Colby''s eyes were re with anger. Sophie quickly cupped his face, her voice urgent. "Colby, listen to me. You and William need to head back to Devonport, get everything set up, and thene back for me. I know you can do it. I''ve already made a deal with Odie; he trusts me now, I''ll be fine."


    "And you want me to leave you here alone?


    "William''s right. If you take me with you now, we''ll never get away! And all the trust I''ve built with Odie would vanish. I''ve almost uncovered his shady operations. Please, just go. I''ll be waiting for you to rescue me!" Sensing Colby''s hesitation, Sophie turned to William. "William! Get him out of here! Go back to Devonport, get everything ready, and thene back for me!"


    Realizing Sophie was determined, William stepped forward and grabbed Colby''s arm. "Colby! Let''s go. Listen to her, or we''re all finished! Do you want to see Ms. Sophie die because of you?"


    Hearing this, Colby finally let go of Sophie.


    *Three days. I''lle for you in three days."


    "Okay, three days. I''ll be waiting.


    Sophie watched as Colby and William got into their car, finally feeling a sense of relief.


    Not far from the Minton Casino, Sophie watched the car go up in mes and then copsed onto the ground, pretending to crawl forward. "Help... help!"


    Meanwhile, inside the Minton Casino, Odie had juste downstairs when a security guard rushed over. "Mr. Odie, there''s been an

    Hearing this, Odie grabbed the guard by the cor. "Where? What happened? Tell me!"


    "Wayne... Wayne''s dead, and Ms. Sophie has been taken to the hospital. She''s still unconscious!"


    Odie let go of the guard and turned to Jonah. "Get the car. We''re going to the hospital."


    "Right away, boss."


    Jonah hurried to get the car.

    His expression darken even more.


    While driving, Jonah nced in the rearview mirror at Odie''s face. "Boss, I''ve already got people looking into it. We should have answers

    "Understood."

    Hearing this, Odie stopped, his gaze turning dangerously towards the director. "Not yet?"


    "Rest assured, Mr. Odie. Give us half an hour... Ms. Sophie will be awake within half an hour, I promise!"
