"Mr. Odie, please, think about it. Why would I drug you? And where would I even get such drugs? I was barely out of bed this morning when you dragged me to shop for pianos and clothes, and then I got mysteriously knocked out and brought to the Minton Casino's lounge. Even so, you shouldn't be suspecting me!"
Sophie's response made Odie furrow his brows. In his anger, he hadn't considered that Sophie had neither the reason nor the means to drug him.
"Mr. Odie, I know you're upset, but I think you need to calm down and think carefully. Have you eaten or drunk anything unusual?"
Sophie intentionally shifted Odie's suspicion, and sure enough, Odie thought of the tea he had drunk in the lounge.
"Jonah!" Odie said coldly, "Beat that bitch to death!"
"Yes, Mr. Odie."
Jonah quickly left, leaving only Odie and Sophie in the room.
Sophie stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, Mr. Odie, I'll be going."
"Stop!" Odie's voice was laced with chill and danger. "Who allowed you to come up to the third floor?"
Sophie was nervous inside but remained calm on the surface. She had already prepared her response and wasn't afraid of Odie's questioning. "I was brought up here by someone. I was curious, so I half-willingly followed. Little did I know what the third floor was..."
Sophie pretended to be embarrassed, prompting Odie to tease her, "Didn't you say you wanted to stay here to m ake money? What, scared now?"

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.
