Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) -
Chapter 262
Colt shook his head and said, "Your phone has been with me the whole time, safe and sound."
"Then why would someone use my phone to send a message to Sophie?"
Colt picked up the phone, glanced at the message thread. He was equally puzzled. After a closer look, he said, "Mr. Burke, could it be that someone hacked into your phone?" James' expression darkened further. Who would dare hack his phone in Devonport?
"Get the tech department on it immediately. Find out who did this!"
"Yes, sir!" Colt hurriedly took the phone away.
However, James felt his heart pounding fiercely as if something bad was about to happen.
With that thought, he immediately grabbed his car keys from the desk and headed out of his office.
He drove back to the Burke residence at breakneck speed, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Calla and Bea having dinner in the living room.
Sophie was nowhere to be seen.
Bea frowned and asked, "James, don't you have a meeting at the company? Why are you back so early today?"
"Where's Sophie?" James immediately called out for Sophie.
Calla looked slightly uneasy.
Bea didn't understand what was happening, "Your wife, your responsibility. Who knows which man she's gone off to meet this time?"
"Someone used my phone to message Sophie, and now she's unreachable. I need to know when she left the house!"
As soon as James said this, Bea realized the severity of the situation.
In their circle, kidnappings were not uncommon. If someone from their family was indeed kidnapped, the culprits would surely demand a hefty ransom.
Bea put down her fork and said, "Send Colt to investigate immediately and call the police!"
This was no small matter. Calla's previous "kidnapping" was a self-staged act that caused no real harm as long as it was kept quiet, and more importantly, Calla wasn't a Burke, so it wouldn't affect the Burke family much.
But Sophie was different.
No matter the current state of Sophie and James' relationship, Sophie was James' wife!
If Sophie was really kidnapped, the kidnappers would likely make a big deal out of it, and the Burke family could face a significant ransom demand.
"James, is this really that serious? Maybe Sophie just went out. Let's not make a big fuss over it," Calla hesitantly said.
"What do you know? We can't take any chances with Sophie. This is not to be taken lightly." Bea's stern words silenced Calla immediately.
With a furrowed brow, James thought hard about anyone he might have upset in business recently, but after a long thought, he could only think of S Corporation.
"James, please calm down. Maybe we should check the nearby surveillance to see who Sophie might have gone with?" Calla suggested.
Her words helped James clear his thoughts. He immediately called Colt, instructing him to retrieve all surveillance footage from the last hour in the vicinity.
In the surveillance room, James spotted Sophie.
She was seen leaving the Burke residence, speaking briefly with a driver before someone sneaked up behind her, covered her mouth and nose, and dragged her into a car. James' face turned grim. "Note down the license plate number and replace out where that car went!"
"Yes, Mr. Burke!"
James left the surveillance room but couldn't help but tremble all over. He was scared.
He had never felt this scared before. He couldn't bear to imagine what he might do if something truly happened to Sophie.
He would never allow anything to happen to Sophie. Never!
