Female Novel
Chapter 430 Look Out
Nathan's phone rang at 3 am while he was still fast asleep.
He got up and answered the phone.
Mary's voice came through the line. "Hello, Mr. Cross? This is Mary Sharp. I'm being tracked down.
They want to kidnap me, but nobody will help me. You're the only one who can protect me. Please save
me!”novelbin
Nathan walked out of the bedroom with his phone and frowned. "What's going on? Slow down."
While in tears, Mary briefly explained what was happening.
After finding out that Theodore was after Mary, Nathan asked calmly, "Where are you now?"
"I'm in a small alley across the municipal council. I borrowed this phone from a janitor who cleans the
streets."
"Stay where you are and don't move. I'm coming over right now."
Nathan hung up and got dressed. Seeing the sky flash with lightning, he took a black umbrella with him
and left home.
Mary hugged herself and trembled with fear while crouching in the dark alley. There was a filthy trash
bin nearby that was swarming with rats.
She was cold, hungry and afraid. Just earlier today, this woman was the well-respected tea
connoisseur enjoying everyone's idolization at the Ivory Teahouse.
But tonight, she was like a lost dog and a street rat. Everywhere she went, there were people trying to
hunt her down.
Having remained hidden for half the night, Mary had never suffered this much in her entire life.
Lightning flashed across the sky, followed by thunder. A heavy downpour ensued.
Suddenly, a few black cars stopped in front of the alley. "Mr. Cross?" Mary asked as she happily walked
over.
The moment her words fell, out came a dozen tall, muscular men.
The man leading them was none other than Lucas!
Mary's expression changed abruptly.
Lucas watched as Mary's cheongsam became soaked from the rain, causing it to hug the woman's
body and reveal her curves.
"Mr. Lloyd wants to see you, Ms. Sharp," he said with a smirk. "Be a good girl and come with us. Or do
you prefer us to carry you instead?"
Mary instantly paled. "You're despicable!
You barged right into my teahouse, and now you're chasing after me relentlessly.
Do you think you're above the law?"
Lucas laughed ruthlessly. "Mr. Turner has the final say, and Ocean Corporation IS the law—for
commoners like you, at least.”
He then waved his hand. "Take her away!
Lucas and his men turned to see a tall figure holding a black umbrella.
"Mr. Cross!" Mary exclaimed, almost breaking down.
"Charge!" Content belongs to Draмanоvеls.com
Lucas and his dozen men drew their knives and attacked Nathan.
Nathan walked over indifferently while holding the umbrella with his right hand.
Lucas, who was leading the assault, aimed his sharp dagger at Nathan's chest.
"Look out, Mr. Cross!" Mary screamed.
