As if Shaw could see Yvonne's shock, he waved his wrinkly hand and said, "Henry wants to hear your voice to believe that you’re actually with me. Take it."
Was that so?
Yvonne's eyes flickered and the bodyguard who had brought her the mobile phone freed one of her hands.
After one of her hands was untied, she shook it gently t o relieve the pain in her wrist and reached out to pick up the phone.
The moment she touched the phone, Jacqueline, who was next to her, immediately started yelling frantically, "Yvonne, don’t pick up the phone! Give me the phone, I want to talk to Henry!"
Yvonne frowned and glanced at her as she didn't want to care about her.
Jacqueline went on and on and kept yelling.
She had forgotten where she was at the moment and that the old man in front of her was the person she feared the most.
All she knew at the time was that the phone in Yvonne's hand was her only hope, and the person on the other end of the call was the only one who could save her.
She didn't want to miss this chance!
"Go and teach her a lesson." Shaw squinted his old hawk eyes and he looked displeased as he stared at the agitated Jacqueline. The way he looked at her was as if she was a dead person.
A bodyguard behind him followed his instructions and responded by walking towards Jacqueline.
Soon, Yvonne heard Jacqueline scream and she went silent.
The warehouse became quiet again. Although Yvonne wanted to know what happened to Jacqueline, she told herself not to look at her.
So she tried her best to endure her curiosity and didn't look at Jacqueline, but the cold sweat on her forehead showed her edginess at the moment.
She didn't expect Shaw to be so emotional. Jacqueline was only making some noise and he immediately punished her. It made her realize that she had to be careful with her words, or else she might end up like Jacqueline if she accidentally angered the old man.
She had already learned her lesson once and she knew the extent of Shaw’s viciousness. When she was beaten up last time, Shaw wanted to beat her to death. She certainly didn't want to suffer once again, not to mention that she was still pregnant with a child in her belly. What if she was beaten up until she lost her baby?
Therefore, she could not risk it. The only thing she could do was follow Shaw’s instructions as much as possible, and not say or do any unnecessary stupid things!
As Yvonne thought about this, she took a deep breath before picking up the phone and put it to her ear.
"Yvonne?" Henry's miserable voice sounded from the other end of the phone and there was a trace of tension in his voice.
His voice also sounded hoarser than last night.
Yvonne immediately felt a lump in her throat and a huge sense of grievance surging in her heart. "It's me..."
"Are you okay?" Henry asked her, raising his voice.
Yvonne felt even more depressed and she felt deeply wronged.
She wanted to tell him that she was drenched in ice water because of Shaw and she felt really cold now.
But she didn't dare because she was afraid that if she said it, Shaw would get angry and after the phone call, Shaw might order his men to do something to her.
Therefore, Yvonne could only endure it and answered, "I'm fine..."
"Where are you now?" Henry gritted his teeth and asked.
Yvonne looked at Shaw. "I don't know..."
She could only answer like this.
She wanted to tell him that she was in a warehouse, s o maybe he could use this little clue to find her location.
But Shaw was there and she really didn’t dare to do that!
"I see." On the other end of the phone, Henry closed his eyes and he was not surprised by Yvonne's answer.
Yvonne bit her lower lip. "Henry, is Sue okay?"
"She's okay. A nurse who was off duty found her and she’s awake now," Henry replied.
'This woman was kidnapped and she still cares about others,’ Henry thought.
