"You're lying."
Odie's voice was ice-cold. "Maybe I can't beat you at your own game, but don't think I'm an idiot."
He stepped up to James, his eyes piercing. "You promised me shares in Burke International, then turned around and pledged those same shares to Sophie. Were you trying to double-cross me, making me work for you with nothing to show for it? Is that what this is?"
"Mr. Odie, you're reading too much into it."
Odie sneered. "James, don't take me for a fool. You've already signed a share transfer agreement with Sophie. In three months, Burke International goes to her. You end up as just the ex-CEO. The shares you promised me are worthless. You've been scheming to hand Burke International over to Sophie, and now you want me to wrest it from her?"
James chuckled. "It seems... Mr. Odie isn't as clueless as I thought."
Odie's face turned stony. "Sophie just got the share transfer document from Elodie, and she was targeted the moment she walked out. I saw the car; they weren't trying to kidnap her, they wanted her dead. When that car explodes, everything burns to ashes, including that document."
The implication was clear.
Someone didn't want Sophie to get that agreement!
"James, you've been playing a clever game, but I'm not falling for it. If you want that share agreement, go get it yourself."
Odie turned to Jonah. "Show Mr. Burke out."
"Yes."
Jonah gestured politely to James. "Mr. Burke, this way."
James pressed his lips together, saying nothing. He hadn't expected Odie to catch on so quickly.
It appeared Odie wasn't just ruthless; he was sharp too. Though his intelligence seemed inconsistent.

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
