"Yes, boss!"
Odie's man was about to round up the crew, but just as he was stepping out of the grand banquet hall doors, James walked in.
Surveying the empty hall, James said with a hint of irony, "Looks like I'm fashionably late."
"James?" Odie's tone dripped with danger. "You knew all along that Sophie runs S Corporation. Why didn't you clue me in?"
"Sophie runs S Corporation?" James raised an eyebrow, genuinely surprised. "I had no idea."
"Cut the crap, James! You and Sophie were married. How could you not know she's the one pulling the strings at S Corporation?"
James' face was unreadable. "Sophie and I were only married on paper. I really didn't know anything about her business dealings."
Studying James, Odie had to admit he didn't seem like he was lying.
Taking a deep breath, Odie barked to the stunned man beside him, "What are you standing around for? Go and trash the place!"
"Yes, boss!"
The men had barely taken a few steps when James stepped in front of them, "Hold it."
As James blocked their path, they turned to gauge Odie's reaction.
Odie frowned, "What now?"
"The Aldridge family is highly respected in Devonport. If you go after them, you'll never be able to establish yourself here."
"Even you can't handle the Aldridges?" Odie challenged.
"It's not that I can't," James explained. "It's just a huge hassle. Plus, Sophie has united some of the oldest families into a single force. Just dealing with the Costellos alone would be tough for you. Together, these families practically run Devonport."
