Chapter 819:
He had thought Callum was involved as well, but it turned out he wasn’t. Once he realized that, Kaiden felt genuinely relieved.
“You’re all safe, and that’s what matters.” Dina’s voice was filled with relief, her eyes momentarily glistening with emotion.
The dazzling fireworks show concluded, marking the end of an eventful and stressful evening. The resort staff finally had a chance to unwind.
The guests were thoroughly impressed. Despite the last-minute announcement of the fireworks display, they were delighted. Some even suggested that the resort should host regular fireworks shows, praising this one as the most spectacular they had ever witnessed. Unbeknownst to them, the true horrors of the night remained hidden.
The following morning, the Harris Group arranged for the guests attending their annual gala to board a ship and return.
When Monica finally spotted Austin again, she nearly burst into tears of frustration.

Austin glanced at Monica coldly and said to his mother, “No, nothing happened p>
He knew when his mother was lying. But since Maggie had just defended Monica, Austin chose not to elaborate further.
Maggie sensed Austin’s reluctance to speak in front of Monica, so she remained silent.
Once Monica had left, Maggie asked more pointedly, “Tell me, did something happen last night p>
Austin had no intention of keeping secrets from Maggie. When she inquired, he answered candidly, “Yes p>
He quickly explained the events of the previous night to Maggie. Though he recounted the details briefly, it was enough to make Maggie break out in a cold sweat.
Maggie felt her legs weaken and gripped Austin’s hand for support, fearing she might collapse otherwise.
“If you hadn’t caught those criminals last night, and we had been at the resort’s entrance, we might have run into them…” Maggie reflected, now understanding why he had been so upset.
