Hearing this, Sophie lifted her head, and Odie continued, “When she said that, it didn’t sound like an unfounded rumor.”
Why would Sophie, out of the blue, provoke someone to gather forces and oppose Odie?
In Summerfield, standing against Minton International was a joke of the highest order. Even Sandra, with her limited wits, couldn’t fabricate such a lie.
Noticing the skepticism in Odie’s eyes, Sophie replied, “Yes, I did ask him to gather people to oppose you.”
For a moment, the air around them seemed to freeze.
But soon, Sophie added, “Didn’t I tell you that night? I used your name and let him know I was your woman. I told him if he wanted to take me away, he’d have to gather people and oppose you. After I said that, he ran off fast. I don’t know if it was because the wind was too strong or the night was too dark, but Sandra must have heard wrong to concoct such a story.”
“That does sound reasonable.”
“What I said is the truth. It's my first time in Summerfield since I was born. How could I possibly have a past with a man? Look, that man will never dare to come to Minton Casino again. I believe he doesn’t have the guts to compete with you for a woman or even glance my way again.”
Odie noted Sophie’s understanding and remarked indifferently, “Makes sense.”
Facing Odie’s arrogance, Sophie almost laughed out loud. Fortunately, Odie wasn’t as smart as Colby and James; otherwise, she would really have a hard time bluffing her way through with Odie.
“Carry on playing.”
Odie settled back on the sofa and gestured to a waiter, who quickly placed a thick stack of musical sheets in front of Sophie.
Sophie stared at the music sheets, as thick as an Oxford dictionary, and blurted out, “What’s this for?”

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.
