Semua Bab The Choices We Made: Bab 231 - Bab 240

The bodyguards on the video call spoke to Nathaniel, guilt lacing his voice. He had assumed Samantha had left through the back door, a side door, or by car as she had when she arrived. But the house staff reported that Samantha had not returned home. She also had not appeared at any other place she might have gone to. The bodyguard realized Samantha had disappeared inside this hospital. Realizing something had happened to her, he and the rest of the team searched every part of the hospital and contacted Nathaniel immediately. Nathaniel's expression was terrifyingly dark. It was the first time the bodyguard had seen him like this. He had the hacker pull up the surveillance around the radiology department. The nearby locker room was where Samantha last appeared on camera. After that, she could no longer be found. She was not in the elevator, or the stairwell. Nathaniel's fingers curled slightly, making popping sounds as he clenched his fist. "Who did it? Have you found the last

Mason had often considered drugging and abducting female passengers. There happened to be sedatives he had bought through illegal channels in the trunk, so they came in handy. Mason had felt fearless until Samantha mentioned that night. He remembered the terrible beating he had to endure and the permanent injury they had inflicted, and his fear returned. He said nothing, sealed Samantha's mouth again, and went outside. As soon as he succeeded, he dragged Samantha here, tied her up, and contacted Gordon. Delighted by how quickly Mason had acted, Gordon promptly sent him ten thousand dollars through Meta Pay. Mason had just happened to be hungry. Since Samantha was still unconscious and he was not worried she would escape, he went out and had something to eat before returning. After Samantha warned him about her powerful protectors, Mason grew uneasy and went outside to call Gordon to come over as soon as possible. As long as Gordon came, Mason no longer had to be afraid. He

When Gordon got out of the car, he intended to simply observe from a distance and direct Mason remotely. Instead, he ran straight into Samantha as she nearly escaped. He had no choice but to reveal himself. Samantha had just seen him in the ward. It was impossible for her not to recognize him. Now, his identity had been exposed. He was now thinking that he had to make Mason assault and kill her first. Then he would find a way to send Mason overseas to hide for a decade or two. Samantha absolutely could not be allowed to live. However, she had told Sydney that if anything happened to her, her lawyer would release the recording. Gordon had to find the recording through her first. He could not leave such a serious threat hanging over his daughter. Gordon had Mason bring over a large glass bucket filled with a clear liquid. "You're going to die soon, but you still have the nerve to try and persuade me? Where did you hide the recorder? If you don't say it..." Samantha was sh

Samantha broke down and sobbed loudly. Just moments earlier, she had thought she was going to die in that place. Nathaniel did not delay; he carried her into the car in the next instant. The car started, and the car carrying Mason and Gordon followed behind. Along the way, the car drove from the countryside to the coastal road before finally stopping at the pier by a giant cruise ship. Nathaniel lowered his head and looked at Samantha sleeping in his arms. His men had already interrogated Gordon in the back of the large vehicle. Gordon confessed everything. He was behind everything, from inciting Mason to break into Samantha's home the first time and try to have his hands on her, as well as arranging the kidnapping this time. After Samantha completed her MRI, he had Mason drug her and take her into his taxi to that remote rural mechanic shop. He had wanted to force her to hand over the recorder. The bodyguard had also told Nathaniel that there were traces of sulfuric acid

At that moment, Nathaniel knew Mason had frightened Samantha. At that moment, his eyes darkened and he ordered in a mild manner, "Ice him." When Mason heard that, his whole body began trembling violently. He knew his life was in the hands of this terrifying man. Pain twisted his expression as he cried, "Don't throw me down! Don't... Please…!" His hoarse pleas tore through the night. Then, there was a heavy splash. Samantha was briefly stunned. The badly battered Gordon raised his head and looked at Nathaniel through swollen eyes. After recognizing him, he began trembling all over. He had planned to reveal that he was Finella's relative, hoping the connection would protect him, but then he recognized the man before him. The man before him was Nathaniel McQueen. The same Nathaniel McQueen, who had separated from the McQueen family many years ago. Gordon had heard about Nathaniel's ruthlessness. His methods were enough to make his enemies tremble at the mention of him. N
