Chapter 1655

When Nate first received the message, he had warned them again and again to handle this issue with absolute caution and utmost discretion. As it turned out, he was absolutely right.

Knowing that it was Wendy who took Yasmine away was definitely a blow, but what was happening now was even more serious.

The atmosphere in the lounge room was tense. Nobody dared to breathe, let alone move. Damon's face was as dark as a thundercloud, and nobody dared to meet his gaze.

Chloe soon received a set of photos. They were of a war-torn border, people armed with weapons, devoid of any emotion, and Yasmine, visibly worn out, locked up somewhere.

Seeing these photos, Chloe's calm facade wavered, and her lashes were trembling uncontrollably. There was a message accompanying the photos.

[Aren't you coming? To see your mother one last time]

Even in a simple line of text, Chloe could almost see the smug, crazed expression on Wendy's face.

It was late into the night, and her room was dark. Nate and his men were on guard downstairs. Sitting on her bed, she scrolled repeatedly through the photos and the message. She placed a hand on her belly, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.

After a long moment, she slowly opened her eyes, picked up her phone, and texted Stanley. [I'm coming with you.]

Stanley's call came in less than two seconds. "Are you out of your goddamned mind? That woman wants to lure you there. If you go, won't you be playing right into her hands? She'd be thrilled!"

Chloe remained calm. "| should see her one last time."

Stanley fell silent for a moment. "Are you sure? It's not safe there. What if..."

“There's no need for hesitation. Do you think | can’t protect myself, or... will you let anything happen to me?"

"Damn it! Of course, | won't let anything happen to you! You're just trying to provoke me! Wait for me, I'm coming to get you!"

"Okay: Chloe gave a small smile and quietly responded. She knew Stanley well. They had worked together for a long time, and she was good at understanding people's habits and characteristics.

Throwing her phone aside, she got up, opened her wardrobe, and put on a few loose clothing items, even adding a down jacket. Her slender figure, bundled up, didn't look overly bulky. She was petite to start with, and even with a growing baby or two, she didn't look excessively large. She quickly tied up her hair and left her room without taking anything else.

The moment Chloe's bedroom light came on, Nate became anxious. He was standing beneath her window, looking up at the lit room.

Within a few minutes, word came that Stanley had turned around halfway.

Nate had a hunch about what was going on, but he found it hard to believe.

In his eyes, Chloe was always a smart woman, and she could see through Wendy's obvious intentions. Knowing this, she should choose not to fall into Wendy's trap. But when Chloe, dressed and ready, appeared before him, he was still taken aback.

"Madam!" He rushed forward with his men following closely, subtly forming a protective circle around Chloe.

Chloe was dressed warmly, and her beautiful face was calm and composed.

“lL need to leave now."

Nate straightened up instantly, his body stiffening. "Madam, it's late. You should rest. If you need anything, just let us know..."

“You know what I'm going to do!” Chloe's cold voice cut him off.

“Nate, don't bother hiding it from me. If | want to know something, | will.

Similarly, if | want to leave now, | will. I'll ensure my own safety. You don't need to worry."

Despite Chloe's calm assurance, Nate was visibly troubled. "But, Madam, Mr.

Damon is on his way back. He will handle this. You're pregnant. If anything happens, how am | supposed to explain it to him?"

Chloe calmly insisted, "I've told you, | can protect myself. And this matter... I'd rather handle it myself."

This matter...

Nate understood Chloe's intentions immediately, but he couldn't bring himself to agree. "That place is dangerous. We can't guarantee there won't be any sudden unrest. Madam, you know he wouldn't agree to this. Please go back and rest. We'll take care of this..."

Chloe quietly watched Nate for a moment, then turned and walked towards the door.

"Madam!" Nate was shocked and quickly moved to stop her. “You can't do this. You know Wendy is trying to lure you there. If you show up, we can't guarantee what she'll do. There can't be any risks. If not for your own sake, think about the babies...

Chloe's eyes flickered, and her hands, hidden in the pockets of her jacket, clenched tightly on her belly, trembling slightly.

"| know. | will protect them. | won't let myself be in any danger."

Nate stared at her in surprise. Her tone trembled slightly with a hint of pleading. It startled him. He suddenly realized that he had been hoping that she would take good care of her and the boss’ children. But he had somewhat neglected what a mother meant to a child.

The fact that Chloe's mother was taken away was a Serious matter to him, but if he put himself in her shoes, he could understand her feelings. Children were important to mothers, but mothers were also irreplaceable to children.

Now that her mother was taken away, Chloe couldn't be indifferent to the situation.

He wasn't sure when she had found out about this, but managing to hide her feelings until now was already impressive.

However, Damon's decision was made with Chloe's best interests in mind.

Nate believed that Damon understood Chloe better than he did. If he had thought of these issues, Damon surely had as well. So, Damon would definitely bring Chloe’s mother back safely.

"Madam, the boss is dealing with this... please trust him..."

"This is different.” Chloe retorted. Her gaze dropped, and her voice became icy. "Step aside"

Naturally, none of the men budged.

She reached into the pocket of her down jacket, and with a slender, pale hand, she pushed the man standing in front of her aside. "Don't provoke me, Nate. I'm not in the mood for any emotions right

now"

She had to protect her child. Emotions were of utmost importance to her at this moment.

Everyone was mindful of her feelings, and she had to be, too. No one would love her child more than she did, and no one could love her mother more than she did herself.

Moreover, if she didn't take control of the source of all her blessings and setbacks, she would feel even more dissatisfied. She didn't want such feelings to plague her future life. She should not let Wendy, even in death, control her life!
