The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2427

The moment Zakir announced the fate of Helen and Sophie, everyone else finally let out a sigh of relief.

They were completely safe now!

However, Sophie slumped into a state of extreme desperation. She did not understand why Zakir would choose her mother and herself from more than a hundred people here.

But on second thought, she couldn't help but think,' I'm not trying to brag, but if he considers all the people here in terms of appearance and beauty, Mom and I are indeed the more outstanding ones among them all...' 4

'This Zakir not only looks tough, but he is also a little lecherous. It is reasonable for him to pick Mom and m e among so many people...'

'However, I don't know if he has any other malicious intentions besides wanting us to be his hostages...'

At this point, she looked somewhat nervously at her mother.

Meeting her daughter's gaze, Helen gently patted her hand and whispered comfortingly, "Sophie, don't worry, I'll be there with you. I'll protect you no matter what happens." 3

Sophie whispered back, "Mom, we'd better find a way to send a text to Dad or Grandpa to save us..." 4

Helen shook her head. "No. Neither of them is close enough to save us from this predicament. Besides, look, everyone has put their hands on their heads. What if he finds out that you're trying to reach for your phone?"

Sophie uttered with a desperate expression, "But we can't just go with him like that... That would put us in the passivity..."

As she was speaking, Zakir had already stepped toward them, so Sophie quickly shut up.

Zakir stood in front of them, shrugged, and laughed." Hey sweeties, I need you to come with me for a ride!"

Helen said without hesitation, "You can take me as your hostage. Leave my daughter alone. She is too young and very afraid right now. I'm afraid that she may be mumbling and talking on the journey, and that will upset you."

Upon hearing this, Sophie hurriedly said, "Mom, I'm coming with you!"

Zakir pretended to be surprised and said, "Whoa! I didn't know that you were actually mother and daughter. Madam, you look too young for your age. I couldn't tell that you were her mother at all!" Looking at Zakir, Helen said with a hint of a plea, "Sir, my daughter is very young. She has already suffered a

great shock. Please don't torment her."

At this moment, a woman dressed in a somewhat sultry fashion spoke up, sounding irritated, "Hey!

What do you mean by that?! Since Mr. Luiz has chosen you two, you should resign yourselves to your fate and go with him! Why do you have to do this? You are adding risk to us, do you know that? I advise you to just go with Mr. Luiz obediently and stop bargaining! Argh!"

As soon as she had spoken, someone next to her immediately echoed, "She's right! Why do you have to plead after he has chosen you two? Do you want him to pick one more from among us?!" The sultry woman immediately said, "Yeah! You should just go with him when he picks you! Why are you begging for mercy now? Do you want other people to keep you company as a hostage?" Zakir glanced at the woman and asked with a smile," What's wrong, sweetie? Are you afraid that I will choose you?"

Shocked, the woman hurriedly waved her hands and said, "No, no, Mr. Luiz. I'm so bland and normallooking. You surely won't bat an eye on me. The young lady is much better..." 6

Zakir looked askance at her, smiled wickedly, and said, "Since you know that you are bland and normallooking, I don't think you have to stay in this world to irritate others!" With that, he immediately aimed his gun at the woman.

The woman was scared out of her wits and screamed, " Please spare me!"

Zakir smiled cruelly before he pulled the trigger.
