Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 878

At twilight, Sophie had already changed into her evening gown and was making her way downstairs. Sandy and Vanessa still hadn't returned, but Odie had been waiting in the living room for quite a while. He glanced at his watch and then looked up to see Sophie coming down the stairs. "What took you so long?" he asked, clearly impatient.

Sophie caught the irritation in his voice, "It takes time for a girl to get ready perfectly, Mr. Odie. If you're in such a rush, feel free to go ahead. I'll catch up."

Odie let out a sarcastic snort. "Yeah, right. I leave first, and then you make a run for it? Sophie, do you really think I'm that foolish?"

"Oops, Mr. Odie caught me," Sophie said, feigning surprise. But before she could react, Odie grabbed her arm, making her stumble.

"Stop playing games with me. I'm not giving you any chance to escape," he said, snapping a pair of handcuffs onto her wrists.

Sophie studied the handcuffs in disbelief and laughed. "You actually brought these?"

"What do you think?" Odie replied with a smirk.

"So, when I joked about handcuffs last time, it wasn't that you didn't want to—you just didn't have them?"

"I had Jonah get them ready. Without my key, you'll have to wait for a firefighter to rescue you."

"You...," Sophie started, but Odie just dusted off his jacket and said to Jonah, "Let's go."

"Yes, boss," Jonah replied, leading the way. Sophie looked at the handcuffs on her wrists and couldn’t help but chuckle again. Could Odie get any more childish?

Outside the Costello mansion, Colby sat in his car, watching Odie's vehicle drive away. His subordinate's voice crackled through the Bluetooth earpiece. "She is in the car with Odie."

"Thanks, Captain Obvious," Colby retorted. "I'll follow them. You guys stay put."

"Yes!"
