Chapter 616
Polly spoke with a hint of worry, "Then, Ms. Sophie, what will you do?"
"Don't worry, Odie won't do anything to me in the short term, but you must make sure this phone gets into their hands."
"Okay!"
Soon, Polly escorted Sophie to the deck. The maids gradually disembarked, and Polly took one last look at Sophie. Only after seeing Sophie give her a reassuring glance did she leave with peace of mind.
A group of men in black suits and sunglasses had been waiting at the dock. Upon Odie's arrival, they all stepped forward to greet him in unison.
One of the men stepped forward and said, "Mr. Odie, Mr. Ricardo has instructed me to give you a warm welcome."
"Hmm." Odie responded indifferently.
Hearing this voice, Sophie was momentarily taken aback. Wasn't this Booker, who was always by Odie's side?
Looking around, she noticed the Cloude family crest on all the men in black suits.
It seemed the relationship between Ricardo and Odie was more profound than she thought.
Quickly, Booker's glance swept over to Sophie. He was visibly surprised when he saw Sophie, probably not expecting her to be by Odie's side.
"This is... isn't this Ms. Sophie? How come you and Ms. Sophie are together, Mr. Odie..."
"Don't ask what you shouldn't," Odie cut Booker off sharply, making him quickly bow his head and say, "My apologies, I was overstepping. I'll take you both to the rest area Mr. Ricardo has arranged."
"Hmm."
Odie seemed too indifferent to bother with Booker, while Sophie followed behind Odie. It was her first time in Duskhaven, but shouldn't they be heading straight to Summerfield?
Sophie had her doubts but didn't voice them at the moment.
On the car ride, Odie said lazily, "If you want to ask something, just ask."
"Where are we going now?"
"You know very well that we are in Duskhaven."
"What are you doing in Duskhaven?"
Ricardo was currently in Devonport, focusing on dealing with S Corporation and Julian. He couldn't afford to pay attention to Duskhaven. Surely Odie wasn't here just for leisure?
Moreover, wasn't Odie after the so-called treasure of Devonport? Yet, he had aborted that plan just like that. What was he really thinking? Odie raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm tired. We're here to rest for the night, and we'll fly to Summerfield first thing in the morning." Hearing they were flying to Summerfield made Sophie's heart sink.
"Odie, not that I didn't warn you, but although my family has gone
bankrupt, I am still a high-ranking official of S Corporation. If I go
missing, my boss will definitely lookProperty belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
for me."
"I've already had someone submit your resignation to your secretary on your behalf. Starting today, you're no longer a high-ranking official of S Corporation." Hearing this, Sophie suddenly turned to look at Odie.
She had never revealed to anyone that she was the true owner of S Corporation, and Odie was likely unaware of this fact.
Fortunately, Sophie had Tricia by her
side for so long. Tricia would
immediately recognize the
authenticity of the resignation letter.
In a way, Odie had helped her send a
message.
Odie, sitting beside her, didn't miss the fleeting, peculiar gleam in Sophie's eyes. He frowned and asked, "Why do you seem pleased?"
Sophie noted Odie's suspicion,
immediately pretended to be indignantly angry, "Odie, S
Corporation was my last refuge net
How dare you resign on my behalf without so much as a word? You've gone too far!"
