All this talk about sincerity is just hot air!””If I really did it, would you let Sandy go?””Of course! If you died, I’d release her!”Vanessa glanced at Sandy, whom she had firmly under control, and said, “After all, we’re like sisters. I only want you to die.

She didn’t believe for a second that Sophie would kill herself to save her. Yet despite her doubts, Sandy couldn’t help but look toward Sophie.Sophie turned and extended a hand to Logan. “Give me the knife.”Logan didn’t move, and Sophie frowned. “Come on, hand it over.”Logan was still unmoved, so Sophie added, “I’m doing this to save Sandy. If something happens to her, how will you explain it to Kiran?”When Logan still hesitated, Sophie lowered her voice. “Trust me, give me the knife.”Logan glanced at the gun in Sophie’s right hand and seemed to understand. He slowly handed over the knife.Sophie turned back to Vanessa. “So, if I stab myself in the heart and die right here, you’ll let her go?””Of course!””Alright.”Sophie aimed the knife at her own heart. Just as she was about to plunge it in, Sandy’s pale face broke her silence. “Sophie! You don’t have to do this. We’re not even that close! I hate owing people favors, and you can’t let me owe you my life!”Sophie looked puzzled. “Ms. Sandy, I thought you didn’t like me? Shouldn’t you be happy if I died?””I don’t like you! I actually hate you! But if you died… I wouldn’t be happy, okay?” Sandy was on the verge of tears.Sophie smiled. “It’s okay. Consider this life a gift from me. You can repay me in the next life.””Pfft! As if I’d owe you a life!”Sandy’s eyes were filled withurgency, so Sophie stopped teasing. She raised the knife high, and just as she was about to stab herself, a voice rang out from behind Vanessa. “Put the knife down.”Colby’s voice was calm, always composed no matter the situation.Vanessa felt a gun pressed against her back, and the knife in her hand slipped to the ground.”Colby…” Vanessa’s voice trembled, but there was no response.
