Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Colby didn't even glance at Vanessa; all his focus was on Sophie, who lay sprawled on the ground. He rushed over, checking her for injuries, and only breathed easy once he was sure she was unharmed. In a low voice, Colby asked, "Do you always have to scare me half to death to be happy?"

"This time... it wasn't on purpose."

Vanessa watched Colby and Sophie, feeling like an outsider.

"Colby, Sophie, you'll never find out from me who's behind all this."

With a bitter laugh, Vanessa stepped back, leaned against the corridor railing, and tilted backward, plummeting from the fifth floor.

There was a sickening thud.

The noise made even Odie, who was searching for Sophie, look down.

Vanessa lay in a pool of blood, her body drenched in it.

The sight reminded Odie of Leticia.

Leticia had died the same way.

Maybe they thought suicide would make the men they loved feel some regret or pity.

But all it brought was cold, unfeeling disdain.

Because if they didn't value their own lives, how could anyone else value them?

Suddenly, a woman's voice broke the tension. Odie frowned as one of Jonah's men dragged Sandy over, "Boss! This woman is acting suspiciously..."

"Who says I'm suspicious? How dare you grab me! I'm the Pollard family's eldest daughter!"

Sandy, pale as a sheet, pushed away the bodyguard gripping her arm. The bodyguard glanced at Jonah, who signaled him to back off.

The moment Odie saw Sandy, he grabbed her shoulders, his face dark with worry. "Where's Sophie? Where is she?"

"What are you doing! Let go of me!"

Sandy shoved Odie and instinctively slapped him.

Odie's cheek turned red instantly, and Jonah couldn't help but shout, "Boss!"

Odie, his neck veins bulging with barely-contained rage, grabbed Sandy by the throat and snarled, "I've had enough of you! Don't make me do something I'll regret! Killing you would be as easy as squashing a bug!"

Sandy had never seen Odie like this and was terrified. Her face drained of color as she struggled to breathe, but she managed to gasp, "Save... Save Sophie..."

Hearing Sophie's name, Odie snapped back to reality. He shoved Sandy away, and she gasped for air, coughing until she finally calmed down.

For once, Sandy didn't lash out at

Odie's roughness. Instead, she said urgently, Host sight of Sophie twenty minutes after I headed upstairs! You've got to find her Isn't Summerfield under your control? How can you not find her?" Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

"You went upstairs? Tell me exactly! When did she disappear? Why did you split up?"

Us!

Odie demanded answers, and Sandy, desperate, explained, "Right after we got in, Vanessa said she wanted to play some hunter game, with the hunter chasing us to 'kill She had us chasing Sophie too! Sophi@knew something was off and hid with me. She told me to wait in a safe spot on the second floor, but I couldn't find her! The place was filled with screams, and I was too scared to make a sound... Why are you still standing here! I've told you everything! Go find her!"
