Chapter 146
Christopher was tracing Jason’s IP address when a text message popped up on the computer.
The text came from Yvette’s phone.
Since it was her privacy, he didn’t check it out.
Soon, Yvette opened the text message.
Looking at Fiona’s swollen face and naked body, Yvette
immediately covered her mouth to stop the screams that were about to come out.
There was a line of words under the picture: [If you don’t want your sister to get hurt, come to Lommore Bridge alone. You only have one chance and half an hour.]
After reading the message, Yvette held her phone tightly and burst into tears.
Tears blurred her vision and dripped on the phone screen, soaking the image that made her feel heartbroken.
Selene was pacing back and forth in the living room anxiously.
Seeing something wrong with Yvette, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “Yvie, what’s the matter? Is there news about your sister?”
As soon as she finished asking, she saw the photo on her phone
screen.
“Is this Fiona?”
Her voice was trembling, and the fingers pointing at the screen were shaking.
It was not that she didn’t recognize her daughter, but the person in the photo was completely disfigured. Selene couldn’t tell who she was at all.
Yvette forced herself to calm down. Enlarging the photo, she

focused it on Fiona’s arm.
There was an unobvious scar on her arm. Fiona got it when she fell on the broken porcelain to protect Juliana when she was a child.
Seeing the familiar scar, Selene’s heart seemed to be gripped tightly by a big hand. It hurt so much that she couldn’t breathe.
“Who sent the pictures? Where’s Fiona?”
Yvette turned off her phone without showing Selene the information in the photo.
She helped Selene sit down on the sofa and said, “Mom, don’t panic. Mr. Forte will find her location and save her in no time.”
Selene was not easy to fool. She asked suspiciously, “When did Christopher say that? Why didn’t I know?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she came to her senses.
“Yvie, have you received more than your sister’s picture? What conditions did the other party put forward?”
She hoped it was just a regular kidnapping, and that money would solve it.
Yvette shook her head and replied, “Mom, don’t think too much. The kidnapper only sent one photo. Maybe he hasn’t decided what he wanted.”
Selene didn’t believe a word. She reached out her hand to Yvette and ordered, “Give me your phone.”
“It’s really just…”
“Give it to me!”
Looking at her mother’s harsh gaze, Yvette had to unlock the phone and show her the information in the photo.
After reading the message, Selene fixed his eyes on Yvette and questioned sternly, “Do you want to trade yourself for your sister like they asked? That’s why you didn’t tell me the information.”

Of course, Yvette wouldn’t admit it. She made up an excuse.
“No. I was just afraid that you would worry about me, so I deliberately concealed the information. Before I could ensure my own safety, I wouldn’t get myself in danger.” After saying that, she immediately changed the topic and said, “I’ll contact Mr. Forte now to see if he has found any clues about her.”
While she was on the phone, Selene said, “Yvie, I watched you grow up. Do you think I don’t understand you? Your sister is important to me as much as you are, and I won’t let you swap your life for hers.”
Plus, she knew very well that if Yvette did what they wanted, she would lose two daughters!
Yvette was confused and didn’t know what to do.
However, one thing she was sure of was to save Fiona!
The call was quickly answered, and Christopher’s deep magnetic voice came from the receiver.
“Did the kidnapper send that message? What did it say?” Yvette found it hard to explain. However, as it was regarding Fiona’s safety, she still told the truth.
“It’s my sister’s naked photo, and they put out a condition for me to go to Lommore Bridge alone. They asked me to arrive in half an hour or they’ll do something to my sister. Mr. Forte, what do you think I should do?”
She wanted to trade herself for her sister, but her mother wouldn’t agree.
However, if she didn’t, she didn’t dare to think about the terrible consequences, only hoping that the nightmare would end soon.
Christopher had already guessed that the mastermind would ask Yvette to replace Fiona. After all, their ultimate target was Cecilia.

He said bluntly, “Your sister is already in trouble.”
With how cruel the mastermind was, he must have already done something to Fiona when threatening Yvette.
Yvette opened her mouth slightly, turning pale.
She didn’t want to believe it, but she had to because Christopher never blathered.
“Mr. Forte, if I don’t agree to his request, will my sister die?” The last word was extremely difficult for her to say. Christopher didn’t have the heart to console her. “Yes.” Yvette’s heart sank when she heard such a commonly used word.
“I’m going to save my sister now. I can’t let her die!”
Although she hadn’t spent much time with Fiona, all she could think of was her sister’s kindness to her.
“It’s useless for you to go. You will only lose your life in vain.” “What shall I do, then? Do I just let my sister die?” Yvette shouted.
She knew she shouldn’t be angry with Christopher, but she couldn’t control her emotions, which seemed to be on the brink of collapse.
Christopher ignored Yvette’s rudeness for Cecilia’s sake.
He said, “You set off now and go to Lommore Bridge alone.” Hearing this, Yvette was a little confused. “What… What?”
“Don’t you want to save your sister? Go ahead.”
Yvette suspected that Christopher was saying that out of anger, but it was exactly what she wanted.
“Okay. I’ll go right now.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone and looked at Selene, who had listened in.
