Chapter 900
In the heart of the Costello family mansion, Polly was dragged before Sophie by one of
Colby’s men.
“Don’t move!”
Polly’s face was ashen. The moment she saw Sophie, she lowered her head, filled with panic and confusion.
Sophie’s voice was icy. “Polly, I’ve kept my end of the bargain. People should keep their promises, right? Did you give what I wanted to Odie already?”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Sophie… I’m really sorry… That phone wouldn’t have been any use to you. I had to give it to Odie to earn his trust!”
“What are you talking about?”
“I checked that phone after I got off the boat. It was empty, nothing on it at all. A phone like that could never incriminate Odie! I had to get back to his side.”
“So, you sacrificed me to gain Odie’s trust?”
Sophie’s tone grew even colder. She could understand Polly betraying her to survive, but she couldn’t fathom the repeated deceit.
If it could have been Odie’s downfall or had provided any evidence against him, it might have been worth it. But there was nothing! All their planning was for nothing.
“Ms. Sophie… I’m really sorry, but I hope you can understand me. I couldn’t just let it go. I had to be by Odie’s side to gain his trust. I wanted to find evidence of his crimes!”
“And did you?”
“I…”
“You’ve been around Odie for a long time, haven’t you? Does Odie trust you? Or have you gotten close to the core of the Minton family?”
“I…”
“You’ve been nothing more than a servant in the Minton household, harboring hatred and surviving day by day, without ever considering how to truly defeat your enemy! All these -years, and you still haven’t earned his trust, yet you’ve doomed me!”
Sophie’s words hit hard, leaving Polly looking miserable.

For years, she had thought about revenge every single day, but her capabilities were limited. She couldn’t manage it.
Each day, she consoled herself with the thought that as time passed, Odie, would surely start to trust her, and eventually, she’d get close to the core of the Minton family!

Chapter 900
Even when Leticia died, she naively thought Odie would use her as a pawn against Daniel.
But Odie had completely forgotten about her, abandoning both the Gibbs family and her!
Odie’s alliance through marriage with the Pollard family abroad had almost driven her to despair.
It wasn’t until Sophie appeared before her that she finally thought she could prove her worth. Yet, in the end, she messed it up.
“Do whatever you want with me. I don’t care!” Polly’s demeanor was one of resignation.
Colby asked, “Babe, should we kill her?”
Hearing Colby’s voice, Polly’s body trembled with fear.
Sophie said indifferently, “If you have useful information about the Mintons, I’ll spare you. If not, I’ll send you back to the Minton family. I think Odie would be very interested in hearing about your capture.”
“Don’t… don’t send me back.”
Fear was written all over Polly’s face. Staying with Sophie, her situation might be bearable. But if she’s sent back to the Minton family, Odie would surely suspect her of conspiring with Sophie and Colby, and he might actually kill her!
“Just like I said, I’ve been by Odie’s side for many years, and he only ever saw me as a maid. barely entered his study, let alone knew any core secrets of the Mintons…”
