Chapter 897: Chapter 897 The Shameless Swindler_1

The yacht docked at a scenic spot called Bamboo Slope, where the bamboo forests on both banks were as magnificent as the ocean, endless in sight. The dock was crowded with tourists, bustling with noise. Various bamboo crafts were sold, and the locality also offered a delicacy made from bamboo shoot fibers, which enticed visitors to try a taste.

Purple Summers could see the outside scenery through the round window.

The lush bamboo couldn’t soothe her inner anxiety. She wasn’t Alexander Summers; she couldn’t bring herself to be rough towards the delicate and frail Atra Blanc. She always aimed to minimize the harm.

“What if we do this…” Purple Summers suggested to Alexander Summers, “We could say she’s our mom’s sister, that Clyde Summers has something urgent to take care of and can’t look after her. We’ll coax her back home first, and we’ll deal with the rest later.”

At least that would save face for the time being.

Alexander Summers retorted, “How is that different from lying to her?”

“But how can I possibly say it now?” Purple Summers was tremendously frustrated, “Mom won’t be able to handle it! She can’t take this kind of shock!”

Purple Summers sighed. “Damn it, this Clyde Summers!”

If it weren’t for Clyde Summers, Atra Blanc’s life would still be peaceful; if it weren’t for Clyde Summers, Purple Summers wouldn’t be caught in a dilemma.

All because of Clyde Summers!

“We could stage an accident on the yacht, such as a false fire alarm. In the chaos, we take her away,” Alexander said. “If she asks about Clyde, just say we got separated, then take her to the hospital for treatment. With time, she’ll understand.”

This way, they could explain Clyde’s disappearance and naturally look after Atra Blanc without, strictly speaking… lying.

Purple Summers had to admit that Alexander’s mind was more agile than hers; he always found a way.

Relieved, Purple Summers said, “Alright, I’ll talk to Clyde at 12 o’clock, get him to cooperate with our plan. He promised he wouldn’t stand in our way anymore…”

Alexander raised his eyebrows slightly, “Why at 12 o’clock?”

Purple Summers replied, “Clyde wants me to decide and come to see him at 12…”

After a moment of silence, Alexander said, “Purple, the yacht sets sail at 12 o’clock.”

Purple Summers’s face turned a shade paler.

Her thoughts solidified like cement, then shattered inch by inch! She was completely flustered!

Without waiting to speak, Purple Summers suddenly charged out of the room and headed to Clyde’s and Atra Blanc’s room, knocking incessantly on the door!

Alexander followed her out.

The noise attracted the attention of the neighboring guests, who opened their doors to check; the tour guide was also there.

“There’s nobody inside. Mr. Summers and his wife just left the group,” the tour guide said.

Purple Summers’s complexion turned from pale to livid!

Clyde Summers had deceived her!

The shameless charlatan! He said to decide and meet at 12; it was just a delaying tactic!

Clyde Summers knew well that Purple Summers planned to take Atra Blanc away, so he preempted by appearing willing to let go. But actually, he was just lowering Purple Summers’s guard. While she was struggling with what to do, he had already absconded with Atra Blanc!

By the time Purple Summers went to find Clyde as arranged—the yacht would have sailed at 12, unable to return to the dock. Even if she wanted to pursue them, she couldn’t!

It wasn’t that Purple Summers was foolish; Clyde Summers was just too cunning!

No upright person would anticipate such trickery.

Alexander and Purple Summers grabbed their luggage and rushed off the ship.

It wasn’t just their yacht at the dock—there were other sightseeing boats too, so the shore was noisy and congested, swarming with vendors and tourists interspersed throughout.

If Clyde truly had fled, he would likely head straight for the nearby transit routes. Long-distance buses were a good option, but with plenty of cash on hand, renting a car would make his getaway even more convenient.

Alexander and Purple Summers caught a taxi and hurried to the largest nearby transportation hub.
