Chapter 98 Sofia Was Paralyzed With Fear, Her Eyes Fixed On Her Father

• Sofia was paralyzed with fear, her eyes fixed on her father, whose face reflected panic. The silence around them was oppressive, broken only by their racing hearts.
• Frederick tried to remain calm as he spoke to his daughter: "Calm down, my little wolf," he whispered in a trembling but loving voice, "they won't hurt us." He swallowed hard, aware of the dangerous situation they were in.
• Two of the criminals approached the car, one from each side. The tension in the air was palpable, and Sofia clung to her father's gaze in search of comfort. One of the assailants broke the silence with an authoritative shout.
