Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 911

Odie's words had a kind of mesmerizing charm, and by the end of their conversation, Vanessa was almost convinced.

"But what about Sandy?"

"She's your friend, right? If she's really your friend, she'll understand. Besides, this is just a business arrangement, no real feelings involved. We're not really getting married. We're just trying to make Colby feel some pressure."

Hearing this, Vanessa nodded. "Alright, I'll get the dinner ready, but... Mr. Odie, you have to help me explain everything to Sandy afterward!"

"Of course."

Odie smiled, but as Vanessa's anxiousness grew, his smile faded.

Jonah, standing nearby, asked, "Boss, are you really going to explain things to Ms. Sandy?"

"Explain? Yeah, right."

Odie scoffed. "Once I'm engaged to Vanessa, I'll have access to the White family's overseas resources. With those, I can compete with Colby internationally. Who cares about their petty issues?"

"So, the part about not really getting married was a lie too?"

"Vanessa's just an orphan from the White family. If it weren't for their resources, why would I get engaged to her? She's so naive. We've already organized the dinner and invited the media. The whole world will know about the Minton family's alliance with the White family. How could we possibly call off the engagement?"

Jonah frowned. "But what if Vanessa and Colby make demands later, and Colby agrees for the sake of those resources?"

"Agree to what? To give up Sophie?" Odie shot Jonah a look. "Do you think Colby looks like someone who would give up Sophie?"

"Well..."

"Besides, Colby hates being threatened. He won't agree to any of Vanessa's demands."

Jonah couldn't hold back anymore. "Isn't this basically a scam marriage?"
