Chapter 265

Sophie decided not to feign unconsciousness any longer, knowing that pretending could only lead to more trouble.

The gang’s leader approached Sophie with a knife and ripped the duct tape from her mouth.

Sophie remained silent, not screaming or calling for help, which surprised the leader. Typically, their captives would scream for help the moment they regained consciousness, but this woman showed no fear, her face devoid of terror.
