After speaking, Kiran stormed out of the police station. His bodyguard trailed closely behind. Once they were outside, Kiran halted, spun around, and pped the bodyguard hard across the face.


    "I asked you to keep my sister safe. What were you doing?"


    The bodyguard didn''t dare to argue, just hung his head and mumbled, "Miss didn''t want me hovering around, and that Sophie, she only let me stay in the Minton family''s greenhouse. This afternoon, when we headed to the airport, Miss said she needed the restroom, so I waited outside. But when twenty minutes ticked by and she still hadn''te out... I had to check the women''s restroom, only to find no trace of her..."


    The more he spoke, the more baffled he felt. He quickly raised his eyes, "I was at the entrance the whole time. There''s no way she could''ve been taken without me noticing! Something''s definitely off here!" "Sophie..."


    Kiran was lost in thought for a moment.


    "Book a flight to Summerfield immediately! We can''t waste a second!"


    "Yes, sir!"

    "When did this happen? I had no clue. She was perfectly fine when she left this afternoon."


    Seeing Sophie furrow her brow, Kiran remained skeptical, "Besides you, who else would take Sandy? You know full well that Sandy''s not cut out for scheming and deception. Being with me is the safest ce for her Did you really have to drag her into this mess?"


    "I understand what you''re thinking, Mr. Angelo, but I honestly didn''t take her."


    Sophie looked earnestly at Kiran, "Perhaps you should consider ifè you''ve erossed anyely. Could someone else be behind this? If you need help, I''ll do whatever I can to assist."


    Kiran seemed to be weighing the truth of her words.


    "I''ve already had someone go through all the airport''s flight lists. She didn''t board any ne, so Sandy must still be in Summerfield." "Summerfield isn''t too big or too small, but even if your peopleb through every resident, they might still miss Sandy."N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    "I have my methods, but if I find out you took Sandy, no matter how it affects her, you''ll be the first to go."


    A chilling threat lingered in Kiran''s eyes. Sophie knew he wasn''t bluffing.


    After Kiran''s men left, Sandy, trembling, came downstairs and whispered, "Sophie, my brother really will kill you."
