Chapter 491
Joshua stepped aside, phone pressed to his ear as he quietly gave Thomas his instructions.
Thomas led Trayson down below deck, into a room so dark and tucked away it was almost like it didn't exist.
Their guide was someone from the Brown family-a ship manager who clearly knew every nook and cranny of the
place. With him leading the way, Thomas brought Trayson to the most hidden room on the entire ship.
No sound could escape these walls, not with how far it was from the lounges and guest cabins. Without an
insider's help, nobody would ever stumble upon this place.
Here, it didn't matter how loud Trayson screamed. No one outside would hear a thing.
Joshua had been clear: Trayson was to be "well taken care of."
Trayson, just hauled out of the ocean, was soaked through and shaking so hard it looked like he might fall apart.
The bodyguards tied him up, then set out a tray full of knives and tools that gleamed under the single bulb.
Before anyone even touched him, Trayson lost it-shouting and begging like a trapped animal. He didn't know
what they were planning, but the sight of those knives told him enough: this wasn't going to end well for him.
Thomas clicked his tongue, annoyed, the knife in his hand catching the light. "What's with all the screaming?
Keep it up and I'll cut out your tongue."
Trayson stared at the blade, terrified, and instantly shut up.
Thomas's gaze was sharp and cold. "You like to play games? Good. Tonight, I'll play with you."
Lottie was so rattled she wired Allison a hundred thousand on the spot and promised she'd write and post a
public apology before the day was over.
Allison didn't even blink-she donated the money to charity right away.
Meanwhile, Joshua, Allison, and the others made their way to a lounge to regroup.

Sabrina glanced around. "Where's Trayson? Joshua, what did you do with him?" Joshua's eyes were cool,
unreadable. "Somewhere safe."
Allison just gave him a look and let it go. She trusted he had it under control.
Sabrina clenched her fists, frustrated. "Make sure he pays for what he's done! Don't just let him walk-he's hurt so
many girls in Spring Falls."
Joshua's voice was calm, almost lazy. "Don't worry."
Brian shot Joshua a warning look. "Just... don't go too far."
Joshua swirled his half-empty wine glass, his tone icy. "l won't.”
Spring Falls.
The Webb family estate.

Marissa collapsed to the floor, sobbing, her voice raw. "This is a curse, that's what it is... a curse..."
With two hours left before Carolyn's birthday party, everyone was still killing time
in the lounge.
Brian looked around. "Want to play a gwhile we wait?"
Sabrina grinned, pulling out a deck of cards. "Let's play King's Game!"
