Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Odie's face was calm as he nonchalantly remarked, "So, Ricardo's strapped for cash and wants a ransom, huh?"

"... Yeah."

"Vanessa's been kidnapped. He should be hitting up Colby for the cash. It was Colby, not me, who promised Mr. Elwood to look after Vanessa."

Odie had initially thought it was something more serious. He loosened his tie and said, "Pack your stuff. We don't need to worry about Vanessa. Someone else will handle her mess." "But..." Jonah's expression was hard to decipher, making Odie frown. "Is there more?"

"Sophie... she's been kidnapped too."

Odie was visibly skeptical. "Ricardo managed to kidnap Sophie?"

"I heard it myself. Sophie and Sandy are both there. It seems this time Ricardo wants a hundred billion for ransom!"

Hearing the figure, Odie's smile vanished, replaced by a stern look. "A hundred billion? Is he out of his mind?"

Jonah replied, "Boss, desperate people do crazy things."

Sophie, leaning against her sports car, looked bored. She pulled out her phone and said, "Shouldn't I just call Colby? They have already made their calls. What's Ricardo stalling for?" "Shut up!"

Ricardo glared at Sophie, his face darkening.

He was still undecided about having Sophie contact Colby. With Colby's skills, finding this location wouldn't just mean paying the ransom. It could mean losing his life!

"Looks like you're not an idiot,

Ricardo. You know calling Colby is a

bad move. So why drag me here? To catch up, have a chat? Or maybe haggle You're already three

hundred billion in debt to me aren't you?"

IMS

"Sophie, stop provoking me. Remove your SIM card now! I'll contact Colby myself!"Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Ricardo seemed quite afraid of being traced through her phone. Sophie remained unfazed. She quickly removed the SIM card and tossed it aside.

Ricardo probably didn't expect Sophie to be so decisive and was momentarily stunned.

Sophie stepped forward, "They are

tied up, and it feels odd just standing here. I should remind you, Ms. Sandy is precious to her family. Hurt her, and even if you get the money, the Pollard family won't let you off."

Ricardo hesitated for a moment.

Sophie pointed at Sandy's hands. "Such coarse rope on Ms. Sandy's hands. If her wrists get chafed, her overprotective brother Kiran might just chop off your hands."

Even Sandy, naive as she was,

realized Sophie was helping her. She

quickly added, "Exactly! My brother and dad adore me. If you tie me up like this, my brother will never forgive you!"

Ricardo fell silent for a while. He glanced at Sandy, utterly defenseless, and said, "I might as well untie you, but if you try to run, I'll shoot your legs!"

Sandy was clearly scared by Ricardo's menacing face.

Then, Ricardo began untying the rope from Sandy's hands, but halfway through, he suddenly looked at Sophie and said, "You, come here."
