President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 431

A bad premonition rose up in her heart.

Sure enough, after hanging up the phone, Allen walked towards her with an evil look on his face.

"Mrs. McCarthy, you're too presumptuous to say you're not worth $200 million. Archie's almost here. I'll take you out for some air and show you how Mr. McCarthy of McCarthy Properties is begging me like a dog at my feet! Haha!"

After saying that, Allen pulled out a rag and gagged her before lifting her up and heading out.

Natalia's mouth was gagged and she couldn't speak, so she could only whimper and struggle desperately.

But she was too weak and her struggles were useless. Allen grabbed her and tied her to a rope and hoisted her up the ship's mast. Her whole body suddenly rose into the air as if it were a flag.

"Woo... woo... woo..."

Allen looked up at Natalia, who was struggling with fear, and put on a cruel smile.

"Don't be afraid! When I get the money, I'll let you go after you give me a ride! Don't worry. I just want the money and I won't kill you. I have nothing to gain by killing you now except that I will have Archie hunting me all over the world!"

Allen said, glancing at the watch in his hand, "He's almost here! Just pray that our deal goes well!"

And at that moment, at the other end.

A dozen dark green military cars were parked on the side of the road. Archie was sitting in the car with a laptop on his lap, and he was skillfully operating something on it.

The door opened and Brian's body poked in from outside.

"Mr. McCarthy, we're all here."

Archie's face was sullen and cold while his fingertips flew over the keyboard. Soon, a map appeared with a red dot flashing continuously on it.

"Go ahead and set up with this as the center. Under the water, and every fishing boat around it!"

Brian nodded, but still hesitated, "Mr. McCarthy, do you really want to go alone? It's too dangerous!"

Archie didn't answer him. Seeing this, Brian knew that he had made up his mind and could not say anything else, so he turned around and went to work.

Charlie called him again.

"Archie, I've made the arrangements, and I can pick you up anytime."

"Okay." He nodded, paused for a few seconds, and said in a deep voice, "Thanks a lot."

"Heh."

Charlie laughed, said nothing, and hung up the phone.

Archie said nothing more either, but stepped out of the car and headed for the dock.

On the fishing boat.

Natalia was suspended in mid-air. She was strangled with ropes and felt like she was being cut by knives. The pain was unbearable.

She felt both angry and scared as she gritted her teeth and managed to spit the ragged ball of cloth out of her mouth, then looked at Allen, who was leaning against the lower blade, tugging at the rope, and smoking.

"Allen, don't you go on. Even if you get the money, there's no way this broken fishing boat can take you away! Kidnapping for ransom will result in a minimum sentence of fifteen years in prison. You should think carefully! In case you get caught, you might as well go back and turn yourself in now!"

Allen looked up at her coldly. In the night, the burning cigarette flickered on and off, making him look a little forlorn and ruthless.

"Cut the crap! As long as you're in my hands, let alone a broken fishing boat, even if it's a broken plank of wood, believe it or not, I can take you far away with me?"

Natalia frowned, "Didn't we agree that you would let me go after Archie paid you? What are you taking me away for?"

"You think I'm stupid! What if Archie's got people in ambush around here? You must escort me to somewhere safe, and I'll naturally let you go then!"

"Allen, you're going too far. Even if you're a kidnapper, you still have to have the ethics of your profession! If you take the money and don't release me, Archie won't be willing! You'd better let me go now. I promise you. I'll help you plead for mercy. I swear on my honor!"
