Chapter 884
As Odie was about to count down to one, a sudden flurry of footsteps echoed from outside the banquet hall.
Odie frowned slightly, while Jonah immediately darted up to the second floor, shouting, "Boss! The Pollards have shown up out of nowhere!"
"What did you say?"
Odie was visibly taken aback by the unexpected arrival of the Pollards. As guests began barging into the banquet hall, Odie quickly grabbed Sophie and thrust her into Jonah's arms, "Get her out of here!"
"Got it."
Clutching Sophie, Jonah hurried toward the corridor beside the second floor.
"My shoe!"
Sophie's shoe had accidentally slipped off next to a sofa on the second floor. Odie glanced at the shoe before kicking it under the sofa.
However, this meant that it was too late for the people on the first floor to make an escape.
When Caelum entered with Sandy, they were greeted by a scandalous scene.
Sandy, having never encountered such a situation, quickly covered her eyes in shock, "Ah—!"
Caelum's presence became even more imposing, "Kingston! Clear the place!"
"Right away!"
Kingston immediately led the Pollards' entourage to swiftly clear the venue.
The guests at the Mintons' dinner were all regular clients who had not expected Caelum to appear suddenly. Their mood spoiled, they pulled up their trousers and ran, while the women Odie had carefully selected scattered in fear.
As the crisis resolved, Colby quickly took the opportunity to slip out of the banquet hall.
Outside, Colby's men, sensing trouble, quickly came to assist.
"Sir, what happened inside?"
"Nothing serious, just keep an eye on the Mintons for me."
As Colby was about to remove his mask and get into the car, another bodyguard spoke up, "Sir, James was also inside!"
"When did this happen?"
"Right after you went in, James entered!"
Hearing this, Colby kicked the bodyguard, "Why are you only telling me now?"
"I..." The bodyguard pouted.
Colby glanced at the hotel now sealed off by the Pollards, then put his mask back on and vaulted over a nearby wall.
Inside the banquet hall, the lights had returned to normal.
Odie descended from the second floor, stating, "Caelum, what brings you here at this time? You should have sent someone to notify me in advance so I could arrange a welcoming party for you."
"Welcome me? To witness this spectacle?" Caelum angrily jabbed his cane into the ground.
Caelum had rarely been angry in recent years, indicating the severity of Odie's actions.
"This is merely a standard business practice. If you don't like it, I'll ensure such dinners are discontinued in the future."
Odie spoke as if it were a trivial

how can you be so vile and
with shame, quickly retorted, pět
despicable? And you call it a standard business practice! The
Pollards would never stoop to such
levels!"
"Different places have their own ways, and the Summerfields have always operated like this."
"You!"
Sandy's disdain for Odie grew with each passing moment. Now, she remembered her primary reason for coming, You brought Sophie to this kind of dinner, does that mean you and Sophie...? Where is she? Hand her over!"
"Sophie?" Odie feigned confusion, "Isn't she already sent her back?"
"You're lying! The maids at home told me it was you who brought Sophie to this dinner! And you've showered her with such expensive jewelry. You are clearly into her."
