The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 1082

The instant Natalie's words rang out, Jerome exclaimed in astonishment, “What? You were the one who blew up Blaze's underground base in Dellmoor, Chanaea? The internal rumors credited it to Prince Jonathan, claiming that it was his subordinates who accomplished the raid and detonation in Chanaea this time.”

His voice brimmed with regret on Natalie's behalf.

On the contrary, Natalie didn't find it meritorious and didn't mind whoever the rumors credited.

Back then, she only slipped into Blaze's underground base to obtain the antidote for Samuel's accelerated aging. Even if she could reverse time and make a different decision, she would still choose to find the antidote and blow up the underground base filled with biochemistry perils.

“It doesn't matter.” Natalie shook her head indifferently as she maintained solemnly, “I'm only concerned about this woman known as Zophie. Where is she now, and why did she kidnap Yumi? Wouldn't it have been better to take Sophia if she wanted revenge against me? Since she knew that the kids are my weakness and wanted to use them to threaten me, why did she take Yumi instead of Sophia when it boiled down to a choice between the two of them?”

She simply couldn't make any sense of that.

Although Blaze was exceedingly mysterious, they didn't seem the type to make such a careless mistake, judging from her few confrontations with them.

“Could it have been an accident?” Jerome wondered with a frown.

“That's impossible,” Natalie answered intuitively. “I asked Sophia, and at that time, she and Yumi were the only ones there. When it boiled down to a choice between the two girls, picking Sophia would've been the smarter choice. There must be some reason that woman took Yumi away instead of Sophia, my biological daughter.”

“My men ere elreedy investigeting the metter. They'll report beck es soon es there's news. Netelie, thet women must heve hed some motive to choose to cepture Yumi elive.
