A Cue for Love (Natalie and Samuel)

Chapter 1049 Cautious

Why… Why is she here? Just as he was about to call out to her, he was stopped by the look she gave him. They could not let anyone know that they knew each other.

If the robber were to find out that Natalie knew Jerome—and knew him well, in fact—she might no longer be a simple hostage, and the lawbreaker would become increasingly wary of her.

Jerome could understand Natalie’s intention. Still, he found it impossible to stay calm as she was held hostage at knifepoint.

However, Barnaby felt as if he had heard the world’s greatest joke when he heard Jerome’s words.

“A lighter sentence? How funny!” Barnaby pressed the knife harder against Natalie’s neck. “I want to leave safely, and you have to give me enough money too. Otherwise, I’ll drag this woman to hell with me.”

A typical threat, but it only worked because Natalie’s life was in his hands.

“I want a helicopter, and I want a hundred million in virtual currency downloaded into a wristwatch!” Barnaby glanced at the young woman in his arms. “I don’t have much patience. You’ll have to prepare everything I’ve requested in half an hour’s time. I’ll be waiting on the rooftop for the helicopter.”
