Chapter 553 It Cannot Be You
The Ferrari driven by Natalie sped along the highway like a red hurricane.
Joshua, who was on the road, thought that the driver was a man. When he took a better look to see the
driver, he realized the driver was the woman who had no extraordinary beauty but had bewitched his
good friend Christopher.
This womanâ¦
Previously, at Christopherâs birthday gathering, Joshua had been rather impressed by her.
Compared to those really beautiful women, she was plain but somehow she had stolen Christopherâs
heart.
Christopher used to be a playboy by nature and had had many girlfriends before but now he had refused
to meet all the other women even if there were the most beautiful women.
Joshua could see very well that Christopher had stopped sleeping around ever since he met this plain
woman.
Natalieâs mind was on Sophia and she did not pay any attention to Joshua who was in the car next to
hers. As soon as the red light turned green, she stepped on the accelerator and drove away quickly at a
speed which was obviously higher than the normal driving speed.
In the slightly more than ten seconds at the traffic lights, Joshua could see very clearly the sense of
urgency on Natalieâs face.
This woman must be facing some serious problems!
Instinctively, Joshua followed her car, at the same time calling Christopher by Bluetooth on his phone.
Beepâ¦
After a short while, Christopher picked up the phone.
âHelloâ¦â Christopherâs voice was very low.
âItâs me.â While tailing Natalieâs Ferrari, Joshua spoke slowly. âI just saw the chick you fancy. It seems
sheâs having some problems, so sheâs driving at an abnormally high speed.â
The chick I fancy?
Christopher blurted out, âNatalie?â
âYes, itâs her,â Joshua continued, âIâm following right behind her. After some thought, I decided to let you
know. Bro, if you wish, Iâll follow her. If not, Iâll drive away.â
Almost without thinking, Christopher replied, âYou follow her, but donât let her find out. Then, synchronize
your navigation with me, and I will come right now.â
This was the type of reply that Joshua was expecting.
Christopher had been a playboy, never thinking of being serious with any woman. However, when this
type of man fell in love, he fell really deeply and nothing could change him.
âAll right, I got it.â
About twenty minutes later, Natalie arrived at an abandoned warehouse near the snowfield.
She parked her car outside the warehouse, pushed open the iron door and walked in.
In the past, the warehouse must have been a temporary place for repair jobs on machines. The structure
was made of iron and electrical cables were laid down haphazardly with a few hanging light bulbs
flickering on and off, swaying with the wind blowing through the cracks in the iron walls.
There is a strong smell of motor oil in the warehouse, which is pungent and choking.
âSophia⦠Sophia⦠where are you?â
The warehouse was very large, and there were still many old machines and compartments left there.
The chaotic space made Natalieâs nerves rather tense.
Not long afterward, Natalie heard a squeaking sound, followed by a âboomâ like some object was
knocking against an iron drum.
Following the direction from which the sound came, Natalie moved slowly over to the source and found
that the sound came from a compartment in the deepest part of the warehouse.
âDo not think that just because you are Samuelâs daughter, I wonât dare to do anything to you. If you keep
screaming and shouting, Iâll really let you have it.â
âMmm⦠Mmmâ¦â
When she got closer, Natalie could hear clearly that it was the voice of Sophia.
âDonât do anything to the child! Youâre just using her as bait to force me to show up.â Natalie pushed
open the door of the compartment and strode in. âIâm here, let her go!â
When she pushed open the compartment door and saw the woman who was holding Sophia captive, her
pupils widened slightly in shock.
âM-M-Melissaâ¦â Natalieâs red lips parted slightly. âH-H-How could it be you?â
