Chapter 846
Outside the Drennon estate, Johns was practically fuming as he sped home. In the back seat, Vanessa had never seen her usually calm and kind uncle look so furious. She couldn’t help but speak up, “Uncle Johns… could you slow down a bit?”
“Shut up!” Johns snapped, glaring at her through the rearview mirror.
He had thought Vanessa was Colby’s old flame and that Colby would still have some feelings for her. But Vanessa had proven to be utterly useless! She had crumbled after just a few words. Compared to Sophie, who was always by Colby’s side, Vanessa was just eye candy.
After Johns‘ outburst, Vanessa’s face turned pale.
As Johns pulled up to his villa, he saw the front door wide open with men in black suits moving in and out. He slammed on the brakes, jumped out of the car, and shouted, “Who gave you permission to move my stuff? Who sent you?”
“This is your termination notice. We’re simply following company protocol. This villa is assigned to directors by the company, and since you’ve been terminated, we have to reclaim it for the next director.”
“What did you say?” Johns gritted his teeth. “Is this Colby’s doing?”
“It’s Mr. Colby’s decision and the company’s,” the secretary replied nonchalantly, directing his team to speed up the moving process.
“Don’t move them! Don’t take away my things! Where are you taking them?”
Hailee ran out crying. Seeing John, she threw herself at him, “Honey, where are they taking our things? Say something!”
Johns was about to explode, “This is outrageous! Colby is going too far! I’ve dedicated my life to the White family, and now I’m losing my home! Colby, this isn’t over between us!”
Vanessa watched the chaos unfold, suddenly realizing the sheer power Colby wielded. Did she need power too, for Colby to come back to her?
News of Colby’s return overseas with his wife had spread like wildfire, quickly making headlines on various platforms and newspapers.
Reading the news, Odie sneered. Colby sure moved fast. But what he hadn’t expected was for Colby to bring Sophie along.
In the study, Jonah lowered his head. “Boss, it was my fault. I didn’t expect Vanessa to be so useless.”
“It’s not your fault. Colby came prepared, and Sophie is no pushover.”
Ever since learning that Sophie was the powerhouse behind S Corporation, Odie had

started taking her seriously. In the past, Sophie had pretended to be weak and pitiful around him, but it was all an act.
Thinking this, Odie felt a surge of frustration. If he got Sophie in his grasp again, he’d make sure she paid dearly!
Odie adjusted his tie, asking, “Has Sophie’s addiction kicked in yet?”
“According to the timeline, she should’ve had withdrawal symptoms two or three times by now,” Jonah frowned. “But Sophie hasn’t begged for mercy, and she seems perfectly fine. Could she have kicked the habit?”
“Impossible,” Odie said coldly. “I know the drugs I’ve developed. In just a few days, there’s no way she could overcome it! Unless she’s some kind of miracle worker.”
“Then why? Could it be… she’s continued using drugs, so she doesn’t suffer from withdrawal?”
