Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 261

"Madam, Mr. Burke has sent us to pick you up. Please get in the car," said the driver, appearing gentle and unassuming. But Sophie found him oddly unfamiliar.

She eyed the driver, asking, "Why didn't Colt come?"

"There's an issue at Colt's end that needed handling, which is why I was sent instead." The man was polite, with nothing seemingly amiss.

Sophie pressed, "I don't seem to remember you."

"I'm the new driver. It's normal for you not to have seen me before."

"How could James hire a new driver without me knowing?"

James was the only one in the entire company who had a personal driver. For a while, Colt filled this role exclusively, and even in his absence, a company driver would be dispatched. Yet, this man before her was a complete stranger.

The man didn't know how to continue the conversation but had already opened the car door for Sophie.

Peering through the car window, Sophie spotted a man inside. In the next moment, she felt restrained from behind. A stranger had moved behind her and covered her mouth and nose with a cloth.

Caught off guard, Sophie heard a rough male voice. "Sorry, Mrs. Burke, but someone has put a price on your head…"

Hearing this, Sophie's consciousness began to blur, and she fainted.

The rough man coldly commanded the driver, "Get in the car!"

The driver, visibly frightened, nodded and hurriedly complied.

Calla witnessed this entire scene standing in front of the ground-floor window at the Burke family house.

Her expression was extremely grim. She realized that this kidnapping was real!

Where to?

James furrowed his brow. He didn't recall sending Sophie any messages.

He hesitantly opened the chat and saw the last message was sent from his phone.

James' expression turned grave. "Colt!"

Colt entered from outside the office, puzzled, "Mr. Burke, did you need me?"

"Has anyone touched my phone?"

"No one has."
