Chapter 732
Hearing this, Sophie lifted her head, and Odie continued, “When she said that, it didn’t sound like an unfounded rumor”
Why would Sophie, out of the blue, provoke someone to gather forces and oppose Odie?
In Summerfield, standing against Minton International was a joke of the highest order. Even Sandra, with her limited wits, couldn’t fabricate such a lie.
Noticing the skepticism in Odie’s eyes, Sophie replied, “Yes, I did ask him to gather people to oppose you”
For a moment, the air around them seemed to freeze.
But soon, Sophie added, “Didn’t I tell you that night? I used your name and let him know I was your woman. I told him if he wanted to take me away, he’d have to gather people and oppose you. After I said that, he ran off fast. I don’t know if it was because the wind was too strong or the night was too dark, but Sandra must have heard wrong to concoct such a story”
“That does sound reasonable.”
“What I said is the truth. It’s my first time in Summerfield since I was born. How could I possibly have a past with a man? Look, that man will never dare to come to Minton Casino again. I believe he doesn’t have the guts to compete with you for a woman or even glance my way again.”
Odie noted Sophie’s understanding and remarked indifferently, “Makes sense.”
Facing Odie’s arrogance, Sophie almost laughed out loud. Fortunately, Odie wasn’t as smart as Colby and James; otherwise, she would really have a hard time bluffing her way through with Odie.
“Carry on playing.”
Odie settled back on the sofa and gestured to a waiter, who quickly placed a thick stack of musical sheets in front of Sophie.
Sophie stared at the music sheets, as thick as an Oxford dictionary, and blurted out, “What’s this for?”
“I had it specially prepared for you so you can play non–stop until dawn”
“This isn’t just for me to play until dawn. It’s so much music, you’re going to play me to death! Odie, is this some kind of vendetta?” Odie had already risen from the sofa, saying lazily to someone behind him, “I’m going to the lounge. Make sure she doesn’t miss a single piece.”
“Yes, Mr. Odie.”
Faced with Odie’s ruthless behavior, Sophie had no choice but to swallow her complaints.
Odie walked to the lounge, Sophie’s plano playing reaching his ears, and a slight smile appeared on his face. Jonah, standing by his side, frowned and said, “Boss, what Sandra said might not be entirely false. If Sophie secretly contacted Colby’s people, keeping her close could spell trouble.”
“She’s just a woman. Even if she has any schemes, she won’t succeed.”
At that, Odie added, “You seem to have quite an issue with her.”
“Che’s Colby’s woman.”
That comment dimmed Odie’s smile. “What are you getting at?”
“Colby won’t let his woman fall into your hands easily. If Colby and Sophie are working together, then, boss, you’re in danger”
If Sophie were just any woman, it might not matter. However, the last time she set a trap for Jonah, so he knew Sophie was not like any he had encountered before.
Even without relying on a man, she could use everything at her disposal to turn the tables against the wind.
Odie’s expression grew more serious “I understand. Let them proceed with the opening”
