Chapter 685
Odie looked down at Sophie, who had fainted in his arms, and a slight smile graced his lips.
After the performance Colby and Sophie had put on in front of him last time, it was only right for him to deliver a grand spectacle in
resum
Meanwhile, at the Regent Hotel, the emcee was eloquently introducing the evening’s engagement dinner agenda. It was time for the couple to make their entrance together. Colby, on the second floor, was adjusting his the. He wasn’t used to wearing sults, so he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
“Colby! Colby!”
Adler called out as he ran up from the first floor Colby said calmly, “It’s my engagement today, not yours. Why are you in such a panic?”
Adler, anxious, replied, “Where’s Jenna? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find her!”
Hearing this, Colby frowned, “I told Jenna today not to leave Sophie’s side”
The two men looked at each other, their suspicions confirmed, and in unison, they exclaimed, “No!”
Downstairs, the emcee continued his speech, and the audience clapped joyfully, Lennon even more so, unable to contain his laughter. Tricia had sent people to search twice but still couldn’t find Sophie or Jenna in the banquet hall.
When Colby and Adler rushed down, Tricia immediately come forward and said, “Mr. Colby! Mr. Adler, I’ve searched every corner of the hotel, but they’re nowhere to be found!”
Colby’s expression darkened as he said, “If they’re not inside, search outside!”
“Right away!”
Just as Tricia ran outside, a security officer hurried in, saying, “Mr. Colby! Mc. Adler! Ms. Jenna’s had an accident!”
Outside the hotel, Jenna was being supported by two hostesses. Adler immediately went forward and took Jenna into his arms. “What happened? Is it your hypoglycemia acting up again?”
“What hypoglycemia…”
Jenna tried to dismiss Adler’s concern; her mind was foggy. Right before she fainted, she felt someone covering her mouth and nose, followed by the scent of ether,
Ether…
Suddenly, Jenna lifted her head and grabbed Colby’s arms. “Sophie! Sophie’s been kidnapped!”
“What do you mean kidnapped?” Colby’s face grew stormy as he tightly held Jenna’s arms, asking. “Who took her? When did this happen?”
Adler noticed Colby’s unstable emotions. He stepped forward to protect Jenna, saying, “Colby! Calm down first! Jenna’s not in good shape right now!”
“I…I remember…a security guard told us Mr. Gordon had fainted and asked us to come over. Then, as we were leaving, I felt someone cover my mouth and nose, and I fainted.”
Jenna tried hard to recall, and then suddenly, she said, “Right! Before I fainted, I think I heard someone mention…boss!”
“Boss?” Adler’s face soured immediately, and he looked at Colby with concem. “Colby…could it be…”
“Odie..
Colby clenched his fists, turned to Adler, and said, “Gather all the Costello family’s resources immediately! Surround the airport! No plane flies out tonight!”
“Got it! I’m on it!”
Colby ripped off his tie and sped towards the airport.
