Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 599

"I'm not one to waste food." Odie's simple statement hit Sophie directly.

Sophie, unfazed, responded, "Good, neither am I."

"What would you like for dinner tonight? Steak, pasta, Japanese, or French cuisine?"

"Anything is fine with me. I'm not picky."

Sophie's attitude was strikingly different from how she had been at noon, causing Gattlin to comment cheekily, "Mr. Odie, she only starts playing nice in front of you! At lunch today, she..."

Before Gattlin could finish, Odie cut him off, "Enough with all this beating around the bush. What are you trying to tell me?"

"Mr. Odie, you're truly a smart man."

Gattlin, standing aside, was baffled by what was happening.

Didn't Mr. Odie call Sophie over to punish her? Why wasn't he angry at all?

With a smile, Sophie said, "I would like a cellphone."

Odie heard Sophie's request for a cellphone and paused. His hands, which were previously holding cutlery, froze.

Gattlin was shocked, thinking Sophie really had hit a wall, and said, "You are just a hostage, and you want a cellphone. Ms. Sophie, you must be joking, right?"

"I know you left my ring with James. No matter what you're planning, James will never believe I'm dead."

Sophie watched Odie's expression closely. It seemed she had guessed right.

Odie thought the ring was from James, considering that everyone knew she and James had been married and had even participated in a reality show together.

"Smart. I did have someone keep the ring so that it would end up in the hands of whoever goes out to sea to look for you." Odie's eyes were filled with curiosity. "I am quite interested to see how long James wil float at sea before he realizes you're still alive."

Hearing this, Sophie sighed in relief. It seemed Odie was completely unaware of her relationship with Colby. That was for the best.

Sophie said, "Mr. Odie, you enjoy playing a game of cat and mouse, and boy, do you toy with us mice. But even mice have their moments of realization. I bet at this moment, James knows I'm alive and is desperately searching for me. I don't want the cellphone to contact him but to do something else."

Odie raised an eyebrow, "Go on."

"Mr. Odie, you sent mercenaries to hunt me and James on a deserted island, but the mercenaries ended up shooting the camera lens. Are you aware of this?" Sure enough, Odie's smile gradually faded.

Seeing this, Sophie immediately understood that the two mercenaries must have been dealt with. So, Odie had no idea what had happened in the jungle!

Sophie continued, "This was a live broadcast, watched by millions online. That gunshot shattered the camera lens, abruptly ending our broadcast. Viewers must be speculating about what happened to us, suspecting a terrorist encounter. With my disappearance and James' injury, it won't be long before the police start looking into it. Mr. Odie, you might be in trouble then."

Hearing this, Odie glanced at Gattlin beside him.

Gattlin was completely unaware of the serious incident, quickly saying, "Mr. Odie, cellphones and electronic devices weren't allowed on the cruise ship, so..."

"This isn't entirely Gattlin's fault. I've been missing for forty-eight hours now, and I bet the whole internet is buzzing, asking about mine and James' whereabouts and guessing what exactly happened on that deserted island. If you don't believe me, Mr. Odie, you could always check on a cellphone."
