Chapter 458

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

her away.

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

A flicker of panic crossed Vanessa's face. She had never considered what would happen if Sophie didn't die and Shirley implicated her.

Now that Shirley hadn't harmed Sophie, her words, whether accusatory or not, would raise suspicions and might alert Sophie to the truth.
