Chapter 1259
"Hey, hey, hey! Hands off me!"
Sandy couldn't believe the bodyguards actually dared to grab her arm.
By now, Harold had already come down the stairs.
Eyeing Sandy, Harold frowned and asked coldly, "Where are Sophie and Jenna?"
"Mr. Aldridge... they got away."
Smack!
The sharp sound of a slap echoed, and Harold's voice grew even colder, "Useless!"
The bodyguard didn't dare fight back, lowering his head and stepping back.
Sandy glared at Harold, yelling, "Harold! You're a real piece of work, aren't you? Worse than a scoundrel! You've betrayed us! You're nothing!" Her torrent of insults didn't faze Harold one bit.
"I'll have you know, I'm the daughter of the Pollard family! If you dare lay a finger on me, my daddy will make sure you regret it!"
The bodyguards winced at her words. It was known that the Pollard family, even overseas, was not to be messed with.
One of the bodyguards asked, "Mr. Aldridge, what should we do now? Let her go?"
Harold shot a cold glance at Sandy and replied, "Take her back, lock her up."
"Yes, sir."
"What? You dare lock me up! Harold, where do you get the nerve? If you so much as scratch me, my daddy will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!" Harold said coldly, "Gag her."
"Yes, Mr. Aldridge."
"You... Mmph!"
Sandy was gagged and shoved into the car.
Annoyed by Sandy's noise, Harold asked the bodyguard, "What about the reporters?"
"Tell them, if they value their lives, they'll know what to publish and what to keep quiet." "Yes, sir."
Half an hour later, at Burke Estate.
When Rick brought Sophie and Jenna back, the atmosphere at Burke Estate was tense.
Timothy was still dusting the living room. Seeing Sophie and Jenna return, he watched as they quickly ran upstairs.
"Where's Sandy? Why didn't she come back with you?"
Angelo, not seeing Sandy, couldn't shake a bad feeling.
Jenna grabbed Angelo and said, "Listen, things are urgent now. Your sister... has been taken by Harold!"
"What?"
Angelo was stunned.
Captured? By Harold?
The very Harold Aldridge, the aloof second son of the Aldridge family who had just returned a few days ago?
They were all in the same situation, why would he capture Sandy?
Meanwhile, Sophie hurried to Gordon's bedroom.
This time, unlike before, Gordon's condition seemed genuinely and even
show William was there, winet
showed the gravity of the situation. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"What exactly happened?"
Sophie grabbed William's arm, desperate for answers.
William sighed, saying nothing.
Sophie's face turned pale instantly.
Rick explained, "Since waking up this morning, Mr. Gordon's health has been poor. It started with a cough then he coughed up blood, followed by a persistent high fever, and be has fallen into a coma. The situation iş serious."
Sophie made sure Timothy Wet
eavesdropping from downstairs, then pulled Rick aside and
whispered, "Tell me, is this for real, or is it a facade?"
Rick replied gravely, "Ms. Sophie, this is real."
Realizing Gordon's grave condition, Sophie continued, "Does he know about Harold's actions?"
