Chapter 1178 You Will Do Well To Cooperate

After Sabrina’s blindfolds became untethered once more, she discovered that they had been brought to the foot of

a highland.

There was no deserted and densely forested mountainous area like this that ran for hundreds of kilometers in every

direction within Jadeborough.

Sabrina filtered through her own memories, and the name of a location in the neighboring province came to mind

—Mount Illianor.

“Now that we’ve arrived in Illianor, Mr. Duffy, do you think Benedict’s son will come?”

Someone went up to inquire from Daghan, who was leading the convoy the moment they came to a stop.

Sabrina’s face fell when she heard that these people meant to lure Edmund here by using her as bait.

Why a place like this?

Would the mall not be more accessible for Edmund? What are they planning to do by having us taken somewhere

so remote? Could there be a larger conspiracy abound?

The conjecture left Sabrina increasingly unsettled.

“What’s there to worry about? If he’s the one we’re looking for, he’ll surely come for them. All I need is for all of

you to be on standby.”

Predictably so, that was all Daghan had to say.

The gang was then spurred into motion. They promptly ditched their vehicles and began to advance toward the

mountain with their captive in tow.

As dusk was almost upon them, the dangerous prospect of entering this wild terrain with such a wee child roused

Sabrina’s immediate protest once more. “I’m not going in there. My baby’s still so little, and it’s already getting

dark. What am I to do should we run into trouble? I am definitely not doing this.”

“Do you still think that you’ll be getting a say in this at this point?”

Her handler promptly glared at her when it appeared that she would remain defiant and started to become more

aggressive by dragging her along.

That got Sabrina incensed.

On any other day, Sabrina’s personality would have prompted her to go at them even if she stood no chance at

winning.

Taking the well-being of her young daughter into consideration, she complied in the end in order to avoid alarming

the child.

Pfft!

Just as she had expected, a flock of frightened birds bolted out of this secluded forest the moment they stepped

inside, and the resultant commotion jolted little Jaena awake.

“Waah!”

The jittery three-month-old baby’s cries were all that reverberated around this otherwise serene landscape.

“There, there. Mommy’s here. Hush, sweetie. Hush.” The frantic and upset woman could only work quickly to

comfort her daughter.

Owing to her mother’s presence, the little one was able to calm down shortly after some coaxing.

Sabrina exhaled before she turned to regard the gang.

“I’m not going any further! Believe me when I tell you that you can go right ahead and kill me because I’m not

going to move another inch!”

With every word she enunciated, she mounted her fiercest resistance against them yet.

Her handler was about to strike when he was stopped.

“Enough!”

At this critical juncture, Daghan stepped in again. When he approached, he first fixated his eyes upon the baby in

Sabrina’s arms before they shifted onto her face.

“If you’re genuinely worried for your baby, Ms. Sabrina, I have a good way to enable her to sleep through the

night.”

He then produced a tiny black pill from his coat.

That drew a strong reaction from Sabrina. “What are you doing? I’m warning you. Don’t you try anything or else my

brother will surely not let you off!”

“I’m well aware of that, so you will do well to cooperate. As I’m merely following orders and no one wishes to see

you harmed, I hope that you would not make things any harder than it needs to be.”

Surprised to see such candor from him in his open admission to being a hired hand, Sabrina kept herself in check

and spoke no more.

When the group prepared to move off anew with her in the middle of the pack, there was an additional accessory

that Sabrina carried in front of her chest.

It was a backpack of exceptional quality. Emptied of its contents and with the zips drawn up halfway, this pack

functioned well as a serviceable baby carrier, which little Jaena fitted nicely into.

With that, Sabrina carried her daughter as she followed the gang while they ventured inside.

After an hour and a half on foot, they finally reached the mountain’s hinterlands.

There, she saw a few log cabins. Someone whistled when they approached, and the lights in one of the cabins

came on.

“We’re here, Mr. Duffy.”

“Okay. Take them inside first and attend to all her needs.”

Daghan took one glance at Sabrina before he made his way straight for the illuminated cabin.
