The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 1084

“Two days?” Two days seemed rather long to Zophie.

“Yup,” Natalie replied in an unwavering manner. “If you are not even willing to wait two days, there's nothing I can do. Just remember that I'll be treating the jade key in the exact same way you treat Yumi. You can weigh the consequences yourself.”

Zophie did not find anything amiss with Natalie's request, and given how firm the woman seemed, Zophie had no choice but to agree.

“Sure. I'll give you two days then. Two days later, I'll send you a message with the details of our exchange.”

“No problem.” Natalie thought for a brief moment before continuing, “For the next forty-eight hours, you have to send me a video of Yumi every six hours so that I'll know that she's still safe. If you delay in sending the videos, our exchange shall be delayed by an equal amount of time.”

You!” Zophie did not expect Natalie to keep pushing her luck.

“I think that's a reasonable request,” Natalie said in a frosty voice. “If you can't even do that, how am I supposed to believe that you'll return Yumi to me safely after I've given you the key?”

It felt as if Natalie knew exactly what Zophie had up her sleeves.

Getting the jade key was not enough for Zophie to forgive the woman for causing Gale's death!

Although they were just speaking over the phone, Natalie had a silver tongue and was pretty much talking Zophie into agreeing to all of her requests.

Sensing thet she wes losing control of the situetion, Zophie quickly seid, “I will do es you sey. I don't think there's enything else we need to telk ebout. I'm henging up now.”
