The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 1177

Chapter 1177 Bait

She remained dazed for a long while, for they were really no ordinary people.

“Boohoo...”

The disturbance was significant enough to cause the previously slumbering Jaena to rouse in hermother’s arms. At just three months old, the child started to bawl after being startled.

Sabrina quickly suppressed the tremendous pain she felt in her face when she heard those cries. Shespat the blood in her mouth onto the ground and held her daughter close.

"Hush, baby. Mommy's here.”

Though her mouth was still bleeding, her focus was directed toward the baby in her arms instead.The sight of that prompted nefarious designs on the child from those people once more. With hiseyes narrowed, that man who attacked Sabrina pounced like a leopard while her attention wasdiverted and came right for the kid.

Hiss!

Pow!

Sabrina pulled the baby back in the nick of time and narrowly avoided the dagger that threatenedto slit her throat.

Then, a gunshot rang out.

A spiral of blood spurted from the body of that dagger-wielding assailant, who stiffened at once.Seconds later, he crumbled into an untidy heap right at Sabrina’s feet.

"Mario!"

The entire arcade went silent in an instant.

With her baby clutched tightly, Sabrina stared blankly at the corpse next to her without flinching.Who did that? Could it be that he's here?

The very notion of that caused the color to drain from the face of the already discomfited womanonce more.

Shortly after that man’s untimely demise, a series of clicking heels approached adagio. Thosefootsteps reminded her of a certain someone, prompting her to cast her gaze quickly behindherself.

“Mr. Duffy!”

It's not him!

Decked out in a black suit, the silvery-grey maned newcomer had the complexion of one wholooked to be in his forties or fifties. Sabrina saw that he had a gun in one hand and two tokenswhich he rolled across his knuckles on the other.

Mr. Duffy?

She narrowed her eyes.

“Mr. Duffy, Mario...”

"Whoever allowed you to touch her? Have I ever given all of you permission to do so?"

The nasally, shrill inflection that was starkly reminiscent of that of eunuchs in antiquity caused thosemen present to cringe and also had the hair on Sabrina’s nape standing on end.

Sounding foppish and vicious, this voice conjured images of a venomous serpent stalking in theshadows.

“Mr. Duffy... We had no choice because she wouldn't tell us who he is.”

“If she won't talk, then we'll make him come to us himself. Have you not the brains to think foryourself? Do you really need me to teach you that? Let me remind you that if we were to lose her asa bargaining chip, none of us could expect to get out of this alive!”

The more upset the man got as he cussed, the more comical his sharp voice became. However, themurderous look in his eyes made everyone shudder and ensured that no one dared let out so muchas a yelp.

Sabrina, too, sat there petrified. Only little Jaena continued to wail away in her arms.

“In that case, what should we do now, Mr. Duffy? Shall we give that Cooper guy a call?”

"What good would that accomplish? Don't you think that that lunatic from the Jadesons would haverealized that she has gone missing by now? Hurry up and get her out of here!”

Sabrina did not anticipate that the man planned to have her and her baby relocated.

That was when she finally spoke up, “I'm not leaving. My daughter's only a baby. She's hungry andneeds to be fed, so I'm not going anywhere with you!”

With that, she stood herself up from that chair and prepared to walk off since there was no one leftwho posed an immediate threat to her following the death of the dagger-wielding Mario.

Across from her, Daghan responded by pulling the gun on her. That caused her to freeze in hertracks.

"Go downstairs and get two cans of formula and a bottle of hot water for the kid. We'll embarkimmediately once we are ready!”

"Understood, Mr. Duffy!"

Held at gunpoint, Sabrina was left without recourse while the man issued orders to his bunch offollowers. Both mother and daughter were taken away soon after.

Meanwhile, Edmund was sorting through Benedict's possessions back at the White House Senate.When he suddenly received a message which contained a photograph of the kidnapped mother anddaughter pair with accompanying coordinates, he dashed out like a madman.
