A Cue for Love novel Chapter 1111

Chapter 1111 Concern

Upon hearing Natalie’s words, Zophie paled even more. It was only then she realized Natalie’s previous helplessness was a deliberate act to buy time. Natalie had been waiting to strike the entire time.

Zophie remained stubborn as she said, “How could you use such disgusting tricks against me? Don’t let me catch you or I’m never going to let you off the hook!”

“Do you really still need to say these things at a time like this?” Natalie remarked as she looked at Zophie’s hands, which were getting more and more purplish with each passing second. “You’d better save some energy. This poison will seep into the nerves in your hands over time, and the pain will only get worse.”

Natalie walked over to Zophie to restrain her. However, at that moment, a group of men in Loang military uniform charged in, and Jerome was the one leading them.

“Jerome?” Natalie was confused. “What are you—”

“I received an order from the higher-ups to arrest Zophie,” Jerome said with a frown. “This woman is dangerous, so leave her to me. I’ll send someone to send you home.”

Jerome’s answer only made Natalie even more confused. “Just one question, Jerome. Is this an order, or is this your idea?”

After a few seconds of hesitation, Jerome said, “I’m sorry, but it’s an order.”

Having received her answer, Natalie did not ask any more questions and inclined her head at Jerome. “Okay.”

Jerome and his men were quick to subdue Zophie. Her mouth was then duct-taped, and her wrists and ankles were soon cuffed.

As Zophie was an important member of Blaze, Jerome had to personally escort her to a secret prison in Yaleview that held the worst criminals.

Natalie emerged from the situation with multiple injuries and tattered clothes.

Perhaps Jerome had forgotten about it in his haste to depart, but the man whom he said was going to send Natalie back did not appear.

However, that was only his exterior.

Perhaps Natalie had only been attracted to his exterior back when they first met, but now she knew very well that the man was terrifyingly cunning.

Even what happened this time had exceeded her expectations.

“Concern for me?” Natalie scoffed. “If your concern means watching me struggle helplessly in a perilous situation and nearly dying, then please show this concern to someone else. I don’t think I’m worthy enough for this concern.”

Jerome had come at the perfect time—not too early nor too late.

She refused to believe that Bastien had just arrived. Instead, she was sure that Bastien had seen her fight to the death with Zophie.

Then, when Zophie was no longer a threat, Jerome and his men appeared like knights in shining armor. Yet, when she was in the most danger—when things looked as though it was going to take a turn for the worse—she only had Billy and Sarah protecting her from the shadows.
