Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 743

Colby's eyes were flare with anger. Sophie quickly cupped his face, her voice urgent. "Colby, listen to me. You and William need to head back to Devonport, get everything set up, and then come back for me. I know you can do it. I've already made a deal with Odie; he trusts me now. I'll be fine."

"And you want me to leave you here alone?"

"William's right. If you take me with you now, we'll never get away! And all the trust I've built with Odie would vanish. I've almost uncovered his shady operations. Please, just go. I'll be waiting for you to rescue me!"

Sensing Colby's hesitation, Sophie turned to William. "William! Get him out of here! Go back to Devonport, get everything ready, and then come back for me!"

Realizing Sophie was determined, William stepped forward and grabbed Colby's arm. "Colby! Let's go. Listen to her, or we're all finished! Do you want to see Ms. Sophie die because of you?"

Hearing this, Colby finally let go of Sophie.

"Three days. I'll come for you in three days."

"Okay, three days. I'll be waiting."

Sophie watched as Colby and William got into their car, finally feeling a sense of relief.

Not far from the Minton Casino, Sophie watched the car go up in flames and then collapsed onto the ground, pretending to crawl forward. "Help... help!"

Meanwhile, inside the Minton Casino, Odie had just come downstairs when a security guard rushed over. "Mr. Odie, there's been an accident!"

"What now?" Odie asked impatiently.

"On Middle Street... Ms. Sophie's car was in an accident!"

Hearing this, Odie grabbed the guard by the collar. "Where? What happened? Tell me!"

"Wayne... Wayne's dead, and Ms. Sophie has been taken to the hospital. She's still unconscious!"

At the city center hospital, Odie walked in personally, greeted by the hospital director who rushed to meet him. Noticing Odie's grim face, the director quickly spoke. "Mr. Odie, don't worry. She's not in any danger, just some minor injuries. She'll recover with some rest."

"Is she awake yet?"

"...Not yet."

Hearing this, Odie stopped, his gaze turning dangerously towards the director. "Not yet?"

"Rest assured, Mr. Odie. Give us half an hour... Ms. Sophie will be awake within half an hour, I promise!"

Odie coldly replied, "You have ten minutes to wake her up, or you can forget about being head of this hospital!"

"Yes, Mr. Odie. I'll make sure the doctors do their best to get Ms. Sophie conscious as soon as possible..."
