Natasha drove the car with a frosty expression.
There was an uncontrollable fury hidden beneath her eyes that looked as calm as a pool of water.
Thea sat in the backseat with her limbs tied together. She was the perfect example of what a kidnap victim would look like. No matter how much she struggled, she could not move an inch.
However, Natasha did not seal Thea's mouth.
Hence, Thea could be heard panicking throughout the journey. “Natasha, where are you taking me? Speak up! Where are you taking me? Do you know this is called kidnapping? Let me go, Natasha!
What the hell do you want?”
Thea was on the verge of breaking down.
“Tell you what, Natasha. You brought me out of the bar. You won't be able to get out of this if something happens to me. Do you hear what I'm saying? Natasha! Ah!” Thea yelled.
No matter what Thea said in the backseat, Natasha drove in a deadpan manner like a robot.
Finally, Thea lost control over her emotions and shouted, “Natasha, you're mad! You're mental! You know what? I'll definitely get the police to arrest you!”
Her words finally caught Natasha's attention, and she looked at Thea through the rearview mirror.
Noticing Natasha's reaction, Thea thought her words were working and continued, “If you let me go now, I can consider not looking into this matter and pretend as if it never happened.”
Thea named her condition confidently, wanting to negotiate with Natasha.
Yet, Natasha merely curled her lips into a smirk and drove faster.
Thea frowned when Natasha did not respond. “Natasha, what's the meaning of this? Can't you say something? Are you mute? Oh, for goodness' sake, say something, Natasha!”
Thea was so annoyed that she cursed, but Natasha continued driving calmly, completely unbothered by her words.
Seeing the process of Thea slowly having a mental breakdown was the very reason Natasha kept her mouth shut.
She wanted to see Thea lose her mind.
After all, the idea of facing the unknown was the scariest and most torturous feeling for a human.
Just then, Natasha's phone rang.
She hesitated to answer it when she realized it was from Kenneth.
However, the phone kept ringing until Natasha finally answered it. She put it on speaker mode.
As soon as the call was connected, Kenneth asked without beating around the bush, “Nat, where are you?
“In the car.”
“Of course, I know you're in the car. Where are you taking her?”
Natasha did not answer.
Kenneth sounded slightly anxious. “Nat, tell me your current location. I'll go there right now. No matter what happens, let me face it with you.”
“No. I can handle this myself.”
“Nat!”
“Kenneth...” Natasha suddenly spoke, but she fell silent after hesitating for several seconds.
“What's wrong?”
“Forget it. It's nothing,” replied Natasha.
“Nat, where on earth are you taking her?”
“Tell Denise to wait for me to return!”
The moment Natasha was about to hang up after saying that, Thea yelled toward the phone, “Kenneth, help me! Natasha's gone crazy! I don't know what she's going to do to me! Kenneth, please help me!”
