"I can't just sit back and watch you cause trouble around the boss."
Jonah's gaze was icy. Just as he was about to make his move, Sophie suddenly stopped retreating and said calmly, "Odie, if you've had your fun, come out now."
Hearing Sophie's words, Jonah frowned slightly. From behind a tree in the corner, Odie slowly emerged. "Jonah, stop scaring her."
Jonah halted, his face full of reluctance. But since Odie had spoken, he had no choice but to follow the rule.
Sophie glared at Odie, who was standing not far away. "Having fun?"
"Jonah doesn't trust you, so he wanted to test you. I assume Ms. Sophie wouldn't mind."
"Of course, I mind," Sophie retorted, casting Jonah a cold glance. "Who knows if your fiercely loyal sidekick here might just decide to get rid of me on the spot?"
If Odie didn’t personally assured her in the hospital that without his command, Jonah wouldn't kill her, she might have actually suspected Jonah was out to murder her.
Fortunately, this was just a test.
Odie pointed to a nearby man-made lake and asked, "This is the land Minton International is planning to develop. I'm curious to see, given your insights into real estate development, how much money this place will make in the future."
Only then did Sophie notice that this was a development project covering thousands of acres. Such a large piece of land, if not turned into a commercial district, would be a new residential area with a significant green belt.
"It depends on your plans, but with such a large piece of land, it's bound to be profitable."
This location wasn't even suburban. With such a large piece of land, Odie would certainly make a profit, whether in a few years or over a decade, to break even.

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.
