Vanessa was still nervously watching Shirley, waiting for Shirley to plunge the sharp knife into Sophie's neck.

However, the knife in Shirley's hand dropped.

As soon as Shirley ceased her threats, security immediately rushed over to pull

Sophie took two steps back, and James hurried forward, inspecting Sophie for injuries, only to discover a notable red mark on Sophie's collarbone.
