A Cue For Love Chapter 1083

Chapter 1083 You Threatened Me First This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Yumi must have been terrified when she was kidnapped by the woman! Besides the fact that Blaze was a crime syndicate involved in all sorts of immoral activities, Zophie was sounding like a crazy woman over the phone.

As such, Natalie was extremely worried about Yumi’s current situation. She tightened her grip on her phone as a determined gaze flashed across her eyes. “I’m the one you’re after. Let the kid go and don’t hurt her! Otherwise, not only would you not get the key, I’ll make sure you and your organization pay a terrible price for this!”

Although they were just speaking over the phone, Zophie could not help but feel slightly intimidated by Natalie.

“Natalie, I’ve already said that I don’t care whether the child lives or dies. I only care about getting the jade key.” Zophie raised her voice as she continued, “Give me the jade key and I’ll let the child live. If you don’t give it to me or play any tricks, I’ll make sure you never see the girl again. Not only that, I’ll make sure she dies a painful death!”

Zophie did not sound like she was joking. As Natalie was worried that Zophie would get too agitated and end up hurting Yumi, she replied without hesitation, “Yup! I have the jade key. I will give it to you, but I want to hear Yumi’s voice now to make sure that she’s still safe!”

There was silence on the other end of the line, and Zophie seemed to be hesitating.

However, Natalie was not intending to back down. “Zophie, since you are holding the child hostage to threaten me, you have to let me know that she’s safe! If I can’t be sure that you have not harmed her, not only would I not give you the key, but I would also destroy it so that you and your organization can forget about having it ever!”

Natalie had set a clear bottom line. She could always get the key back again after losing it. However, if something bad happened to Yumi, it would be irreversible!

“All right then. I’ll let you hear her voice,” Zophie finally replied. A few seconds after rustling sounds sounded through the phone, Natalie heard the girl speaking in between sobs. “Mommy…”

“Yumi, are you okay?” Natalie’s voice softened instantly. “Mommy, I’m fine,” Yumi reassured Natalie, trying her best to control her emotions as she did not want her mother to worry. “Tell me the truth.”

Yumi was taken aback for a moment when she heard the woman’s words. The next instant, tears started flowing down her cheeks. After all, she was only five, and it wasn’t easy for her to force herself to be brave in such a situation.

Unable to hold back any longer, the girl answered, “Mommy, I feel a little dizzy, and I feel like puking… I’m very scared…”

“All right, hang in there. Mommy is coming to save you.” Natalie could feel her heart aching badly. “When you’re scared, just think about what you want to do with me, Franklin and Sophia after you get home. When you are back, tell me all about it and we will do all of them together…”

Yumi felt a lot better after hearing Natalie’s words. “Okay, Mommy! I will wait for you!”

“That’s my good girl!” Zophie was not sure what Yumi and Natalie had talked about exactly, but she could tell that the girl was visibly more relaxed and did not look as terrified and flustered as before.

Zophie felt extremely uneasy about the change. She did not like it at all. What the h*ll just happened?

What did she say to the girl?

Zophie snatched the phone back from Yumi’s hands and said, “That’s enough for you to confirm that she’s safe.” “Did you hit her?” Natalie questioned.

“You—” “You don’t have to answer me,” Natalie interrupted the woman before continuing, “Let me repeat myself. Even though you have Yumi now, I will only give you the key on the condition that she’s perfectly safe. If you hurt her even a little bit, I’ll make sure that the jade key is destroyed to a similar extent…”

Zophie could barely believe what she had just heard. Narrowing her eyes, she asked, “Natalie, are you threatening me now?”

“You threatened me first,” Natalie replied coldly. “I’ll give you the key, but I’ve hidden it in a secret place. As such, I’ll need some time to prepare. Two days is all I need. Two days later, you can decide on the method of our exchange.”
