Meanwhile, Nathan had just finished the video conference. When he came out of his office at home, he suddenly saw Colin rushing in with his forehead covered in sweat.
Nathan frowned. “What happened, Colin? Why are you in such a panic?”
Usually, Colin was someone who could keep his cool even during the worst crisis. However, he was so anxious at that moment that his voice was trembling.
“Something bad happened, General! Someone ambushed Ms. Smith, and a serious fight broke out at the junction. Not only are the attackers extremely powerful, but they are also armed with guns, grenades, and other weapons. Ms. Smith has been abducted, and Kylie is injured. Ava got shot when saving Kylie, so she's in the hospital undergoing emergency treatment now.”
Crash!
A cup smashed onto the ground and broke into pieces.
Nathan turned around and saw Penny standing at the entrance of the study room, her eyes filled with tears. There were glass shards around her feet.
After hearing what Colin said, she dropped her cup.
Rushing over, Penny asked with a choked voice, “Colin, what happened? How is everyone? Is my daughter still safe?”
Colin replied, “The attackers came prepared. Someone was helping them, so they have probably come with the intention of kidnapping Ms. Smith. Although Ava tried her best to protect Ms. Smith, she needed to safeguard two people at the same time. To save Kylie, she got shot by a bullet, and Ms. Smith got abducted as well. I'm guessing that they've come specially to kidnap Ms. Smith. Since only a short time has passed, she must still be safe. Don't worry, Mrs. Cross. We'll definitely find a way to save her.”
Nathan instructed solemnly, “Order everyone to find my daughter's location as quickly as possible.”
Colin replied, “Yes, sir!”
Nathan and Penny then rushed to the hospital.
Ava was still in the operating theater undergoing emergency treatment.
Meanwhile, Kylie was squatting at the door with tears streaming down her cheeks. When she saw Nathan and Penny, she immediately pounced into Penny's arms and sobbed, “Penny, Queenie was abducted. To save me, Kylie was shot by the attackers. I'm so useless...”
