NovelAppColby's crew rolled in, and Sophie watched as a sea of people swarmed into the Minton estate, looking like they were about to tear the place apart.
"Boss!" Everyone stood up and shouted for Colby, and the noise was almost ear-splitting to Sophie. She hadn't seen anything like this in a long time.

"Five minutes, find the person." Colby waved his hand nonchalantly, and his people scattered through the Minton estate like clockwork. A few guys in black security uniforms, sporting badges from the Costello Corporation, stood out. They had walkie- talkies, surveying equipment, and were tapping away on laptops. Suddenly, the layout of the Minton Estate popped up on their screens.
Sophie asked, "What's all this?" "Honey, it's the age of tech." "But isn't this for outdoor surveying?" "Sdifference." Before Sophie could even roll her eyes at Colby's casual response, a voice crackled through one of the security guard's walkie-talkies: "Boss, we found the person." Colby glanced at his watch; only a minute and a half had passed.
"Wrap it up," he said coolly.
"Yes, sir!" The sound of numerous footsteps filled Sophie's ears, and soon all of Colby's men assembled neatly in front of him. With another casual wave from Colby, they began to withdraw from the Minton estate. Colby's team dragged Polly out from the cellar When Polly saw Sophie and Colby, she froze, probably never expecting Colby to storm the Minton family manor like this.
"Mrs. Costello... Mr. Costello..." Sophie stepped up to Polly. "Polly, the freedom I promised you is right here. Isn't it tto hand over your phone?" Polly glanced at Sophie, then at Colby and his crew. Finally, she nodded solemnly. "The phone is in my room. I'll take you to get it." Before Sophie could reply, Colby pulled her into his arms. "She stays here. Just bring it down." "Colby..." Sophie whispered, knowing Colby was worried about her safety. But Colby had no intention of letting her go.

Seeing that Colby didn't trust her, Polly agreed reluctantly "Okay, If go up and bring it down." Polly looked frail, her steps shaky as she headed upstairs. Colby frowned. "Wait."
Polly stopped, and Colby signaled one of his men, who quickly followed Polly upstairs. "Miss Polly, I'll m accompany you." Polly's body M trembled clearly's scared. Sophie sensed something was off, and then, applause rang out from outside. "Not bad, not bad at all." Odie's voice cfrom behind, his face dark and brooding. "Sophie, you've trickedagain." "You..." Sophie turned to face Odie, then
quickly looked back at Polly on the second floor. Colby's man had m already restrained Polly, whose face turned pale. Sophie frowned deeply. "You and Odie setup?" Odie sneered. "Sophie, you've trickedso many times. I just got you once. Fair's fair." X
