"It''s my business! You stay out of it!" Ricardo pointed his gun right at Sandy''s forehead. "Call Colby now and tell him to get the ransom ready! Or I''ll kill her!"


    "Then go ahead and kill her," Sophie said, pretending not to care. "Vanessa and I are rivals in love, and I''m no friend of Sandy either. It doesn''t matter to me who you kill."


    Sophie''s words made Sandy furious. From her face, Sophie could tell she was being cursed out.


    Unfazed, Sophie went on, "Mr. Ricardo, you''re wasting your energy trying to threaten me with their lives. You''d be better off making them call their families. Maybe Odie cares enough about his fiancée, Vanessa, to pay you. As for Caelum, he''s old and ruthless. It might be smarter for Ms. Sandy to call her brother. That way, you might actually get the money and leave in one piece, right?"


    Listening to Sophie''s logical breakdown, Sandy nearly fainted from anger. She knew Sophie was rotten to the core!


    "There''s some sense in what you''re saying," Ricardo acknowledged.


    He ripped the tape off Sandy''s mouth, and she immediately yelled at Sophie, "Sophie! You''re heartless! How can you be so cruel! You..."


    "Shut up!" Ricardo pressed the gun to Sandy''s forehead and ordered, "Call Kiran now!"


    With the gun making her forehead cold, Sandy, pale as a sheet, trembled as she took out her phone and dialed Kiran''s number.


    When the call connected, Sandy cried, "Save me!"


    Back at the Pord estate, Angelo burst into James''s room in a panic.


    James looked exhausted as he came out of the bathroom, "It''ste, and I was about to rest. You can take the night off."


    "It''s not that! My sister... my sister''s been kidnapped by Ricardo!"


    James''s eyes narrowed instantly. "When did this happen?"


    "Tonight!"


    "And Sophie? Where is she?"


    "I... I don''t know, I just heard my sister begging for help, and then Ricardo demanded four hundred billion as ransom! Where am I supposed to get that kind of money? I don''t even know how much the Pord family is worth! What do we do now?"


    Angelo was clearly losing it.


    James quickly got dressed and put on a mask. "I''ll go first. You find Colby!"


    "Find Colby? Me?"


    Angelo pointed to himself in disbelief, but James was already out the door.


    His mind in a fog, Angelo spotted the voice changer James had left on the table. He grabbed it and ran after him, Your voice changer! You forgot your voice changer!"


    James was already gone, leaving Angelo confused and struggling to catch up, "What do I do now? Right!All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    Find Colby! But where does Colby live?"


    Meanwhile, at the abandoned factory.


    Ricardo ripped the tape off Vanessa''s mouth and said coldly, "Call Odie."


    Vanessa was terrified, but she wasn''t ready to die!


    Her only hope now was that Odie woulde to save her.
