Chapter 879
“Wait, what did you say?”
When Sandy heard that all those expensive jewels were prepared by Odie for Sophie, her face turned dark instantly. Vanessa was equally stunned. She had no idea that Odie planned to take Sophie to any dinner party. Now, Sophie was Colby’s wife. What on earth was Odie thinking, openly taking Colby’s wife to a dinner party?
“This is outrageous! How dare Odie treat me like this!” Sandy gritted her teeth and said, “Vanessa, do you see this? Sophie is nothing but a man–eater! She’s already got Colby but still isn’t satisfied. She’s trying to seduce other men! I’m going to tell Dad right now and get him to call off my engagement with Odie!”
Vanessa was lost in thoughts about why Odie was taking Sophie to the Mintons‘ dinner party. By the time she snapped out of it, Sandy had already stormed out.
No! If Sandy tells Caelum, he will definitely bring people to the Mintons‘ dinner party. Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, how could Odie abduct Sophie? Sophie would be saved, wouldn’t she?
“Sandy! Sandy, you can’t go!”
Vanessa immediately chased after her, but Sandy, fueled by rage, jumped into her sports car and sped away. Vanessa’s heart wasn’t in the best condition. She gasped for breath and quickly grabbed the arm of one of the security guards. “You, hurry to the Mintons‘ dinner party, and inform Mr. Odie that Sandy knows he took Sophie there, and she’s going to tell Caelum! Now!”
“Yes!” The security guard replied in a panic.
Meanwhile-
Odie’s car pulled over to the side of the road. He removed the blindfold from Sophie’s eyes and unlocked her handcuffs. “You can get out now.”
After getting out of the car, Sophie finally saw the building clearly.
“Boss, is it really the time to remove her blindfold? What if she recognizes the place?”
“It’s fine. She has never been abroad before. She won’t recognize it.”
Listening to Odie and Jonah’s carefree conversation, Sophie glanced at the two men. “I’m still standing here. Could you perhaps discuss me when I’m not around?”
“No need for that.”
Odie strode inside without waiting for Sophie. Sophie wasn’t angry. Odie was used to being arrogant. He probably thought she wouldn’t know where this building was located. He didn’t consider that on her first day abroad, Colby had already taken her on a grand tour around the city center.
She recognized the important places. Including this one, which was actually the largest casino next to the Dragonvein Hotel. Colby had mentioned that this hotel was a local icon, with the Pollard family attempting to buy it several times, but their offers were always rejected by the mysterious financial backer. Unexpectedly, this Dragonvein Hotel turned out to be the Mintons‘.
Sophie took a closer look at Odie’s back. With Odie’s brains… could he manage the Dragonvein Hotel? And he even rejected the Pollard family’s acquisition?
There must be something fishy going on.
At that moment, Odie’s voice came from ahead, “You’re dawdling back there. Are you thinking of escaping?”
