Snare of Love novel Chapter 348

A man who had followed Cody stood on the deck of the boat and pointed at Armand who was searching for Theresa Gordon in the sea.

Cody looked over and it looked like a person. Now he desperately needed to find out where Phoebe Lewis was. It was good for him to have someone alive now and he asked someone to drive the boat over.

Armand and he knew each other, but hadn’t dealt with each other much and hadn’t paid any money. They were just strangers who knew each other.

He stood at the bow of the boat, got a good look at the person in the water and shouted, “Where’s Phoebe?”

Armand tilted his head and the water droplets running down his hair blurred his vision, but he could vaguely see his appearance and knew that the person coming was Cody, “Help me to find someone and I’ll tell you where she was.”

Cody sneered, “You’re in such a situation now, how can you still negotiate with me? If I don’t save you, you’ll die here.”

How could he have come all of a sudden?

Something must have happened and it had something to do with Phoebe, so that’s why he had come here to look for her.

“I only have this one condition. If you don’t agree, I’ve no choice indeed. However, you’ll also never know her whereabouts.”

He thought for a moment. Since the relationship between Armand and Matthew Nelson wasn’t a secret and now his father had a business cooperation with Matthew, he was afraid that there would be repercussions if Armand really died as he didn’t save him.

Moreover, he couldn’t afford to make any more trouble as now that company was in trouble because of Phoebe.

“Okay, I’ll help you to find the person.” He had come to catch Phoebe, so he had brought a number of people with keen swimming skills.

“Who are you looking for?” he asked.

“Woman,” Armand said.

He seemed to read the subtlety and he waved his hand for the men to jump into the sea, “Do your best to find someone.”

It was indeed difficult to find a person in the vast ocean. The more time that passed, the slimmer the hope of being rescued.

They expanded their search grid.

Suddenly someone shouted, “There’s someone here!”

Armand swam over quickly and his heart beating faster as he got closer. He felt anticipative and fearful at the same time, expecting it was Theresa while fearing that she had …

When he got closer, he slowly saw the face. Even though the soaked hair covered most of the face, he still felt it was Theresa.

He pushed the man away, hugged her and swam towards the boat that was resting not far away.

With the help of several people, she was rescued to the boat. He gently put her down and reached out to feel her heart. There was still a faint heartbeat, “Drive the boat quickly!”

He yelled.

Cody took a look at him and told the men to veer around.

“Dry clothes.”

Armand stripped the jacket down on Cody.

He was stunned for two seconds, then yelled, “Are you nuts?”

“Give me the clothes.” It was too cold now and he was afraid that she would freeze. His clothes were the only ones that were dry since everyone had gone into the water.

Cody asked incredulously with his eyes open, “Are you gay?”

Armand cursed, “Fuck you.”

He roughly took the clothes off his body and he went back to Theresa again, wrapping her with the outer cover, praying inwardly, “You’ll be fine, you’ll be fine. You’ll be alright, please.”

He knelt on one knee and his mind was still flashing back her calm and determined look to die when she was standing on the plywood.

“Holy shit.” Cody realized that there was unexploded bomb on her. Could they have blown up?

The boat blew up because Phoebe wanted to kill Armand and Theresa, so she pressed the detonator, not the bomb on Theresa’s body. In fact, Armand cut the right wire and the numbers were fixed at the end, thus it didn’t explode.

“Throw it out quickly!” Cody yelled and started to become incoherent. It was a bomb after all. Who knew if it would explode after that.

“Throw her out?” someone asked.

“Throw the bomb away! Stupid!” he was grumpy.

When the man who had been called stupid by him was about to touch the bomb on her, Armand jerked his head up and stared viciously, “Don’t touch her!”

“I’m not touching her, I just want to …” He pointed at the bomb on her body.
