William and Colby exchanged conspiratorial glances, clearly playing it cool as if they barely knew each other.
Sophie lowered her voice, "I'm fine, but we should get out of here." She had noticed early on that the security here was much tighter than usual. The guards at the entrance, pushed in by Colby, were fewer than half of what she saw when she first entered the banquet hall. This time, Colby managed to get in likely because Caelum had intentionally loosened the security and dismissed most of the guards.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCaelum was scheming something, and it was best not to provoke him now.
"Since my wife is unharmed, I'll take her and leave," Colby said, his focus entirely on Sophie's injured foot. He scooped Sophie into his arms and turned to leave, but Caelum coldly interrupted, "Hold on." Colby paused, and Caelum demanded, "Was it you who had someone kidnapped Sandy?" Sophie's breath hitched. She had seen how much Caelum doted on Sandy. His question sounded almost accusatory.
"It was me," Colby admitted.
"I only have one daughter. By doing this, Colby, you're showing no respect to me," Caelum said.
"If she messes with my wife again, I'll do it again," Colby replied, and without another word, he carried Sophie out of the Pollard residence.
The butler commented, "Sir, are we just letting him go like that? If Miss Sandy finds out..." Caelum stretched lazily and said, "He's got a bit of his grandfather's spirit. It's about tSandy's temper was checked; I've spoiled her too much. If I'm gone, who will protect her?" The butler suggested, "There's always Mr. Angelo." "Angelo! Stop right there! Giveback my pillow!" At that moment, Caelum glanced at the second floor where Angelo and a maid were chasing each other playfully. He frowned, "Him?" He might as well rely on the police. Caelum shook his head.

"Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy just now." Sophie relaxed. She understood Colby's poor attitude towards the Pollard family. After all, the Pollard family was now allied with the Mintons, and it was highly likely that the Rollard family had a hand in the death of Colby's parents.
Sophie said, "I noticed that Caelum seemed very kind to me, and he really did know Bea from their youth. But it seems he doesn't like Bea much. You know, Caelum was Devonport over forty years ago. Since he knew Bea, do you think he might have known our grandfathers?"
"I'm not worried about that right now," Colby said as he drove. What'm most concerned about is your foot." "William said it was nothing..." "If he had really examined your
wound, why didn't he apply any medicine?" Colby frowned. "Sophie, I dan n'twant you to be in danger Eng anymore." "Why... say that all of a sudden?"
"Because I just realized, if Caelum had taken you hostage just now!!... wasn't sure I could have saved you. I X
