"Mergers without love."
"Well, Mr. Odie, you sure don't beat around the bush."
Sophie glanced at the reporters from various major media outlets that Odie had invited and said, "If you think you can use the White family's clout to push out Colby, you're wasting your time."
"Oh? Don't believe me?" Odie said. "Sophie, you've tricked me more times than I can count, and I've let it slide because I'm generous. Today, you'll stand right here and witness how I take over Devonport's resources."
Sophie gave a slight smile, "Sorry, I'm not here to see you take over Devonport."
"Oh? Then why are you here?"
"To watch you make a fool of yourself."
A mischievous glint sparkled in Sophie's eyes.
In the center of the banquet hall, the host had already begun introducing the main stars of the evening. As the CEO of Minton Corporation, Odie was about to go on stage with Vanessa, the heiress of the White family, to announce their engagement. The major media outlets were ready to blast the news online.
Watching the host announce the good news, Odie handed his champagne glass to Sophie, saying, "Just watch, I will take back everything Colby has overseas."
Then, he strode toward the stage, and Vanessa stepped forward, naturally hooking her arm through his.
Sophie stood in the corner, ready for the show. She glanced at her watch.
She had intentionally made that bet with Sandy earlier and had Colby's people ensure Sandy couldn't get in touch with Vanessa, all for this moment.
An hour ago, she had someone give Sandy the address of the engagement party. Knowing Sandy’s fiery nature, she would definitely crash the party to confront Vanessa.
Sure enough, just as Vanessa and Odie were hand in hand on stage, a loud bang echoed from the banquet hall's doors, followed by a rush of footsteps.

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....
