Chapter 736
The boss' room, or better yet, Odie's room?
"Sorry."
Logan's brief apology seemingly brushed off the gravity of the situation as he turned and led Sophie to the second room on the left.NôvelDrama.Org content.
As soon as the door closed behind them, Sophie was taken aback by the decor of the room.
The lighting was dim, casting a faint red glow throughout the room. A four-poster bed was shrouded in red chiffon, a waterbed meant for two, and, to add to the shocking sight, a wall adorned with what appeared to be instruments of torture.
Sophie felt a rush of fear, and suddenly, Logan's deep, husky voice came from behind her. "Scared?"
Sophie turned around sharply, only to find Logan advancing towards her. From the room next door, Sandra's screams could be heard, making Sophie realize that the third floor of the Minton Casino was designed to cater to the perverse desires of the wealthy. "Stay away from me."
Sophie stumbled backward, landing on the waterbed. Logan, however, didn't lay a hand on her. Instead, he turned away from Sophie, reached over to turn off the bedside lamp, and then Sophie noticed a barely visible red light.
A camera?
Logan didn't immediately approach it. Instead, he took down the miniature camera from the lamp and then proceeded to switch off all the lights in the room, one by one, uncovering and removing the devices that emitted the faint red light. In no time at all, Logan had removed all the miniature cameras and listening devices.
Finally, after confirming with his phone that there were no hidden devices left, he laid a basket full of cameras in front of Sophie. "All these...
"Now, our conversation should be a bit more private."
Logan's voice was low, adding to the stillness of the room. Sophie could clearly hear the sounds coming from the next room, the room upstairs and one across, a mix of women's screams, sobs, and cries. This place was a massive brothel!
Odie was the mastermind behind it all!
"The floors above are very dangerous. I know you want to investigate, but I advise you to leave as soon as possible."
With that, Logan tossed his phone in front of Sophie. "Contact whomever you need to and have them come get you."
"You know who I'm going to call?"
Sophie looked at Logan warily.
On their first meeting, this man inexplicably urged her to leave her engagement party. Now, this was their second encounter, and he was showing her the illegal activities behind Minton International and helping her escape from Odie's clutches.
Sophie had no memory of Logan from her past life or since her rebirth. She remembered the sons of wealthy families in Devonport, but she had no idea who Logan could be.
"Get moving. Stop playing your detective games. You're out of your league."
Logan grabbed Sophie's arm and started pushing her out of the room.
Before Sophie could get any answers from Logan, she was pushed out of e the room
With a bang, she found herself locked out.
A patrolling guard saw Sophie, frowned, and said, "What's going on here? Did you not satisfy the client?"
"Looking for trouble, are you? Come with me!"
The guard grabbed Sophie and started dragging her down the hallway. Just then, Wayne, bearing ve the commotion, came over. Upon seeing Sophie, he quickly intervened. "Stop! What are you doing? How dare you lay a hand on Ms. Sophie?"
