Chapter 1628 The Mastermind
“Voluntarily? No, I don’t believe it! He would never have agreed to it if he had a choice!”
Nina was sure about it because she had heard from her grandfather that Chris foresaw that someone was after his life and that it was likely related to his family’s feud.
Thus, she refused to believe the older woman’s words.
The woman let out a long sigh, but before she could say anything else, she spotted the approaching kidnappers.
“She’s right there!”
“Hurry up and seize her! Don’t let her run away!”
When the men were merely a few steps away from the two women, the older woman swiveled her wrist, jumped, and took down one of them with a powerful punch.
Moving at lightning speed, she sent the other kidnappers sprawling across the ground with a few kicks.
“Oh, my God! This woman is too powerful! She almost broke my leg with her kick!”
“My arm and stomach hurt so much!”
“W-Who are you? Why are you messing with us?”
“None of you are worthy of knowing my name!” Standing with arms akimbo, the woman looked down on them. “Answer me this—who sent you to come after her? You guys tailed her since her trip to the cemetery, so clearly, you are well aware of her whereabouts!”
The kidnappers refused to tell her the truth.
“We have no idea! We are merely doing our job!”
“That’s right! We’re just carrying out the orders since they paid us. Why would they reveal their actual identity to us?”
“Yeah! We’re clueless as well!”
Nina’s expression turned grim as she could not believe they had been tailing her since her trip to the cemetery.
But only one person is aware of my trip to the cemetery to pay my respects to Chris! Not even my parents are aware of my arrival at K Nation! Could it be her?
“What about that person’s contact number? You should have it too, right?” she asked.
“Y-Yes.”
“What is it?”
The kidnapper showed Nina the number, but she did not recognize it.
That makes sense. Since she intends to conceal their identity, she wouldn’t use the same number permanently.
“Call her and tell her you’ve completed the task! Do it on speaker!” Nina ordered. In that way, she would be able to recognize the mastermind through their voice.
The kidnappers hesitated, and one asked, “What if she wants us to send her the photos? Haven’t you heard us? We’re supposed to send photos of you being raped by us.”
“Tell her you’ll send them immediately after.”
The kidnappers still dawdled. How are we supposed to send them when we don’t have any?
Having lost her patience, the older woman snapped, “Are you going to do it or not? Do it, or else I’ll beat you up!”
Well aware of her capabilities, they agreed without a second thought, “Y-Yes, we’ll make the call at once!”
The mastermind answered the call immediately after the number was dialed, and the kidnappers had it on speaker as requested.
“We have taken care of everything, including the disposal of her corpse!”
“What do you mean? How or where have you disposed of her corpse? Where are the photos?”
Nina’s heart sank the moment she heard the woman’s puzzled voice. Her guess was spot on—the mastermind was none other than Melanie.
“It’s time for you to honor your promise and transfer the rest of the sum to us!”
“I’ll transfer the sum right away once you send me the photos!”
“Why would you want the photos of a deceased woman?”
“I’m going to show them to the men who are in love with her! I want them to know she was a wh*re so that everyone disdains and detests her even after she’s dead!”
“Uh… Just how much do you loathe her?”
