Colby quickly started the car, and Sophie fastened her seatbelt again..


    In the dead of night, Colby’s car sped towards the Russell estate, running every red light along the way.


    By the time Sophie got to


    the Russell estate, the ce was in disarray. Tricia and a group of battered bodyguards were sitting in


    the living room. Upon seeing Sophie, they all stood up.


    “Ms. Sophie!”


    Tricia approached and said, “Everyone is ounted for except for Isaac. James has left Jessica in the


    basement.”


    “I’ll go check on her.”


    Sophie hurried to the basement, with Colby leading the way, fearing that Jessica, in desperation, might


    do something to harm Sophie.


    As Sophie opened the basement door, Jessica immediately lunged at her, but before she could get


    close, Colby kicked her back.


    “Please! I beg you, release my son!” Jessica was terrified. She was locked up in the basement for less


    than half an hour, and the darkness had nearly driven her mad.


    “Did James take Isaac? Did he leave any message?”


    Jessica shook her head frantically. “Nothing at all! He just took my son without a word. Sophie, I know


    it’s my fault. This was my bad idea and had nothing to do with my son! Please, let my son go.”


    Sophie couldn’t get any useful information from Jessica. She frowned slightly and said to Tricia, “Let’s


    go.”


    “Yes, Miss.”


    “Sophie! Please, let me out! Save my son! I’m begging you. Please save my son!” Jessica’s voice


    faded as the basement door closed behind them.


    Sophie walked out of the basement with a severe headache. “Find out where James has taken Isaac


    within an hour.”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    “I’ve already sent people to investigate, but I’m afraid it might be difficult to find him.”


    James‘ reputation in Devonport wasn’t unfounded. The Burke family’s influence in Devonport had


    allowed them to employ some unsavory methods over the years.


    Isaac had caused such a stir and James probably took him away for revenge.


    Although Sophie wanted to teach Isaac a lesson, she never intended to take his life. After all, he was


    Uncle Perry’s only child.


    “Sophie?”


    Colby’s voice sounded near, and as Sophie looked up, the figure in front of her seemed to blur. She


    shook her head, trying to clear it, but her vision still blurred, and the next moment, she copsed


    backward.


    “Sophie!” Colby caught Sophie in his arms, touching her forehead.


    Sophie’s face appeared flushed, and her breathing was unstable.


    “She’s running a fever.” Colby frowned, lifted Sophie in his arms, and said to Tricia beside him, “Call a


    doctor now. I want them here in twenty minutes!”


    “Right away!”


    Tricia immediately went to call a doctor, while Colby, holding Sophie, went upstairs to her room, andy


    her gently on the bed.


    The room’s dimmp cast a soft light as Colby touched Sophie’s forehead again, his frown deepening.


    Tricia said from the doorway, “Mr. Colby, the doctor is on their way.”


    “Get some cold water.”
