Chapter 936
"Me?"
"Yes, you're going to take her place!"
Sandy was just a pawn in this game, but Ricardo's real grudge was against Sophie. It was Sophie who had put him in this mess.
Ricardo's eyes were cold as he said, "Sophie, you've got too many tricks up your sleeve. I can't trust you. If you don't come over here, don't expect me to let her go first."
"Then don't let her go. When push comes to shove, it's you the Pollard family will be after, not me. Just a heads-up, Mr. Ricardo, if you kidnap me and I get hurt, Colby will make sure you regret it."
"You..."
"But I'll agree to your terms, I'll trade myself for Ms. Sandy. I'll walk over and let you take me hostage."Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Seeing Ricardo hesitate, Sophie added, "Mr. Ricardo, you know as well as I do, with my mediocre skills, I might take down a few amateurs, but I'm no match for you."
Hearing this, Ricardo chuckled coldly, "At least you know your limits."
Finally, Ricardo untied the ropes binding Sandy's wrists.
Sandy's wrists were red and sore from the ropes. She had been pampered her whole life and had never been tied up like this. Though she was itching to slap Ricardo, the gun in his hand kept her in check.
Meanwhile, Colby was driving with his team towards the location, keeping an eye on the GPS. He had been worried about Sophie meeting Sandy alone at night, and noticing her heading towards an abandoned factory in the outskirts, he was on his way.
Inside the car, Colby's phone rang. The voice on the other end asked, "Boss, how many people do you need?"
Colby replied coolly, "No need for backup."
"No backup? But Ricardo's got your wife!"
Their team had found out that Ricardo had recently come overseas and had been skulking around Dragonvein Hotel. Not only had he kidnapped Sophie, but also Vanessa and Sandy.
Things were so tense, and Colby still said no to backup?
"She knew what she was doing, probably trying to draw him out. Too many people would just mess things up."
Colby shook his head, a hint of frustration in his eyes.
This foolish girl, always wanting to handle things on her own. When would she ever lean on him?
"I'm driving, gotta go."
Then, Colby hung up the phone, hoping Ricardo hadn't completely lost it.
Meanwhile
At Minton Estate, time seemed to crawl by. Jonah couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Boss, are we really not going?"
Odie shot Jonah a cold look. "Why should we? Sophie called Colby, not me. Did she call me?"
"No, but Ms. Vanessa is in Ricardo's hands, and didn't she call you? Even though we broke off the
engagement, if anything happens to her, people might blame you for not paying the ransom, which wouldn't be good for your reputation."
Odie nodded, "You've got a point."
"Plus, Ricardo knows both Ms.
Vanessa and Ms. Sandy were you
fiancées, but he still kidnapped them. He's clearly disrespecting us. Can you really take that lying down?" en.swhovels.net
"That's true."
"We're not going for Ms. Sophie. We're going for you, boss."
