The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 2212

Everyone was taken aback by Justin's sudden epiphany.

"Mr. Salvador's hunch must be correct. There is a high chance that Miss Thompson is on Rose Island!"

Hope ignited in Yvonne's eyes. She was convinced as well. "I remember Taylor mentioning Christopher buying an island in passing. He said Christopher was fond of the island and would frequently go there for short getaways.

"I never thought much of it at the time since Christopher had many properties, so another island didn't make a difference. Now that I think about it, there must be something more to the island because of how often he heads over there in person. It's quite unusual, even for him. He must have been planning it for a while. That island must be his final hiding place!"

If anybody else came up with this theory, it would have just been speculation.

However, Yvonne was Christopher's confidant, so her theory was highly plausible.

"We're going right now! I'll pilot the helicopter!"

Justin's heart pounded violently against his chest.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

His eyes were bloodshot. After he strapped a gun to his waist, he grabbed his phone and other equipment to prepare to leave. That was when Ralph and Declan rushed over to stop him at the door.

"No, you can't go!" Declan put his arms out to stop Justin. "There's been a typhoon warning around the region, issued by the officials. Starting tonight, all flights will be suspended for three days! You're going to die if you take a helicopter now!"

Justin's eyes were rabid. "In that case, I'll take a boat and go by sea!"

Frantic, Ralph started cussing. "You bloody fool! How is that any better? I know you want to find Bella, but you shouldn't lose your life trying to find her! We all know you're anxious, but you have to calm down!

"It's been so many days. If something was going to happen to Bella, it would have happened long ago! So what if you have to wait three more days? If you go now, there is a 99% chance something bad is going to happen. I don't want to have to lose another family member!"

Ralph's eyes were also red as he spoke. Upon hearing his caution, Justin suddenly blurted out, "You said 99 %. There's still a 1% chance that it would work out."

Justin could not control his surging emotions. He felt as if something was jammed in the middle of his throat. "As long as there is a sliver of chance, I will save Bella, even if I have to risk my life!"

He was born as stubborn as a mule, and there was no use trying to persuade him.

The only person who could ever hope to persuade him was not by his side, and Justin was on the verge of breaking down entirely at this point.

Asher was burning with anxiety. "Justin, please listen to us and wait just a little longer!"

"Wait?! It's been almost half a month! Now that we finally have a lead, you're telling me to wait again?!" Justin growled with exaggerated movements. "You want me to wait three more days?! What if Christopher suddenly loses it and hurts Bella? What if he knows we are on his tail? What if he takes her somewhere else?! Do you lot have any idea how big the world is? Where do you suppose I go to find her at that point?!" Everyone fell silent.

They were just as aware of this.

However, there was only so much that mere mortals could do in the face of destructive natural phenomena.

"I'll go with you." Drew took a step forward and fixed a resolute look on Justin's pale complexion. He suddenly grinned and became more confident than ever. "We go way back, don't we? If it's anyone who should come with you, it's me!"

Justin was touched. "Drew..."

Yvonne looked at Drew's imposing figure from behind, her eyes slowly welling up with tears.

It was a mix of nerves, admiration, and deep affection.

Needless to say, there was a lot of concern mixed within as well.

After all, she had lived in Sentania for years and was familiar with how dangerous the typhoon in the region could get. The slightest mistake could get someone killed!"

"Screw it... What else is there to say at this point? I'm a police officer. I should be the one leading the charge! I'm coming too!" Ralph stepped up and declared while thumping his chest.

The younger siblings could get away with making a rash decision, but the elder siblings could not afford the same rashness. Declan and Asher were still strongly against the idea of them setting out to sea in the middle of a typhoon.

"Justin, Drew."

Edward stepped forward with a grave look on his face and advised them gently. "We know there's no stopping you at this point.

"I had someone check with the meteorological department. They told us there will be a brief opening at around midnight. The winds will slow slightly, and the tides will subside briefly. So if you insist on doing this, that is the best time to leave.

"It takes about four hours to sail to the island. It's too risky to fly there. Besides, you'll draw too much attention with a helicopter and risk alerting Christopher. We don't know if he has manned the island with artillery weapons yet, so it's not a risk that you should take.

"I don't recommend anyone else to go because there is only a two-hour window before the typhoon comes raging again. If the situation changes, all of you are going to be stuck in the middle of the sea with nowhere to go.

"Justin and Drew, you two should stay low after getting on the island and scope out the situation first. Figure out if Bella is on the island and remember to keep in close contact with us. We will head over there to offer backup."

Edward spoke as a President should. He was pragmatic, composed, and considered all factors. This was an ability that was far above the common man.

Justin himself had already considered the points he had stated. This was why he wanted to head to the island stealthily to look for Bella.

If he mobilized large forces, he would risk alarming Christopher. He was afraid that the madman would lose his mind and do something rash to hurt Bella.

"Justin, Drew, get ready. We're setting sail."

Asher gulped with great difficulty and went up to hug both of them in turn before saying solemnly," Promise me that you two will return safely!"
