Chapter 747
Sophie hadn’t forgotten how Odie dealt with Gattlin on that ship back then. Hearing his words now, she didn’t believe him at all. But outwardly, she nodded in agreement and said with conviction, “Mr. Odie, rest assured, we share a common goal. I’m not greedy. I only want to reclaim my place as the daughter of the Russell family and restore Russell Enterprises to its former glory after our success. As for everything here, naturally, it all belongs to you, Mr. Odie. I have no intention of coveting any part of it.”
“Really? Not coveting any part of it? Do you have any idea how much the monthly turnover will be once this place is up and running?” Odie seerned amused by her statement. It was his first time seeing someone stand in front of a mountain of gold and still speak of
contentment.
Odie said, “Alright, considering your injury and that your mind might not be at its best, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what you just said. Besides bringing you here to give Jonah peace of mind, it’s also to let you know that the entire Summerfield is under the control of the Minton family, Collaborating with me is definitely the right choice for you.”
“I understand.”
“Good. Get in the car”
Sophie frowned, “Where are you taking me now? Can’t I go back and rest?”
She was already injured, and yet Odie was still dragging her all over the place. It was truly stifling under Odie’s command.
Odie raised an eyebrow, “Taking you to get revenge. Happy now?”
Before Sophie could respond, Jonah had already driven up to them. In the car, Sophie felt uneasy. The revenge Odie spoke of–was he planning to confront Leticia and demand justice? Wasn’t Odie supposed to be forming an alliance through marriage with the Gibbs family? For a woman, Odie was blatantly offending the Gibbs family, wouldn’t this affect the relations between the two families? Had he lost his mind?
While Sophie was pondering these thoughts, the car had already arrived at Leticia’s house. The Gibbs family’s villa was right in the heart. of the city. The security at the gate immediately came forward to open the car door for Odie upon recognizing it.
“Mr. Odie, Mr. Gibbs went to the office early this morning. If you wish to contact Mr. Gibbs, we can call him right away.”
“No need, I’m here to see Leticia.” Odie was straightforward, and the security gave a look to the servant, who immediately tried to run into the villa to inform Leticia. However, Jonah stepped forward and grabbed the servant by the collar, preventing him from going inside to tip them off.
Sophie had her doubts. The Gibbs family was one of the major families in Summerfield, yet it seemed like they were all afraid of Odie? Shouldn’t Odie be making concessions for the status of the Gibbs family and choosing to form an alliance through marriage?
Soon, Odie stepped into the gates of the Gibbs family, and the servants, upon seeing Odie, were all extremely respectful.
Odie asked coldly, “Where is Leticia?”
“She… she is in her bedroom.”
Hearing this, Odie headed towards the bedroom. Sophie followed behind Odie, walking with difficulty. Odie deliberately slowed his pace, telling Sophie, “Keep your mouth shut later. Unless l’ask you, you’re not to speak.”
Sophie pretended to be obedient and nodded, “Mr. Odie, don’t worry, I’ll listen to you.”
