Chapter 881
Lately, Bea had been hanging around their place, stubbornly refusing to leave. She was dead set on staying close to his dad. She kept saying she wanted to find James, but for days, there was no sign she was actually looking. Instead, she was busy cooking and making tea for his dad, and sometimes they’d chat about old times.
Anyone with half a brain could see what Bea was after. But his dad’s heart was still with his late mom, and there was no way he’d fall for the old witch’s tricks.
James said, “Focus on your work and stop asking questions.”
Just as James finished speaking, Sandy’s loud voice came from outside: “Daddy! Daddy, I’m calling off the engagement with Odie! We broke up!”
Sandy’s voice was so loud that Angelo covered his ears. “Don’t mind her! That’s my sister. She’s spoiled. Just steer clear of her.”
James didn’t seem to care until Sandy started yelling, “Daddy! You’ve got to give Sophie a piece of your mind! That bitch isn’t satisfied with Colby. She went and seduced Odie too! She totally disrespects me!”
The name Sophie made James‘ eyes narrow.
Angelo mumbled to himself, “Sophie… Sophie…”
That name sounded familiar. Wasn’t that the same name as the woman who bought out
Devonport?
James stood up and walked to the door. Angelo was worried that James would leave the guest room at that moment. He quickly said, “Don’t go out!,If that old hag sees you, it’ll be a disaster!”
James initially wanted to open the door to get some answers, but in the end, he just cracked it open a bit.
Across the second floor, Caelum had already come out and was saying, “Calm down, calm down. The Russell family’s girl seduced Odie? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
“How could I be mistaken? Odie promised me he’d get rid of Sophie, but that very night he showered her with expensive jewelry and even took her to the Mintons‘ dinner party! Sophie did it on purpose! Stealing the guy Vanessa liked wasn’t enough, she had to go after my fiancé too!”
The Mintons‘ dinner party…
This is bad.
James immediately went to the sofa and pulled out the luggage from under the bed. Angelo covered his eyes. “Bro! Why are you changing clothes now?”

James ignored Angelo, knowing time was running out. If he didn’t leave now, it would be too late. James put on a mask and said to Angelo, “Hand me the car keys.”
Angelo was stunned. “Where are you going?”
“To the Mintons‘ dinner party.”
“Do you even know where it is?”
“Dragonvein Hotel.”
“How do you know?”
“No time for questions.”
James grabbed the car keys Angelo had just pulled out and slipped out the door unnoticed. Meanwhile, Sandy was making such a fuss that Bea also came out of her bedroom.
Bea had always disliked Sophie. Upon hearing that Sophie had seduced Odie again, she sneered and said, “That girl is nothing but trouble. First, she was all over my grandson, then she hooked up with Colby, and even the Aldridge boy was smitten with her. Now, she’s got her sights set on Odie. Caelum, you’d better deal with this woman fast, or Sandy might end up losing her future husband.”
