“Why isn’t he here yet?” Odie’s voice was laced with impatience as he glanced towards Jonah.
Jonah responded, “Caelum’s already sent someone to hurry him along, but the Pollards said Caelum has his own plans and can’t be disturbed right now.”
“Can’t be disturbed?” Odie’s expression darkened, a dangerous edge creeping into his voice. “Are the Pollards playing games with me?”
“Even if the Pollards have influence, they still need to show you some respect. After all, Ms. Sandy is about to marry into the Minton family.”
“Marry into…” Odie let out a derisive laugh. The Pollards truly thought they were above everyone else, as if marrying their daughter to him was beneath
them.
“Tell them, if Kiran doesn’t show up today, the wedding between the Minton and Pollard families is off!”
Jonah frowned. “Please, think about this.”
The Pollards are one of the oldest families overseas, their influence deeply rooted over the years. Even though Odie was now even more powerful than his father, he was still young. No one knew just how deep the Pollards‘ influence ran. Offending them could jeopardize many future business ventures for the Minton family.
Sensing Jonah’s concern, Odie took a moment to calm his anger. No one had ever dared to insult him like this.
Kiran? He’d remember that name.
Odie impatiently adjusted his tie. “What about S Corporation?”
“I heard the head of S Corporation is coming today.”
Odie smirked. “Blake is finally showing some sense.”
In Devonport, Blake was a mysterious figure. There had been rumors that S Corporation was actually owned by the actor Reece, but Odie had already investigated. Given Reece’s background, there was no way he could be linked to S Corporation.

“Is it Kiran?”
“No, it’s Ms. Sophie.”
“Sophie?” Odie’s lips curled into a slight smile. He hadn’t sent Sophis in invitation, but her uninvited appearance was a plement amputee
“Is Colby with her?”
“No, Ms. Sophie came alone. Colby isn’t here”
“Quite the solo appearance.”
Odie started to head out, but Jonah quickly stopped him. “Boss, Kiran hmant arrived yet. You can’t show yourself now.”
“If Kiran doesn’t respect me, I owe him no courtesy. The Pollard family might have a long reach, but it doesn’t extend to me
Odie strode out of the second–floor room, leaving Jonah powerless to step him. Jonah couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off lately. Odie had been acting impulsively, and it all seemed to revolve around Sophie
Was it because Sophie was Colby’s woman, or was it something about Sophie
herself?
In the hall, everyone turned to look as Sophie made her entrance, dressed to the nines, Naturally beautiful, she now sported bold, vintage style lipsticks, her hair styled in lazy curls draped over one shoulder, and a queen like burgundy dress that flowed elegantly around her. Her commanding presence kept everyone at a respectful distance,
