Chapter 1177
After she had hung up the phone, Sally recalled her last visit to the prison. She had asked Gerald about the bullets,
but Gerald had told her that he had signed too many documents and that it was impossible for him to remember
everything.
Both the gun and the bullets were taken by Dad. He was the one who signed the slip. How does one simply forget
something like this?
Nonetheless, Sally refused to believe that Gerald would kill Ethan.
Just as Sally was lost in a daze, her phone rang again.
"Sally, Cooper's with me.”
Upon hearing Stefan's voice, Sally instantly regained her senses. “Where are you? Did you kidnap Cooper?”
To her dismay, Stefan ended the call without another word.
Panicked, Sally quickly called Stefan's number, but no one picked up.
Stefan had never liked Cooper because Sally had married him to save the Loake family. Worried that her brother
would do something to harm Cooper, Sally immediately rang Steven.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo her surprise, Steven was already in Jadeborough.
Within minutes of waiting, Steven returned. With a solemn expression, he pulled Sally to the side. “We found the
person who previously kidnapped Mandy,” Steven announced.
Usually, Steven only had to convey such news to Cooper, and the men would get it sorted. It was out of the norm
for Steven to inform Sally about the case.
It didn't take long for Sally to piece together the clues and figure out the culprit. Her expression darkened as she let
out a low hiss. “Stefo has kidnapped Cooper. Look after the kids. I'll go to Baykeep right away.”
Steven was taken aback by the sudden news. “No wonder all my calls to Cooper kept ending up in voicemail. He
went on a business trip to Xedells, so I thought he was just busy.”
Sally did not stay and chat. After leaving Steven with instructions, she left.
Approximately half an hour later, Sally arrived at Baykeep on a helicopter. Upon landing, she gave Stefan another
call.
This time, Stefan picked up.
“I've reached Baykeep. Where are you, Stefo?” Sally's tone was ice-cold. “Cooper is not an enemy to the Loake
family. Do not act rashly.”
“I'm at the hotel where you guys previously stayed in,” Stefan stated.
Sally hurried over to the hotel and dashed to the topmost floor of the building. Reining in her temper, she banged
on the door of the presidential suite forcefully.
The door was opened immediately.
Stefan was wearing a plain hoody. The short hair above his forehead was slightly ruffled. Paired with his broad
shoulders and long legs, the outfit made him look young.
Before Stefan could even speak, Sally raised her hand and slapped him harshly across the cheek. Her expression
was dark. “Marrying Cooper was my decision. Didn't I ask you not to meddle in my business? Do you understand
how important Mandy is to Cooper? You almost killed a five-year-old!”
If it weren't for the fact that Stefan was her brother and that Gerald had always advised her to take care of Stefan,
Sally would not hesitate to give him more than just a slap.
Feeling the throbbing on his cheek, Stefan turned his head to face Sally without uttering a word before opening the
door wider to let her in.
With just a glance, Sally realized that Cooper was not in the living room. When she noticed that one of the room
doors was shut, she immediately assumed that he was in there.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust as she stepped toward the door, she felt a sharp pain at the back of her neck.
Sally was an agile woman. Plenty of people had tried to ambush her before, but none of them had succeeded.
Since the person standing behind her was her own brother, Sally had let down her guard. Never would she have
suspected Stefan would lay a hand on her.
Due to the element of surprise, Sally did not have enough time to react. Her vision began to blur, and then it was all
dark.
The next thing she knew, she was waking up on a bed. Her arms and legs were not tied up, but it felt as though all
the energy inside her body had been drained out. Each breath she took was proving to be a challenge.
Sally realized that she had been injected with a low dose of anesthetics, causing her to go limp. Although conscious,
she could not move her body.
Hearing some noise, Sally summoned all the strength she could muster to turn her head in the direction of the
sound. She saw Cooper leaning against the wall, unconscious. Stefan was squatting in front of him and inserting a
needle under the latter's skin.
“Stefan.” Unable to breathe properly, even her voice was weak. “Are you done with this madness?”
Chastising herself for being naive enough to think that family wouldn't harm each other, she regretted letting her
guard down in front of Stefan.
