Chapter 803
Sophie shook her head and continued, “If you ask me, you would be better off heading back to Summerfield. The foundation there is what really matters,
and your tricks won’t By in Devonport.”
Then she turned to Tricia, who was standing beside her, and said, “Start the car and make sure our guests are taken to Aldridge Estate properly. Mr. Aldridge has personally set up a dinner there to entertain everyone.”
“Yes, Ms. Sophie.”
Tricia led the group away from the Minton family’s place, leaving just Odie and Jonah in the vast, empty banquet hall.
*Boss…”
Odie scowled, yanking his tie off. “Find Kiran and get him here! If he isn’t here by midnight, there’s gonna be hell to pay!”
Jonah, rarely seeing Odie this furious, nodded quickly. “Yes, boss. I’ll have him brought over ASAP!”
Once Jonah left, Odie kicked a nearby chair, sending it flying. Ricardo, who had been lurking in the shadows, took the chance to step out, smirking. “Odie, never thought I’d see you looking so desperate.”
Odie’s eyes narrowed at the sight of Ricardo. “Ricardo?”
Ricardo had already been dismissed by Odie, yet here he was again, seemingly asking for trouble.
“You and I both got played by Sophie. If you had lent me the money, I could’ve taken back the Cloude family! But it’s not too late. Just give me three hundred million, and I swear the Cloude family will back you all the way!”
Ricardo’s gaze was intense, desperate. He was drowning in debt and without three hundred million, he’d have to hand over all his shares in the Cloude family to Sophie. If that happened, he’d be left with nothing.
Ricardo was sure this time Odie would help him out. But to his surprise, Odie took off his suit jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and punched Ricardo square in the face. The force sent Ricardo flying a meter away.

Ricardo, blood at the comer of his mouth, wiped it away and glared at Odie, fury in his eyes. ‘Odie! You hit me?”
‘Dawn right, I do! What do you think you are? Thinking you can take on Sophie and Colby with your idiocy? Forget three hundred million, I wouldn’t give you a dime! Get loot!*
Odie was on the brink of losing it, and Ricardo’s persistence was just fueling the fire.
“Odie! You’ll regret this! Sooner or later, Sophie and Colby will be the end of you!*
Ricardo spat his threat and stormed off in a rage. Odie, still fuming, shouted, “Someone!*
“Boss…” His men approached, visibly trembling. Their boss rarely got this angry, but when he did, it was never good news for anyone.
Noticing them keeping their distance, Odie snapped, “Why are you standing so far away? Think I’m gonna eat you?”
…No, boss!*
The subordinates took a couple of cautious steps closer, and Odie grabbed one by the collar, coldly ordering, “Get ready, we’re going to crash the Aldridge
estate!”
