The maid's body stiffened, too scared to move an inch.
Jonah's voice was cold as he said, “I haven’t done anything. Why are you running?”
“Right, right… Jonah, you didn’t do anything…”
The maid shook her head repeatedly.
Sophie saw her chance and immediately cried out, “Jonah, I know you have issues with me, but I really didn’t mean to harm Mr. Odie. Please, let me go!”
Jonah quickly realized this was all Sophie's doing, a flash of murderous intent passing through his eyes. “Sophie!”
Before Jonah could act, Sophie closed her eyes and fainted on the spot.
The maid turned pale with fear and ran upstairs, shouting, “Someone help! Someone! Ms. Sophie has fainted!”
Jonah glanced at Sophie lying on the ground, his brow furrowing deeply.
Outside Mr. Odie’s bedroom on the second floor, Polly knocked on the door in a panic. “Boss! There’s been an incident!”
“Come in.”
Polly opened the door and saw Odie getting dressed. She immediately lowered her head and said, “Boss, Ms. Sophie fainted in the wine cellar…”
“Fainted?” Odie looked up, his voice cold. “And where was Jonah?”
“Right there when it happened. The maid said it was Jonah… he wanted to kill Ms. Sophie.”
Polly’s words made Odie’s frown deepen. He casually threw on his coat and headed for the door.
The basement was already crowded by the time Odie arrived, and people stepped aside to let him through.

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....
