Chapter 612
There was no response from across the room.
Sophie asked again, “You weren’t, by any chance, a boxer before, were you?”
Odie emerged from the bathroom and shouted to someone outside the door, “Come in.”
Polly pushed the door open and entered, looking somewhat afraid upon seeing Odie. “Mr. Odie..”
“Get her changed” Then, Odie left the room.
As soon as Odie exited, Polly hurriedly ran towards Sophie, crying, “Ms. Sophie, are you alright…”
“I’m fine, no big deal. Thankfully, you understood my signal.”
At that moment, Polly noticed Sophie’s arm. She had already heard it from the doorway and asked in a low voice, “Ms. Sophie, your
“Don’t worry, I did it to myself.”
“What?” Polly was astonished, “Isn’t this Gattlin…”
“He’s not a bull, and it would be absurd if my arm was dislocated just by bumping into him.”
But if she hadn’t done this, Odie might suspect her of setting a trap.
A woman with ulterior motives trying to seduce him was far less likely to arouse a man’s protective instinct than a stubborn woman being humiliated right under his nose.
If discovered, the slight special fondness she had managed to evoke in Odie would vanish.
“Ms. Sophie, I understand. You did it all for me, so I will definitely keep it a secret for you!”
Sophie nodded, “Good, as long as you understand.”
With Polly’s testimony, the injuries Sophie sustained in front of Odie, plus the scene Odie witnessed with his own eyes, and Gattlin’s inherently lascivious character, Odie would never believe Gattlin’s words again.
Meanwhile, a doctor had already bandaged Gattlin’s wounds in the cabin, and two mercenaries pushed the door open and escorted Gattlin out without a word.
On the deck, Odie glanced at Gattlin, who was tied up, his face expressionless.
“Mr. Odie… I’m really innocent. It was that woman who seduced me! Mr. Odie, you can investigate! I’ve been by your side for so long, I would never lie to you, Mr. Odie!”
Panic was evident all over Gattlin.
Odie raised an eyebrow and slowly walked up to Gattlin, saying, Tve said many times, no one touches my prey.”
Gattlin trembled all over his forehead covered in cold sweat. “But, Mr. Odie…. I wouldn’t dare… I wouldn’t dare…”
“I admire people with courage like yours.”
“Mr. Odie.
“But I don’t like people lying to me.”
“Mr. Odie! I really didn’t lie! I swear!”
“I’ve already investigated and seen the facts with my own eyes. You say you didn’t, so how can you prove it?”
“Surveillance… there’s surveillance! The surveillance can…
Gattlin’s words were cut short as he realized there were no surveillance cameras on the shipl
He saw the sinister smile on Odie’s face and broke into a cold sweat.
“Mr. Odie…”
“Even though there’s no surveillance, they all saw it, Odie sold calmly. “Bring everyone here.”
“Yes!”
Soon, all the maids in the cabin came out one after another,
Oattlin had threatened each of these maids before. When he saw them come out, his heart sank.
