this, Jennifer covered her face and collapsed to the ground.
They didn’t say they wanted to kill you,” she murmured. “They just told me to bring you over to help them treat their illnesses.
She quickly got up, locking eyes with Gabrielle solemnly. “Gabrielle, I just thought about it I think they’re up to no good. They sought your help in the middle of the night to treat them, even arranging the meeting by the beach. Something didn’t feel right to me. Ryan threatened to break up with me if I didn’t agree to bring you there. So, the misfortune you mentioned… That’s Ryan Jennifer asked, realizing belatedly.
Upon hearing her confession, Gabrielle chuckled and said, “Since you’ve come clean, I’ll be honest with you. Ryan isn’t your destined one. He’ll never marry you, nor will he be with you. He’s been using you for his gain all this time. This time, he used you to lure me out to please Chloe.”
Gabrielle paused before warning slowly, “Once something happens to me, Nadia and Brendan can testify that you called me away. If anything goes wrong, the blame will fall on you. If I die, you’ll rot in prison.”
Jennifer chuckled softly, tilting her head back to gaze at the bright moon in the sky. In a low voice, she said, “Yes. He event threatened me earlier, saying if I said no, he’d have the boss take advantage of me once I got back. Our contract includes drinking with clients. He said he’d… Jennifer trailed off with a bitter smile.
She stepped forward, pulling Gabrielle back as she continued, “Forget. I don’t need to be a celebrity. Being an ordinary person isn’t so bad.”
She tugged Gabrielle along for a few steps, only for the latter to twist her wrist free.
“Why head back now? It’s still early. I’ll go take a look. As Gabrielle spoke, she turned and headed in the direction Jennifer had just mentioned
By the time Jennifer registered what was happening, Gabrielle was nowhere to be seen
“Gabrielle!” Frantic, Jennifer hurriedly chased after her, only to find that Gabrielle had disappeared without a trace.
Anxious, she turned back, only to see Brendan and Nadia approaching. Walking up, she grabbed their hands, saying, “Tm sorry. It’s all my fault. I think something’s about to happen to Gabrielle.”
Jennifer then recounted the events that had just transpired.
After listening, Brendan’s handsome face darkened instantly. He said, “If Ryan asked you to bring her out, he must be up to something. Are you trying to get her killed?”
I’m sorry. I realize my mistake. Let’s hurry over there now. With that, Jennifer briskly headed toward the beach.
Meanwhile, Gabrielle moved swiftly, soon arriving at the shoreline.
Seeing a silhouette not far off, standing by the sea, she approached and asked softly. “Were you looking for me?“

With a few splashes, the waves rolled in, sweeping her figure into the sea, disappearing from his sight. Only after her figure had vanished did he quickly strode back.
