Chapter 741
Legends say that the treasure of Dever
always been clutched tightly by the four great families, and only a handful know of its existence. Over a century has passed, and hardly anyone searches for the Devonport treasure anymore. If someone were to claim it, the fortune could rebuild Russell Enterprises a hundred times over.
“Alright, if you can truly help me overthrow Colby and seize the Devonport treasure, I promise to aid you in rebuilding Russell Enterprises, allowing you to once again be the lady of the esteemed Russell family.”
“Deal.”
Sophie extended her hand, and as her fingertips touched Odie’s, their agreement was sealed.
“Alright, then I’ll be on my way, looking forward to Mr. Odie’s next move.”
Sophie left with a swagger.
After she was gone, Jonah spoke up, “Mr. Odie, can we really trust her?”
“A high–society lady, fallen into bankruptcy and reduced to a man’s accessory, eager to rebuild the Russell family and reclaim her status – it’s perfectly normal. There’s nothing to doubt.”
“But Sophie claims she knows the secret to the Devonport treasure. If she really knew, why wouldn’t she get it herself?”
Odie replied, “The Russell family is only one of the four major families, not the leader. The little she knows wouldn’t lead her to the Devonport treasure.”
“So, Mr. Odie, you’re still going along with this?”
“Having something is better than nothing. By using this opening with Sophie, I’ll find a way to pry into the other families.”
One is the carefree head of Tredgold Corporation, Adler.
Another is his arch–enemy, Colby.
And then there’s Gordon, the most cunning leader of the major families, the most knowledgeable about the secrets.
If he could find a way to capture Gordon, he would definitely pry open that man’s mouth.
Late at night, in the center of Summerfield city, Wayne personally drove Sophie away.
As she looked at the sparse traffic on the streets, Sophie’s thoughts drifted.
Now that she had boarded Odie’s ship, she wondered if William had conveyed her message.
All she hoped for now was for Colby to return to Devonport, strategize, and seize the chance to take down Odie and Minton International in one fell swoop.
Just as Sophie’s thoughts began to wander, suddenly a beam of light hit their car.
Wayne shouted, “Ms. Sophie, watch out!”
Boom-
Sophie first felt a violent impact that seemed to shatter all her organs.
Then, she heard the loud crash of cars colliding.
In front of her, Wayne had already fallen into a pool of blood, Sophie’s vision blurred, the car was mangled from the impact, and she was trapped inside, unable to move.
Sophie heard the sound of someone walking in high heels. Leticia stared at Sophie, who couldn’t move inside the car, and sneered, “No one can compete with me for Odie. Anyone who tries to take what’s mine must die.”
Leticia’s face, usually stunning, was now twisted by jealousy. Two men in black directly poured gasoline on the car.
Once it caught fire, the car would explode instantly.
Leticia leaned in front of the car window, watching Sophie’s dying struggles with interest, “No matter who you are, now… you can go to hell!”
