In a split second, Adler stepped forward and brushed the hair away from the person''s face, instantly recognizing who it was.


    "Well, well! Isn''t this Ricardo, the guy we''ve been searching for all this time?"


    It had been a while since theyst saw Ricardo. The Pord family had been taking good care of him. Once frail, his body now had a certain robustness, and he seemed much moreposed than before. Sophie moved closer and said, "Mr. Ricardo, do you remember the money you owe me?"


    The mention of debt immediately stirred something in Ricardo. As he tried to get up, two bodyguards quickly pinned him down. "Stay put!"


    With Ricardo unable to move, Sophie confirmed his identity and then addressed the bodyguards. "Looks like Caelum is really serious about this, even going so far as to bring our nemesis here for us to deal with." "Our boss mentioned that this guy has information Ms. Sophie wants. Getting it out of him will depend on Ms. Sophie''s skills."


    Hearing this, Sophie nodded in agreement. "You''re right."


    "Sophie! You wouldn''t sell me out, would you?" Angelo struggled but couldn''t break free from the bodyguards'' grip. Meanwhile, Sandy was being brought down from the second floor.


    Seeing this, the lead bodyguard approached Sophie. "Ms. Sophie, now that you''ve taken Ricardo, may we take our young master and miss back with us?"


    Sophie looked at Angelo and Sandy, who were being held behind the bodyguard, and asked, "Do you two want to leave?"


    Angelo shook his head vigorously. "No way! I''d rather die!"


    Sandy chimed in, "Yeah, yeah! I haven''t had enough fun yet! I don''t want to go back!"


    Sophie sighed. "But since I''ve already taken him in, I can''t just ignore the gesture..."


    She looked at Angelo and Sandy, troubled. "How about it then? Could you bear with it and leave for now?"


    Angelo''s eyes widened in disbelief. "Sophie! Just for Ricardo, you''re going to sell us out? That''s too much!" "Angelo, it''s just a short trip. You''ll be back."


    "Who knows when I''ll be able to return next time!"


    Jenna couldn''t help butugh at Angelo''s words.


    Sophie said, "Well, that''s unfortunate. Please, take them."


    "Thank you for your understanding, Ms. Sophie."


    The bodyguard gestured, and Angelo and Sandy were escorted out of the Burke Estate.


    Inside, Sophie smiled and gave Colby a look.


    Colby grinned, understanding. "Got it."


    In no time, Colby, apanied by Burke Estate''s bodyguards,
