My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 1406

Crash.

The phone slipped from Selina's grasp and fell onto the sheets.

Matthew's heart tightened.

He picked up the phone and asked, "Selina, what's wrong?"

Selina's face turned pale. "I'm fine."

She took the phone from Matthew and put it back to her ear.

"Selina, are you alright?" Tobias queried.

"I'm okay." Selina took a deep breath. "No matter what, I want an answer. You have to get that answer for me. Dead or alive, I want to see him!"

"Alright," replied Tobias.

Selina hung up.

"Selina, what happened?" Matthew immediately questioned.

Selina shook her head absent-mindedly.

Matthew put his hands on her face and gazed deeply into her eyes. "Selina, I am your partner. You should tell me. If you have any trouble at all, come to me right away. Not Tobias."

Selina met Matthew's gaze.

The look in his eyes was like a deep, bottomless ocean.

Selina's lips quivered, and it seemed as though she was forcing every word out. "It's

Lothar. Tobias said that he might be dead."

Reid was packing up.

He ordered Caroline to pack her things as well.

"Let's go," Reid instructed Caroline. "We can't stay here anymore. We have to hide."

Caroline was baffled. "Hide from what? Where should we hide?"

"America." Reid gave Caroline a profound look.

When Caroline heard that, she didn't want to go.

America was where she came from. If she went there, what was the point of her staying with Reid?

"We haven't seen that matter with Selina to the end, and we're leaving just like this? I want to remain here and observe that woman," Caroline protested.

Reid scoffed coldly. "Then you stay here and observe. I'll be leaving first."

Caroline panicked. "Reid, what do you mean? You can't leave me here alone! Don't forget that we're

on the same boat!"

If it weren't for Reid, she would not be able to stay in Agaphen City.

Looking down at Caroline, Reid said, "It's precisely because we're on the same boat that I'm asking you to leave now. Matthew is back,"

Caroline didn't take that seriously at all.

"Saoirse won't tell Matthew, so we don't need to fear."

Reid looked at Caroline mockingly. "Do you know why I've lived for so long? It's because I know how to take precautions! Do you really think that Matthew is that dumb? Before, he was pestered by Saoirse, so he did not come our way or think of us. However, I've been informed that Saoirse has not returned with Matthew. He has dumped that burden, so we have to be careful, or else..."

Reid paused. After he mused over it, he decided that it was best to leave Caroline in the dark.

Most importantly, his calculations had gone all wrong.

He had originally thought that no one would know if Lothar was dead. However, Selina came asking him about Lothar. He was prepared to tell Selina that Lothar was a nobody, just a dog of his. Then, Selina would drop the matter.

However, he had not foreseen that she would continue investigating. What's more, there was a more powerful force in the shadows investigating what went down with Lothar.

If he were to guess, that person was probably affiliated with Selina.

Now that Matthew had returned, she might ask Matthew to take action too.

One wrong move and the whole plan would crumble. Reid's top priority was avoiding trouble.

"Then, let's hurry. I'm really worried about Lothar."

After all, Reid was evidently a cruel and merciless person.

"That's right, how is Reid connected to Lothar? Why would he want to abduct Lothar?" Matthew asked out of the blue.

He had no time to ask that in the car since they were rushing all the way there.

Selina caught her breath.

After a pause, she spilled the beans to Matthew.

Matthew was left shell-shocked.

Although he had not been in contact with Lothar for quite a while, Lothar had given him positive impression. He was definitely not a person who would collude with Reid.

Matthew said, "That's just what Reid said. You can't believe him that easily,"

Selina shook her head. "No, Reid let me listen to their conversation over the phone.”

"Selina, have you forgotten that someone once used a fake voice call to separate us?" Matthew reminded her.

A lightbulb lit up in Selina's head.

She really would have wiped that incident from her mind completely, had it not been for Matthew's reminder.

She looked at Matthew with hope in her eyes. "If you hadn't said that, I wouldn't have thought of it. Right, right! It must be a fake recording made by Reid."

However, as soon as the words left her mouth, more suspicions reared their heads. "Why would he do that? Why did he make fake recordings and kidnap Lothar? Lothar is just an ordinary person."

Matthew couldn't figure out why either.

He said, "I have sent my subordinates to investigate. When they get their results, everything will be made clear."

Selina nodded. The hurt and worry in her heart vanished instantly.

It turned out that Lothar really wasn't that kind of person. He had never meant to harm her.

Selina was the one who had trusted Reid too easily!
