Chapter 134: More Harm than Good
The moment Daniel, struggling nearby, grabbed the long pole, Annie thrust violently, driving the pole into his chest…
The dark red blood instantly spread across the sea surface.
Daniel looked at her in shock and dismay, his eyes filled with resentment and defiance.
The next second.
Annie let go, screaming in panic:
“Help me…”
By the time the bodyguard brought people, Daniel had already disappeared on the sea.
Only a pool of dark red liquid, still floating on the sea and not yet dispersed, could be seen.
Everyone was shocked.
Annie turned pale with fright, covering her face and starting to cry:
“I told him to hold on, but he insisted on pulling hard, accidentally stabbing himself in the process, and then he let go of the long pole and it sank.”
“What to do, quickly save him…”
One of the bodyguards, who was the leader among them, looked very upset at the sight.

“It probably wasn’t looking good, send someone to retrieve it first, I’ll inform Mr. Clement about this matter.”
A person died in their hands, not even leaving a body behind, there was no way to explain it to Pierce.
“I went with you guys.”
Annie said with red eyes.
Returned to Pierce’s room.
He hadn’t woken up yet, the doctor came out from inside with a grave expression on his face, speaking to Camille:
“Mr. Clement’s condition was very bad, he seemed to have been hit, his brain also suffered a heavy blow, he needed to go to the hospital for examination immediately.”
Camille was a bit nervous, “But…”
Annie took a step forward:
“Just listen to the doctor, Mr. Clement’s health is what matters most.”
Camille saw her and nodded.
The bodyguard next to him also thought that Pierce’s body was more important:
“Ms. Clement, we had someone turn the ship around immediately. As for retrieving Daniel’s body, we left people behind to handle it.”
Camille’s face changed, she lifted her head:
“Daniel’s corpse?”
She looked at Annie in disbelief.
Chapter 134 More Harm than Good
Annie’s face turned pale, she weakly lowered her head.
The bodyguard next to him spoke up:
“When Ms. Stapleton went to see him, he took Ms. Stapleton hostage, but accidentally slipped and fell into the sea, with little hope of survival.”
Fell into the sea by accident?
A few words caused Camille’s complexion to change several times.
Couldn’t describe what the feeling was.
She had previously worried that if Daniel woke up, it would involve her.
So, is he dead now?
Camille was flustered, feeling waves of icy numbness on her back.
A terrifying, forest–cold feeling suddenly arose.
Her breathing had become somewhat labored.
She looked at Annie’s frail appearance, her fear growing increasingly
intense.
The person who was even more worried about Daniel betraying than she was, was Annie.
She actively sought out Daniel, it definitely wasn’t that simple.
Annie was implicated in his death.
At that moment, Camille understood everything, but she couldn’t say a word.
Chapter 134. More Harm than Good
She and Annie were two peas in a pod.
Her eyes flustered for a few seconds, then she hastily nodded:
“Alright, you arrange it, return to the hospital as soon as possible.”
‘She didn’t want to stay on this cruise ship anymore either, it had cast a shadow over her.
That night.
The cruise ship returned to the port.
Pierce was taken to the hospital.
Camille, on the other hand, returned to the Clement’s Place, didn’t say a word, and came down with a high fever.
Annie, on the other hand, was constantly taking care of Pierce in the hospital.
Time passed day by day.
The news of Sophia’s accident could no longer be concealed.
After all, many people who went there that day had returned, except for Sophia and Derick.
The people of Pierce had stopped the search and rescue, with no results for two days and one night.
Everyone felt that hope was fading, like finding a needle in a haystack, it was simply a waste of effort.
Very quickly.
The Cruise family learned about this matter, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Chapter 134 More Harm than Good
Brycen had fainted several times, his complexion was terribly poor.
Kylan also mobilized quite a few people to inquire about the situation at that time.
Contrary to her usual demeanor, Cecilia calmly took Kylan to the hospital where Pierce was.
The floor where Pierce was located was heavily guarded.
He had not yet woken up, and the members of the Clement family had taken turns to visit him, after all, his affairs were closely related to the interests of the Clement Group.
Seeing it was Kylan, Ava thought they were there to visit the sick, so she didn’t have anyone stop them.
When she saw Kylan and Cecilia appear together, she was stunned for a moment, then put on a polite and eager smile to greet them:
“Did Mrs. Cruise and Mr. Cruise come together? Thank you so much, it’s a pity that Pierce hasn’t woken up yet…”
Pierce lived in a suite, and he himself was in a room inside. Generally, those who came to visit him when he was sick would not disturb him.
Cecilia looked terrible, she really couldn’t muster a smile. She glanced at Camille who was sitting there, her eyes flashing.
“We were also upset that such a thing happened, but where on earth was Sophia?”
Upon hearing this name, Camille shuddered.
It seemed like a stress response.
Kylan’s face was serious. Having struggled in the business world for a
Chapter 134, More Harm than Good
long time, he had learned to speak behind several masks.
He laughed casually, easing the atmosphere:
“Mrs. Clement, my mother was quite concerned about Sophia’s whereabouts. She went at Mr. Clement’s invitation, so why hasn’t she come back?”
Ava felt unlucky whenever she heard this name.
Knowing she might be dead, he was just short of setting off fireworks in celebration!
How could they still waste manpower and resources to salvage at sea?
She immediately persuaded Kamden to call everyone back.
Ava rolled her eyes:
“Who knows? We heard it accidentally fell into the sea. We, the Clement family, even felt it was bad luck!”
People were sent to search at sea for several days, and the rescue costs were like running water.
“I really didn’t expect her to die on our Clement family’s territory, and that cruise ship was newly purchased by us. How are we supposed to use it now?”
She only worried about these materialistic things in her heart.
Cecilia’s complexion was becoming increasingly worse:
“A life, just taken so lightly by you? You really have quite the nerve?”
“Mrs. Cruise, what do you mean? We didn’t want this to happen either!”
Chapter 134. More Harm than Good
Ava said discontentedly,
She had always been somewhat resistant to Cecilia, perhaps it was because she looked down on Cecilia before, but now she couldn’t compare to Cecilia.
But in Cecilia’s eyes, she had never looked at herself properly!
Cecilia was clearly there to visit the sick, but her attitude was somewhat off. How could Ava possibly be satisfied?
Cecilia ignored Ava and turned to walk towards Camille.
She looked at Camille, her voice softening a bit:
“Ms. Clement, do you remember Sophia, who once donated bone marrow to you?”
Derick was also gone, what on earth happened to them?
“You were on the cruise ship at that time, you must know what happened, right?”
Unaware that Cecilia’s words had hurt Camille, her eyes instantly
turned red.
The whole body involuntarily began to tremble, burying the head in the crook of the arm.
She bit her lower lip tightly, unable to utter a single word.
Sophia, who had once donated bone marrow, and Derick, whom she had always admired, were both dead!
She was unwilling to recall those memories that she could never forget, even in death.

Chapter 134 More Harm than Good
She would be haunted by nightmares all her life!
Cecilia became increasingly anxious.
Annie walked out of Pierce’s hospital room, her face pale but composed, her voice gentle and hoarse:
“I knew, I told you.”
