Chapter 628
“What? It failed? How could it possibly fail? Explain yourself!” Solana was freaking out and yelling at horne
But the person on the other end of the phone quickly hung up.
The $200,000 was refunded back into her account, and Solana’s face turned pale instantly
Sophie wasn’t dead. Then what about Bea..
Biting her lip. Solana glanced at the photo she received from a contact two hours earlier, showing Sophie drugged and unconscious She steeled her heart and forwarded the photo to Bea
For now, she just had to bluff her way through!
While sending a voice message to Bea, Solana tried to keep her voice steady, cheerfully saying, “Aunt Bea, I just got the news that the matter has been taken care of. You can rest easy now”
After sending the message, Solana immediately started packing her bags at home. She had to leave Devonport as soon as possible and flee overseas!
The next moming, before dawn, Sophie was woken up by a knock on the hotel door. “Ms. Sophie, Mr. Odie is looking for you!”
Annoyed, she opened the door, grumping, “Can’t people get some sleep in the morning!”
“Mr. Odie said it’s urgent…”
The bodyguard made way for her. Only then did Sophie see a stranger standing across the hallway.
The man was tall, with an exceptional physique, and although his features were somewhat plain, he was handsome, nonetheless.
But he had an icy demeanor.
As Sophie approached this man, she felt a murderous aura emanating from him, an oppressive feeling that made her instinctively avert her gaze.
With such a numb expression, this must be Jonah, the personal bodyguard who was always rumored to be by Odie’s side.
Jonah silently pushed open the door, and there was Odie, leisurely sipping on tea in the living room.
“Take a seat
Hearing this, Sophie sat opposite Odie, asking, “What’s so urgent that you needed to see me first thing in the morning?”
“The person who hired a hit on you is Solana from overseas
“Solana?”
**You know her?”
“Bea’s niece. She’s somewhat related to the Burke family. I guess.”
“Oh
Odie slid some documents towards Sophie, saying, “She spent $200,000 to take out a hit on you.”
“How much?”
Sophie thought she misheard. She was once James‘ ex–wife, a former darling of the Russell family, well–known among Devonport’s
socialites.
Even when Nichole wanted Sophie dead, she spent a seven–figure sum!
Solana was really something for attempting to get it done for just $200,000.
“Does Minton International take any murder–for hire job as long as there’s money involved?”
But indeed, the city of Summerfield did have legal firearm possession. It was just that executing someone outside of Summerfield seemed overly audacious.
If a life cost $200,000, how many lives did Minton International have in their hands?
Sophie couldn’t think further, feeling a chill from the bottom of her heart.
“It’s not always the case. We consider the social status of our clients.”
Sophie had only asked casually, not expecting Odie to actually respond
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Sophie’s mind. If she could completely gain Odie’s trust, would he reveal Minton International’s secrets to her?
As Sophie pondered, she brought the tea in front of her to her lips, barely tasting it before she uncontrollably spat it out “Cough cough!”

Odie watched Sophie cough until her face turned red and frowned. “Why did you choke?”
“Is this strawberry milkshake?”
Sophie looked at the milkshake in her cup, then at Odie’s cup.
