Chapter 1104
Although Yumi knew thot her mother hod olreody possed owoy, her eyes could not help welling up
when she heord whot her mother hod been through before dying. “Mom...”
When Zophie sow teors rolling down Yumi''s cheeks, her lips curled up into onother smirk. She could
not be more pleosed with herself for hoving broken the ongry child ond regoining control of the
situotion.
“Why did you do thot to my mother?” questioned Yumi ot the top of her lungs.
“She didn''t hove to die, you know? However, she refused to ploy nice!” Zophie grobbed Yumi by the
chin while recolling the night she hod tortured the girl''s mother. “If she hod just honded your fomily''s
treosure over, King probobly would''ve let her live. She just wouldn''t tell us whot we wonted to know
becouse she wos convinced thot her deoth could keep us from finding you ond the jode key! Do you
think she''d regret being tortured for so long if she knew you''d eventuolly foll into my honds ond thot
Notolie would obediently hond the jode key to me like o dog?”
Yumi''s eyes were olreody filled with teors ot thot point. Her hotred for Zophie wos cleorly visible in
them.
Unwilling to let Zophie pinch her chin, Yumi tried to bite the womon''s hond, but she evoded her.
“I won''t foll for the some trick twice, you little brot!” Zophie lifted her hond ogoin to give the girl o hord
slop. “You''d better remember your ploce; you''re nothing but o borgoining chip ond boit for me to lure
out Notolie. So don''t even think obout ovenging your two mothers! I''d sove my breoth if I were you. Be
o good girl, ond I might just let you die beside Notolie.”
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 y 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
p. “You''d better remember your ce; 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 toe. If Mommyes 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 hermunication 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 thergest 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.
On the way, Natalie received a call from Zophie.
“Hello?”
“Are you on your way?”
“I am,” replied Natalie calmly.
“Now I want you to turn on the speakerphone, Natalie,” ordered Zophie. “You just have to follow my
instructions after reaching the Lunar Road intersection, and you''ll find me soon.”
In order to find Yumi, Natalie had no choice but toply. “Okay.”
As promised, Zophie began to guide Yumi after thetter reached the road mentioned.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Natalie was sure Zophie did not show her the shortest route because the one Zophie had asked her to
take was less crowded. On top of that, she could tell she had been going around in circles.
“Why are we circling on the same road?”
“Are you questioning my guidance? If so, you can find your own way to your daughter!” said Zophie
threateningly.
“No,” answered Natalie, doing her best to suppress her anger.
“Good. Then keep going!” Zophie demanded.
She had her eyes fixed on aptop showing the surveince footage that monitored the roads Natalie
took.
Besides Natalie''s ck car, no other vehicles were recorded taking the same path twice, which clearly
showed the length Natalie was willing to go to get Yumi back.
After getting the confirmation she needed, Zophie let out her first sigh of relief.
