My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 691

Erin immediately inquired, “What's this Plan B? Haven't we failed?”

Keira turned to her, “What exactly did we accomplish?”

Erin scrutinized the two of them. They had done nothing more than travel a long distance, arriving here only to witness Professor Barry Brandt being captured.

Erin frowned, and after a moment of thought, she seemed to understand. “So, it's all a diversion! The real rescue mission must have already been set in motion!”

Lewis checked the time and nodded. “Everyone knows the quickest route from Country A to Crera is through this river, so it's heavily guarded here. But Professor Brandt took a different route.”

Erin's eyes widened in realization. “Another route would take a whole day by sea and pass through a dangerous strait. No one would expect him to go that way… Lewis, you're quite cunning!”

Lewis gave her a sidelong glance but didn't respond. Instead, he turned his gentle gaze to Keira and explained, “Professor Brandt has just boarded a ship and left Crera. He'll likely return to Crera around this time tomorrow.”

Keira nodded in understanding.

Erin, however, scoffed. “I doubt Professor Brandt will make it back.”

Keira looked at her. “Why do you think that?”

Erin pulled out her phone, opened a map, and showed it to Keira. “Are you familiar with maritime routes? Although this river is the shortest route from Crera, the authorities there are aware that Professor Brandt might choose an alternative route. But they haven't fortified the other direction because it involves the Trident Strait!”

She pointed to a location on the map.

Keira stared at it, puzzled. “The Trident Strait?”

Erin's disdain was palpable. “Don't you know anything? The world's largest surface is the ocean. Maritime routes are crucial for global trade.”

Keira nodded. “I'm aware of that.”
