Chapter 550 Black List
“Of course.” The woman didn’t deny Natalie’s claim. “But how your little girl fares will depend on you. It will depend on how far you’re willing to go for her.”
Natalie was sure she was the kidnapper’s target.
“I’m willing to do anything. Tell me what I have to do,” Natalie answered without even a bit of hesitation.
“I’ll 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, I’ll kill your precious little girl right away.”
The woman spoke slowly and arrogantly. Her distorted voice sounded like a witch.
“Do you think your relationship with Samuel will still be the same with Sophia’s death? So come alone and don’t disappoint me. Let me have some fun. Don’t make a decision you’ll regret.”
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. “Boss, what happened to your arm? Let me treat it for you.”
“Leave it. I did it to myself.”
Under his stunned gaze, she said, “Sophia’s kidnappers contacted me earlier. She wanted me to meet her privately. I can’t bring anyone with me, including you and Samuel.”
“You’re going alone? You’re digging your own grave!”
“I know.”
She wasn’t 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.
“Boss, you-”
“Don’t be so pessimistic.” The corners of her lips quirked into a knowing smile. “Everyone has weaknesses, so does she. “I’m 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?
“The boys must have told Samuel too if I knew about it. Knowing him, he’ll 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.”
Stopping Samuel was the most difficult task of all in Yandel’s 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.
“Got it.”
“The next thing I need your help is…”
Yandel’s 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.
“Give me the keys to your car.”
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 Sophia’s 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 Natalie’s 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.
