"Boss, what should we do with these folks? Should we take care of them?" Hearing this, Sophie frowned. "Take care of them?" "Hold on a sec!" Colby coughed twice, his glance turning icy. "What do you mean by 'take care of them'? Since when have I 'taken care of anyone?" "Uh..." His men were stunned.
If they weren't going to deal with these people, why were they even here? Normally, they were quick and efficient in handling matters.

Colby glared at them again. "Just erase the footage. Who said anything about smashing it?" "...Oh, isn't that just brutishly simple." Sophie gave Colby a thoughtful glance. "Is this how you used to handle things overseas?" "Honey, they handle it like that. It has nothing to do with me." Colby distanced himself from the blame, leaving his men dumbfounded.
Wasn't it always the boss who gave the orders, and they carried them out? Without his command, they wouldn't dare lift a finger.
Sophie gave Colby a sidelong glance. "Let's focus on the task at hand. We'll settle our scores later." Colby frowned, turning to his men. "Did you hear that? Focus on the task at hand. We'll settle scores later!" Inside the Minton estate, all the maids and security personnel were subdued by Colby's men, each of them squatting in the living room, not daring to raise their heads. Sophie asked, "Tell me, where is Polly being held?" The head of security hurriedly said, "It was Jonah's doing. We really don't know!" "Do you not know, or do you not wish to say?" "We really don't know!" Tthe security didn't seem to be lying, so Colby said, "I'll have someone search inside out. It shouldn't be too hard." "Not too hard? Colby, do you see clearly? Odie bought a manor to please Sandy." Sophie emphasized "Hearout, a manor! You might as well bring a hundred people, and maybe in three hours, you'll find the person." The Minton Estate wasn't just about the front yard. There were also a greenhouse, a swimming pool, an open-air Court, a gym, and dozens of rooms spreading over six floors with a vast horizontal area. This doesn't even include the underground wine cellar and the parking garage.
Although Sophie had been living here for a couple of days, she could guarantee that once she stepped out of the second-floor bedroom, whether she went left or right, she'd be lost within fifty meters.
Especially since the Minton Estate had many twists and turns, it wouldn't be surprising if Odie had a special place to detain traitors.

The main problem was that Odie was out on serrand, and if he m returned within an hour, and they hadn't found the person yet, they'd have to brace for a fight. Clearly, they needed a quick way to find the person.
As Sophie pondered where the person might be held, Colby om surprisingly took out his phone.
Sophie watched as Colby expertly dialed a series of numbers, therm spoke into the phone, "Yeah, the more, the better." "Preferably more than a hundred." "Five minutes." Soon, Colby hung up the phone.
Sophie looked puzzled. "What are you doing?" Colby casually uttered two words: "Calling reinforcements." X
