NovelEnglishBang! The hotel doors flew open with a loud kick. Sophie stormed in, and this time, she wasn't alone. She had backup.
Griffin was there, handcuffed and tied to a chair, looking like a complete mess. His abdomen had a stab wound from Jenna; it wasn't deep, but it was still bleeding. Someone had hastily bandaged him up, but his face was pale and devoid of color.

"I don't have many virtues, but loyalty is my one strong suit," Sophie said icily. "My man is in the operating room fighting for his life, and I'm going to make you feel the spain he is." With that, she had a serving cart wheeled over, loaded with the breakfast Griffin had sent to them earlier. Sophie picked up a cup of coffee, walked over to Griffin, pinched his nose, and poured the coffee down his throat.
Griffin coughed violently, his black shirt now soaked with coffee. He looked a wreck, but somehow, he remained composed, his face a mask of indifference as if emotions were foreign to him.
"Not afraid of death, huh? So, you must care about someone. Is it Elodie?" The mention of Elodie's nmade Griffin's eyes flash with rage. He lifted his head and glared at Sophie, his look intense enough to tear her apart.

No, with your skills, you were probably an enforcer like Colby and Odie, working for Mr. Elwood overseas, weren't you?" Griffin didn't speak, but a flicker of unease crossed his eyes.
Sophie caught the look and

From now on, you'll answer my questions. truthfully, of else... after you die from the poison, I'll have your body flown back to Devonport and delivered to Reeves International. Everyone, especially Elodie, will see your
corpse. I think she'd be heartbroken." The content is on Ex..com! "You!" "First question, what's your name?"
