Chapter 733
Jonah stepped out of the lounge while Odie took a seat inside, casually sipping on the tea left on the table.
Outside the casino, a flood of patrons poured in.
Wayne had just finished dealing with Sandra, and as he descended the stairs, he caught a glimpse of Leticia stepping into the casino.
The air was filled with the melodious sound of a piano, and Leticia’s eyes immediately found Sophie, who was playing on the second floor.
Sophie’s piano playing was pure, enchanting all who heard it with a sense of serene delight:
“Ms. Leticia…. What brings you here at this time?”
Wayne’s face fell upon seeing Leticia. It was too late to have someone notify Odie.
With a scoff, Leticia replied, “How would I know someone else had already taken my place if I hadn’t come now?”
Leticia quickened her pace towards the upstairs, drawing the gaze of everyone present.
As soon as she reached the top, her first action was to deliver a slap to Sophie.
‘Slap-
The crisp sound echoed throughout the casino, silencing everyone.
It was well known that Leticia, Odie’s future fiancée, and heiress of the Gibbs family, held a prominent position in Summerfield. Crossing Leticia meant facing dire consequences.
Sophie was struck hard, a bright red mark instantly appearing across her cheek. Leticia’s nails were long and sharp, making it clear the slap was meant to hurt.
Only then did Sophie realize the woman standing before her possessed a deep–seated allure, her refined demeanor belying a hint of a wild past.
“Ms. Leticia!” Startled, Wayne immediately signaled his men to find Mr. Odie. Only Mr. Odie had the authority to calm the storm that was now brewing.
Sophie, confused, asked, “Ms. Leticia, what is this about?”
“Can’t you tell?”
As Leticia raised her hand for another slap, her wrist was suddenly grasped firmly. Leticia turned around and realized Odie had appeared behind her without notice.
Leticia angrily spouted an accusation, “Odie! You lied to me!”
“What did I lie to you
about?”
“You promised you’d fire her! How could you lie to me?”
Leticia pulled her hand away, her face a portrait of aggrieved innocence, but Odie’s gaze was unsympathetic as he coldly stated, “I also said there’s no need for you to come here anymore. Why didn’t you listen?”
“If I hadn’t come, would I have known you were pushing me away for another woman?”
She had been at Minton Casino for so long, for Odie’s sake, networking on his behalf. Yet, despite their engagement being indefinitely postponed, Odie chose another woman to replace her at the piano!
Odie, visibly irritated, massaged his temples and commanded coldly, “Jonah, take her away”
“Yes, boss.”
“Odie! You…”
Before Leticia could continue, Odie’s gaze turned icy as he warned in a low voice, “If you cause any more trouble, I’m gonna get real
Instantly, Leticia’s defiance diminished, and Jonah approached her, saying, “Ms Leticia, this way, please*
Leticia glared venomously at Sophie and bit out, “I’ll go, but this woman must
