Sophie strode forward, flanked by two bodyguards who instinctively stepped back as she approached. “How could you possibly know?!”One of the bodyguards reached for his taser, but Sophie casually touched the crest pinned to their chests and said, “Even the Pollard family crest is fake. You guys really need to work on your details.”The bodyguard’s face twisted in anger, but Sophie turned her back to him, raising her voice, “I’m here now, Mr. Ricardo. How about you show yourself so we can have a chat? And bring Ms. Sandy out while you’re at it.”A shadowy figure soon emerged from the depths of the abandoned factory.In just two weeks, Ricardo had become a shell of his former self, his face covered in stubble, his hair a tangled mess, and his shirt stained and dirty.Sophie clicked her tongue in mock disapproval, “Mr. Ricardo, looks like you’re not doing too well. Has S Corporation not been generous enough?”The mention of S Corporation only stoked Ricardo’s anger. If it hadn’t been for Sophie’s scheming, he wouldn’t be in this mess!Ricardo’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “How did you know it was me?””A pampered princess like Sandy apologizing to me? That’s impossible. I had my people tail you in Devonport. When Adler said they lost you, I figured you’d skip town. You want money, don’t you?” Feeling cornered, Ricardo barked at the bodyguards, “What are you waiting for? Get her!”The bodyguards hesitated for a second before lunging at Sophie with their tasers.To their shock, Sophie effortlessly flipped one of them to the ground. She swiftly grabbed his wrist, snatched the taser, and activated it, delivering a jolt to his neck. The other guard tried to attack but crumpled in pain when Sophie kicked him in the groin. Sophie turned up the taser’s power and pressed it to the second guard’s neck, watching as he convulsed briefly before passing out.Sophie coolly remarked, “Amateurs. You should’ve stunned me in the car instead of letting me memorize the route and come up with a plan.” Ricardo’s face darkened even more.Sophie turned to face him, holding the taser Oh, I forgot to mention my husband is quite the fighter. He insists on ‘surprise training’ me every night… so your amateur henchmen didn’t stand a chance.” “You…” Ricardo clenched his teeth, his face a mask of fury. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.Ignoring his anger, Sophie continued, “Well, Mr. Ricardo… since you’re broke now, managing to hire even these amateurs must’ve been tough. I shouldn’t be too harsh.” “Sophie, don’t get too cocky!”Ricardo suddenly darted to a corner of the factory, pulling Sandy out from behind some machinery.Sandy’s once elegant dress wasnow smeared with mud. On theother side, Vanessa was also held byRicardo, both women’s mouth’ssealed with duct tape, leaving themunable to speak.
