With red eyes, Nanako Ito nodded and turned to Jasmine, who was cradling the puppy. Her voice trembled as she said, “Sister Jasmine, I wish you a safe journey. If you get the chance, pleasee to Tokyo to visit me!”


    Jasmine quickly responded, “Don’t worry, I definitely will! And if you have time, you shoulde to Aurous Hill to see me and Charlie!”


    Feeling a spark of joy, Nanako Ito replied without hesitation, “Sister, I promise to visit you once I finish this trip!”


    Just then, a middle-aged man stepped off the boat and addressed Takehiko Ito with respect, saying, “Sir, we are ready to set sail at any moment.”


    Yuhiko Ito inquired, “Where is Hashimoto?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The man responded, “Hashimoto has been secured in the cabin, restrained. I have assigned someone to keep an eye on him, so there won’t be any issues.”


    Ito nodded in satisfaction and turned to Charlie, saying, “Mr. Wade, you and Miss Moore can board the ship now!”


    Charlie replied, “You all should head back too; we’re leaving!”


    Yuihiko Ito shook hands with Charlie, while Nanako Ito shared a gentle hug with Jasmine.


    Later, Jasmine approached Ito Takehiko once more, expressing sincerely, “Mr. Ito, thank you for your kindness during my time in Japan!”


    Yuihiko Ito chuckled and shook Jasmine’s hand, saying earnestly, “Miss Moore, please don’t hesitate with the Ito family. You and Mr. Wade will always be esteemed guests of ours!”


    At that moment, Nanako Ito approached Charlie, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.


    As she gazed at Charlie, she cautiously opened her arms, hoping to gauge his reaction.


    Longing to hug Charlie in farewell but anxious about his response, she opted for this subtle gesture as a trial.


    Seeing Charlie smile and extend his hand towards her, Nanako Ito quickly moved in, embracing him tightly without uttering a word.


    Deep down, Nanako had so much she wanted to share with Charlie, but in front of her father and Jasmine, those thoughts remained unspoken.


    They held the embrace for a moment until Ito Yuhiko cleared his throat, prompting Nanako to reluctantly step back. “Charlie, take care!” she said, a hint of sadness in her voice.


    Charlie nodded and bade farewell to the father and daughter before stepping onto the boat with Jasmine.


    The cruise ship was impressivelyrge, featuring three upper decks and three lower decks. The top deck even boasted a freshwater swimming pool, far more luxurious than the vessel Lord Moore had gifted to Charlie.


    Once aboard, Charlie and Jasmine headed straight to the top deck, where they leaned against the guardrail, waving to Ito Takehiko and Nanako Ito on the dock below. Charlie called out, “It’s gettingte, and the sea breeze is getting colder. Let’s hurry back!” Nanako Ito nodded and instructed her servant to help her father into the car. She settled into the vehicle but chose to wait, wanting to see the boat leave and watch Charlie depart.


    At that moment, a sleek business car with tinted windows pulled up from the dock’s entrance, passing by the Ito family’s convoy as it continued on its way.


    Inside the three-row business car, a beautiful woman sat in the middle row, her expression a mix of struggle and pain. This woman was Xion. She was still grappling with the shame of her escape. The thought of the more than fifty followers she had brought with her facing severe penalties under Japanesew filled her with both shame and bitterness.


    Xion harbored hatred for the man who had deceived her and her followers at Osaka Airport that day. She vividly remembered his face and vowed that if given the chance, she would take her revenge for her brothers!


    As she clenched her teeth in determination, the driver announced, “Miss Banks, our ship is just ahead, and we’re ready to set sail!”


    Xion turned to glimpse the ship that would take her out of Japan. Suddenly, she caught sight of a man standing on the deck of the nearby cruise ship!<fn7b20> Discover more novels at Find_Novel(.</fn7b20>


    In an instant, Xion’s pupils dted, her expression turning fiercely vengeful!


    Through gritted teeth, she murmured, “So it’s him! What a twist of fate!”
