“Bea, James just said that Sophie has fallen Into the sea. Could she possibly be…”


    “She’s better off dead. That way, he can finally move on!”


    Bea didn’t believe that James would actually die over a woman. He couldn’t die. She wouldn’t allow it!


    The coastal search and rescue team searched day and night for three days, but the ocean was vast.


    Despite expanding their search area, they still hadn’t found any sign of Sophie.


    Meanwhile, the Russell family had already received news of Sophie’s misfortune. Perry was as anxious


    as a cat on a hot tin roof, while only Jessica seemed overjoyed


    If Sophie was gone, any agreement Jessica had with her naturally wouldn’t matter anymore. The future


    of the Russell family would belong to her and Isaac!


    At that moment, Jessica watched the frantic Perry with a glint of coldness in her eyes.


    Perry, you were heartless to me and my son before. I’m gonna get you back for that now,”


    On the third day, James was in despair. No one could survive three days at sea.


    Colt walked into the CEO’s office, and James immediately asked, “Have you found Sophie?”


    Colt shook his head, saying, “Not yet.”


    The light in James‘ eyes dimmed instantly, hisplexion tuming pale. These past few days, he had


    looked much more haggard than ever before


    Colt said, “Mr. Burke, it’s been three days. There’s no hope left. Continuing the search is just a waste of


    resources, especially now that S Corporation is on the rise. We need to take action. You need to pull


    yourself together.”


    “Who says it’s a waste of resources? Who says there’s no hope?” James‘ eyes zed with a fierce red.


    “Keep searching! Hire a professional search team if you must, but we have to find Sophie! Even if it’s


    just her body!”


    Colt fell silent but finally nodded. “Yes, Mr. Burke.”


    James rubbed his temples, calming himself down after his outburst. “What about the kidnappers? Have


    they been caught?”


    “They’ve fled overseas. Our people can’t find them. But they’ve got our counterfeit money. Disposing of


    so much fake money won’t be easy for them.”

    “So, we’ve got nothing?” Danger flickered in James‘ eyes.


    Colt bowed his head lower. “I’m sorry, Mr. Burke.”


    “My home address and my personal phone number aren’t known to just anyone. You need to


    investigate who’s behind them thoroughly. They couldn’t have taken Sophie so easily without inside


    help.”


    “We’re already on it. I believe we’ll have results soon. Just as Colt finished speaking, his phone rang.


    He answered the call, and within seconds, his expression eased. “I got it!”


    After hanging up, Colt turned to James with excitement. “Mr. Burke, we’ve found someone who had


    previous dealings with that group


    James mmed his hand on the desk. “Bring them here! Now!”


    “Yes!”


    In no time, a group of people brought Katy into the CEO’s office at Burke International.


    It was Katy’s first time seeing James. She observed the brooding man before her and felt uneasy. “Who


    are you people? Why have you brought me here? What do you want!”
