Female NovelChapter 325
Colby quickly started the car, and Sophie fastened her seatbelt again..
In the dead of night, Colby’s car sped towards the Russell estate, running every red light along the way.
By the time Sophie got to
the Russell estate, the place was in disarray. Tricia and a group of battered bodyguards were sitting inthe living room. Upon seeing Sophie, they all stood up.
“Ms. Sophie!”
Tricia approached and said, “Everyone is accounted for except for Isaac. James has left Jessica in thebasement.”
“I’ll go check on her.”
Sophie hurried to the basement, with Colby leading the way, fearing that Jessica, in desperation, mightdo something to harm Sophie.
As Sophie opened the basement door, Jessica immediately lunged at her, but before she could getclose, Colby kicked her back.
“Please! I beg you, release my son!” Jessica was terrified. She was locked up in the basement for lessthan half an hour, and the darkness had nearly driven her mad.
“Did James take Isaac? Did he leave any message?”
Jessica shook her head frantically. “Nothing at all! He just took my son without a word. Sophie, I knowit’s my fault. This was my bad idea and had nothing to do with my son! Please, let my son go.”
Sophie couldn’t get any useful information from Jessica. She frowned slightly and said to Tricia, “Let’sgo.”
“Yes, Miss.”
“Sophie! Please, let me out! Save my son! I’m begging you. Please save my son!” Jessica’s voicefaded as the basement door closed behind them.
Sophie walked out of the basement with a severe headache. “Find out where James has taken Isaacwithin an hour.”
“I’ve already sent people to investigate, but I’m afraid it might be difficult to find him.”
James‘ reputation in Devonport wasn’t unfounded. The Burke family’s influence in Devonport hadallowed them to employ some unsavory methods over the years.
Isaac had caused such a stir and James probably took him away for revenge.novelbin
Although Sophie wanted to teach Isaac a lesson, she never intended to take his life. After all, he wasUncle Perry’s only child.
“Sophie?”
Colby’s voice sounded near, and as Sophie looked up, the figure in front of her seemed to blur. Sheshook her head, trying to clear it, but her vision still blurred, and the next moment, she collapsedbackward.
“Sophie!” Colby caught Sophie in his arms, touching her forehead.
Sophie’s face appeared flushed, and her breathing was unstable.
“She’s running a fever.” Colby frowned, lifted Sophie in his arms, and said to Tricia beside him, “Call adoctor now. I want them here in twenty minutes!”
“Right away!”
Tricia immediately went to call a doctor, while Colby, holding Sophie, went upstairs to her room, and layher gently on the bed.
The room’s dim lamp cast a soft light as Colby touched Sophie’s forehead again, his frown deepening.
Tricia said from the doorway, “Mr. Colby, the doctor is on their way.”
“Get some cold water.”
