Chapter 606
"Odie's phone."
When Gordon uttered those words, Adler had an epiphany. "Holy cow! Ms. Sophie actually used Odie's phone to post a status update! And she customized the phone model, too?"
How did Odie not notice at all?
Gordon explained, "Odie isn't much into gadgets, so he probably doesn't know much about these little features. It must have been Sophie who changed it while Odie wasn't paying attention, just to let us know she was using Odie's phone."
Adler pondered for a moment and said, "Odie's phone... Nowadays, even if you're not into electronics, you can't live without them. Work and life depend on them. Maybe this phone holds some of Odie's secrets. Or, if we can prove this phone belongs to Odie, it would confirm that Odie kidnapped Sophie. She is really clever."
He had never realized how smart Sophie was before.
Gordon said, "Alright, everyone's been tired these past few days. Let's pack up and catch the earliest flight back."
"No problem!"
The next morning, Bea took out some of her valuable jewelry. Marian had just arrived at Bea's bedroom door when she saw this scene and quickly approached with a smile, saying, "Madam, these are your favorite pieces of jewelry. Are you going out today?"Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
"Take these to a pawnshop. I've calculated they're worth at least thirty million."
"But... These are your favorites!"
"I have something important to do. Hurry and pawn these items. I'll need them by the afternoon."
Marian didn't dare to ask more and simply complied.
As Marian was about to leave, Bea stopped her, saying, "Oh, pawn them at a shop affiliated with S Corporation."
"Ah?"
Marian was confused.
Bea usually disliked S Corporation the most. Why would she think of pawning her jewelry at one of their shops?
"A small pawnshop won't be able to offer so much cash. I've heard they give better prices there. Besides, the wealthy ladies in my circle have seen these jewelry pieces. It would be too conspicuous if pawned at a Burke International affiliate, outsiders saw them there, they might think our company is out of money."
"Yes, Madam."
"Alright, go handle it."
Bea sighed as she looked at the nearly empty jewelry cabinet. If these could end Sophie's life, she was willing to spend the money. Besides, once Sophie was gone, she could get her billion back! She wouldn't be at a loss.

Polly patted Sophie's back with concern, saying, "Ms. Sophie, the doctor said you haven't fully
recovered yet. You're also season et
now. Maybe you should ask the doctor for some anti-seasickness medication."
Sophie waved her hand, saying, "It's okay..."
She was about to throw up from all the medication she had taken these past few days. She didn't want to see another pill or capsule.
Polly said worriedly, "But you look so pale..."
"I won't die. Anyway, we'll be back in two days."
Just then, a deep and resonant voice called out from not far away: "Who said we'll be back in two days?"
