Chapter 752
Sophie’s words had barely left her lips when Polly froze.
Sophie continued, “You’re about my age. Odie wouldn’t keep you around just because you’re smart, there
I who
must be something else. Ever since I mentioned Daniel, you’ve looked off. A can’t even control her
own emotions–how could Odie let you have such a high position in the Minton family?”
וי
Polly bit her lip, clearly at a loss for words.
Sophie stepped closer to Polly and said, “Leticia might be the heiress of the Gibbs family, but she’s just an illegitimate daughter who’s been using her body to get favors for the Gibbs family and Odie. But Odie’s worried Leticia might become uncontrollable, so he keeps you close. Am I right?”
Polly’s face twisted, and Sophie knew she had hit the mark.
“Can I ask what you’re really after by staying with the Minton family?”
Polly clenched her teeth and replied, “My mom was once a plaything for the Summerfield elite, groomed by Minton International. Later, Daniel paid to take her away, keeping her as his mistress. But after she got pregnant, he never came back. When I was born, Mom realized Daniel had many other mistresses.” Tears welled up in Polly’s eyes, but they were filled with hatred, “When I was ten, Mollie found out about Mom. To vent her anger, Mollie had her beaten to death! I was at school, so I escaped. I tried to find Daniel, but he didn’t recognize me. He had too many mistresses, too many illegitimate children. He didn’t remember me. his own daughter!”
“And then?” Sophie’s heart ached with every word, but Polly just scoffed, “Then, I had to rely on scholarships and grants to get through school. Isn’t it pathetic? The year I graduated high school, the school hosted a charity dinner. We students on scholarships had to perform for the rich donors. I recognized Daniel right away, but he didn’t recognize me.”
Polly almost laughed, “He couldn’t even recognize his own daughter! At the dinner, the greedy looks from those so–called philanthropists, I’ll never forget! All the orphans there, boys and girls, were locked in a room. My dear friend Vera caught Daniel’s eye and was dragged away by his men…”
Polly gripped Sophie’s hand tightly, her eyes bloodshot
“The heart–wrenching screams that filled the banquet hall, you’ve probably never heard anything like it in your life! I still remember Vera’s face of despair! I threw myself at Odie, begging him to save me! When Odie took me out of the hotel’s main entrance, Vera fell from the building, her body landing right in front of us!”
“Vera’s legs and arms were broken, the wounds were deep to the bone, and blood splattered on Odie and me. But guess what? Odie just wiped the blood off his face with disgust and casually told someone to take care of the body, like it was nothing!
“Later, I found out that Odie had known who I was all along! He’s a monster. He set up that dinner to show me Daniel’s true colors, to plant the seeds of hatred in my heart!”
