When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1737 I Want His Life

Cecilia turned around, looking at him with a touch of confusion. "Is there something else?"

"You'll have to help me record a video. I almost forgot,” the man said.

Without any suspicion, Cecilia joined these people and filmed a video of herself being victimized.

"All right. You can go now."

Just as Cecilia was about to leave, she asked, "What about the secretary and assistant who were with me, and my bodyguard?"

"Oh, those people were just briefly detained. Their lives aren't in danger."

Only then did Cecilia completely relax, and without looking back, she walked away.

Once she reached outside, she realized she was on a desolate mountain, devoid of any human presence.

Following the man's instructions, she found a small path to the right and quickly made her way down it.

She feared that if she moved too slowly, the man might end up regretting it later.

At that time, the sky was somewhat dim, and the path was littered with thorns. Cecilia's arms and legs were scratched by the thorns as she traveled. Despite the pain, she endured and continued to press onward.

There was a main road nearby, but the man had mentioned that it was being guarded, and she could expose herself.

Ralph was on the other side, guarding the place with his men.

He also saw the video sent by the man.

"Cassandra, look, Cecilia is finally gone. Now, there's no one left to come between

us."

Cassandra watched the recently filmed clip, brimming with immense joy. She felt no remorse or fear about her actions.

"That's great, Dad. Why don't you call and see how things are going with Mr. Herrera?"

After kidnapping Cecilia, she had sent someone to fetch Grover.

Ralph picked up his phone and made a call. After receiving a response, he let out

a long sigh. "Mr. Herrera is under their control. All that's left is for him to forge a

will for the inheritance. Once Queenie is out of the picture, everything will be settled."

Cassandra furrowed her brows at the mention of Queenie.noveldrama

"It's okay. Now that her only biological daughter is gone, she only has you, her adopted daughter." Ralph patted her shoulder. "Once we have Mr. Herrera on our side, things will be much simpler in the future."

"Mm-hmm." Cassandra nodded repeatedly.

While they guarded the main road, they were oblivious to the fact that Cecilia had already slipped away through another path.

The group they had hired had also fled overseas once they received the money.

The billion Azanian currency had gone to waste.

The night was still young.

Finally, Cecilia emerged from the narrow path. She was so exhausted at that moment that she was gasping for air, her legs devoid of any strength.

She was both hungry and thirsty, unsure of what time it was. All she could do was continue walking along the edge of the highway.

Occasionally, there were passing cars, but she dared not hitch a ride, fearing the potential dangers and those who might wish her harm.

Meanwhile, Scorpius and Queenie were actively searching for Cecilia.

Nathaniel was also informed about the situation.

They found the bodyguards and secretaries who had been with Cecilia, and none of them had sustained any injuries.

Queenie clenched her fists. "Cut off all business dealings with Wacian. I want his life!"

If anything were to happen to her daughter, Wacian and his family wouldn't stand

a chance to continue as they were.

Wacian had been framed and was completely unaware of the situation. Upon discovering that Cecilia's disappearance was linked to him, he immediately apologized to Queenie incessantly.

Queenie glared at him. "You better pray nothing happened to my daughter."

At that moment, Scorpius hurried over.

"Mdm. Queenie, we've located Ms. Cecilia."

"Let's go." Queenie rose to her feet, almost toppling over in the process.
