Sophie felt a sense of foreboding, yet she found herself sitting across from Odie, guided by Polly's insistence.
Just like their last encounter, Odie was as arrogantly untouchable as ever, clad in a deep navy suit. A chest pin bearing the Minton International crest adorned his chest, and he moved with the air of a spoiled rich young man.
Resting his chin on his hand, Odie watched Sophie with interest and asked, "Should I address you as Ms. Sophie or Mrs. Costello?"
When Sophie remained silent, Odie arched an eyebrow and said, "Colby's acting skills are impressive. I really thought he was going to shoot you that day. If I had known there was something between you two, the evening would have ended differently."
"Did you bring me here just to tell me this nonsense?" Sophie retorted coldly.
Taking action at the engagement party was bold indeed.
Just last night, over a hundred business tycoons were invited to her engagement party. The Costello family's elite bodyguards and patrolling officers were all around the hotel. Yet, Odie managed to infiltrate, kidnap her, and escape unscathed.
Such a man was truly terrifying.
Odie's lips curved into a slight smile as he signaled Polly with a glance. Polly stepped forward and lifted the cover off the dish in front of Sophie.
Beneath the cover was a hand that had been soaked until swollen, emitting a putrid, salty smell that instantly assaulted Sophie's nostrils. She stood up instinctively, but in the next second, a strong force pressed down on her shoulder, forcing her back into the chair.
Jonah stood right behind Sophie, unnoticed by her until that moment.

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.
