A Cue for Love novel Chapter 1104

Chapter 1104 What Her Mother Had Been Through

Although Yumi knew that her mother had already passed away, her eyes could not help welling up when she heard what her mother had been through before dying. “Mom…”

When Zophie saw tears rolling down Yumi’s cheeks, her lips curled up into another smirk. She could not be more pleased with herself for having broken the angry child and regaining control of the situation. “Why did you do that to my mother?” questioned Yumi at the top of her lungs.

“She didn’t have to die, you know? However, she refused to play nice!” Zophie grabbed Yumi by the chin while recalling the night she had tortured the girl’s mother. “If she had just handed your family’s treasure over, King probably would’ve let her live. She just wouldn’t tell us what we wanted to know because she was convinced that her death could keep us from finding you and the jade key!

Do you think she’d regret being tortured for so long if she knew you’d eventually fall into my hands and that Natalie would obediently hand the jade key to me like a dog?”

Yumi’s eyes were already filled with tears at that point. Her hatred for Zophie was clearly visible in them. Unwilling to let Zophie pinch her chin, Yumi tried to bite the woman’s hand, but she evaded her.

“I won’t fall for the same trick twice, you little brat!” Zophie lifted her hand again to give the girl a hard slap. “You’d better remember your place; you’re nothing but a bargaining chip and bait for me to lure out Natalie. So don’t even think about avenging your two mothers! I’d save my breath if I were you. Be a good girl, and I might just let you die beside Natalie.”

Yumi’s cheek was in pain. She regretted asking Natalie to come. If Mommy comes here, she’ll lose not only the jade key but also her life! I’ve already lost my biological mother; I can’t afford to lose Mommy too!

Since Yumi got her hands and legs tied up and her communication device taken away, she had no way of informing Natalie.

At that moment, she hated the fact that she was only a weak five-year-old child. If I were bigger and stronger, I’d be able to protect myself and others!

Meanwhile, Natalie was already driving an ordinary car to Moon Harbor, which was located on the north side of Yaleview.

As the largest port in the world, Moon Harbor had five times more imports and exports than the one in Chanaea.

Zophie only asked Natalie to meet her in the forest of containers, as it would be less likely for them to be followed or monitored.
