Chapter 1112


    Chapter 1112 Was She Wrong


    “Prince Jonathan, you were waiting for the right time, weren’t you? You were waiting for me to trick


    Zophie into letting down her guard so that she won’t detonate the explosives. That way, the jade key


    would be safe,” Natalie uttered, revealing what Bastien was thinking about.


    The truth was that Bastien had arrived not long after Natalie, but he did not let Jerome and his men


    appear to rescue Natalie. Once his n had been revealed, Bastien’s gentle look was reced by an


    icy one.


    “Natalie, it isn’t a good thing to be too smart sometimes.” Bastien patted the coat and draped it over his


    arm as he stared at the crafty woman.


    “What’s the matter? You need my intellect when we’re up against enemies, but when it’s you I’m facing,


    I have to be a sweet, foolish girl?”


    “I trusted you. I was sure that you would win her.” “Then am I to say thank you for trusting me? For


    trusting that I would win in the fight against Zophie?”


    At Natalie’s sarcasm, Bastien changed the topic. “You’re hurt. Let me send you to the hospital.”


    “No thanks.” “Natalie!” Bastien was starting to get angry, and a crease began to mar his forehead. Still,


    Natalie uttered, “I don’t need you to stick your nose into my business, Bastien.”


    With that, Natalie turned to leave. However, just as she took a few steps forward, something hit the


    back of her neck. Her vision went ck, and she lost consciousness. “Ugh—”


    Natalie slumped down, and Bastien quickly scooped her into his arms. Afraid that Bastien would be


    tired from carrying Natalie, Joseph took a step forward and offered, “Prince Jonathan, let me—”


    Before he could say “carry her instead,” Bastien had already hunched over to lift Natalie into his arms.


    He then said, “Do you still not understand this, Joseph? I’m the only one who’s allowed to carry her. No


    one else is allowed to touch her.”


    When Joseph shifted his gaze to look at Bastien, he was taken aback by Bastien’s intimidating eyes.


    Joseph had been working for Bastien for years. Although he knew that Bastien was not as gentle as


    the public described him, and even though he knew that Bastien had a ruthless side to him, he had


    never seen a gaze as frigid as that.


    Bastien was wearing white, but as Joseph looked at the back of the prince, he felt that the heart of the


    man was ck.


    The prince has changed. He’s like a stranger now.


    Jerome took the jade key from Zophie, who was indignant about seeing the treasure she had obtained


    with great difficulty taken away by the others.


    “How can you call yourselves a squad from the royal family? You’re nothing but a group of cowards. At


    the end of the day, you still needed a woman to do everything for you!”

    The adjutant grabbed Zophie’s hair and snapped, “Zophie, you’re now in our hands, so why are you still


    so stubborn? Be smarter, and tell us ze’s secrets. That way, you’ll suffer a little lesser.”


    Zophie burst outughing. “Your n of hitting two birds with one stone was wonderful! You watched as


    I kidnapped Natalie’s kid and forced her to hand over the jade key. Then you forced us both into a


    vicious battle before reaping the benefits without lifting a finger! Forget about me. The poor Natalie has


    been toyed too, huh?”


    The adjutantter left the secret prison with Jerome.


    When they were on their way out, the adjutantmented, “Major General Sutton, this woman must


    have a death wish. How could she say arrogant words like these even after getting captured?”


    Jerome halted in his tracks and turned to look at his adjutant. “Was she wrong about anything?”
