"Yes, boss."
Jonah stepped out of the lounge while Odie took a seat inside, casually sipping on the tea left on the table.
Outside the casino, a flood of patrons poured in.
Wayne had just finished dealing with Sandra, and as he descended the stairs, he caught a glimpse of Leticia stepping into the casino.
The air was filled with the melodious sound of a piano, and Leticia's eyes immediately found Sophie, who was playing on the second floor.
Sophie's piano playing was pure, enchanting all who heard it with a sense of serene delight.
“Ms. Leticia… What brings you here at this time?”
Wayne's face fell upon seeing Leticia. It was too late to have someone notify Odie.
With a scoff, Leticia replied, “How would I know someone else had already taken my place if I hadn't come now?”
Leticia quickened her pace towards the upstairs, drawing the gaze of everyone present.
As soon as she reached the top, her first action was to deliver a slap to Sophie.
‘Slap—!’
The crisp sound echoed throughout the casino, silencing everyone.
It was well known that Leticia, Odie's future fiancée, and heiress of the Gibbs family, held a prominent position in Summerfield. Crossing Leticia meant facing dire consequences.
Sophie was struck hard, a bright red mark instantly appearing across her cheek. Leticia's nails were long and sharp, making it clear the slap was meant to hurt.
Only then did Sophie realize the woman standing before her possessed a deep-seated allure, her refined demeanor belying a hint of a wild past.
