Chapter 263

Meanwhile, the internet was abuzz with news of the kidnapping of the CEO of Burke International's wife, capturing widespread attention.

The kidnapping quickly topped the trending searches.

Jenna, too, was watching the news at home and was stunned upon seeing the headline.

Kidnapped? Who would dare to kidnap Sophie?

The next second, Jenna's phone rang with a call from Adler. She immediately answered. “Hello! Adler, listen to me...”

“Sophie’s been kidnapped?” Adler wasn't the person speaking. The calm and deep voice unmistakably belonged to Colby.

“I just saw the news too. I'm not sure if it’s true. When are you guys coming back?” Jenna was anxious.

Sophie had been staying with the Burkes for the past few days, and she had reached some kind of agreement with James. To keep Sophie’s identity as the CEO of S Corporation a secret, they hadn’t met these past few days.

But now, Sophie had been kidnapped in just a few days!

Jenna waited for Colby to respond, but there was silence on the other end.

“Colby? Colby?” Jenna had never dealt with such a situation and didn’t know what to do.

After a while, Adler’s voice finally came through. Adler said, “Don’t worry! We are on our way back now. Please don’t panic!”

Though he said not to worry, Jenna couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Her complexion was grim. She hung up and immediately used all the Dennis family’s connections to investigate the matter and verify its authenticity.

Who in Devonport would dare to kidnap Sophie?

Meanwhile, Nichole trembled uncontrollably as she saw the news in Katy’s apartment. She was both excited and scared.

Katy, however, was terrified. She hadn’t anticipated the situation escalating so much that a significant police force was deployed. “Nichole, if we get caught for this, then we...”

Katy was too scared to continue. The magnitude of the kidnapping case could mean many years in prison.

She waited, hoping for good news.

However, instead of news of Sophie’s death, she saw the latest update on the kidnapping.

The news reported that the kidnappers demanded a ransom of ten billion dollars from Burke International for her release.

Nichole was dumbfounded. “What’s going on?”

She hadn’t instructed those people to extort money from James! She just wanted Sophie’s life!

How could they break their promise?

“Nichole, what does this mean?” Katy asked urgently, disrupting Nichole’s thoughts.

Nichole snapped, “Stop it! Can you just stop bothering me!”

Katy was frightened by Nichole’s reaction.

Nichole immediately took out her phone, her expression dark.

What went wrong?

She dialed the number, screaming into the phone, “What are you doing? Why didn’t you follow my instructions? Just kill Sophie!”
