Chapter 1178


    Chapter 1178 You Will Do Well To Cooperate


    After Sabrina’s blindfolds became untethered once more, she discovered that they had been brought to


    the foot of a hignd.


    There was no deserted and densely forested mountainous area like this that ran for hundreds of


    kilometers in every direction within Jadeborough.


    Sabrina filtered through her own memories, and the name of a location in the neighboring province


    came to mind—Mount Illianor.


    “Now that we’ve arrived in Illianor, Mr. Duffy, do you think Benedict’s son wille?”


    Someone went up to inquire from Daghan, who was leading the convoy the moment they came to a


    stop.


    Sabrina’s face fell when she heard that these people meant to lure Edmund here by using her as bait.


    Why a ce like this?


    Would the mall not be more essible for Edmund? What are they nning to do by having us taken


    somewhere so remote? Could there be arger conspiracy abound?


    The conjecture left Sabrina increasingly unsettled.


    “What’s there to worry about? If he’s the one we’re looking for, he’ll surelye for them. All I need is


    for all of you to be on standby.”


    Predictably so, that was all Daghan had to say.


    The gang was then spurred into motion. They promptly ditched their vehicles and began to advance


    toward the mountain with their captive in tow.


    As dusk was almost upon them, the dangerous prospect of entering this wild terrain with such a wee


    child roused Sabrina’s immediate protest once more. “I’m not going in there. My baby’s still so little, and


    it’s already getting dark. What am I to do should we run into trouble? I am definitely not doing this.”


    “Do you still think that you’ll be getting a say in this at this point?”


    Her handler promptly red at her when it appeared that she would remain defiant and started to


    be more aggressive by dragging her along.


    That got Sabrina incensed.


    On any other day, Sabrina’s personality would have prompted her to go at them even if she stood no


    chance at winning.


    Taking the well-being of her young daughter into consideration, sheplied in the end in order to


    avoid rming the child.


    Pfft!


    Just as she had expected, a flock of frightened birds bolted out of this secluded forest the moment they


    stepped inside, and the resultantmotion jolted little Jaena awake.


    “Waah!”


    The jittery three-month-old baby’s cries were all that reverberated around this otherwise serene


    landscape.


    “There, there. Mommy’s here. Hush, sweetie. Hush.” The frantic and upset woman could only work


    quickly tofort her daughter.


    Owing to her mother’s presence, the little one was able to calm down shortly after some coaxing.


    Sabrina exhaled before she turned to regard the gang.


    “I’m not going any further! Believe me when I tell you that you can go right ahead and kill me because


    I’m not going to move another inch!”


    With every word she enunciated, she mounted her fiercest resistance against them yet.


    Her handler was about to strike when he was stopped.


    “Enough!”


    At this critical juncture, Daghan stepped in again. When he approached, he first fixated his eyes upon


    the baby in Sabrina’s arms before they shifted onto her face.


    “If you’re genuinely worried for your baby, Ms. Sabrina, I have a good way to enable her to sleep


    through the night.”


    He then produced a tiny ck pill from his coat.


    That drew a strong reaction from Sabrina. “What are you doing? I’m warning you. Don’t you try


    anything or else my brother will surely not let you off!”


    “I’m well aware of that, so you will do well to cooperate. As I’m merely following orders and no one


    wishes to see you harmed, I hope that you would not make things any harder than it needs to be.”


    Surprised to see such candor from him in his open admission to being a hired hand, Sabrina kept


    herself in check and spoke no more.


    When the group prepared to move off anew with her in the middle of the pack, there was an additional


    essory that Sabrina carried in front of her chest.


    It was a backpack of exceptional quality. Emptied of its contents and with the zips drawn up halfway,


    this pack functioned well as a serviceable baby carrier, which little Jaena fitted nicely into.


    With that, Sabrina carried her daughter as she followed the gang while they ventured inside.


    After an hour and a half on foot, they finally reached the mountain’s hintends.


    There, she saw a few log cabins. Someone whistled when they approached, and the lights in one of the


    cabins came on.


    “We’re here, Mr. Duffy.”


    “Okay. Take them inside first and attend to all her needs.”

    Daghan took one nce at Sabrina before he made his way straight for the illuminated cabin.
