Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 617

Odie watched Sophie's performance quietly, his voice calm and unhurried, "The meager salary S Corporation's offering you is hardly enough for a lady of your stature to splurge in a day. You should be thrilled I quit on your behalf."

Then, Odie paused before adding, "Besides, you seemed quite pleased just a moment ago."

Pleased, she was, of course.

The resignation letter Odie had willingly provided was a golden ticket for Tricia. With her skills, she could trace it back to Odie. With her testimony and the evidence in Tricia's hands, they could charge Odie with unlawful detention at any time.

Sophie had thought Odie was a tough character, but it turned out he was not only ignorant of the law but also blatantly disregarded it.

Sophie chuckled to herself. It seemed getting close to Odie wouldn't be so difficult after all. Perhaps she could even gather some useful information about Devonport from him, including the truth behind the car accident that involved both her and Colby's parents.

After getting out of the car, Booker escorted Sophie and Odie to a luxurious hotel. Before leaving, Booker glanced at Sophie to ensure both she and Odie had returned to their rooms. Then he turned to the bodyguards and said, "Keep an eye on this place. Don't let a fly get away!"

"Yes!"

Booker walked into the hotel lobby and immediately called Ricardo.

At that moment, Ricardo was at a celebratory dinner at Devonport, having successfully collaborated with major merchants to stand against S Corporation. Seeing Booker's call, he stepped out to the corridor to

answer.

"Odie's there?"

"Mr. Ricardo, Ms. Sophie is with him."

"Oh?"

A flicker of doubt crossed Ricardo's eyes.

The news of Sophie's disappearance had been all over the internet these past few days, and there had been no follow-up since Sophie's clarification post. How come all of a sudden, she was spotted with Odie?

"That's good news. Keep an eye on them. Find an excuse to keep Odie and Sophie in Duskhaven."

"But Mr. Odie is planning to leave tomorrow. We..."

"Tell the airline to release false information and keep Odie and Sophie in Duskhaven for a few more days."

Ricardo sneered, continuing, "S

Corporation and that bastard Julian are done for. With Sophie at Odie's

side, Colby and James won't have time to care about anything else. I tocare

want Sophie to see firsthand what happens when she crosses me!"

"Yes, Mr. Ricardo!"

Ricardo quickly ended the call, and then he went on to leak the information about Sophie being in Duskhaven to Colby and James.

As long as Colby and James were away from Devonport, he would reign supreme here!

The next morning, Sophie was

having breakfast in the lobby, spreading jam on her toast, when Booker approached and said, "Mr. Odie, Ms Sophie, today's flight has been canceled due to a technical issue with the plane. Mr. Ricardo apologizes for the inconvenience and invites you both to stay in Duskhaven for two more days. In two days, we'll arrange a private jet to take you back to Summerfield."

Sophie saw right through Booker's lie. "Is it really because of a technical issue, or is it because Ricardo doesn't want me to leave?"

Booker chuckled, "Ms. Sophie jests. Why would Mr. Ricardo not want you both to leave?"

Sophie snorted in disbelief.
