Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 634

Thinking of the contraceptives from earlier in the day, Sophie forced a smile and said, "Mr. Odie, I'm actually not that hungry."

"I know, the food at the hotel yesterday wasn't to your liking."

"No, no, no, I'm really not hungry." Sophie looked for an excuse to leave, her heart urging Colby to arrive quickly.

However, Odie had already begun eating, casually stating as if making small talk, "Jonah told me you contacted someone from S Corporation today."

"It was an old colleague. I was on paid leave for a TV show recording, and they were going to pay me thirty thousand dollars. When you submitted my resignation, Mr. Odie, I wanted to ask about it, considering high-paying jobs like that aren't easy to find these days."

As she spoke, Sophie instinctively picked up her fork, intending to use the action to cover up her unease. But then, remembering that Odie might have tampered with the food, she put the fork down again.

Odie noticed Sophie's action and chuckled, "What? Afraid I've poisoned it?"

"...No."

"I had Jonah check all your bank accounts and found you have a debt of seven million dollars, and the rest of your accounts don't even total ten thousand dollars. Ms. Sophie, you've lived quite modestly before."

Odie's words held a deeper meaning.

Sophie had guessed that Odie would investigate her bank accounts but didn't expect him to do so thoroughly.

Initially, to avoid raising James' suspicions, she transferred all her assets away, some to Reece, some to Colby, and some to Jenna.

As for that seven million dollar debt, it was a show put on for James. After all, she couldn't let James know she was the real owner behind S Corporation. Perry owed so much money, and she had to leave some gaps in the accounts to prevent James from investigating privately.

"You know, I used to be a rich girl, used to a life without financial worries, spending freely. The money burns a hole in my pocket, and my salary isn't enough for my expenses. I really need that thirty thousand dollars. Otherwise, I wouldn't risk calling S Corporation. Right, Mr. Odie?"

Sophie spoke sincerely, and Odie nodded, "Makes sense."
