Chapter 938
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Logan caught Sandy just in time, then quickly pushed her against the car. Sandy was paralyzed with fear, her body rigid, not daring to move an inch.
Sophie kicked Ricardo, pinning him firmly under her foot. "Spill it! Whatâs in Devonport that youâre so keen on?"
After pushing Ricardo to a dead end, Sophie had planned for Adler to keep an eye on him in Devonport until she could return and interrogate him herself. She hadn't anticipated Ricardo fleeing overseas and taking Sandy and Vanessa hostage.
Ricardo, with his thigh pierced and in no condition to fight, gritted his teeth and sneered, âWhatâs in Devonport? You, the Russell family heiress, donât know? Stop joking! Itâs a treasure worth more than nations! The kind every businessman dreams of!â
âBe specific about the treasure!â Sophie demanded.
As she leaned in for more details, Ricardo suddenly pulled a dagger from his waist, slashing at Sophie. Quick as a flash, she caught his wrist, twisting the dagger out of his hand.
Logan raised his pistol, but hesitated when he saw them struggling together. Ricardo used Sophie as a human shield, making it impossible for Logan to get a clear shot.
âVanessa... Save Vanessa!â Sandy saw Vanessa cowering in a corner of the factory, terrified. Logan holstered his pistol and rushed over, ignoring Vanessa, and went straight for Ricardo's dagger.
âGet back!â Sophie shouted, but Logan was already moving. Ricardo took advantage of the moment, slashing Loganâs palm. Sophie stepped back, putting some distance between herself and Ricardo.
Ricardo was making a move for the pistol on the ground. Logan, despite the pain in his hand, drew his gun and shot Ricardo in the shoulder. The gunshot echoed, and Ricardo collapsed, writhing in agony, veins bulging.
Sophie approached, stopping five steps away from Ricardo, and picked up the discarded pistol. Cold determination flashed in her eyes as she looked down at him. âWhat are you gonna do now?â
âDon't move! Stay right there!â Vanessaâs voice suddenly drew Logan and Sophieâs attention. She had a dagger pressed to Sandyâs throat. Sandyâs face was ashen, and Vanessa was using her as a shield to prevent Logan from shooting.
âVanessa! You traitor!â Sandy cried out, shocked that Vanessa would turn on her. They had grown up like sisters, and Sandy had only ever considered Vanessa her true friend. But now, Vanessa was ready to throw away their bond for Colby.
âShut up!â Vanessaâs hand trembled, the blade nicking Sandyâs throat.

ï¤Chapter 782 Sophie frowned. âYou had a knife all along? Why didnât you fight back earlier?â
âWhy should I? Ricardo and I had a deal. He wants money. I want Colby! Heâd kill you, then leverage Odie for more benefits, taking care of two problems for me!â
âYou want me dead, fine. But Odie was your ally. Isn't this a bit too ruthless, Vanessa?â
