As long as she gets on this ship and heads to W City, it’ll be much easier to leave if she takes a plane from there.

After grabbing the boat ticket and boarding the ship, she checked the time: just over half an hour had passed. As the ship slowly left the shore, the two bodyguards in the gym finally realized that Mabel Quinn’s showering time seemed excessively long.

When they had a staff member go inside and found Mabel Quinn nowhere around, their faces turned pale. They exchanged glances, knowing full well what her disappearance would imply.

One quickly dialed Kyle Kinston’s number to report the situation, while the other urgently requested surveillance footage from the gym.

Meanwhile, Mabel Quinn was on the ship, watching Falling City fade into the distance, and finally exhaled deeply. At least the first step of leaving was accomplished.

The ship would arrive in W City in 6 hours. By the time they tracked her onto the vessel, she would likely be boarding a plane.

As Falling City gradually disappeared from her view, Mabel Quinn felt a sensation she couldn’t quite describe. She once thought her later years would be bound to this city, settling here, living a happy life, but never expected it to end like this.

Now she had nothing, utterly alone, just like when her father found her back then, also completely alone.

No, no longer alone.

Mabel Quinn bowed her head, gently placed her hand on her abdomen; now, she had this child. This child shared her bloodline and would be her family.

For this child, she was willing to do everything in her power. She thought as much, yet totally unaware behind her, someone was hiding in the shadows, eyes fixed intensely on her.

If Mabel Quinn saw this person, she would definitely recognize him as Cecil Quinn, the brother she had called her brother for over twenty years.

At that moment, Cecil Quinn was glaring at Mabel Quinn with jealousy. He had come to Falling City hoping to borrow some money from his sister to repay his gambling debt. When he reached the grand mansion resembling a castle where Kyle lived, the jealousy and inequity surged within him.

This "sister" of his lived in such a huge house, was connected to a powerful man with loads of money, yet wouldn’t share a bit of benefit with him as her brother.

Now, he’s merely an ordinary employee at Quinn Group, earning 5,000 yuan a month, without a house or car, residing in the staff dormitory, struggling to find a partner.

But her? With money, she never once thought of taking care of her brother. No wonder his mother called her an ingrate; indeed, raising her for so many years was in vain!

Because of the lack of money, he wanted to take a gamble. Ultimately, like their mother, he accrued a mountain of debt.

He was still contemplating how to ask Mabel Quinn for money when he saw her leaving Kyle’s residence in a car.

So Cecil Quinn hurriedly followed.

Then near the docks, he lost track, completely unsure of Mabel Quinn’s whereabouts. After searching for over an hour without finding her, he was pondering whether to return to Kyle’s residence to wait. He saw Mabel Quinn heading toward the docks, boarding the ship, wearing an almost unrecognizable disguise.
