Chapter 523: What a Scheming Woman!
Ella furrowed her brows. "Do you really have to kill me?"
"Not kill you? Then what—let you live? Ha! The only reason I didn’t act sooner was because of your gun. But now, I have nothing to fear. Besides... if no one comes here in the next few days, killing you means I get all the bread. At least I won’t starve to death," Logan sneered. In a life-or-death situation, food was the most important thing.
If his opponents died, that meant more supplies for him.
Ella pressed her lips together. Fortunately, she had been cautious. Otherwise, if this guy had pulled some underhanded trick, she would have been caught off guard.
A direct confrontation was far better than a sneak attack—especially since she hadn’t actually lost her gun.
Ella let out a soft, amused laugh. Her voice was light and gentle. "I knew I wasn’t wrong. The Scott family... it’s really hard to find a decent person among you. Except for that Logan with no sense of scheming, the rest of you are nothing but heartless. Logan, I’ll give you a piece of advice—put down your weapon and leave. I’ll spare your life."
Suddenly, a realization struck her—maybe the plane running out of fuel was a lie.
She didn’t understand aircraft, so she had no way of knowing if he was telling the truth. She also had no idea what tricks he might have pulled.
Logan must be familiar with every island along this flight path, right? After all, he’d been here for years. How could he not know the area like the back of his hand?
He must have deliberately landed here, waiting for the right moment to make his move against her.
The more Ella thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Thankfully, she had never completely let down her guard. She had never fully trusted this Logan.
