Sophie couldn't escape Colby's intense gaze, his eyes brimming with sincerity. "Sophie, my heart is yours alone-past, present, and future."

"Colby, I don't believe in love." Sophie's voice was indifferent. "Maybe in the past, I could have fallen for you, but now, I don't want to easily fall for anyone."

The lessons from her past life were painful enough. She admitted to herself that there had been a moment when her heart fluttered for Colby, but it wasn't enough to risk the rest of her life on.

Life was too precious. She had been given a second chance at life and was determined not to be drowned in love again.

"Alright, then I'll stay by your side until the moment you accept me."

"You..."

Sophie was about to persuade him further when the driver got into the car, breaking the intimate atmosphere inside.

"Mr. Colby, Ms. Sophie, please go to the police station with us. It won't take long."

The police officer in the passenger seat was extremely polite and friendly.

Sophie suddenly remembered that the Costello family had a military background, but Lennon had retired, and many of his former comrades had also stepped back. So, Colby having influence with the police wasn't a big deal after all.

And there she was, worrying about Colby. How foolish she had been.

'Ding'

'Ding'

'Ding'

Everyone's phones in the car started ringing. Sophie pulled out her phone and saw the breaking news notification.

The photos and news had been released by reporters outside the hotel to all major online platforms, creating significant buzz even late at night.

[CEO arrested after attempting to kidnap and rape wife at midnight]

This eye-catching headline was at the top of the trending searches.

Sophie looked at Colby, who was calm and collected. He had summoned the media for this very purpose.

Sophie quickly noticed that the police car had been taking a roundabout route, turning a fifteen-minute journey into more than twenty, with many flashes from cameras taking photos along the way. The sound of the police siren attracted the attention of passersby, leading to a crowd forming. It's like being paraded through the streets.

"You are so evil." Sophie couldn't help herself.

How could anyone come up with such a plan?

Colby responded with a nonchalant tone, "Thank you."

Meanwhile, the Burke family was in turmoil. Bea nearly fainted when she saw the news. Calla supported her, saying, "Grandma Bea, you must take care of your health."

Calla had rushed to the Burke family to offer her sympathies the moment she heard Nichole was missing.

Bea faced several blows in quick succession, and was already struggling to cope. "James... what on earth is he doing? For the sake of one woman, he's completely disregarded the Burke family's reputation! What did he just do!"

"Grandma Bea, the most important thing now is to get James back."
