From the man's contemptuous tone, Tracey knew those men regarded Renee as a servant.
"Who's your captain?" Tracey asked. She thought it was a cargo ship.
"Don't you know?" The pirate was surprised.
"What are you talking about?" Vaughn glanced at the pirate next to Tracey with warning eyes.
Pirates on this ship didn't respect him for his virtues but for his iron fist.
The pirate immediately sprung backward and explained, "Nothing but a brief introduction of the ship."
Vaughn approached Tracey and said to her like a doting and caring lover, "It's windy here. Let's go inside."
Tracey didn't say anything to Renee. She could have sniped at her.
If she'd died, Renee would have been the culprit.
But she'd come back alive and become an expectant mother.
She didn't want to be a vengeful mother so she wouldn't take on Renee. Being a servant was enough punishment for her.
"Well... I owe you for saving my life. Can I help you with anything?" Renee asked.
She was very grateful to him and really wanted to find a way to thank him.
If Vaughn wanted, she and Adam could give him a huge fortune.
"You owe me nothing. You're pregnant and you need rest."
"Fine, I'll repay you after I go off." Tracey was starry-eyed and thought that she could get off the ship and contact Adam when they arrived at the port.
The guilt Vaughn felt every time he met her bright eyes tortured him.
He struggled to break the truth to her.
Although Tracey wouldn't do anything to Renee, her existence repulsed her. She would never forget her for what she'd done.
She decided to eschew Renee and keep her pregnancy a secret because it would only make her more belligerent.
Tracey turned back and left. Vaughn's eyes swept across the two of them and he was surprised by Tracey's composure.
Vaughn walked up to Renee and said in a low voice, "I spare your life just for Luke's sake. If you dare lay a finger on Tracey, I'll take your whole family down with her."
