Tobias paused for an instant, his eyes flashing. Then, he continued to stride forward.
His straight back was extremely stiff.
Natalie was taken to the meeting room.
At least, the bodyguards were very polite to her as they led her inside.
Natalie's heart was burning with anxiety.
The only thing on her mind was Sebastian's whereabouts.
After all, she had heard rumours about Sebastian's tactics before.
Although he wouldn't use them on her, it was possible that he would use them to deal with Sebastian.
Sebastian was nothing but a powerless scholar. How would he be able to withstand Tobias' torment?
Helplessly, Natalie thought of Yvonne.
Now that Yvonne was in the entertainment industry and had managed to garner some fame, she should have some connections.
Although she didn't want to get Yvonne involved, there was no other way out.
Natalie dialed Yvonne's number.
The call was quickly answered.
"Natalie, what's the matter?" Yvonne's voice was joyous, as if she was very happy.
Natalie cut to the chase and said, "Yvonne, Sebastian was kidnapped. Is there anything you can do to help?"
Yvonne was speechless.
"Natalie, are you having a high fever today?" Yvonne asked tentatively.
It was Natalie's turn to be at a loss.
"No, I'm not. It's not a good time to joke. Sebastian's probably in danger now."
Yvonne was at a loss again.
On the other end, she answered helplessly, "Natalie, Sebastian is with me now. We were just eating and chatting. He just went to the bathroom a minute ago. Are you trying to tell me that he's been kidnapped in just a minute?"
Natalie could not believe it.
Her mind went blank.
Sebastian and Yvonne were together...
"He's with you?" Natalie asked in surprise.
"That's right. Didn't you tell me that Sebastian came back? He can now be considered a famous scriptwriter. After my director found out that we were classmates, he asked me to invite Sebastian to the filming site to ask him about the script. We were just discussing about it."
Natalie was befuddled.
After Shaney found her in a hurry, coupled with what Tobias had said last night, she'd immediately jumped to the conclusion that Tobias had kidnapped Sebastian. But she didn't expect that it was not true...She had made a massive mistake.
"Yvonne, why didn't you tell me?"
Yvonne felt dizzy. "Natalie, are you even interested in this script? I didn't think to tell you this. Could it be that you're suddenly interested in being a scriptwriter?"
Natalie suddenly had a deep sense of powerlessness surge inside her.
"Forget it."
"Natalie, are you okay?"
"It's all right. You go on researching the script. Tell Sebastian to call his aunt, she's worried about him," Natalie reminded.
After hanging up the phone, Natalie plopped into a seat weakly.
After all the shouting and shrieking, it turned out that Sebastian had gone to Yvonne's place.
Natalie smacked her own head hard.
How could she be so muddle-headed and barge in here yelling at Tobias without even finding out the truth?
The meeting couldn't progress at all.
Everyone could see that Tobias was absentminded, extremely absent-minded.
After the meeting began, he suddenly stopped after saying a few words, a hint of viciousness, followed by dimness flashing in his eyes.
15 minutes after they began, Tobias announced the end of the meeting.
