Chapter 146
Christopher was tracing Jason’s IP address when a text message popped up on the computer.
The text came from Yvette’s phone.
Since it was her privacy, he didn’t check it out.
Soon, Yvette opened the text message.
Looking at Fiona’s swollen face and naked body, Yvette
immediately covered her mouth to stop the screams that were about to come out.
There was a line of words under the picture: [If you don’t want your sister to get hurt, come to Lommore
Bridge alone. You only have one chance and half an hour.]
After reading the message, Yvette held her phone tightly and burst into tears.
Tears blurred her vision and dripped on the phone screen, soaking the image that made her feel
heartbroken.
Selene was pacing back and forth in the living room anxiously.
Seeing something wrong with Yvette, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “Yvie, what’s the
matter? Is there news about your sister?”
As soon as she finished asking, she saw the photo on her phone
screen.
“Is this Fiona?”
Her voice was trembling, and the fingers pointing at the screen were shaking.
It was not that she didn’t recognize her daughter, but the person in the photo was completely
disfigured. Selene couldn’t tell who she was at all.
Yvette forced herself to calm down. Enlarging the photo, she

focused it on Fiona’s arm.
There was an unobvious scar on her arm. Fiona got it when she fell on the broken porcelain to protect
Juliana when she was a child.
Seeing the familiar scar, Selene’s heart seemed to be gripped tightly by a big hand. It hurt so much
that she couldn’t breathe.
“Who sent the pictures? Where’s Fiona?”
Yvette turned off her phone without showing Selene the information in the photo.
She helped Selene sit down on the sofa and said, “Mom, don’t panic. Mr. Forte will find her location
and save her in no time.”
Selene was not easy to fool. She asked suspiciously, “When did Christopher say that? Why didn’t I
know?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she came to her senses.
“Yvie, have you received more than your sister’s picture? What conditions did the other party put
forward?”
She hoped it was just a regular kidnapping, and that money would solve it.
Yvette shook her head and replied, “Mom, don’t think too much. The kidnapper only sent one photo.
Maybe he hasn’t decided what he wanted.”
Selene didn’t believe a word. She reached out her hand to Yvette and ordered, “Give me your phone.”
“It’s really just…”
“Give it to me!”
Looking at her mother’s harsh gaze, Yvette had to unlock the phone and show her the information in
the photo.
After reading the message, Selene fixed his eyes on Yvette and questioned sternly, “Do you want to
trade yourself for your sister like they asked? That’s why you didn’t tell me the information.”

Of course, Yvette wouldn’t admit it. She made up an excuse.
“No. I was just afraid that you would worry about me, so I deliberately concealed the information.
Before I could ensure my own safety, I wouldn’t get myself in danger.” After saying that, she
immediately changed the topic and said, “I’ll contact Mr. Forte now to see if he has found any clues
about her.”
While she was on the phone, Selene said, “Yvie, I watched you grow up. Do you think I don’t
understand you? Your sister is important to me as much as you are, and I won’t let you swap your life
for hers.”
Plus, she knew very well that if Yvette did what they wanted, she would lose two daughters!
Yvette was confused and didn’t know what to do.
However, one thing she was sure of was to save Fiona!
The call was quickly answered, and Christopher’s deep magnetic voice came from the receiver.
“Did the kidnapper send that message? What did it say?” Yvette found it hard to explain. However, as it
was regarding Fiona’s safety, she still told the truth.
“It’s my sister’s naked photo, and they put out a condition for me to go to Lommore Bridge alone. They
asked me to arrive in half an hour or they’ll do something to my sister. Mr. Forte, what do you think I
should do?”
She wanted to trade herself for her sister, but her mother wouldn’t agree.
However, if she didn’t, she didn’t dare to think about the terrible consequences, only hoping that the
nightmare would end soon.
Christopher had already guessed that the mastermind would ask Yvette to replace Fiona. After all, their
ultimate target was Cecilia.

He said bluntly, “Your sister is already in trouble.”
With how cruel the mastermind was, he must have already done something to Fiona when threatening
Yvette.
Yvette opened her mouth slightly, turning pale.
She didn’t want to believe it, but she had to because Christopher never blathered.
“Mr. Forte, if I don’t agree to his request, will my sister die?” The last word was extremely difficult for
her to say. Christopher didn’t have the heart to console her. “Yes.” Yvette’s heart sank when she heard
such a commonly used word.
“I’m going to save my sister now. I can’t let her die!”
Although she hadn’t spent much time with Fiona, all she could think of was her sister’s kindness to
her.
“It’s useless for you to go. You will only lose your life in vain.” “What shall I do, then? Do I just let my
sister die?” Yvette shouted.
She knew she shouldn’t be angry with Christopher, but she couldn’t control her emotions, which
seemed to be on the brink of collapse.
Christopher ignored Yvette’s rudeness for Cecilia’s sake.
He said, “You set off now and go to Lommore Bridge alone.” Hearing this, Yvette was a little confused.
“What… What?”
“Don’t you want to save your sister? Go ahead.”
Yvette suspected that Christopher was saying that out of anger, but it was exactly what she wanted.
“Okay. I’ll go right now.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone and looked at Selene, who had listened in.

“Mom, I’m going to replace my sister!”
Selene immediately refused, “No way. You should know very well that there’s no turning back!
Christopher said that on purpose. Don’t mind him.”
“How do you know it won’t work if we don’t try? I must go.”
After saying that, Yvette turned around and walked out of the door.
Selene shouted, “Someone, stop her!” Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
The bodyguards immediately appeared at the gate and stopped Yvette.
It was unsure when Yvette had gotten the fruit knife from the coffee table.
Yvette placed the sharp knife across her neck, looking indifferently at the bodyguards blocking her
way.
“Get out of the way!”
Seeing this, Selene almost choked on her own breath.
“Yvie, put down the knife!”
“Mom, let me go, or I’ll die in front of you. You know I’ll do what I say!”
Selene kept silent and signaled to the bodyguard.
Before the bodyguard grabbed the knife, the sharp knife cut across Yvette’s neck.
The deep crimson blood flowed from the wound and stained her white chiffon shirt red.
Selene was heartbroken.
Knowing that Yvette would really do what she said, Selene said with difficulty, “Let her go!”
Hearing this, Yvette smiled brightly at Selene.
“Mom, I’ll save my sister. Tell Ceci not to risk her life for me.”
