Chapter 1002
Eudora got nervous and declared, "I'm her mother. Tie me up instead!"
"Get out of my way!" Cody was about to kick Eudora again, but Naomi had shouted to stop him, "Don't
touch my mom, tie me up!"
"Naomi!"
"Mom, it's okay! I'm in good health. I promised dad that I'll protect you. I'm sorry that I've dragged you
into trouble this time. If anything happens to you, I can't explain it to Dad and I won't forgive myself
either!"
After that, she walked resolutely towards the two men.
Cody laughed as he spoke, "That's right. You're a good girl, you've saved us so much trouble!"
A moment later, Naomi had been tied up and hung over the edge of the cliff by the men.
Not only that, but they also brought out both Eudora and Nelson.
When Eudora saw the scene, her legs went limp and she almost fainted.
The cliff was so high that they could not see the bottom, and clouds can be seen drifting around.
There was a small tree by the edge, but its trunk was not very thick.
Naomi was hung up from the tree, and any bit of movement from her would cause the tree to start
swaying.
Eudora had her heart in her mouth when she saw that.
Eudora shouted, "Naomi, don't move, please try not to move!"
Then, she turned to look at the two men. She said, "What do you want? We have been cooperative.
Please don't hurt my daughter like this!"
The two men laughed again.
"Isn't it enough to lie to us once? Do you still want to lie to us for the second time? We won't believe
you anymore."
"We didn't lie!" Eudora was so agitated that she didn't notice that they were behaving unusually.
She could only try her best to fight for her daughter. She spoke again, "We really didn't lie. There might
be some misunderstanding. How about you let me contact..."
"Shut up!" Cody shouted.
"We're no longer in a hurry for the money. Now, I want to have some fun with you guys for a while. You
love your daughter so much, don't you? Fine, then you can go! Do you see that rope? If you can
remove it, then I'll let go of your daughter!"
Eudora followed his gaze and looked over. She saw the rope, which was used to hang Naomi. It wasn't
tied to the tree, but to a protruding rock next to the tree.
The rock was practically hanging on the edge of the cliff with only a little bit of it connected to the edge
of the cliff. There might have been a structure connecting it, but it seemed to have been removed by
the two men.
It was on the verge of collapse.
Unfortunately, the wind was beginning to pick up while they were talking.
As the wind blew, the tree shook even more violently and the cracks between the rock and the cliff
became larger.
"I'll go!" Without hesitation, Eudora instantly ran towards Naomi.
Cody suddenly stopped Eudora and said, "Now, I don't want you to do it. I want him to do it instead!" Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
He was pointing to Nelson.
Nelson was brought out by them too. It was only because his body was weaker that he had remained
quiet all this while.
He was also distressed by what was happening to Naomi, but he smelled a rat from his observation of
how the two kidnappers were behaving.
Kidnappers usually only cared about the money. However, the two of them acted as if they did not want
money at all.
Eudora had told them repeatedly that she was willing to pay, but both of them turned her down time
and time again.
In addition, they were looking for ways to torture them, as though they were completing some kind of
task.
Just as he was thinking, he heard Cody calling him out of the blue.
He raised his head and realized that he was asked to do something.
Eudora quickly said, "No, he hasn't recovered yet. What if he couldn't find his feet?"
She didn't intend to be an alarmist, but the tree and rock were indeed shaking. A normal person might
not be able to succeed, let alone Nelson, who had been drugged.
If he went, it was very likely that he would fall off the cliff with Naomi.
That would be an unacceptable outcome!
Cody said sternly, "Cut it out! Talk and I'll throw you all down the cliff. Do you want to do it or not? Hurry
up and make a choice!"
Nelson hurriedly nodded and replied, "I'll go!"
Eudora was overwrought. She cried out, "Nelson!"
Nelson said, "I will save Naomi!"
Seeing this, Cody walked over and untied the rope on Nelson's body.
When Nelson was getting up, Cody whispered in his ear.
"It's not too late to give up! I was told to tell you that if you've changed your mind, she will still put you in
the same position as before!"
Nelson was stupefied for a moment. Cody's words gave him a sense of foreboding.
"You..."
He stared wide-mouthed at him and asked, "What about Naomi?"
Cody smirked and said, "Don't forget your mission!"
Nelson's heart skipped a beat. Now, he was sure that these people were part of Monique's
arrangement.
If it weren't for her, how could something so terrible happen all of a sudden?
However, he couldn't figure out what her
motive was.
"What's wrong? Do you regret your choice?" Cody teased him. At the same time, Monique, who was
eavesdropping on their conversation with a phone, grinned slightly.
Her target was the Granger family, but she had other ways to deal with them. Meanwhile, she was
determined to bring Nelson to his knees.
Since her partner died, she had never been so eager to be with anyone. There simply wasn't a
challenge anymore.
Every man would try their best to please her after they knew her identity and the perks that she could
bring to the table.
Soon, she got bored.
There were very few people who would not give in to temptations.
"This time, in the face of life and death, I'm sure that you will yield eventually!"
Monique muttered to herself.
After that, she took out another phone and called her assistant. She ordered, "Arrange for a person to
take over Nelson's job in Rosaville City."
The assistant asked curiously, "Isn't Mr. Luther over there? Why is there a need to change?"
Monique said with a smile, "I've other arrangement
for Nelson, just do as you're..."
Before her voice died away, she heard Nelson's voice through her first phone, which was used to
monitor their conversation.
"I'll go!"
Monique paused for a little while, and her expression turned dark.
The assistant was puzzled by her pause and called out to her, "Miss Monique, are you still there?"
Monique snorted, "That's all for now. Wait for my news!"
With a bang, she hung up on her assistant. Then, she picked up her first phone unhappily and gave an
instruction.
"Let him go!"
Upon hearing this, Cody got up and made way for Nelson.
"Fine, you've got guts. Go ahead!"
Nelson struggled to stand up and walked slowly towards Naomi. At the sight of that, Naomi frowned
and wanted to stop him, she said, "Nelson..."
"Don't call out to me! I'm afraid that I'll get distracted."
Listening to his captivating and tender voice,
Monique clenched her fist.
