The next morning, Renee asked to see Vaughn. Luke was reluctant, but agreed at last.
Renee thought Vaughn would definitely let her go if she asked.
She could bribe him if necessary.
When Vaughn pushed the door open and came out, Renee glimpse Tracey on a luxurious bed.
Renee despised Tracey even more. She was the opposite of all she was cracked up to be.
She was dissolute and relished seducing men. It hadn't been long since she left Adam but she was now on another man's bed.
Tracey had had a warm and cozy night in such a lavish room with conditioner while she'd tossed and turned on a creaking bed.
She'd woken up several times from cold last night but she couldn't blame Luke for it. There were people sharing one room.
"Vaughn, Miss Xia wants to get off when we reach the next port for replenishment, which is only hours away."
Luke tried to persuade Vaughn to release Renee. He knew the longer she stayed here the more dangerous it would be for her.
Last night, Renee hadn't seen Vaughn clearly in the dim light. It turned out he was a tall man with stubble on his face.
Vaughn was quite different from the business elites she used to know.
His sharp eyes were like those of an eagle and he got the aura of an intimidating predator.
Renee quailed and said, "Thank you for saving me last night. I will give you a reward after I get in touch with my family. Please let me get off at the next port."
"Luke, didn't you tell her no one can leave this ship easily?" Vaughn glanced at Luke. He knew Luke wanted to help this woman.
"Why? You saved me and I am very grateful for that, but you can't force me to stay on your ship." Renee was a little anxious.
Luke's warning came back to her. Who on earth were those guys?
"You said reward. What kind of reward?" Vaughn gazed at her coldly. He hadn't liked this woman since what she'd said last night.
He was an incisive observer, which was why he survived all these years. His instinct told him Renee was manipulative.
"Name your price." Renee bit her lip. She had seen Rocco give five billion to Leo, and she believed that he wouldn't leave her in the lurch.
"I want your life." Vaughn enunciated every syllable.
Renee met his eyes and realized he meant it.
"You..." Renee frowned. "I can give you money."
"It seems you still don't have a grasp of the situation. Luke, tell her who we are." Vaughn crossed his legs, lighting a cigarette in an offhand manner.
