"Mr. Odie, back in the day, Perry lost a significant amount of money at our establishment, leading to the Russell family's bankruptcy. I suspect Sophie's closeness to you might have ulterior motives. Should we...?"
Gattlin made a throat-slitting gesture.
"No, keep her. I'll handle this."
Gattlin was surprised. "You're going to handle it personally? Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"
"Did you say she's shooting a reality show on our island?"
"Yes, but the shooting has been put on hold due to some public opinion issues. However, the lease is still active, so I think their crew and cast can't leave just yet."
"Get ready. I indeed fancy a change of scenery for my vacation."
Gattlin quickly added, "Mr. Odie, but it's not just Sophie on the island; James is there too. Should we...?"
Before Gattlin could finish, Odie's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Are you trying to tell me what to do?"
"Not at all!" Gattlin lowered his head in fear.
"Do as I say."
"Yes, Mr. Odie!"
After Gattlin left, Odie stared at Sophie's photo on his computer, revealing a cold smile. "Sophie... the Russell family's precious daughter... Interesting."
As the night deepened, Sophie woke up in bed, feeling sore all over. She struggled to get up, only to hear the housemaid, who was changing her towels, exclaim joyfully, "Ms. Sophie, you're awake!"
The room quickly buzzed with activity as the maid turned on the light and asked, "Do you feel unwell anywhere else?"
"My head feels heavy, and my feet light." Sophie briefly described how she felt, which was much better than she did during the day.

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....
