Chapter 1449 I Can’t Wait That Long
The kidnappers had also seen Nicholas, and they froze in their tracks as their faces
became ghastly pale.
Before they could react, the bodyguards who were protecting Tessa earlier recognized
them and shouted, "Boss, they're the ones who took Madam away!"
A murderous air exploded out of Nicholas. "Get them!"
At that exact moment, the men he brought with him immediately reacted and fought with
the kidnappers. Of course, the other party wouldn't go down just like that. They refused to
be caught without a fight.
Earlier, they ended the fight with the bodyguards in a draw because of their numbers, but
this time, Nicholas had brought all the men he could bring with him just to search for
Tessa.
The end spoke for itself when the bodyguards captured the kidnappers on the spot, and
one of them had the pleasure of dragging their leader to Nicholas.
Nicholas glowered at him icily and demanded coldly, "Where's my wife?"
The reckless leader merely smirked and deliberately provoked Nicholas, saying, "Your
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwife? I pushed her off the cliff. If you get to the top of the mountain now, maybe you can
still find her body."
A shiver ran down Nicholas' spine when he heard that, and he fixed his dark eyes at the
leader as he hissed through gritted teeth, "If anything untoward happens to my wife, I'll
make your life worse than death itself!"
After he threatened the other man, he bolted toward the top like a madman, and Edward
quickly instructed the others to take the kidnappers away upon seeing that. Then, he
contacted the police and rescue team before going after Nicholas.
A few minutes later, they reached the cliff, and without the need for Nicholas to give them
any instructions, Edward immediately told the men to start searching under the cliff.
"Madam!"
They shouted while searching for Tessa, but it was quiet all around except for the sounds
they were making, and they didn't receive any answer to their calls.
Nicholas stood on the top of the cliff and felt his heart wrenching in indescribable pain,
and his hands were shaking from fear. Just then, he saw that someone from the search
team was coming up, and he rushed to them.
"How was it? Did you find her?"
"We didn't find Madam, but we found a small piece of fabric from her clothes," his man
answered and showed him a small piece of cloth.
Nicholas snatched the cloth out of his hand and saw that it was indeed a fabric from
Tessa's clothes. He was sure because he had personally picked her outfit this morning. He
clutched the cloth in his hand tightly as his body trembled.
"I'm sure you didn't look carefully. Otherwise, why can't you find her? I'm going to look for
her myself. She's probably waiting for me to save her," he said and wanted to dash down
the cliff.
Edward's face paled, and he blocked Nicholas' path with his quick reflexes. "President
Sawyer, calm down!"
"Get lost!"
Nicholas grimly shoved him aside. Edward didn't expect such violent resistance, so he
staggered a couple of steps away. When he noticed that Nicholas was about to jump off
the cliff, he lunged forward without hesitation, grabbed him from behind, and dragged him
backward.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"President Sawyer, you can't go just like this. It's too dangerous."
"Edward, I'm ordering you to release me!" Nicholas snarled with a tightened jaw and tried
to shake him off.
However, Edward clung to him tightly and tried to persuade him, "I know you're worried
about Mistress now, but you don't have any safety equipment with you. So, even if you
find Mistress, you can't bring her out of the cliff at all."
The raging Nicholas became a little calmer at his words, and he added, "Let's wait for the
search and rescue team to arrive with their safety equipment, and if you want to go down,
I'll join you in the search."
Although Nicholas knew that Edward was doing all this for his safety, his nerves were in
tatters, and he honestly couldn't care less for all those trivial things. So, he slipped out of
Edward's hold. Then, he snatched the rope from a man next to them and tied it around his
waist.
"I can't wait that long. Don't worry. I'm going to be all right. Just don't let go of the rope,"
he said and disappeared under the cliff.
Edward was aware that he couldn't stop him no matter what he did after seeing Nicholas'
reaction. So, he instructed the men around him, "Hold the rope steady. If anything
happens to President Sawyer, not even all of your deaths can make up for it! Got it?"
"Yes!"
