Chapter 653

Miranda’s face turned bright red from the slap, stunned into silence.
“Stop trying to intimidate me with his name. I’ve wanted to kill him for a long time!” Sawyer snarled. “If you don’t want to die, keep your mouth shut, and maybe you’ll live.” This shut Miranda up completely.
Nina’s heart pounded, her hands slick with sweat. She was not alone in this. She had a child to think about, so she dared not make any rash moves.
“I’m surprised you’re still alive,” Sawyer sneered at Nina. “Looks like Nash has gone to great lengths for you.”
Nina responded with cold sarcasm, “Nash? What effort? Don’t you know he dumped me? I’d love to kill him myself right now!”
Sawyer glanced at Miranda again, laughing. “Looks like this woman has some tricks up her sleeve, just like her father!”
Nina continued, “I don’t understand why you kidnapped me. Even if you have a grudge against Nash, that has nothing to do with me. We have no conflict!”
“You and I have no conflict,” Sawyer admitted, pacing in front of them. “I know Nash is involved with this woman, but to ensure there were no mistakes, I had to capture both of you!”
To avoid any mistakes, he had captured both of them, Nash’s ex-wife and his rumored girlfriend. Only by having both could he ensure success.
Besides, Miranda’s father had set a trap for him. No matter what, he would not let them off easily. Even if he died, he would take others with him. “They’re coming!” Scarlett burst into the room, looking tense, her eyes fixed on Sawyer. “If you want to make preparations, now is the time!” Nina was startled to see Scarlett but quickly averted her gaze, trying not to show too much emotion.
She did not understand why Scarlett was still there, but she knew that Sawyer could not escape. If Scarlett stayed, she was as good as dead.
Sawyer’s eyes grew cold as he looked at Scarlett. He kicked her hard in the stomach, sending her flying several meters. She got up, enduring the pain, and knelt on the ground. “Where’s Wilfred? Have you and Wilfred betrayed me? Do you think you’re strong enough to break away from me?” Sawyer shouted.
Scarlett replied solemnly, “I swear to follow you to the death. As for Wilfred, I don’t know. If you want me to kill him, I will.”
Sawyer narrowed his eyes and approached Scarlett, crouching down. “So, Wilfred has betrayed me?”
Scarlett said, “I haven’t been in touch with him much lately. He doesn’t tell me his whereabouts, but I overheard him mention Pharaoh once.” This piqued Sawyer’s suspicion. Pharaoh.
It was true that Pharaoh still needed Wilfred. This was also why Sawyer had not acted against Wilfred, despite knowing his disloyalty.
Wilfred was a crucial asset as a healer. He was the only healer and if he died, Pharaoh would notice.
As for Scarlett, whether she lived or died, Sawyer would use her for her last bit of value.
“Take them away!” Sawyer ordered Scarlett.
“Yes!” Scarlett stood up immediately, ignoring her injuries.
With the help of others, they untied the ropes binding Nina and Miranda.
Nina was shocked to see Scarlett get kicked aside but still get back up obediently. She noticed the disdain in Sawyer’s eyes.
He did not see them as humans at all. Scarlett was just a tool, likely to lose her life this time.
With Miranda beside her, Nina could not say much to Scarlett.
Meanwhile, Miranda tried to save herself, speaking to Scarlett, “Scarlett, you don’t need to listen to Sawyer. If you let me go, Nash will wipe them all out, and you’ll be free!”
