Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 1578

So, he quickly shifted gears, saying, "But... were you two seriously planning to take on all those mercenaries on your own, without even knowing we were on our way?"

"Who said anything about going solo? There were two of us, right?"

Sophie really had intended to make a run for it with Colby, especially since they had backup waiting outside. In her original plan, if The Silent Shadows nabbed her on a murder charge, and if Odie didn’t swoop in for a rescue, they’d probably let her go. Or try to win her over, like today.

After all, she had the support of the four major families behind her. The Silent Shadows would prefer to recruit her rather than just take her out.

And when Logan mentioned making a move, she wasn't too worried about things going south. With Colby by her side, her fears were cut in half.

Adler and Jenna noticed that Sophie and Colby's hands had somehow found each other, and the air got a bit awkward for a second.

Adler chimed in, "Alright, this place is a wreck. Let's not hang around here longer than we need to. I'll get my folks in to clean this up, and we should head out."

Sophie shook her head, "We can't leave just yet."

"Not leaving? What are you waiting for? Reinforcements to show up?"

"I need to take Robert and Spencer with us."

Adler and Jenna exchanged a confused glance, clearly out of the loop, silently asking, "Who?"

An hour later.

Robert and Spencer were safely brought to the Minton family mansion. Adler quickly set up a signal jammer to prevent any eavesdropping.

Sophie, lounging on the living room sofa, teased, "So, how's it feel, you two high schoolers, to survive a kidnapping only to land in another mess? Like a roller coaster, huh?"
