Chapter 706 Sophia, I am not an idiot!
Though Sophia wasn't going to tell Drake, she ran right into her husband when she was leaving.
Drake asked, "Where are you going? It's very late."
"There's an emergency about my business. I have to go back to the company." Saying that, Sophia left.
Drake frowned at her answer. Sophia seldom went to her company in such a hurry so Drake couldn't help but doubt that she was up to something else. Meanwhile, Sophia arrived at the given address when she received a phone call.
"You don't take any money, do you? We'll kill her and that's not a joke!"
But Sophia smiled, "I suggest you do some research before the kidnapping. Don't you know that my relationship with Cathy is quite bad?"
"So what?"
"So, I'm here only because I'm kind enough. If you want money, you are asking the wrong person," said Sophia with a determined tone.
"I'll kill her! You hear me?" Though sounded worried, that man pretended to threaten Sophia.
"Fine, just do it," Sophia answered carelessly.
This time, Cathy shouted through the phone, "No! Sophia, help me! I'm so afraid!"
"Afraid?" Sophia nearly laughed. "What are you afraid of? You think I don't know you are with them? Do you think this is funny?"
Cathy had never expected Sophia would find out her plan but she kept lying, "Sophia, what are you talking about? They hang me up and they'll throw me into the sea to feed the shark if you don't give them the money. I know I've done things wrong and I'm so sorry. Please help me! I don't want to die!"
"Yeah? Go to hell!" Sophia hung up without hesitation.
She was supposed to play with Cathy a little longer but feeling disgusted, she was about to leave when she was suddenly surrounded.
"Ms. Lawson, how can you leave so quickly? We haven't given you a warm welcome."
Sophia wasn't surprised at this situation at all. These people must've been sent to ambush her. But she wasn't a fool. She would not come without precaution.
However, she pretended to be freaked out, saying while retreating, "What do you want?"
The leading one said, "You have two choices. Either you leave the money or you stay with us. We're quite busy so choose now!"
Sophia stared at them, "What if I choose neither of them?"
"Well, then we'll make the choice for you." Saying that, the kidnappers went for Sophia while Sophia tried to shun away.
These people were well trained but compared to Sophia, they were not good enough. However, Sophia intended to be captured by them. Therefore, she was caught before long.
The leading person sneered, "You're a tough woman, you know? But you can't run away from us. What a pity."
Then, these kidnappers brought her to a shabby house. The leading person said to the man in front of him respectfully, "Mr. Knight, we got her."
Mr. Knight walked out of the shadow and said, "Long time no see, Ms. Lawson." There was a smile on his face, but a cold one.
Sophia sneered, "It was you who called me."
"So what? Ms. Lawson, I'm afraid I have to treat you badly since you don't want to give us money."
Sophia said with contempt, "You've already conspired with Cathy. Am I right?"
"Wow," Mr. Knight stared at her in great surprise and said, "You're much smarter than your cousin. That stupid woman cost me several hundred million. Now you have to pay for her."
"So, you threatened Cathy and out of fear, she agreed to help you to get more money from me. Is this truth?" Everything was in Sophia's control.
Mr. Knight nodded, quite impressed. "That's right. Now I see why Mr. Riley chose you rather than other women around him."
"Thank you for your commendation."
"You're welcome."
Then, Mr. Knight added, "But please tell me why would you come even though you know this is a plot?"
Sophia grinned, "I bet Cathy is now hiding in some corners and watching me. She thinks she can beat me this time, doesn't she?"
Mr. Knight glanced somewhere unconsciously, which exposed Cathy's hiding place.
"Cathy, you ungrateful little thing. Conspiring with others to set a trap for your cousin? But you haven't expected me to find out all your plans, have you?"
Cathy seemed to be furious at her sister's words so she walked out and admitted, "That's right, so what? I know you have a lot of money. You can give 70 billion to my dad so easily but you only give me 500 million. How can you be so mean?"
Sophia sneered again, contempt written on her face. "I never give money away. What I do is invest. Apparently, you only wasted those 500 million rather than creating more value. Now you ask for more? Who do you think you are?"
"What?" Cathy was so mad that she nearly lost her mind. "All of you, beat her and beat her badly! Since Sophia won't listen to me, I'll use her to threaten Drake!"
The kidnappers were about to follow Cathy's order but were stopped by Mr. Knight. "Cathy Lawson, you're an idiot but I'm not. The one requirement I have in this cooperation is that Mr. Riley will know nothing about this. Now that you're going to call him, I'm out and you should pay for my loss."
Cathy looked at him scornfully, "Oh, you pussy! Is Drake that intimidating?"
"Ha, do you know what you're talking about? Drake Riley is not only the CEO of the Riley Group but also has control of illegal powers. Even high officials will respect him." Cathy cast a glance at Sophia and asked, "So, what should we do now?"
"Let me talk to her." Saying that, Mr. Knight walked to Sophia and said, "Ms. Lawson, we are not going to hurt you. You can leave as soon as you give us the money." Sophia teased scornfully, "Money? How much? 50 billion for you two idiots?"
Cathy shouted frantically, "Sophia, I am not an idiot!"
Mr. Knight frowned, not satisfied with Sophia's answer while Sophia continued, "None of you are going to get a coin from me."
Cathy pointed at Sophia and said to Mr. Knight, "See? You don't know that woman at all. If you don't listen to me, you'll get nothing."
