v2 Chapter 200: Karinas determination (1/2)
Malone's betrayal gave the businesswoman a head-on blow. The former was the one she trusted most in Nassau, and even the only one she trusted when she first landed on the island.
Unexpectedly, it was bought early. Although according to Malone, he only sent Malcolm a total of three messages, but Karina felt nauseated when she thought of a pair of eyes around her.
Perhaps the only thing that is thankful is that Malone's information is mostly in the trade. Business things like meetings with black gladiators are all alone. Malone has mentioned several times in the name of protecting security and wants to go with her. , But she was rejected.
She did not doubt Malone's intentions at that time, but simply considered that she might be offended by bringing her guard, otherwise Malcolm might already know that someone had intruded into his study.
Karina worked hard to restrain her emotions, and asked a few more questions, and then gave Malone to the four sailors of Jackdaw, and they checked the truth of what Malone said, and afterwards the latter directly On the ship back to England, Malone mentioned that he had a sister in Kent, so this was the best ending for him.
Even if he wants to come back a year later, Karina and Malcolm should have already won.
When everything was over, the businesswoman felt a deep exhaustion, and she threw the short musket in her hand to the side of the road. Until today she did not understand what her father told her in prison on the island. Do n’t believe anyone is What do you mean.
The relationship between Malone and her has long been friends, more like a family and a mentor. Losing Malone is far more important to Karina than losing an experienced and familiar ship captain.
If Wilton's blatant threat on the beach made her feel fear for the first time, now Malone's betrayal has given her another cruelty.
There was even a moment in her mind that she wanted to give up. She was not sure what else was waiting for her to go down this road. What would it take to win the war with the Black Merchants Union? The price.
The businesswoman's footsteps stopped in front of the carriage, and she looked around blankly, not knowing where she should go at this moment, until the driver coughed softly, ”Miss Karina.”
”Sorry, go to Captain Zhang Heng's residence.”
Karina made the decision, pulled the door and sat up. She didn't look back behind her. Those things born in the past let it stay forever. Since her father went to jail, she came to this point. There is no retreat at all. In this case, she only goes on like this.
After waiting half an hour for the carriage to stop, the business woman's look has returned to the same.
Zhang Heng was learning Dutch with Vincent in the living room, looked up to see Karina standing outside the door, and nodded to the young boat doctor, ”Come here today.”
The latter heard that the book was put away, and Annie ran out to find Harry in the afternoon, so when Vincent left, only Zhang Heng and Karina were left in the room.
Zhang Heng raised the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for the businesswoman. Perhaps because of the Orientals, he still prefers tea more than coffee.
