Chapter 1103

“I got it,” onswered Notolie.

“I guess you weren't bluffing ofter oll!” commented Zophie, who could not help but get emotionol. She

thought she could not get Notolie to do whot she wonted becouse Yumi wos not the womon's biologicol

doughter. Unexpectedly, everything worked out just fine. Not only will the jode key be mine, but I'll olso

exoct my revenge on Gole for sure!

“If you wont your doughter, meet me tonight,” uttered Zophie slowly. “Bring the jode key to the locotion I

sent you. If I see onyone with you, I'll immediotely detonote the bombs tied oround your doughter. I

hove no reoson to hurt her if you do os I soy. Give me the jode key, ond I promise the child will be

unhormed.”

“Fine. You hove my word,” promised Notolie without o second thought os soon os Zophie wos done

speoking.

“See you tonight.” With thot soid, Zophie ended the phone coll.

Notolie norrowed her olmond-shoped eyes os she put the jode key replicoted by Vorre into her pocket.

After thot, she colled Billy over to tell him her plon.

“Isn't thot o bit too risky, Mrs. Bowers?” Billy's eyes widened in shock ofter he listened to Notolie.

“Billy, do you remember whot Mr. Bowers told you before he left?” questioned Notolie cosuolly.

“I got it,” answered Natalie.

“I guess you weren't bluffing after all!” commented Zophie, who could not help but get emotional. She

thought she could not get Natalie to do what she wanted because Yumi was not the woman's biological

daughter. Unexpectedly, everything worked out just fine. Not only will the jade key be mine, but I'll also

exact my revenge on Gale for sure!

“If you want your daughter, meet me tonight,” uttered Zophie slowly. “Bring the jade key to the location I

sent you. If I see anyone with you, I'll immediately detonate the bombs tied around your daughter. I

have no reason to hurt her if you do as I say. Give me the jade key, and I promise the child will be

unharmed.”

“Fine. You have my word,” promised Natalie without a second thought as soon as Zophie was done

speaking.

“See you tonight.” With that said, Zophie ended the phone call.

Natalie narrowed her almond-shaped eyes as she put the jade key replicated by Varre into her pocket.

After that, she called Billy over to tell him her plan.

“Isn't that a bit too risky, Mrs. Bowers?” Billy's eyes widened in shock after he listened to Natalie.

“Billy, do you remember what Mr. Bowers told you before he left?” questioned Natalie casually.

Billy remembered, but he did not answer the woman.

“Before Samuel left, he said I'd be in charge when he was away, which means I get to decide what you

do. When I give you an order, you do your best to execute it without flaws,” reminded Natalie, who was

beautiful like a flower yet firm like a tree.

Although Billy worried for Natalie's well-being, he knew there was nothing he could say to change her

mind when he saw the determination in her eyes. “Yes, Mrs. Bowers.”

“Good.”

Meanwhile, in a warehouse on the docks, Yumi shook her head relentlessly as she watched Zophie

strap powerful explosives to her legs. “No! No!”

“Isn't everyone in the Jankovich family supposed to be strong?” mocked Zophie with hatred and

condescendence in her eyes. “How are you so weak? Your biological mother never begged for mercy

even though she was whipped more than a hundred times. On the other hand, you're already scared

out of your mind when I did nothing but tie explosives to you.”

The Jankovich family?

Yumi's eyes widened as she gazed at Zophie in disbelief. She had never mentioned her last name

since her mother had warned her not to do so.

Yumi was told that her last name would only invite disasters, so she was not to reveal her true identity

after escaping to Chanaea.

Because of that, even Natalie, who adopted Yumi and treated the girl like her own, was unaware of

who Yumi really was.

Yumi could not help but wonder how the woman before her knew not only that she was a Jankovich but

also that her mother had been whipped.

“Why would my mother be whipped?” Yumi suddenly flew into a rage like a wild beast when her mother

was brought up, acting completely different from her indifferent and stubborn self in the past two days.

If it were not for Yumi's young age, Zophie would have been stunned by the girl's reaction.

Looking at the agitated Yumi, Zophie furrowed her eyebrows. So what if she's furious? She's still just a

five-year-old child. This girl... is also related to Gale's death!

“You really want to know how your mother was injured, huh? Lucky for you, nobody knows more about

it than I do.” Zophie snickered. “That's because I was the one on the other end of the whip. I saw with

my own eyes how bloodied and wounded your mother was.”
