Chapter 787 The System is Down
"What?!! She escaped! Someone rescued her? Who the hell is that person?! What happened to your team?" Monica was yelling over the phone.
She received a call from her underling, informing her that Abigail escaped with someone. "Our hideout was burnt into ash. Someone planted several bombs in the different areas of our hideout. Four men died and the rest were injured. We are clueless about who helped her."
"How could that be possible? No one knew your location. Not even Nathan could trace your hideout!" Monica\'s voice was filled with hysteria as she struggled to accept this failure.
"I\'m sorry, Madam..."
"Useless! You\'re all useless!" She screamed before abruptly ending the call.
In a fit of anger, she hurled her phone across the room, the clatter of its impact echoing her frustration.
"They couldn\'t even handle one woman. If I were there, I would have injected her with a poison that would have finished her off instantly!"
"Fine! If they can\'t do their job well, I\'ll handle the things from now on!" Monica swore to herself.
She started plotting her next scheme. "Phantomflake, you are the reason why Vincent broke up with me. I will make her life miserable! I\'ll take away the most precious person in her life!"
*****
Meanwhile, at Sparks Mansion…
Jane and Nathan continued tracing Abigail\'s location. Nathan mobilized the members of the Syphiruz Mafia to find her, searching every corner of the city and the nearby towns.
Nathan could see the toll that the situation was taking on Jane, her normally composed demeanor now replaced by a sense of desperation. Her fingers trembled as she worked on her laptop.
Jane sat at the desk, her eyes glued to the screen of her laptop. Each passing moment felt like an eternity as she sifted through data, trying to piece together any clue that might lead them to her sister. Her heart pounded with every click of the keyboard, her thoughts consumed by the fear of what might happen to Abigail if they didn\'t find her soon.
As time dragged on, Jane\'s distress only deepened. She fought back tears, trying to stay strong for her family, but the fear and anxiety gnawed at her from the inside.
Nathan could no longer bear to see her like this. "Jane…" he called out, grabbing her wrist.
Jane temporarily stopped what she was doing and looked up only to see Nathan\'s serious expression.
"Did you get a call from your subordinate? Do you have any updates?" she asked him anxiously.
But Nathan shook his head. He pulled her up and engulfed her body in his strong arms. He wanted to hug her to comfort her.
"Jane, calm down. We will find Abigail. We will save her no matter what."
When Jane heard that, she suddenly burst into tears. She began to sob in his arms, burying her face on his chest. "Nate… I\'m afraid… I won\'t be able to forgive myself if something bad happens to my sister."
Nathan broke the hug and lifted her chin. He wiped her tears away, his fingers softly brushing her cheeks.
"I\'ll hunt them down, Jane. I promise. I will make them pay…" Nathan made a solemn promise.
Their conversation was interrupted when Jane\'s phone received a call.
*Sound of Ringtone*
Her heart leaped to her throat as she rushed to answer it, hoping for any sign of good news.
"Black Rose! Did you find her?" Jane asked with urgency in her tone.
"Sis… Yes. I found her. Abigail is now safe. She is currently in the hospital where Dave is admitted. Go there now and you will be able to see her."
Jane\'s face brightened up when she heard the piece of good news. She looked at Nathan, informing him that Abigail had been found.
"Nate, my sister is safe. Let\'s go and meet her in the hospital." She could hardly contain the rush of emotions welling up inside her.
Nathan nodded, grabbing Jane\'s hand. He hurriedly pulled her, dashing out of the house. The couple rushed to the hospital.
Moments later, at the hospital…
Jane found Abigail sitting on the chair next to Dave\'s sickbed. She was crying while holding Dave\'s hand.
"Abi!" Jane called out, making Abigail look in her direction.
"Big Sis…" She sobbed.
Jane ran in her direction. Upon reaching her spot, she pulled Abigail into a tight hug.
"Are you okay? Were you hurt? What did they do to you? Do you know where their hideout is located? Please… tell me they didn\'t touch you." Jane bombarded Abigail with so many questions. Her voice trembled in nervousness. Soon, she pulled back to check Abigail\'s body. She scanned her from head to toe, checking for any signs of assault and injury. She clenched her teeth when she saw some bruises around Abigail\'s arms and legs. The marks of the rope were also visible on her skin.
"Big Sis, don\'t worry. They were not able to touch me. A mysterious guy saved me. He blew up the entire hideouts of those bad guys."
A radiant smile spread across Jane\'s face as she listened to Abigail. She felt grateful to the person who saved her.
"Where is your savior? I want to talk to him."
But Abigail shook her head. "I don\'t know. He suddenly disappeared after rescuing me. I didn\'t recognize him. I happened to hear the news that Dave was rushed to this hospital."
Abigail fulfilled her promise of keeping Butler Li\'s secret. She didn\'t tell Jane that Butler Li was the one who rescued her.
"Sis, Will Dave be okay?" Abigail was worried-sick about her fiancé. "He got hurt because of me…"
"No! Don\'t blame yourself, Abi. This is not your fault…" She caressed her cheeks.
"Big sis, Tell me. Do you know who did this?" A cold glint flashed through Abigail\'s eyes. She was angry because Dave got hurt.
"We have our suspicions. The only person in mind who can do this is none other than… Monica." Nathan joined the conversation.
Abigail\'s face turned ashen when Monica\'s name was mentioned. She already heard the story about Monica stealing Helena\'s identity.
"Because of this incident, we have to postpone my engagement party with Dave. He needs to recover first before we proceed to our wedding." Abigail couldn\'t hide the sadness in her tone. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Everything will be fine," Jane consoled her.
"Why don\'t you and Nathan marry each other first?" Abigail suddenly suggested, changing the topic.
Nathan and Jane exchanged glances with one another. They were caught off guard by Abigail\'s sudden suggestion.
Nathan was about to say something but Jane spoke up first.
"We can\'t. There are lots of things happening right now. We need to focus on catching the culprit and defeating the enemies. That\'s not our priority."
Nathan\'s eyebrows were drawn together upon hearing that. He wanted to object and refute her last remarks but he chose to remain silent.
\'What if I want to marry her now? There is nothing wrong with that. We can catch the culprit and defeat our enemy together… as husband and wife.\' Nathan thought to himself.
"Sir! Sir! There is an emergency!" Axel suddenly showed up, interrupting the three.
The crease on Nathan\'s forehead deepened further. "What is it this time?"
"The company is in chaos! Our whole system… is down."
