A Cue For Happiness

Chapter 102 An Enraged Samuel

Despite being helpless, Xavian protectively nudged Sophia to stand behind him.

His heart thumped for a moment. Even so, he did not show a single trace of his anxiety in front of the terrified Sophia.

He mustered all his courage before locking eyes with the man who had a scar on his face. “We’re mere children. Why are you kidnapping us?”

“Please. Who do you think you are?” The scar-faced man sarcastically said while scratching his chin. His gaze then swept past Xavian and landed on Sophia. “Sweet little Sophia Bowers over there is the one we want, not you. The Bowers family will have no choice but to fulfil our demands if we hold her captive.”

The Bowers family? Sophia?

The pieces finally clicked together in Xavian’s mind as he now understood what was happening.

This little girl standing behind me is Samuel’s daughter.

“S-Scared…” Tears poured from Sophia’s eyes as her tiny body trembled fervently.

She had been highly guarded by the Bowers family her entire life.

There were times when she tried to sneak out for fun in the past. That led to two outcomes; someone would catch her right before she could leave her home, or Franklin would get assigned to accompany her.

Today was her first time successfully sneaking out alone to find Natalie. Unfortunately, she failed to find the latter and had somehow ended up in the clutches of the evil scar-faced man.
