Chapter 1177


    Chapter 1177 Bait


    She remained dazed for a long while, for they were really no ordinary people.


    “Boohoo…”


    The disturbance was significant enough to cause the previously slumbering Jaena to rouse in her


    mother’s arms. At just three months old, the child started to bawl after being startled.


    Sabrina quickly suppressed the tremendous pain she felt in her face when she heard those cries. She


    spat the blood in her mouth onto the ground and held her daughter close.


    “Hush, baby. Mommy’s here.”


    Though her mouth was still bleeding, her focus was directed toward the baby in her arms instead.


    The sight of that prompted nefarious designs on the child from those people once more. With his eyes


    narrowed, that man who attacked Sabrina pounced like a leopard while her attention was diverted and


    came right for the kid.


    Hiss!


    Pow!


    Sabrina pulled the baby back in the nick of time and narrowly avoided the dagger that threatened to slit


    her throat.


    Then, a gunshot rang out.


    A spiral of blood spurted from the body of that dagger-wielding assant, who stiffened at once.


    Secondster, he crumbled into an untidy heap right at Sabrina’s feet.


    “Mario!”


    The entire arcade went silent in an instant.


    With her baby clutched tightly, Sabrina stared nkly at the corpse next to her without flinching.


    Who did that? Could it be that he’s here?


    The very notion of that caused the color to drain from the face of the already difited woman once


    more.


    Shortly after that man’s untimely demise, a series of clicking heels approached adagio. Those footsteps


    reminded her of a certain someone, prompting her to cast her gaze quickly behind herself.


    “Mr. Duffy!”

    It’s not him!


    Decked out in a ck suit, the silvery-grey maned neer had theplexion of one who looked to


    be in his forties or fifties. Sabrina saw that he had a gun in one hand and two tokens which he rolled


    across his knuckles on the other.


    Mr. Duffy?


    She narrowed her eyes.


    “Mr. Duffy, Mario…”


    “Whoever allowed you to touch her? Have I ever given all of you permission to do so?”


    The nasally, shrill inflection that was starkly reminiscent of that of eunuchs in antiquity caused those


    men present to cringe and also had the hair on Sabrina’s nape standing on end.


    Sounding foppish and vicious, this voice conjured images of a venomous serpent stalking in the


    shadows.


    “Mr. Duffy… We had no choice because she wouldn’t tell us who he is.”


    “If she won’t talk, then we’ll make hime to us himself. Have you not the brains to think for yourself?


    Do you really need me to teach you that? Let me remind you that if we were to lose her as a bargaining


    chip, none of us could expect to get out of this alive!”


    The more upset the man got as he cussed, the moreical his sharp voice became. However, the


    murderous look in his eyes made everyone shudder and ensured that no one dared let out so much as


    a yelp.


    Sabrina, too, sat there petrified. Only little Jaena continued to wail away in her arms.


    “In that case, what should we do now, Mr. Duffy? Shall we give that Cooper guy a call?”


    “What good would that aplish? Don’t you think that that lunatic from the Jadesons would have


    realized that she has gone missing by now? Hurry up and get her out of here!”


    Sabrina did not anticipate that the man nned to have her and her baby relocated.


    That was when she finally spoke up, “I’m not leaving. My daughter’s only a baby. She’s hungry and


    needs to be fed, so I’m not going anywhere with you!”


    With that, she stood herself up from that chair and prepared to walk off since there was no one left who


    posed an immediate threat to her following the death of the dagger-wielding Mario.


    Across from her, Daghan responded by pulling the gun on her. That caused her to freeze in her tracks.


    “Go downstairs and get two cans of form and a bottle of hot water for the kid. We’ll embark


    immediately once we are ready!”


    “Understood, Mr. Duffy!”


    Held at gunpoint, Sabrina was left without recourse while the man issued orders to his bunch of


    followers. Both mother and daughter were taken away soon after.


    Meanwhile, Edmund was sorting through Benedict’s possessions back at the White House Senate.


    When he suddenly received a message which contained a photograph of the kidnapped mother and


    daughter pair with apanying coordinates, he dashed out like a madman.
