Colby set down his newspaper and strolled over to the couch, carefully reading its contents. "Odie's in such a rush, probably because he's desperate to get his hands on overseas resources," he remarked.
"Is he in a hurry to go against you?" Sophie asked.
"Not necessarily," Colby replied with a shrug. "Could be something going on in Summerfield."
"Something happened in Summerfield?" Sophie frowned, trying to recall the last event there but couldn't pinpoint any signs of trouble.
Honestly, if Odie had just stayed put in Summerfield, he could have been the big fish in a small pond. There was no need for him to dive into the murky waters overseas, which led to the Pollard family calling off the engagement and nearly ruining his reputation. If it wasn't for Odie's thick skin, anyone else would have slunk away in disgrace long ago.
"I'm not sure. Summerfield is Odie's turf, and I promised not to interfere there," Colby said. He noticed a flicker of disappointment cross Sophie's face, likely from not hearing any juicy gossip.
With a chuckle, he ruffled her hair. "But I've got my sources. If something big happens, I'll be the first to know."
Sophie snuggled into Colby's embrace and asked, "I remember you saying you and Odie were like brothers. What happened between you two?"
"He probably thinks I betrayed him."
"How so?"

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.
