"Get on the boat!"


    James grabbed Sophie''s arm, pulling her towards the beach. Sophie resisted, asking, "Did Colby send you?"


    "Get on the boat first!"


    James practically shoved Sophie onto the boat, but he made no move to follow her.


    "Someone will meet you in Devonport. Don''t ask about anything else."


    Sophie frowned, "You''re noting?"


    "I''ll be back after I handle things here."


    James turned to the person standing next to Sophie and said, "Remember what your boss said. Make sure Ms. Sophie gets to Devonport safely. We can''t afford any screw-ups." "Yes, Mr. Burke."


    James took onest look at Sophie. His eyes were unreadable, as if they were


    strangers.


    Then, he turned and walked away, disappearing into the night.


    "Ms. Sophie, we should go."


    Sophie stared at the distant road, lost in thought. James had practically abducted her. Staying in Summerfield now would be a death sentence for


    him.


    As the boat set off, Sophie asked, "Are you with Gordon?"


    "Yes, Mr. Gordon ordered me to escort you back to Devonport."


    "So, Colby came to Summerfield too?"


    "Colby arrived today. He and Mr. Burke coordinated to get you out of Summerfield."


    Sophie quickly asked, "How many men did he bring?"


    14:45


    The crew member remained silent.


    A cold sweat broke out on Sophie''s back. "Don''t tell me it was just those guys who stormed the hall!"


    Even though they were armed, this was Summerfield! Odie had an army here. How could Colby escape unscathed with just those men?


    Meanwhile, the Minton Casino was in ruins. When Odie arrived with his men, he saw the hall empty. Chandeliers and equipment had been trashed, chips and broken ss scattered everywhere. "Boss, be careful."


    Jonah stepped ahead of Odie, but Odie shoved him aside. He''d been waiting for Colby toe to Summerfield for years, only for Colby to pull a fast one!


    Odie was furious. "Where are our people?"


    "Boss! We found our guys in the storage room!"


    Odie quickly headed to the first-floor storage room, finding all his staff tied up inside, tape over their mouths.


    A notey on the floor.


    It read: Took her, thanks for the hospitality.


    Colby''s handwriting made veins búlge on Odie''s forehead.


    Damn it! That bastard tricked him?


    "Boss! James is back!"


    Outside, one of the men ran up to Odie, face pale with panic.


    Odie''s face darkened. "How many men did he bring?"


    "Boss... just him!"


    "Just him?"


    Had James lost his mind?


    Odie stepped outside to see James
