Chapter 742
Just as Leticia was about to ignite the car with her lighter, a beam of headlights suddenly illuminated them. Her bodyguard reacted instantly, stepping forward to protect her. “Miss! Someone’s coming! We need to go, now!”
Leticia’s face twisted with anger as she tried to throw the lighter. “Let me finish her! Let go of me!”
“If anyone finds out, it’s game over. Your father specifically ordered us to keep you safe, no matter what!”
Leticia shot a hateful glance at Sophie inside the

fore tossing the lighter onto the vehicle.
The Gibbs family bodyguard quickly pulled Leticia into their car, speeding away as the other car began to burn.
“Sophie!”
“Colby, watch out! The car’s on fire!”
Inside, Sophie coughed violently as thick smoke filled her lungs. She could vaguely hear William and Colby’s voices.
Barely conscious, Sophie opened her eyes and saw Colby outside the car window, desperately pounding on it, trying to break the glass. “Colby…”
Sophie struggled to move her hand, attempting to open the car door, but the impact had deformed it, making it impossible to budge. “Colby… leave, hurry!”
The front of the car was ablaze, and it was only a matter of time before it exploded, threatening both their lives:–
“Stop talking! Inhaling too much smoke can kill you. Trust me, it’ll be okay soon!”
Ignoring his own safety, Colby smashed the window. The glass shattered, and he reached in to unlock the door, pulling it open with all his strength.
William quickly jumped in to help. Colby lifted Sophie out of the car, and William assisted. Noticing the fire spreading rapidly inside the car, William shouted, “Colby! Run!”
In a split second, the car exploded, sending flames skyward.
Colby shielded Sophie with his body, while William managed to escape unscathed.
Sophie gasped for air, the intense pain in her thigh bringing her back to reality. She anxiously watched Colby, who had protected her. “Colby! Who sent you? Do you know how dangerous this is? What would I do if you died!”
Tears streamed down her face as she pounded on Colby’s shoulders. He held her tighter, terrified that if he had been a moment slower, she would have been lost to him forever.
“It’s okay. Don’t be scared. I’m here,” Colby said, gently stroking her back.
Sophie’s thigh was bruised, her body covered in cuts and bruises. Colby wiped the tears from her cheeks. “I’m getting you out of here.”
As Colby tried to lift her, William grabbed his arm. “Colby! Are you crazy? With all this noise, if we’re found, we’re done for! Do you want to drag Ms. Sophie into this mess with you?”
Colby had managed to stay hidden these past days, but once they entered downtown, filled with Odie’s spies, being discovered meant they would hardly make it out of Summerfield alive..
“No one can stop me. Move!”
Colby held Sophie tightly, fearing any delay would worsen her injuries.
