Chapter 1075: A Cue For Love Chapter 1081

Chapter 1081 Blew Up Their Underground Base Mother handed me the jade key back when she was still alive, urging me to protect it no matter what.

Never will I hand over such a crucial treasure as the jade key to this evil woman before me!

Widening her eyes, Yumi riposted, “No, I didn’t… I don’t know anything about a jade key! Let me go!

My mommy will definitely come and save me! At that time, you’ll be dead!”

“Mommy? Are you referring to Natalie? Will she really save you when the two of you aren’t related by blood at all?” Zophie scoffed with a mirthless smirk.

She deliberately said that to break Yumi. Unexpectedly, Yumi insisted obstinately, “My mommy will definitely come and save me!”

“You’re still being stubborn, brat? Is that woman pure just because she’s standing in the sun? Her hands are similarly stained with blood! Such a two-faced sl*t can only dupe a four or five-year-old kid like you!” Zophie snarled, loathing her to the core.

Chagrin swamped her as she took note of the unwavering trust in Yumi’s eyes toward Natalie. If it weren’t for that woman, Gale wouldn’t have died in that explosion, blown to bits and pieces!

Yumi didn’t quite understand the meaning of the word “sl*t.”

Nonetheless, she was certain that the woman was scolding Natalie.

From the instant Natalie appeared at the orphanage and helped her, a glimmer of light seemingly broke through the darkness she once imagined her life to be.

Natalie adopted her and took her away from the orphanage, bringing her home where Franklin, Sophia, Xavian, and Clayton resided. She could sense that everyone in the family loved and cared for her sincerely.

All that was given to her by Natalie. In this world, no one had ever treated her so well other than her biological mother.

Hence, she was so livid upon hearing Zophie scold Natalie that her face flushed bright red. Opening her mouth, she bit Zophie’s hand hard. She exerted all her might while doing so, giving it her all.

Never having expected such a young child to be so aggressive, Zophie only realized what had happened when her hand was bleeding. As pain assailed her, she shoved Yumi away.

Yumi failed to brace herself for it. The back of her head hit the wall with a thud. Lifting her hand, Zophie wanted to slap her. But just when her hand was about to land on Yumi’s face, she stilled and thrust a finger in her face instead.

“Brat, don’t think that you can fool me just by playing dumb! You’re the kid the organization is looking for. Since the jade key isn’t with you, it’s naturally with Natalie. Since you’re so sure that she’ll come and save you, I’ll exchange you for the jade key. If she isn’t willing to hand it over, I’ll set you on fire!”

Zophie warned through clenched teeth.

All at once, Yumi’s heart jolted. Crap! This evil woman wants to exchange me for the jade key! Meanwhile, the four children were picked up by Yandel.

When Natalie received a message from the man telling her that the children were with him, the weight on her heart finally lifted.

Jerome went to her, and they both watched the surveillance footage Xavian sent over together.

The footage was taken from a distance, so it only captured the woman’s features roughly. That aside, the resolution was pretty low.

Natalie combed through her circle of acquaintances before shaking her head. “I don’t know this woman.

Shall we start by investigating this woman—”

Before she had finished speaking, Jerome interrupted her. “I know this woman.” “Who is she, Jerome?”

Natalie asked nervously. “She’s Zophie, a member of Blaze.”

With an icy expression on his face, Jerome continued, “It’s a mysterious crime syndicate whose leader and organization is unknown. Many filthy and unethical things are spurred by Blaze behind the scenes When did you get involved with Blaze, Natalie?”

At the mention of Blaze, Natalie finally had some recollection of things. She sucked in a breath. “I know why, then. Half a year ago, I blew up Blaze’s underground base in Dellmoor, Chanaea.”
