Chapter 550 Black List âOf course.â The woman didnât deny Natalieâs claim. âBut how your little girl fares will depend on you. It will depend on how far youâre willing to go for her.â
Natalie was sure she was the kidnapperâs target.
âIâm willing to do anything. Tell me what I have to do,â Natalie answered without even a bit of hesitation.
âIâll give you an address. I want you to come to the address. Only you alone and no one else. If I find out you have Samuel or someone else following you, Iâll kill your precious little girl right away.â
The woman spoke slowly and arrogantly. Her distorted voice sounded like a witch.
âDo you think your relationship with Samuel will still be the same with Sophiaâs death? So come alone and donât disappoint me.
Let me have some fun. Donât make a decision youâll regret.â
The woman ended the call after that.
This woman is a maniac!
She kidnapped Sophia because the latter was an easier target compared to the boys. Besides, she wanted to drive a wedge in my relationship with Samuel by using Sophia as bait. Guilt will engulf me if something happens to Sophia.
Feeling the pain in her arm, she remained clear-headed.
Without treating the wound on her arm, she shot to her feet and left her office.
Yandel met Natalie in the hallway once he finished assigning tasks to his men. Noticing the bleeding wound on her arm, he frowned. âBoss, what happened to your arm? Let me treat it for you.â
âLeave it. I did it to myself.â
Under his stunned gaze, she said, âSophiaâs kidnappers contacted me earlier. She wanted me to meet her privately. I canât bring anyone with me, including you and Samuel.â
âYouâre going alone? Youâre digging your own grave!â
âI know.â
She wasnât dumb. She was aware Sophia was just a bait while she was the target. If she went, it was almost a certainty that she would die. Despite knowing that, she would still go and save Sophia.
âBoss, you-â
âDonât be so pessimistic.â The corners of her lips quirked into a knowing smile. âEveryone has weaknesses, so does she. âIâm uncertain about her identity, but I just have to bet my life on it. I need your help with two tasks. Both are crucial, so you have to follow my words to the book. Understand?
âThe boys must have told Samuel too if I knew about it. Knowing him, heâll follow me. I need you to stop him no matter what. He and his men are good at what they do, but I worry Sophia will get hurt from the altercation.â
Stopping Samuel was the most difficult task of all in Yandelâs mind. There was a possibility of accidentally hurting Samuel in the process.
However, Yandel knew Natalie well enough, so he still agreed to help her despite the difficulty in the task.
âGot it.â
âThe next thing I need your help is...â
Yandelâs expression turned dour once she finished.
The second task was slightly easier than the first. The problem was it was related to the most crucial bit of the whole plan.
âGive me the keys to your car.â
Natalie took the elevator to the parking lot and got in the red Ferrari. A stomp at the pedal and the sports car zoomed out of the parking lot and across the streets.
Natalie knew Samuel very well.
Samuel got a call about Sophiaâs disappearance from Franklin halfway through his meeting.
He contacted Natalie almost immediately, but his calls kept getting declined.
Rising from his seat at the head of the table, he gave Natalieâs number a few more tries but ended up with the same outcome.
On his fifth call, he was greeted with an empty, cold mechanical voice.
He knew Natalie had not only declined his calls but had blocked him.
