“Harsh? Anyone who can be bought once can be bought twice. I made it through this time, but what about next?” Odie said icily. “This isn’t your quiet and peaceful Devonport. You won’t find many kind-hearted folks like you here.”
Sophie fell quiet at his words. This place was nothing like Devonport. Such blatant unfairness and crime would never happen there.
“So, Mr. Odie, since you know Leticia was behind the attack, what are you gonna do to her?” Sophie asked.
“Leticia has her uses. I’m not planning to punish her,” Odie replied nonchalantly. “You don’t need to worry about it. Go get some rest.”
Odie wasn’t interested in explaining further, so Sophie had no choice but to head upstairs.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Odie said, “Oh, right. I had Jonah print out that document. You have one night to memorize it and recite it to me.”
“Odie, are you serious? You tell me to rest, and now you want me to stay up all night memorizing documents?”
“So, will you do it or not?”
“...Fine! I’ll do it!”
Sophie wasn’t about to ignore the valuable information she had from Odie.
With only two days left until her meeting with Colby, she had to memorize all the information. It could come in handy later.
Thinking this, Sophie went upstairs. As she entered her room, she saw Polly frantically taking pictures of the document with a tiny camera.
“What are you doing?” Sophie asked sharply.
Polly jumped, clearly startled. “I- I wasn’t doing anything.”
She stammered and then bolted from the room in a panic.
Sophie walked in and was about to look at the document when she heard a commotion downstairs.

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....
