In the car heading back to the Mintons' estate, Odie sat in silence. Sophie, forced into handcuffs and a blindfold, found herself enveloped in an eerie quiet.
Feigning nonchalance, Sophie piped up, "Mr. Odie, having a bad day?"
"Shut up."
"Caelum made quite a scene earlier. What happened after that?"
"Keep talking, and I'll sew your mouth shut. Got it?"
Despite the anger in Odie's voice, Sophie couldn't help but find some amusement in the situation. It was obvious—his marriage plans with Sandy had gone up in smoke.
Without the Pollard family's backing, Odie would be powerless overseas. Within a week, the Mintons' overseas ventures would likely crumble. And any businesses trying to curry favor with the Mintons would have to rethink their strategy. No wonder Odie was in such a foul mood tonight.
"Boss, today's events were suspicious. Ms. Sandy said a maid told her about Mrs. Costello joining you at the dinner. Should we investigate once we're back?"
"Do I need you to tell me that? Find the person and bring them to my study. I'll handle it myself."
Sophie's brow furrowed. Why did Sandy have to spill everything? If the investigation led back to Polly, she'd be in serious trouble.
Back at the Minton Estate, Sandy was already packing up her belongings, including Vanessa's things.
Clueless about the situation, Vanessa asked, "Sandy, what are you doing?"
"You have no idea how disgusting Odie is! I thought he was just low-class, but he's rotten to the core!" Sandy fumed, wishing she could tell Vanessa everything she'd witnessed at the dinner. But she knew Vanessa had never dealt with such matters, and she hesitated.

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....
