Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 627

"Jerk!"

Sophie cursed angrily, but surprisingly, Odie didn't show a hint of anger.

"Ms. Sophie, you... why did you come back?"

The surprise was even more evident on the face of the bodyguard standing by Odie's side. Anyone would think that now was the best chance for her to run away!

"I came back, of course. I had to come back! Odie, you really are a jerk, letting your people kill me! What did I do wrong?"

As she spoke, Sophie reached for the handgun that Odie always kept at his waist. She pretended to be furious and said, "I'm right here in front of you. If you want to kill me, do it now, in my face, openly!" While saying this, Sophie was closely observing Odie's expressions. She was confident that Odie wasn't the one who wanted her dead.

While fleeing to the car earlier, she had been contemplating whether to just run away, but she quickly dismissed the thought. She wasn't familiar with Duskhaven, and Ricardo's influence was vast. If he wanted to find her, there were a thousand and one ways to do so.

Moreover, penniless as she was, the chances of a successful escape were greatly diminished. If caught, she would directly lose Odie's trust.

Odie hated those who betrayed him, and her fate might not be much better than Gattlin, who was thrown into the sea.

Rather than running away, it was better to come back willingly and win Odie's trust.

But to come up with a plausible reason for abandoning the chance to escape and returning, she had to lie-a lie that made sense but could be refuted by Odie.

As expected, Odie really believed she had misunderstood him.

He sneered and said, "If I wanted to kill you, would I have someone drag you into the sea to drown? Sophie, don't you ever think?"

Sophie feigned ignorance and said, "But those two men were your subordinates!"

"Not everything my subordinates do is by my order."

Seeing this, Sophie achieved her goal and

said, "Alright, since it

your people who wanted to kill set

you should give me an explanation."

"I've already had those two fed to the fishes in the sea. Do you have any other requests?"

Hearing this left Sophie momentarily speechless. Human life seemed so worthless to Odie.

This was supposed to be a society governed by law. Odie even flagrantly disregard the law in Duskhaven. "What? No more requests?"

"Of course do have one." Sophie

frowned and said, "Those two probably wanted to kill me because they were bribed. I want to know who's behind this, who wants me dead."

"That's all?"

"That's all."

After hearing this, Odie suddenly smiled. Sophie frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"I thought you'd ask me to kill the person behind this."

"I have my ways to deal with them. Mr. Odie, you don't need to bother."

"Oh." Odie lazily started walking towards the elevator leading to

underground garage, say et

tired. I'm going to sleep." S

Watching Odie's indifferent demeanor, Sophie doubted whether he would actually find the mastermind.

The bodyguard couldn't help but interject, "Ms. Sophie, Mr. Odie was actually very worried about you just now."

Sophie dismissively said, "He's not worried about me."

What Odie always cared about was the secret within the Russell family's ancestral hall.
