Chapter 2

Seeing me come out, Caleb's expression froze. He immediately got up from Olivia's arms, acting contrary to his usual behavior.

You should know that when he was abroad, he ordered Olivia around like a servant.

Especially when it came to anything related to me, he would always go out of his way to provoke me.

During each of our wedding anniversaries over the past seven years, Olivia would travel abroad to be by his side, losing track of time.

A year ago, when my parents were in a car accident and urgently needed money for medical treatment, Caleb chose that time to pester Olivia to buy him diamond rings, draining all her liquid assets. He even spent all my remaining savings. My parents died on the spot.

As for me, I only found out yesterday that all these years, the meal Olivia personally cooked for me each month was just to drug me, to prevent me from having a child that would inherit the Greene family fortune.

The sound of high heels brought me back to reality. The next second, Caleb appeared before my eyes.

He gave a fake smile and hugged me tightly.

Leaning close to my ear, he spoke in a voice only the two of us could hear:

"It seems Brother Jack has also been reborn."

"What? This time you're planning to keep the helicopter rescue a secret and sneak away by yourself?"

"Why don't we make a deal - this time, we can both leave, and leave Olivia behind."

I couldn't help but laugh. Olivia in the distance looked bewildered, warily watching my every move, afraid I would hurt her precious darling.

But she didn't know that the person she had cherished for over 20 years actually wanted her dead.

I grabbed Caleb's shoulders, putting some distance between us.

"What makes you think I would help you?"

Caleb's face instantly darkened. He let out a cold laugh, as if threatening:

"If you don't help me, I'll announce to everyone that you have a helicopter coming for rescue. You want to leave by yourself? Not a chance."

"Last time I could make Olivia abandon you. Do you think you'll get your way this time?"

Seeing his anxious look, I found it amusing. I raised an eyebrow and said:

"I can help you, but we'll leave it up to fate."

I walked past Caleb to stand in front of everyone and announced loudly:

"Don't panic everyone. I've already arranged for rescue. We'll all be safe."

Olivia casually crossed her legs, looking at me with disdain. Her words carried a mocking tone.

"You? What kind of rescue could you bring?"

"Just a man from a fallen family, only surviving by marrying me. What gives you the confidence and resources to say such things?"

I looked down at my whitened knuckles, ignoring her muttering to herself.

I tore the white paper in my hand into small pieces and handed them out to everyone.

"The helicopter rescue will arrive soon, but there are only ten seats."

There were eleven people on the train, which meant one person had to stay behind.

I took out a box for drawing lots, indicating for them to write their names and put them inside.

"In a moment, I'll draw names publicly. Only those whose names are drawn can leave with me."
