Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 689

Sophie felt a sense of foreboding, yet she found herself sitting across from Odie, guided by Polly's insistence.

Just like their last encounter, Odie was as arrogantly untouchable as ever, clad in a deep navy suit. A chest pin bearing the Minton International crest adorned his chest, and he moved with the air of a spoiled rich young man.

Resting his chin on his hand, Odie watched Sophie with interest and asked, "Should I address you as Ms. Sophie or Mrs. Costello?"

When Sophie remained silent, Odie arched an eyebrow and said, "Colby's acting skills are impressive. I really thought he was going to shoot you that day. If I had known there was something between you two, the evening would have ended differently."

"Did you bring me here just to tell me this nonsense?" Sophie retorted coldly.

Taking action at the engagement party was bold indeed.

Just last night, over a hundred business tycoons were invited to her engagement party. The Costello family's elite bodyguards and patrolling officers were all around the hotel. Yet, Odie managed to infiltrate, kidnap her, and escape unscathed.

Such a man was truly terrifying.

Odie's lips curved into a slight smile as he signaled Polly with a glance. Polly stepped forward and lifted the cover off the dish in front of Sophie.

Beneath the cover was a hand that had been soaked until swollen, emitting a putrid, salty smell that instantly assaulted Sophie's nostrils. She stood up instinctively, but in the next second, a strong force pressed down on her shoulder, forcing her back into the chair.

Jonah stood right behind Sophie, unnoticed by her until that moment.

"Don't be afraid. This is an old acquaintance of yours." Odie's voice was filled with mirth as he said, had someone retrieve Gattlin's body from the sea. Look, isn't this the hand that touched you?" Content

Staring at the nauseating severed hand before her, Sophie felt her stomach churn, her already pale face turning even grayer. "Why are you showing me this?"

"Hasn't anyone told you that those who cross me meet a dreadful end?"

Watching Sophie struggle to suppress her inner fear, Odie slowly stood, walked behind her, and whispered in her ear, "Of course, those who deceive me end up even worse." Sophie glanced at Polly subconsciously, but Polly just lowered her head, avoiding Sophie's gaze.

"Mr. Odie, you must be joking. Who would dare deceive you?"

Sophie pushed down the unease in her heart, betting even now that Odie wouldn't dare harm her even in Summerfield.

Odie felt Sophie's body trembling slightly, the amusement in his eyes deepening. "Isn't there a little liar sitting right here?"

"Odie..."

"Shh." Odie silenced her with a

gesture, standing up to delight in the

terror in Sophie's eyes. Quickly, he

spoke, "You must be wondering

по

about the situation in Devonport by now if you beg me, I might consider telling you."

Sophie clenched her fists.

She had been missing in Devonport for a whole night. Her engagement party last night was such an

important event covered by all major media Odie's timing in kidnapping. her was planned to have Colby preoccupied with searching for her.
