Revenge is best served cold (Jane and Jeremiah novel Chapter 698

Odie knew Jonah was not one to lie, so he turned to the maid standing by and asked, "What happened next? Continue!"

"After that… after that, Ms. Sophie seemed to say she wouldn't hurt you, Mr. Odie, and asked Jonah to let her go. Then Jonah seemed to get angry, and after that… Ms. Sophie fainted."

The maid recounted everything she had witnessed.

Jonah couldn't refute the claims. He simply said, "Sophie asked me to fetch her some cleaning soap, and that's when I went upstairs. When I came back, I noticed the guard on the first floor was gone, so I hurried down to the basement. I found Sophie sneaking around in the corner, so I went to check on her. Everything that happened next was just Sophie's trickery. Boss, you shouldn't believe her."

"So, you're saying her fainting was also an act?"

"It must have been," Jonah said earnestly. "I didn't touch her at all. As long as we can prove her fainting was fake, we can expose her lies."

Odie glanced at Jonah, then at Sophie lying on the ground. While he was still hesitating, Polly came over with a doctor. "Boss, the doctor is here."

"Alright."

Odie nodded, casually signaling the doctor to come over and check.

The doctor approached Sophie, examined her lower eyelids, and pinched her fingers.

Sophie showed no response.

The doctor brought out his instruments for a basic examination and then packed everything away after finishing.
