A Successful Career After Divorce

Gideon’s smile was repulsive. Addyson half-heartedly resisted, but she couldn’t find a reason to refuse him.

She needed Gideon to take her on the ship despite the danger. Once they disembarked, she wouldn’t bother with this disgusting, foul-smelling man.

“Dear, it’s not a good idea… The ship hasn’t set sail yet. What if someone looks for you? You can’t just run off halfway through, can you? That wouldn’t be enjoyable for you either…”

“Why don’t we wait until the ship sets sail? You have a few hours of rest then, right? You can come find me at that time.”

Addyson tried to avoid him as much as possible.

But Gideon was already consumed by desire. Addyson’s fair skin and beautiful figure, along with her enticing voice, made it hard for him to resist. He pulled her towards the changing room as they walked.

“What’s there to be afraid of… In situations like this, it usually takes a few hours to leave. Just wasting time here is such a waste!”

A few hours? Addyson’s smile disappeared. “Didn’t you say we could leave soon? You lied to me?”

Seeing Addyson upset, Gideon tried to placate her. “Oh, come on, why would I lie to you? They said there’s an issue with the documents. We have to wait anyway!”

“Let’s not waste any more time…” Gideon noticed Addyson’s reluctance and whispered, “You want to take that kid to Okland, right? You’re smuggling without going through customs… If we get caught, I’ll be in trouble too.”

“I’m helping you so much; you won’t make me do it for free, will you?”

Despite her reluctance, Addyson had no choice but to comply.

She was taken to the changing room, and soon inappropriate sounds filled the space…

At the hatch, the captain was surprised by the sudden inspection. “Our cargo ship has all the proper documents. Why the sudden inspection?”

Fortunately, the police presented their credentials.

The group boarded the cargo ship for inspection.

“Excuse me, have you seen this woman?” The police showed a photo to the captain, who shook his head. “No, I haven’t.”

“You can inspect the cargo ship. I’ll provide you with a list of all personnel for verification.”

The captain didn’t want any trouble and was very cooperative.

As the announcement sounded, Gideon had just finished his business. He muttered in confusion, “Why the sudden assembly?”

Addyson was dressing and felt a bad premonition. She asked nervously, “Could they have discovered me?”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Impossible! No one saw me bring you on board. You’ve been hiding in my storage room, and only I have the key. No one will find you.”

Addyson was still worried. “See if there’s a more hidden place. I’ll stay there until the ship sets sail.”

Gideon thought for a moment, also fearing discovery. He nodded after some consideration. “Take the child and follow me.”

After arranging everything, Gideon went to the deck for assembly.

He didn’t expect to see uniformed police officers…

Gideon immediately sensed trouble.

“Everyone is here. You can verify them one by one.” The captain handed the list and photos to the police.

The police verified each person while those inspecting the ship returned and shook their heads at Enzo, indicating no clues.

Enzo took out Addyson’s photo. “Have any of you seen this person?”
