Chapter 255 "Did Bea ever listen to you?" In such situations, the more James tried to protect Sophie, the more Bea resented it.
At that moment, James' phone rang. Sophie glanced down and saw it was Colt calling.
Colt's voice sounded rushed. "Mr. Burke, it's bad news." "What happened?" "Ms. Calla is missing!" 'Did you look for her in the Devins estate?" "Yeah, but Ms. Calla hasn't returned home." Sophie listened from the side.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was only one route back from the Regent Hotel, and if Calla had cback, she would have definitely crossed paths with Colt's car. At this moment, it seemed something serious had happened.
1 2 8 3 3 5 7 8 3 2 2 2 2 8 £8 ± 3 Was it Nichole who had made a move against Calla? Her brows furrowed slightly. Even if Nichole wanted to harm Calla, she wouldn't act so hastily, especially just after meeting Calla for the first time.
By then, James had hung up the call and said to Sophie, "You go take a shower. Don't worry about anything else." As soon as he finished speaking, James received a text message. [If you want to save Miss Devins, prepare a ransom of ten million dollars! Do not call the police!] The kidnappers also sent a location.
Sophie glanced at the message and then said indifferently to James, "You're going to find her yourself?" If something happened to Calla, Bea would never let James just send someone else to find her.
James remained silent; Sophie knew he understood that if Calla was in trouble, he had to go find her himself. Sophie said, "I'm coming with you." Downstairs, when Bea learned Calla had been kidnapped, she was furious.
Calla was, after all, the treasured daughter of the Devins family. Besides, the Devins and the Burke families had a good relationship, including collaborative projects. Moreover, Calla was also quite dear to her.
The Burke family mobilized many people in search of Calla.
James, with a check for ten million dollars, hit the road, with Sophie sitting silently in the passenger seat. When they arrived in the suburbs, a deserted car factory lay before them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJames got out of the car immediately. The abandoned factory was eerily quiet, with faint sounds of a woman struggling.
"Mmph-!" Sophie quick pointed Calla's location in a small workshop ahead.
In the next instant, a figure rushed out from a corner, their face covered, holding a knife to Sophie's throat. James' expression to darken instantly. "I've brought the money. Let her go!"
Sophie could clearly feel the tremors in the kidnapper's hand holding the knife. This was not at all like a professional kidnapper. When she had been kidnapped by Ryan before, those people were far more professional than the person behind her now.
"Don't cany closer! Don't, or I'll kill her!" The man's voice I's voice sounded very young, almost like a teenager. Sophie said coolly, "Steady your hand with the knife. If you hurt me, you won't just lose the money but your life." "Shut up!" Though the man's words were brash, the hand holding the knife moved further away from Sophie's neck.
