Chapter 269 Peytie, you couldn’t escape

Peyton was not confident, so she decided to put on makeup

temporarily. She darkened her skin tone and drew some small freckles on her face.

Even if someone familiar with Peyton stood in front of her, they might not be able to recognize her.

She slowly pulled down the blanket, revealing her black face. “Officer, is there something wrong? I feel a little seasick, sorry.”

“We were catching drug traflickers. Could you please cooperate with us and participate in a simple investigation?”

The policewoman took out her notebook and began to inquire, “What is your name? What is your occupation? Where are you going? How many people are there on the ship?”

Peyton remained calm and composed. She calmly read the answer aloud.

“Alright, there were no more issues.‘

The policewoman was about to leave when suddenly she remembered something. She took out a pill from her pocket and said, “Perfect, I have motion sickness medicine here, it works really well.”

“Thank you,” Peyton extended her hand. The female police officer’s gaze fell upon her immaculate, delicate, and boneless hand.

Peyton thought to himself, “Oh no, the color of my hands is so different from my face.”

Fortunately, the policewoman didn’t say anything. She stuffed the notebook into her bag and said goodbye as she stood up, “Take good rest then.”

After the policewoman left, Peyton’s back was already covered in

sweat.

God knows, at that very moment her heart was about to jump out.

Kevin and Peyton, who had put on makeup, smiled at each other. “It’s all good now. We might have to wait a little longer before they let us through.”

“Um.”

The sky grew darker and darker. The entire sky seemed to be soaked in ink.

The heavy rain showed no signs of stopping. The raindrops pattered against the glass window, leaving behind transparent streaks.

Peyton took a shower and leaned on the bed, wearing a white coral fleece nightgown.

Dawn nestled comfortably in his arms, closed her eyes and snored.

She was able to read the book. Unconsciously, she had read more than half of it, but she realized it was not yet finished.

Peyton looked out through the window. There were faint lights scattered on the dark sea, like pearls lost in the ocean.

She yawned. Overwhelmed by drowsiness, she was just about to close the book and go to sleep.

“Boom.”

The sound of the helicopter’s propellers, however, clearly pierced through the ocean and directly reached her eardrums.

Peyton’s drowsiness immediately vanished without a trace!

Such heavy rain, such weather is simply not suitable for flying. Who on earth would dare to take a helicopter?

Wasn’t it about drug trafficking?

Peyton’s once calm heart started pounding at this moment. As the sound of the helicopter grew closer, the book in her hand accidentally fell to the ground.

Dawn was awakened by a loud noise. Annoyed, she looked outside.

Peyton was scared.

At some point, their boat was surrounded by a circle of coast guard ships!

At this moment, the lights on all the coast guard ships were aimed at their boat.

Peyton felt unwell. She dropped her book and hurriedly fled the cabin.

Kevin had already stepped onto the deck before her. They were illuminated by several lights, with nowhere to hide.

The waves were big on the sea, and the sea wind was howling.

Kevin’s voice remained gentle. He looked at her apologetically, “Peyton, I’m sorry. It seems like we’ve been set up.”

Peyton stared intently at the gigantic warship approaching her from a short–distance away.

Compared to their ships, that giant warship is like the difference between a small turtle and a sea turtle

In the bright light, she saw the man standing on the boat.

Lucian stood behind the man, holding an umbrella for him. The man stood at the bow of the ship, his coat draped over his shoulders. fluttering in the sea breeze.

He, like a high–ranking naval admiral, stood with his hands resting on the railing, looking down at her with a cold expression on his face.

Peyton knew that he had said a sentence.

Peytic, you couldn’t escape
