Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2009

"Daddy, I'll stay by your side and never leave again. Please let Nathaniel go. Continuing this fight will only lead to mutual destruction, and neither side will leave the island. Is it really worth it?"

Declan's eyes were red with anger, and he gritted his teeth.

"No way! I want Nathaniel dead!"

Kristen's expression hardened. "I hope my death will change your mind."

With the gun pressed against her head, Kristen's fingers twitched, ready to pull the trigger.

"Kristen!" Declan was about to go mad.

The more than half a year without Kristen was torturous for Declan, and he lived with regret daily.

He could not bear to lose her again.

"Fine! I'll let him go!" Declan shouted through gritted teeth, suppressing his rage.

His men lowered their guns.

Seeing that neither side would benefit from continuing the standoff, Nathaniel signaled his bodyguards to put away their weapons.

Kristen kept the gun pressed to her head, facing Declan and his group as she escorted Nathaniel and his men to the ship.

Before they left, Nathaniel looked at her with a complicated expression and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't come to find you for the reasons you mentioned."

Kristen was taken aback and turned to look at him.

The ship had already started to pull away, and Nathaniel stood on the deck, growing smaller in the distance.

His face was serious, and it seemed he was still talking, but the wind and the ship's departure horn drowned out his words.

Kristen could only see his lips move but could not make out what he was saying.

Did he say he did not come because of Sheena or his past debts to her?

Then what was his real purpose?

As the ship sailed farther away, Kristen was overwhelmed with confusion.

She could not even make out Nathaniel's face clearly anymore.

Declan and his men emerged from behind the rocks.

Then, he snatched the gun from her hands and slapped her hard.
