Facade of Love Novel novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Me Dear, We Meet Again 

Upon being reminded by Officer Jackson, I suddenly realized my mistake and stopped, reluctantly glancing in the direction of the two men before sitting down with him at the back 

Just as we sat down, the lights on the stage suddenly brightened, and a refined fernale voice announced, Dear guests who have traveled from afar, thank you for your patience. I assure you that tonight will be an enjoyable evening.” 

As she spoke, a curvaceous woman with a microphone and a charming smile appeared on stage

As the woman finished speaking, the curtain behind her slowly opened

Meanwhile, whispers started among the audience. I was unaware of what they were discussing and lacked the patience to listen closely, but Officer Jackson’s expression darkened

I looked at him curiously and asked in a low voice, What’s wrong?” 

With pursed l*ps, he coldly remarked, The world is declining.” 

A few seconds later, I understood. Beauty and wealth had always been closely linked

Beauty and money sometimes seemed to be interchangeable

I frowned, feeling uncomfortable, and asked Officer Jackson, How long do we have to stay here?” 

His brow was deeply furrowed as he scanned the surroundings before replying, Do you see any familiar faces?” 

I paused, realizing he was asking about Lucas. I shook my head. Since entering, I had not spotted any trace of him. Even after five years, I would recognize him. It could only mean he was not here

Officer Jackson bit his l*p, silent for a moment before looking at me. He must be here. Given his nature, he would likely be on the top floor. Try to find a way up there.” 

I nodded, glancing at the chaotic scene around us, and said to Officer Jackson, Can you handle being here?” The place was indeed likely to cause one to lose their senses

Officer Jackson pursed his l*ps, glanced at the drinks on the table, and assured, Don’t worry, I haven’t drunk any of this. I’ll be fine.” 

Indeed, he was a police officer. His determination and alertness far surpassed mine

I smiled, gestured toward the upper floors, and indicated 1 would go ahead

Leaving the hall, I made my way to the rear of the ship. The night had fallen, and the ship was sailing steadily on the sea 

Unsure if Lucas had even attended the party, I could only try to reach the top floor as Officer Jackson had Instructed

Before I had gone far, gunshots suddenly rang out from the cabin, sending chills down my spine

Instinctively, I turned back to see what was happening

However, before I could act, someone suddenly dragged me into a dark cabin

HelBefore I could cry for help, a wave of pain surged through me, and I lost consciousness

Ah!I awoke to cries resembling those of a slaughtered pig

Opening my eyes, I found myself in a grand, luxurious seaview cabin. Through the wide glass windows, I could see the boundless sea, but unfortunately, it was night, and I could not enjoy the vast 

seascape
