NovelEnglishChapter 261 "Madam, Mr. Burke has sent us to pick you up. Please get in the car," said the driver, appearing gentle and unassuming. But Sophie found him oddly unfamiliar She eyed the driver, asking, "Why didn't Colt come?" "There's an issue at Colt's end that needed handling, which is why I was sent instead.” The man was polite, with nothing seemingly amiss.
Sophie pressed, “I don't seem to remember you." "I'm the new driver. It's normal for you not to have seenbefore." "How could James hire a new driver withoutknowing?" James was the only one in the entire company who had a personal driver. For a while, Colt filled this role exclusively, and even in his absence, a company driver would be dispatched. Yet, this man before her was a complete stranger.
The man didn't know how to continue the conversation but had already opened the car door for Sophie. Peering through the car window, Sophie spotted a man inside. In the next moment, she felt restrained from behind. A stranger had moved behind her and covered her mouth and nose with a cloth.

Calla witnessed this entire scene standing in front of the ground-floor window at the Burke family house.
Her expression was extremely grim. She realized that this kidnapping was real! "Calla, is dinner ready?" From the living room, Bea's voice could be heard.
Calla masked her panic, though her expression remained troubled as she returned. "Bea, it'll be ready soon." Noticing Calla's current state, Bea frowned, "Are you alright? You look upset." "It's nothing..." Calla lowered her head, biting her lip.
She couldn't disclose Sophie's kidnapping. If she did, Sophie would surely be rescued.
Deep down, she hoped something would happen to Sophie. If something happened to Sophie, the position of Mrs. Burke would becvacant, and only then could she possibly take that place.
