Chapter 624
How could this happen?”
The last thought flickered through Sophie’s mind.
Was it Ricardo’s men or Odie’s? Before she could find an answer, she passed out.
“Sir, that man will be back soon. Should we just… in this room?” Ricky made a snap‘ gesture with his hand.
“We must stick to the rules. If they want Sophie gone without a trace, I say we throw her into the sea!” After that, Jake took out his phone, snapped a photo of the unconscious Sophie, and sent it directly to Hunky far away in Devonport
“Alright, then we do it by the book. Wait for the buyer to check the goods before we make a mover
“Take her away!”
Ricky opened the suitcase they had prepared in advance and placed Sophie inside.
Outside the elevator, Jake and Ricky seemed a bit nervous. This was their first time dealing with such a transaction, but the thought of the hefty reward after the deal was completed brought smiles to their faces.
The sound of the elevator rang, and a security guard came out with a delivery, eyeing the two men. There was a strange tension in the
air
Jake glared at the security guard, “What are you looking att
Then, they dragged the suitcase into the elevator.
The security guard frowned. He went to Sophie’s door and knocked, “Ms. Sophie?”
There was no response from inside.
The security guard knocked again, “Ms. Sophie?”
Still, no one answered.
Lno
Something was wrong!
Realizing the gravity of the situation, the security guard immediately knocked on Odie’s door.
Odie opened the door, seemingly in a bad mood. He adjusted his tie and asked coldly, “Didn’t I ask you to watch over Sophie? What’s going on?”
“Mr. Odie, it seems something has happened to Ms. Sophie!”
Odies brows furrowed slightly. He stepped out of his room and knocked at Sophie’s door with a hint of irritation. “Sophie, open the door for me!”
“Mr. Odie, I’ve been knocking for a while, and Ms. Sophie hasn’t responded. It’s possible something really happened, or she ran away.” At those words, Odie’s gaze became dangerously sharp.
No one had ever dared to run away from him. Did Sophie not know that he could find her in Duskhaven with just a word?
“Check the surveillance.”
“Yes!”
In the surveillance room, the manager personally showed Odie the surveillance footage, saying, “This floor is where you and Ms. Sophie are resting, so Mr. Ricardo specifically instructed us to shut down all surveillance cameras for just the two of you. In the last half hour, there’s been no sight of Ms. Sophie on other floors or in the lobby.”
“Wait!” The bodyguard suddenly pointed at two men on the screen and asked, “Who are these two men?”
The manager glanced at Odie and said, “These two men are Mr. Odie’s men.” During the day, he had seen these two men taking orders from Odie.
Odie stared at one of the men holding a suitcase and fell into thought
The bodyguard spoke, “Mr. Odie, when I went up after getting the delivery, I saw these two men. Did you call them for a meeting?”
No one else was staying on this floor, so what were these two men doing here?
Odie stood up and immediately dialed his men. “Check on the two men who were taking orders from me today. I want to know where they are within three minutes!”
