Tobias' brows furrowed slightly. "Mother, I have to go, because Natalie's on the ship."

Cecilia was dumbfounded.

After a while, she said incoherently, "How could it be Natalie? Why would she be on the ship, and why are there explosives? I thought you two already made up?" "Mother, Natalie was kidnapped. The culprit has planted explosives on the ship," Tobias said in a low voice.

He had already guessed who it was. It was Queenie.

Earlier, he had thought about who had planned the kidnapping.

Judging from the tone of the message sent, it was a woman.

There were only two women who had a grudge against Natalie. One was Madison, and the other was Queenie.

He'd sent someone to check, and they verified that Madison was still locked up, while Queenie had gone missing. Therefore, it was very likely to be Queenie.

Upon hearing this, Cecilia became even more worried. "How could Natalie get kidnapped? Who would hold a grudge against her? Who would do this?" Tobias' gaze fell on Cecilia's face. "Mother, I can't explain this to you in detail, but Natalie is in danger now. I can't just let her be, I have to save her." Cecilia's emotions were all over the place.

After a while, she pleaded, "Tobias, don't go. Let someone else go. You have so many people answering to you, you can't take this risk!"

"Mother, I must go in person."

"No, no." Cecilia shook her head in panic. "It's too dangerous. Tobias, I can't live without you."

The pleading in Cecilia's tone made Tobias feel some pain in his heart.

He removed Cecilia's hands and said, "Mother, I promise you that I'll be fine. Natalie's in a lot of danger now, and every second that we waste here will make things even more dangerous for her." Cecilia looked at Tobias with tears in her eyes. "Are you really going, Tobias?"

"Yes."

"Have you ever thought about what will happen to

Hayden?"

Tobias' breathing halted for a moment.

He said lowly, "Mother, I can't let anything happen to Natalie. I just can't."

After that, he walked towards the door. Cecilia called out to him again.

Tobias stopped and turned around.

Cecilia rushed over and hugged Tobias. "Tobias, promise me that nothing will happen to you.

Nothing can ever happen to you."

A trace of sorrow flashed through Tobias.

However, he had a relaxed expression on. "Mother, don't worry, it's not a big deal. There's nobody who would hold such a huge grudge against Natalie, Benjamin was just exaggerating. I'll be fine."

Cecilia nodded.

Tobias' words were exactly the same as what she was thinking.

To Cecilia, Natalie was just a young lady. There was no way she could have such a strong rivalry with someone. They were probably just trying to scare them.

Though Tobias would probably in danger, Cecilia didn't think that it'd be too serious.

However, as a mother, she just couldn't help it. She didn't want her son to come to any harm at all.

However, with Tobias being so insistent, Cecilia could not do anything about it.

She could only pray that nothing would happen to Tobias and that nothing would go wrong.

Benjamin was making use of every minute and every second to make preparations.

After Cecilia failed to persuade Tobias, Benjamin had completely given up hope.

Obeying Tobias' orders had already become Benjamin's faith, so he had no choice but to do this.

When night was about to fall, Tobias sent a text message to Queenie.

"I'll be there in one hour."

After sending the message, he got in the car.

Benjamin drove.

"Is everything ready?" Tobias asked in a low voice.

Benjamin nodded. "However, Mr. Whitlock..."

He still wanted to persuade Tobias.

"Shut up!" Tobias' gaze was sharp.

Benjamin's face turned pale and he did not dare to say a word.

"Remember what I've told you?" Tobias said again.

Benjamin said mechanically, "Yes. The most important thing is to protect Miss Godfrey."

Tobias nodded. "You have to speed up when you're escaping. Remember that."

Benjamin's heart sank.

Why did he feel as if Tobias was uttering his last words?

Benjamin didn't dare to say anything, though. He knew that Tobias had already made up his mind, and there was no way Benjamin could get him to change it. Queenie received a text message.

It was from Tobias.

After seeing the content of the message, her face darkened.

She threw her phone to the ground in anger.

Tobias was really coming!

What was it about Natalie, the b*stard, that made such a powerful man as Tobias willingly risk his life to come save her?

Queenie could not figure it out.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

She rushed over to Natalie and gave her a tight slap. "Natalie, you b*tch! Tobias is really coming, without a care for his life. What exactly did you do to Tobias to bewitch him like this?" Natalie's fingertips trembled uncontrollably, and her face turned pale.

Tobias was actually coming?

How could he be so stupid? Didn't he know what he was going to be facing?

How could he come here without a care in the world?

Even if he did not think of himself, didn't he think about Hayden?

"Tobias, you idiot!" thought Natalie.

Tears formed in Natalie's eyes. She tried her best to control herself so that they wouldn't fall.

Seeing that Natalie had lost her composure, Queenie felt better.

She huffed and said, "Well, it's good that he's coming. You two can die together, then."

She'd originally planned on killing Tobias here as well, so him coming was in line with her plan anyway.

However, at the thought of Tobias willingly giving up his life for Natalie, Queenie felt extremely uncomfortable.

Her jealousy was driving her mad.

What right did Natalie have to meet such an outstanding man?

Whatever Natalie wanted, she got. Meanwhile, Queenie could not.

Queenie desperately tried to suppress the discomfort.

She consoled herself by telling herself that it was good enough for her to take Tobias' life. She was getting revenge for herself.

The car stopped.

Tobias got off.

"Mr. Whitlock." Benjamin called him again.

He rolled down the window. "Mr. Whitlock, are you really not going to think about it again? It's extremely dangerous there. Maybe I should go, and you wait here." Tobias' expression was cold. "Benjamin, I never knew you liked to speak such rubbish. When have I ever changed my mind after making a decision?" Benjamin was fearful.

"I have only one order, and that is to protect Natalie." Tobias looked at Benjamin coldly.

Benjamin's eyes suddenly turned red, but he could not say anything.

"Mr. Whitlock, maybe I can go with you." Tobias had already taken a few steps when Benjamin suddenly said this.

Since Tobias wanted to go, then he might as well follow.

Even if they were to die, they would die together. At least he'd be able to fulfill his duty as Tobias' subordinate.
