Odie's eyes narrowed dangerously at Sophie. "It's "Mr. Odie, you're not being very straightforward," Sophic suid. "I chere in good faith to work with you, but you've been playing your crafty little games." Odie's voice was cold. "What exactly do you want?" "For years, Minton International has driven my Uncle Perry into massive debt, bleeding my family, dry. And now, you've got your sights set on me. No wonder you were always so vague when I asked you questions before. Turns out you're after the legendary Devonport treasure." Although Perry had admitted to arranging her parents' deaths, Sophie and Colby had discovered that the car's engine had been tampered with. Besides Perry's plot, another group had wanted her parents dead! Sophie had been uncertain and could only cautiously feel Odie out, step by step. But from Odie and Jonah's recent conversation, she guessed that the Mintons was involved in her parents' deaths.
Odie dropped the pretense. He said nonchalantly, "You should be grateful you still have value to us. Otherwise, just based on Colby's neglect, we would have discarded you like a pawn. You should know what happens to pawns." Sophie understood all too well. In her past life, she was always the discarded pawn. This time, she would not lose her value.
Sophie sat directly across from Odie, catching him off guard. Jonah, fearing for Odie's safety, instinctively stepped forward. Sophie got straight to the point, "Actually, Mr. Odie, you should have been upfront withfrom the start. We could have had a real discussion." "Discuss? What do you want to discuss?" Odie asked, clearly surprised by her reaction.

I refuse to let the Russell family empire, built over generations, crumble in my hands. Mr. Odie, you mentioned the Devonport treasure, and I know a bit about it. I propose we collaborate one more time. Are you interested?" "Oh? How do you propose we collaborate?" "I help you get the Devonport treasure, and in return, you helprebuild Russell Enterprises, so my family can rise again."
"Is that all?" The content is on m novelenglish.nett
"That's all," Sophie said. Fearing Odie's rejection, she continued, "Perry is in jail, I have no family left, Colby has abandoned me, and James has moved on. can't live off a meager salary for the rest of my life. You helprebuild Russell Enterprises, and letcontinue as the daughter of the Russell family. In the future, our families will naturally continue to collaborate closely, sharing both success and failure."
Sophie's words were so compelling that even Jonah seemed somewhat el persuaded.
