Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 1244



Originally, according to her and Colby's plan, even if the opposition wanted to reclaim control of the Mintons and find someone new, there should have been a proper process to follow. At the very least, the new CEO would have been announced first.

But unexpectedly, this time the CEO of the Mintons was appointed out of nowhere, and within a single day, a new CEO was elected without following the usual procedures. No one came to take the shares from Odie either. It was all too strange. Although they had already guessed that the Mintons had hidden assets, with someone behind the scenes holding the largest share of these hidden benefits, Sophie still had many unanswered questions. As the CEO of the Mintons, Odie should have known about these things.

Odie said nonchalantly, "When I was first sent to the Mintons as an adopted son to that old man, I was always catching up on financial knowledge. Colby and I are different; Colby was a nobleman experiencing life in the slums, the knowledge he had, I lacked. So, I had to work even harder. In the beginning, I wasn't the only candidate for the heir apparent; I was just moved from overseas to make up the numbers. If the White family wanted to be connected to the Mintons, they could only send their trusted people. At that time, it was me, Colby, and Griffin. Griffin was unwilling to go and withdrew voluntarily. I was also reluctant because Mr. Elwood was already on his last legs, and I thought if I could endure a few more years, I might be able to become the heir to the White family. That seemed better than struggling to survive in a cutthroat place like Summerfield."

"What happened then?"

"Then, I was tricked by Colby into

going to Summerfield," Odie continued. "There were many elites sent there, some of them were wealthy heirs, some were prodigies in finance. In terms of knowledge, I couldn't compete with them, but in terms of ruthlessness, they were no match for me. Luckily, Jensen liked my ruthlessness, and that allowed me to smoothly become the heir to the Mintons. It was when I became the heir that I saw someone entering the old man's study."

"Who was it?"

"I couldn't see clearly," said Odie. "Anyone Jensen met with was no ordinary person. At the time, I didn't care at all, just hoping Jensen would die soon so that the Mintons would

inte

fall into my hands. It was that very night, Jensen died. And I naturally became the new ruler of the Mintons."

"You mean... the person you saw that night killed Jensen?"

"Maybe," Odie said. "The old man died of a heart attack. At that time, I only wanted to be the ruler of the Mintons, so didn't order an investigation. Later, when I took over the Mintons' previous dealings, found that a place like Summerfield was filthy. To survive, one had to be dirtier and more ruthless than those people. Otherwise, a newcomer like me might have been devoured to the point where not even bones

remained."

Odie looked at Sophie and said, "Have you ever heard of a beast's instinct? I haven't ruled out the possibility that there might be someone else behind the Mintons, but my instinct told me not to investigate. Sometimes, turning a blind eye is better than losing your life."
