Chapter 693
Hearing this, Odie nodded in agreement. “There’s some truth to that.”
“So, wanting to get back at a man who played with my feelings isn’t abnormal, is it?”
“It’s only natural,” Odie said approvingly. “If it were me dealing with people who toy with others‘ emotions like that. I might not only want to finish them off but also stab them a few extra times.”
Sophie continued, “I value my life more than anything. I wouldn’t lose it over any man. I’ve lost everything. I’m no longer part of the Russell family, and am penniless, and I don’t have my position at S Corporation. I doubt I can even return to Devonport. I’m hoping you can offer me a job in Summerfield. I want to earn enough money to get back at that scumbag!”
“So, you’re planning on being a dealer in Minton Casino?”
“Exactly!” Sophie quickly agreed, causing Jonah to frown,
Odie seemed interested. “Alright, Ill give you a chance.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“So, I won’t have to be locked up anymore?”
“Of course not.”
Odie glanced at Jonah. “Go get a clean set of clothes for her
“…Yes, boss.”
Jonah reluctantly gave Sophie a look before leaving the room.
Odie tossed a towel to Sophie. “Go take a shower, then come out.”
Sophie looked at Odie’s bathroom and didn’t refuse. She walked straight into the bathroom and, for safety, locked the door behind her.
Soon, the sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom.
Outside, Jonah came in with a set of clothes. He frowned and asked, “Boss, do you really believe what this woman says?”
“What’s not to believe?” Odie sipped some red wine. “Moreover, I never believed Colby could fall for a woman.”
“But they got engaged.
“It’s just a competition with the Burke family. Colby has always wanted Devonport, and James was his target.” Odie said indifferently, “What’s more irritating than marrying James‘ ex–wife? Besides, Sophie is from the Russell family. She must know a lot of their secrets. Marrying Sophie is all gain and no loss for him.”
“But…”
“Enough, put the things down and leave.”
Yes, boss.”
Jonah put down the clothes and left the room, making sure to close the door behind him.
After a moment, Sophie peeked out from the bathroom. “Mr. Odie, where are my clothes?”
Odie had his back turned and didn’t even glance towards the bathroom. He casually threw the clothes lying on the sofa over his shoulder, and Sophie quickly caught them and retreated back into the bathroom.
The sound of a hairdryer started up inside, and Odie suddenly felt a bit thirsty. After a while, Odie asked coldly. “Are you done yet?”
“I’m done. I’m done.”
Sophie, not minding that her hair wasn’t completely dry, began to dress. When Sophie saw the clothes Odie had prepared for her, her expression darkened.
