Polly was shaking with emotion, her face pale and full of pain. "Just to keep me as some backup, a pawn that might be useful in the future, Odie has hurt so many people! Do you know what? Summerfield is a city of sin, where human life means nothing, and there's no such thing as fairness! Those who team up with Minton International keep getting more powerful, while the poor stay poor, and the rich just get richer! This city is rotten to the core!"
Hearing this, Sophie was taken aback; she hadn't realized how chaotic Summerfield had become.
If Odie were to establish his den of sin, how many more would suffer in Summerfield?
Hesitantly, Sophie asked, "Polly, are you staying here to get back at Odie?"
"Revenge?" Polly laughed. "Ms. Sophie, what do you think this place is? This is Summerfield, and Odie is its king. How could someone like me possibly get back at Odie? I'm staying here because I've accepted my fate. I'm willing to stay, as long as I'm alive."
Wiping the tears from her face, Polly took a step back and said, "Ms. Sophie, I've told you everything I know. I'm telling you this to advise you not to make unnecessary sacrifices. Whatever you plan to do, in the end, you can't beat them."
"Polly..."
"Ms. Sophie, I've said enough for today. I'll be leaving now."
Polly turned and left the room.
Sophie remained silent, walking over to the window to look out at the city's center.
How had Summerfield's prosperity been achieved?
Was it through the exploitation of the poor by the rich?
Like Perry, who had lost all his family fortune overnight?
Sophie dared not continue her thoughts and rubbed her temples.
She had thought that coming to Summerfield would allow her to bring down Minton International once and for all. Yet, it now seemed that Minton International's influence was deeply entangled, pulling one string would move the whole web. Those allied with Minton International would never let it fall.

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....
