Chapter 1083 You Threatened Me First
Yumi must have been terrified when she was kidnapped by the woman! Besides the fact that Blaze was a crime syndicate involved in all sorts of immoral activities, Zophie was sounding like a crazy woman over the phone.
As such, Natalie was extremely worried about Yumi’s current situation. She tightened her grip on her phone as a determined gaze flashed across her eyes. “I’m the one you’re after. Let the kid go and don’t hurt her! Otherwise, not only would you not get the key, I’ll make sure you and your organization pay a terrible price for this!”
Although they were just speaking over the phone, Zophie could not help but feel slightly intimidated by Natalie.
“Natalie, I’ve already said that I don’t care whether the child lives or dies. I only care about getting the jade key.” Zophie raised her voice as she continued, “Give me the jade key and I’ll let the child live. If you don’t give it to me or play any tricks, I’ll make sure you never see the girl again. Not only that, I’ll make sure she dies a painful death!”
Zophie did not sound like she was joking. As Natalie was worried that Zophie would get too agitated and end up hurting Yumi, she replied without hesitation, “Yup! I have the jade key. I will give it to you, but I want to hear Yumi’s voice now to make sure that she’s still safe!”
There was silence on the other end of the line, and Zophie seemed to be hesitating.
However, Natalie was not intending to back down. “Zophie, since you are holding the child hostage to threaten me, you have to let me know that she’s safe! If I can’t be sure that you have not harmed her, not only would I not give you the key, but I would also destroy it so that you and your organization can forget about having it ever!”
Natalie had set a clear bottom line. She could always get the key back again after losing it. However, if something bad happened to Yumi, it would be irreversible!
“All right then. I’ll let you hear her voice,” Zophie finally replied. A few seconds after rustling sounds sounded through the phone, Natalie heard the girl speaking in between sobs. “Mommy…”
“Yumi, are you okay?” Natalie’s voice softened instantly. “Mommy, I’m fine,” Yumi reassured Natalie, trying her best to control her emotions as she did not want her mother to worry. “Tell me the truth.”
