"Absolutely," Odie said with resolve. He stood up and added, "Let''s get going. Now!"


    "Right away, boss," Jonah replied, giving a small shake of his head as he followed Odie. It was unusual for Odie, who normally didn''t care about appearances, to be so worried about dignity and reputation. It was clear that he just needed an excuse to justify what he wanted to do.


    At Minton Estate, Odie hopped into the car, and once Jonah had fired up the engine, he asked, "Boss, where are we headed?"


    "How should I know? Didn''t Vanessa tell you over the phone?"


    "Nope, she didn''t say a word..."


    An awkward silence filled the car.


    Meanwhile, in an abandoned factory...


    Ricardo nced at Sandy and sneered, "The Pords aren''t here yet. Guess Kiran doesn''t care about you that much."


    Sandy shot him a furious look. "Bullshit! My brother loves me more than anything! He will definitelye to save me!"


    "Looks like I can''t count on you. Better get in touch with Colby," Ricardo muttered, pulling out his phone. He was contemting where Colby should drop off the money so he could retrieve itter. Suddenly, headlights pierced through the darkness, illuminating the area in front of him.


    "See! I told you my brother woulde for me!" Sandy eximed, pointing at the approaching ck car.


    A figure soon stepped out of the car. It was Logan, dressed in a sharp suit with the Pord family crest on his chest and wearing a mask that gave off an unsettling vibe. Noticing that Logan was alone, Ricardo frowned, "You one of Kiran''s men?"


    Sophie, standing nearby, was equally confused. Was Logan a Pord? Could it be that the man she saw at Odie''s engagement party wasn''t James, but Logan?


    Logan nodded but didn''t say a word.


    "Where''s the money?" Ricardo demanded.


    Logan took a step forward, but Ricardo quickly yanked Sandy in front of him as a human shield. "Hand over the money first! Or I''ll kill her!" he threatened, his eyes zing with menace.


    Sophie watched Logan intently,


    sensing that something was off. At


    thest engagement party, when Sandy was merely slighted, Kiran showed up with arge group to resque her. Now, with Sandy kidnapped, Kiran had only sent Logan? It didn''t add up.


    When Logan was still silent, Ricardo''s frown deepened.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    Sandy looked visibly shaken. She didn''t know when the Pords had acquired such a peculiar bodyguard, but right now, anyone who could save her was wee.


    Logan then reached inside his coat. Ricardo expected a check or a bank card, but instead, he pulled out a sleek ck handgun.


    Sophie, realizing the situation was escting, quickly pulled out a stun gun hidden in her sleeve and jabbed it into Ricardo''s waist. She swiftly yanked Sandy behind her.


    Sandy was terrified, and while the


    shock wasn''t strong enough to incapacitate Ricardo, it made him twitch. A gunshot rang out. Logan had shot the gun out of Ricardo''s hand and fired another round into Ricardo''s left leg.


    "Ahh !" Ricardo screamed in agony, and Sophie immediately pushed Sandy towards Logan.
