Hearing Sophie's words, Angelo panicked and bolted upstairs, yelling, "Sandy! You little troublemaker! If you dare make that call, you're finished!"

Watching the commotion, Sophie finally set down her knife and fork. She had been worried that Kiran was just pretending, but now she was sure the person in front of her wasn't Kiran. Angelo, with his goofy demeanor, seemed easy to deceive and wasn't the type to hatch any sinister plots. That was a relief.

After speaking, Sophie pocketed her phone and walked towards the door. Then, turning back with concern, she said, "I'll give you a thousand dollars to borrow two of your men." "What?"
