The bed was neat, as if no one had slept in it. Hadn't Sophia returned?
Where was she? Couldn't she wait to go back to A Country before meeting with her lovers?
At the thought, Colin angrily took out his mobile phone to call Sophia.
The door of the opposite room opened, it was Wendy.
"Colin."
Colin locked his phone, "Mom, why aren't you asleep?"
"I fell asleep, but woke up when I heard you return. Did Sophia tell you she won't be coming back tonight?"
"Where is she?" Why didn't she tell him? Was this her treating him well?
"Oh, she went back to her old home. I don't know when she'll come back. If you're worried, you can go and check up on her."
Wendy yawned, feeling sleepy.
"Alright mom, go back to sleep." Colin was uncertain if he should go or not.
Three minutes later, a call made him quickly pick up the phone.
"Colin... I'm sorry to bother you... Can you come over? Please help me." Sophia's low voice sounded over the phone.
Immediately after Sophia gave him the address, he heard a scream on the phone before the line was disconnected.
A black sports car sped down the road. It was a half hour drive, but Colin arrived in ten minutes.
He rushed two steps at a time and leapt to the third floor. The door of one room was ajar, and it was dark inside.
Colin silently approached the edge of the door, and he could hear the low voice of a woman crying for help. "Let me go! Who are you? What are you looking for? Let me go..."
Soon, the room fell into silence.
Without making a sound, Colin pushed the door open. In the lit bedroom, he slowly approached the hooded figure clad in black, who was turning the room around.
Sophia was left on the bed. Her hands were tied and her mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth.
Hiding the dagger he got from his car in his pocket, Colin slowly approached the bedroom.
Seeing him, Sophia's eyes widened in surprise. Colin gestured for her to be quiet.
Before the man in black returned, Colin
“Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!”
Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.
“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"
oment. "Don't tell Sophia yet. Send someone to find out where Aaron is being held and find an opportunity to rescue him as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, I'll personally contact Dorothy." Holding people hostage was illegal and Dorothy would have nothing to say if someone called the police. She would receive legal ramifications.
The reason Colin didn't inform the police immediately was because he still had a good relationship with her brother. Once they fell out, both sides would have losses.
"Alright, president."
"Let the Deputy CEO come in. I want to talk to him about the company."
"Yes, president." After Wade left, Colin stared at the computer in deep thought. He wondered if Dorothy would do something to Sophia if she knew she had come back to A Country.
After leaving her old home, Sophia spent the whole afternoon in the hospital. Jay was still the same, there wasn't any change while she was away.
She gave the gifts she bought to the two nurses. One of the nurses refused, "Miss Lou, it's our job to take care of your father. I can't accept these."
Sophia shook her head and told the woman in her thirties, "It is not a big gift. Since I noticed you use lipstick, I went to the mall and bought one for you. This is my personal gift. Taking care of my father is hard work. Please accept it."
