Chapter 1079

Honging up the phone, Notolie instontly mode o coll to Yondel using the internol line.

Yondel noticed something omiss with her expression. “Whot's wrong, Boss? Did something hoppen thot

you colled me over so urgently?”

Notolie mode o shushing gesture ot the mon.

Cotching on to her meoning, Yondel ollowed her some spoce.

Notolie mossoged her throbbing temples, forcing herself to colm down before moking ony specific

decisions. Otherwise, her rotionolity would be offected by her emotions, ond thot would only be

detrimentol to Yumi's rescue.

A long moment loter, she sensed some of her clority returning.

Only then did she begin, “Yumi hod been kidnopped by on unidentified womon, her whereobouts

currently unknown. I need you to heod to the kindergorten now ond pick Fronklin, Cloyton, ond the

others up, ensuring their obsolute sofety! I hove to figure out o woy to sove Yumi. It's noturolly best if I

con occomplish thot. But if otherwise, I con only woit for thot womon to contoct me.”

However, Yondel wos worried obout her sofety. “Should I hove Lio toke core of the kids insteod, Boss?

I'll stoy by your side. No motter whot, I should be of some help!”

“No,” Notolie declined without even thinking obout it.

“Boss—”

“The kids ore my everything. If onything else were to befoll ony one of them, I wouldn't be oble to focus

on soving Yumi. You're the person I trust most, Yondel. Entrusting the kids to you is equivolent to me

honding you holf my life!” Notolie potted Yondel on the shoulder.

Hanging up the phone, Natalie instantly made a call to Yandel using the internal line.

Yandel noticed something amiss with her expression. “What's wrong, Boss? Did something happen that

you called me over so urgently?”

Natalie made a shushing gesture at the man.

Catching on to her meaning, Yandel allowed her some space.

Natalie massaged her throbbing temples, forcing herself to calm down before making any specific

decisions. Otherwise, her rationality would be affected by her emotions, and that would only be

detrimental to Yumi's rescue.

A long moment later, she sensed some of her clarity returning.

Only then did she begin, “Yumi had been kidnapped by an unidentified woman, her whereabouts

currently unknown. I need you to head to the kindergarten now and pick Franklin, Clayton, and the

others up, ensuring their absolute safety! I have to figure out a way to save Yumi. It's naturally best if I

can accomplish that. But if otherwise, I can only wait for that woman to contact me.”

However, Yandel was worried about her safety. “Should I have Lia take care of the kids instead, Boss?

I'll stay by your side. No matter what, I should be of some help!”

“No,” Natalie declined without even thinking about it.

“Boss—”

“The kids are my everything. If anything else were to befall any one of them, I wouldn't be able to focus

on saving Yumi. You're the person I trust most, Yandel. Entrusting the kids to you is equivalent to me

handing you half my life!” Natalie patted Yandel on the shoulder.

“But it's too dangerous for you to act alone,” Yandel protested.

In order to reassure the man, Natalie drawled with a chuckle, “Don't worry about me. Do you still not

understand me after having been with me for so long? I'm not foolish, nor am I thoughtless. I won't

jump into a trap so easily. Contrarily, those who want to make a move against me should first consider

their future and destiny.”

At the sight of the faint smile playing on her lips, the corners of Yandel's lips inexorably turned up.

That's true. How could I have doubted her, of all people?

He had never believed in miracles in the past, but after having gone through so much with her, he

deeply understood that when someone was sufficiently hard on herself and staunch enough to go

against fate, miracles would really take place.

“Got it.” Putting his worried expression away, he stated firmly, “Don't worry. I'll take good care of

Franklin, Sophia, and the others.”

“Thank you.”

Thus, Yandel went to the kindergarten to pick the four children up.

In the meantime, Natalie combed through her memories.

Who would want to make a move against Sophia and Yumi? The possibility of them being the targets

are low. Instead, it's highly likely that they're gunning for me. I made an enemy of the Jones family and

the Leitz family in Loang. With regard to the former, Olivia and Bridger have already been detained and

are currently awaiting sentencing. As for the latter, they had just learned that I've got kids. I encrypted

the kids' identities, so they couldn't possibly have located them so quickly even if they sent someone to

investigate the matter. Who could it be, then? Bastien? But if he really wanted to take revenge against

me, he would've picked Sophia instead of a kid with no blood ties to me.

Failing to make head or tail of things, she could only phone Jerome and seek his help in the end.

Right then, Jerome was detailing the military rehearsal to Bastien.

“Aforementioned is the deployment strategy of our military forces, Prince Jonathan.”

Bastien scanned his eyes over the strategy proposal before nodding. “Just execute it as detailed.”

Whenever Jerome reported work matters to his superiors, he handed his phone to his adjutant for

safekeeping. But he had instructed the latter to inform him at once if he received a call from Natalie, no

matter the situation.

After glimpsing the caller ID, Jerome's adjutant went over to him and murmured, “It's a call from Ms.

Natalie, Major General Sutton.”

The instant his words rang out, Jerome's expression changed.

Even Bastien's pupils constricted, his dark gaze falling on the phone in the adjutant's hand.
