“I understand.”
Zeke nodded, and after Caitlin and the others left, Felix brought out the man who had disguised himself as a crew member one of Black Hawk’s accomplices.
“This
guy tried to escape but was caught!”
The man was handcuffed and couldn’t escape from Felix’s watch.
“Take him upstairs.”
Zeke needed to return to the upper floors to clean up the mess.
On the top floor, all the guests gathered in the performance hall, murmuring anxiously, their spirits unsettled. If the cruise ship wasn’t still on the sea, they would have scattered in all directions by now.
Just as the tension was thick, Zeke and his team walked in. He climbed onto the stage and addressed the crowd.
“Guests, please quiet down!”
The crowd fell silent and turned to Zeke.
Zeke continued, “I regret to inform you that tonight, which was meant to be a celebration for SY Capital Partners, was marred by unforeseen events. A waiter was killed, and there was an explosion on the third floor. After an intensive investigation, we now have some answers.”
Zeke gestured to the door, and Felix, along with two staff members, escorted the suspect into the hall.
“Guests, I am Detective Felix. I will now share the preliminary findings regarding the incident.”
“First, the waiter found dead in the lounge was not killed by Caitlin. The actual murderer is someone else. This individual is right here with us. He is the one responsible for the explosion as well!”
Felix yanked the man’s head back by his hair, forcing him to face the crowd, letting everyone see his face.
The man was nearly beaten to death and too weak to deny Felix’s
shoulders.

Felix let go of the man’s head and scanned the room with a cold, sharp gaze. “Is everyone clear on what happened now? Until the police complete their investigation, no one is allowed to share any details. If you do, I will pursue legal action.”
After Felix’s statement, the guests no longer doubted Caitlin. They trusted the police and trusted Felix.
However, Madison, Felix’s wife, was disappointed. She had hoped this would be the moment Caitlin was exposed as a murderer, but instead, her husband had just cleared her name.
What a waste of a chance!
Ximena and Zora shared the same disappointment. Caitlin’s supposed crime was cleared up just like that?
After Felix clarified the situation, they had the suspect taken away, and Zeke addressed the room once more.
“Guests, I sincerely apologize for the disruption to our celebration. However, I still want to thank everyone for attending. The future of SY Capital Partners
in the US will depend on your continued support. I hope that, in the future, we can work together and achieve great success!”

Zeke reassured the guests, solved the immediate issue, and concluded, “Unfortunately, our event has to end early. In ten minutes, the cruise wit and guests will disembark in order. Please rest for a bit, and we’ll see you next time!”
After Zeke finished speaking, he left the performance hall, and the remaining guests continued their discussions.
Meanwhile, in the luxurious cabin, Caitlin had taken a shower, and the maid that Zeke arranged brought her a change of clothes.
When she emerged, dressed in the new clothes, Sebastian, also freshly showered, knocked on the door.
Caitlin invited him in, and the moment Sebastian entered, he immediately pressed her against the wall, his intense gaze locked on her as if he wanted to devour her completely.
“Caitlin, do you want to guess what I’m thinking right now?”
His mind was filled with the touching words Caitlin had confessed earlier. Just thinking about them made his blood race. He didn’t want to do anything else now; all he wanted was to stay close to her, never to be apart.
“Let’s talk later. My senior brother will be coming soon.”
Caitlin knew what he wanted, but she wasn’t going to let him have his way. When his head moved toward hers, she pushed him away in time.
“Alright.”
Sebastian wasn’t in a rush anymore. Now that he knew her feelings, his heart was filled with a sense of security. He no longer felt anxious or fearful about losing her.
While they waited for Zeke, they talked about the events of the night.
“When did you run into Black Hawk?” Caitlin asked as Sebastian pulled her close.
“In the performance hall. He pretended to be a waiter and brought in the piano. When he left, he whispered ‘see you again‘ in my ear. I recognized his voice and followed him outside. I ran into the lounge and found the dead waiter there.”
“That was really lucky. He didn’t go after you.”
Sebastian held her tighter, still afraid of losing her.
