“In your dreams!”


    Sophie seized the moment while Sam was distracted and dashed to the door. She tried to unlock it only


    to find that the indoor lock had stopped working!


    Outside, the housekeeper had inserted a spare key into the lock, effectively jamming it so that it


    couldn’t be operated from the inside.


    “Help” Help Sophie pounded on the door, shouting loudly.


    Meanwhile, downstairs, the music was deafening. Jessica, dressed in a fiery red dress, was performing


    an impromptu senior tango with Perry,pletely oblivious to themotion upstairs.


    “Stop wasting your effort! You’re mine today!”


    Sam advanced and grabbed Sophie, but she pushed him away fiercely, smashing a water ss on the


    table to the ground. She picked up a shard of ss and held it to her neck. “If youe closer, I’ll slit


    my throat, and then all your and your sister’s scheming will have been for nothing!”


    Sam’s face tumed pale. He couldn’t let Sophie die here!


    “Damn it! Are you threatening me?”

    Sam lunged forward to snatch the ss shard from Sophie’s hand, but she didn’t give him a chance. A


    trace of blood now marked her

    Seeing this, Sam dared not move rashly


    At this moment, Colby had been waiting outside the Russell family’s house for quite some time.


    As the time of his appointment with Sophie drew near, Colby tried calling het, but it went unanswered.


    Colby nced at the mansion of the Russell family, his eyes settling on a second–floor window. From


    his angle, he could clearly see a woman leaning against the balcony ss, holding something.


    That silhouette was Sophie!


    Realizing something was off, Colby immediately flung open his car door and stormed into the Russell


    property.


    “Who are you? This is a private residence. You can’t just barge in! Security! Security!” The gardener at


    the door saw Colby rushing in and hurriedly called for security


    By the time security arrived, Colby had already kicked open the grand door.


    slightly tipsy, and the house still echoed with loud music. Everyone was stunned by Colby’s sudden


    appearance, including


    Isaac’s face was filled with resentment. If it hadn’t been for Colby, he would never have gone to jail!


    The next second, Perry immediately turned off the music, “Colby, what are you doing here? Today is


    our family gathering…”


    From the moment he entered, Colby had been searching for the room where Sophie was locked up. He


    immediately dashed upstairs, and under everyone’s astonished gazes, he headed straight for Sophie’s


    room.


    Jessica feared that her plot would unravel, and quickly yelled at the security, “What are you waiting for?


    Stop him!”


    “Yes, ma’am!”


    Several security guards also rushed up, but Colby had already located Sophie’s room by following the


    sounds.


    Outside the room, the maid looked terified. “Who, who are you!”


    “Stay back! Get away!” Sophie’s weak voice of resistance reached Colby’s ears


    Colby’s gaze was fierce. “Open the door!”


    Intimidated by Colby’s presence, the maid quickly moved to unlock the door.


    Sam roared, “Who told you to open the door? ? You’ve ruined everything!”


    As soon as Sam finished speaking, he was met with a kick from Colby that sent him sprawling to the


    floor


    “Who the hell do you think you
