Matthew's frown deepened.
A trace of worry flashed across Cecilia's eyes. "Matthew, I believe that Yuna is innocent. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to endure so many days of captivity. Mr. Whitlock and I insisted on releasing Yuna. Tobias is too stubborn.You're well aware of the relationship between the Sherman family and the Whitlock family too. Right now, Yuna's grandfather is calling Peter everyday and putting pressure on him. What are we supposed to do about this?!"
"Don't worry, Madam Lawson. I will talk to Tobias."
"Thank you so much."
The first thing that came into his field of vision when Matthew walked into the study was a large map.
Tobias was standing in front of the map, staring at it.
Matthew saw that every location on the map was marked.
"Tobias," Matthew called.
Tobias turned his head.
His charming face was filled with exhaustion.
"Matthew, you're here."
Matthew nodded. "Tobias, has Natalie not been found yet?"
Tobias' gaze fell, and his voice was hoarse. "I've sent people everywhere."
He pointed at the map. "My subordinates have been looking for Natalie in every possible location, but she still hasn't been found."
Natalie seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
Tobias frowned, his eyes reflecting his complicated emotions.
"Was it Remington who kidnapped her?" Matthew suddenly asked.
His voice was solemn.
Tobias' body stiffened.
"Yes," he answered in a low voice after hesitating for a moment.
Although it was just one word, his voice was subtly trembling.
Matthew's gaze fell on Tobias' face.
He was aware that Tobias was suffering from great pressure. He needed a place to vent and pour out his worries.
As expected, after a while, Tobias said, "Matthew,
I'm worried that he will hurt Natalie. It's been three days, and Natalie has yet to be found. It's dangerous for her to stay with Remington for even a second. I'm really worried."
Tobias' face turned pale. "It's all my fault. I was the one who didn't guard against him. I knew that he had feelings for Natalie, but I thought that his persistence would fade away as time went by. I didn't expect that he would do such a thing!"
Tobias had never thought that Remington would kidnap Natalie.
Speaking up to this point, Tobias looked like was about to collapse. "Matthew, I'm really afraid that something might happen to Natalie!"
Even standing up was a struggle for Tobias. He was suffering every single second, but he could not let himself give up.
The moment he backed down, Natalie's whereabouts would be untraceable forever.
Matthew patted Tobias' shoulder. "Don't worry, Tobias. I have interacted with Natalie a few times. She is a smart girl. She should be able to protect herself. What's more..."
Matthew lowered his voice. "Tobias, if Remington really loved Natalie, he would still respect her, no matter what kind of crazy things he does. Whatever you're worrying about will never
happen."
Tobias took a deep breath.
Even though he agreed with Matthew, he was the one involved in this, unlike Matthew, who was only a bystander. He found it impossible to be so rational about it.
"Where on earth has Natalie been taken to? Why can't we find her?" Matthew's eyes fell on the map again.
The map was densely packed with Tobias' markings. It was clear that Tobias' subordinates had gone all around looking for Natalie.
Tobias couldn't help but feel frustrated. "No matter if it's Agaphen City, England, the United States, or even North Europe, I've already sent people to investigate wherever I could think of, but she was nowhere to be found."
"Is it possible to find Natalie through her and Remington's phone signals?"
