Chapter 166 An Ambush
How could this be?
Propping herself up, Natalie looked at the driver and immediately determined that something was wrong with the taxi.
Who’s behind this?
She tried her best to keep a low profile over the years, but it seemed to have failed as someone was now targeting her.
“Give up, you ugly b*tch. There is no way you can’t fight this potent drug with your willpower.”
Natalie secretly felt around on her calf and popped a white pill into her mouth before losing consciousness.
With a thud, she blacked out on the backseat.
The man in the driver’s seat waited for her to become unconscious before taking off his cap, revealing a thuggish appearance.
He then made a call and said, “Madam, everything is going according to plan. The woman has passed out like a log now. I’ll make sure to erase all traces of her from this world. Don’t forget the reward you promised us because we want not a penny less than the agreed amount. Now, sit back and relax, Madam. I’ll make sure everything goes off without a hitch.”
The man glanced at the rear-view mirror and began to study Natalie’s appearance.
He initially thought that Mandy wanted him to abduct a beautiful girl, so he even planned to have some fun with his friends before carrying out his task, but to his disappointment, the freckles on her face disgusted him.
Hence, he decided to skip the fun and proceed with getting rid of Natalie.
The fake taxi drove down to the west riverbank in Dellmoor.
As soon as it reached the designated shoreline, the car stopped.
The driver opened the backseat door, allowing two other men to grab Natalie and toss her onto the damp, moldy ground like a sandbag.
“Should we tie her up?” one of the men suggested.
“Why? It’s a waste of effort.” The driver lit a cigarette and put it between his lips. “This woman will still be too weak to fight back by the time she comes round. We can throw her into the river later. Even if the water wakes her up, I doubt she will have the strength to swim back here.”
“That’s true,” the other men agreed in unison.
As his cigarette burned out, the driver threw its butt on the ground and stomped it out with his cheap pleather shoes.
He ordered, “Alright. Let’s finish our job. Also, remember to record a video of me throwing this woman into the river, so we can use it as proof when collecting our reward money.”
“Okay.”
The driver then patted Natalie on the cheeks, but the latter remained unconscious and did not respond.
There was an amused chuckle in his voice as he said to himself, “It seems that this drug works really well. I’ll have to buy more next time.”
After confirming Natalie was unconscious, the driver grabbed her arms and flung her into the river.
Water splashed out mightily from the river.
Natalie’s body sank under the water right away.
Even so, the men did not leave; They patiently stood by the river as they knew it would not take long for an adult to drown.
“That ugly woman should be dead by now.” Seeing that they had completed the task, the driver waved at his accomplices. “Alright. Let’s clean up the car and everything. We’ll flee this place after collecting the money.”
“Alright!” The men shared a satisfied look before getting into two separate cars and leaving the scene.
Little did they know that tiny air bubbles had gradually emerged on the surface of the river.
Meanwhile, Xavian was struck dumb upon seeing the red alert from a program on his computer.
How can this be? The GPS shows that Mommy went all the way from her workplace to a riverbank! What’s worse is that her last known location is actually in the river!
