Chapter 1260

Outside the villa, the midday sun made it feel scorching hot. Rory loosened his tie, losing patience. Adam noticed Rory's restless wristwatch-checking and understood he did not want to wait any longer. "Rorr, remember that Zoe has amnesia. She doesn't remember anything, and being with Kyle is probably due to his deception. We can't entirely blame her. Besides, she's pregnant now, and her health isn't as good as before. If—" Adam began to offer some words of caution, but Rory interrupted with a cold look. "If it weren't for her amnesia, I would have taken her life already." Rory looked at Adam and continued sternly, "Don't think I am clueless. Zoe never completely let go of her feelings for Kyle. During her time back at the castle, she often drowned herself in alcohol alone.” First was Mable, and now Zoe. These two women had been blinded by love, opposing him. Adam looked at Rory silently. Rory spoke the truth; Zoe was indeed in love with Kyle. In the past, back at the castle, Adam saw Zoe drinking herself. He even joined her twice to drink. Adam glanced at the villa and paused before speaking cautiously, "Have you thought that maybe Kyle won't hand Zoe over to us?" Rory remained silent, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. After a few more minutes, someone emerged from the villa. Rory chuckled. Adam breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Kyle carrying Zoe out. It seemed Rory had won the gamble. Kyle held Zoe, who lost consciousness due to the pain and walked up to Rory. "Rory, you've won." Kyle had given in. He could not risk Zoe's life even if it was giving Zoe to Rory, who was considered a dangerous man. Rory showed a victory expression and said, “The fuel in my cruise ship was used to bomb the church. Right now, I need a new cruise ship. When I leave the island, I will give her the antidote.” Adam walked forward and wanted to take over Zoe. “Let me hold her.” Kyle did not let go and held her tightly. “I will send you guys off.” After that, he instructed his people to prepare the cruise ship. Shortly, the cruise ship was ready. Kyle carried Zoe while Rory followed them to the port. Kyle carried Zoe to the cruise ship and looked at Rory and Adam. “What will you do to Zoe?” Rory replied, “Zoe is part of Secret. Regardless of what we do, you have no right to ask.” Kyle clenched his fists, and his knuckles cracked. "Rory, listen carefully. If anything happens to Zoe, I, Kyle, will not spare you. I'll stop at nothing, even destroying the entire Secret!" Rory looked at Zoe lying in bed and said in a calm tone, "Right now, you're wasting my time to save her." Kyle leaned down and kissed Zoe before turning and leaving the cruise ship. As soon as Kyle left, Adam ordered the ship to depart and arranged for a thorough check to ensure that Kyle had not secretly placed anyone else on board. On the shore, Kyle watched the departing cruise ship, his heart twisted with worry. ‘Zoe, please be safe.’ One of his assistants approached with a tablet, saying, "Sir, the tracking system has been activated." Kyle took the tablet, his eyes fixed on the blinking red dot. His eyes were filled with burning hatred.
