Chapter 984 Chapter 984 James was never the type to run from trouble, but the way Rick spoke, it was hard to doubt him. With a serious look, Rick said, "Mrs. Costello, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to the police station to check. He really has escaped. The boss already sent people after him. As long as he doesn't leave Devonport, it should be easy to handle." "Sweetheart, is the car here yet?" Behind them, Colby limped out, causing Rick to momentarily lose his composure before quickly regaining it. "Colby, the boss askedto escort you both back." "Oh, thanks a lot." Colby tossed his cane to Rick and offered his arm to Sophie. "Honey, walking's tough for me. Will you be my crutch?" Sophie looked at his outstretched arm, then back at his affectionate gaze. "Colby, cut it out. I'm still mad at you, and you're pushing your luck." Colby put on a wounded expression before turning to Rick. "My wife's not in the best mood. Let's not talk about anything that'll upset her more. Go start the car." "Yes, Colby." Once Rick left, Colby leaned against Sophie weakly. "Honey, I really can't walk anymore." Seeing Colby's pitiful state, Sophie finally helped him. "James was taken by the Burke family. Something's definitely off. Bea left in a huff last night after I told her off. How could she cback so quickly to bail someone out? And James would never just run away." "Honey, talking about your ex in front of me? Aren't you afraid I'll get jealous?" "Would not talking about him make you any less jealous? I'm just stating facts. I'm not hiding anything." "You're right. My conscience is clear." "Colby, stop changing the subject. Do you know something?" Sophie eyed Colby suspiciously. With a sigh, he admitted, "I knew you'd figure it out." "Spill it. What's going on?" Just as Sophie was about to press him further, Rick coughed from the front. "Colby, given your condition, you should sit in the front where I can keep an eye on you, to prevent your wounds from worsening." "I want to sit with my wife." Colby ignored Rick's suggestion and got into the backseat.
Rick shook his head helplessly.
Sophie continued, "So, what's really going on?" Rick responded from the front, "We'll be ten minutes. If the gets bumpy, bear with it, Colby." bear with all Sophie frowned. "Rick, aren't you usually a smooth driver?" "It might get a bit rough soon." With that, Rick hit the gas, and the car started to jolt violently.
Colby groaned, obviously in pain from his aggravated wounds. The content istom novelenglish.net! "Rick! Slow down!"
Sophie steadied Colby, who managed a pained smile. "Seems like he's but to get me." Colby, don't say that. You and the boss are close friends." "And you're trying to killwith this ride?" "Wouldn't dare." Listening to the back-and-forth Colby and Rickavoid
