Thinking of the contraceptives from earlier in the day, Sophie forced a smile and said, "Mr. Odie, I''m actually not that hungry."


    "I know, the food at the hotel yesterday wasn''t to your liking."


    "No, no, no, I''m really not hungry." Sophie looked for an excuse to leave, her heart urging Colby to arrive quickly.


    However, Odie had already begun eating, casually stating as if making small talk, "Jonah told me you contacted someone from S Corporation today."


    "It was an old colleague. I was on paid leave for a TV show recording, and they were going to pay me thirty thousand dors. When you submitted my resignation, Mr. Odie, I wanted to ask about it, considering high-paying jobs like that aren''t easy to find these days."


    As she spoke, Sophie instinctively picked up her fork, intending to use the action to cover up her unease. But then, remembering that Odie might have tampered with the food, she put the fork down again. Odie noticed Sophie''s action and chuckled, "What? Afraid I''ve poisoned it?"


    "...No."


    "I had Jonah check all your bank ounts and found you have a debt of seven million dors, and the rest of your ounts don''t even total ten thousand dors. Ms. Sophie, you''ve lived quite modestly before."


    Odie''s words held a deeper meaning.


    Sophie had guessed that Odie would investigate her bank ounts but didn''t expect him to do so thoroughly.


    Initially, to avoid raising James'' suspicions, she transferred all her assets away, some to Reece, some to Colby, and some to Jenna.


    As for that seven million dor debt, it was a show put on for James. After all, she couldn''t let James know she was the real owner behind S Corporation. Perry owed so much money, and she had to leave some gaps in the ounts to prevent James from investigating privately.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    "You know, I used to be a rich girl, used to a life without financial worries, spending freely. The money burns a hole in my pocket, and my sry isn''t enough for my expenses. I really need that thirty thousand dors. Otherwise, I wouldn''t risk calling S Corporation. Right, Mr. Odie?"


    Sophie spoke sincerely, and Odie nodded, "Makes sense."


    Sophie smiled awkwardly.


    Odie then said, "I can offer you a chance to get rich. Would you like to try?"


    Odie''s words were roundabout, and Sophie, unable to grasp his intentions, tentatively asked, "What kind of opportunity?"


    "You know, gambling is legal in

    Summerfield. With your beauty, you could definitely be the most beautiful croupier at my Summerfield casino."


    "Croupier... I''ve never done that before."


    "It''s just about winning money. I''ll give you a ten percentmission. I believe with your smart brain, you could make ten million in a month." "That sounds... quite tempting."


    Sophie remembered the Minton family''s casino was formidable, where ordinary people barely had ess. A visit could lead to a family''s ruin, plunging them into debt.


    To pay off these debts, they would have to bring in more friends and rtive to gamble, falling into the


    Minton family''s high-interestdoans even deeper.


    Thispounding interest made the Minton family''s one-stop service roll in more and more money like a snowball.


    If she could really get into the Minton family''s casino, maybe she could uncover more secrets about the Minton family.


    "Jonah."


    "Sir."


    "The medicine?"


    Sophie immediately looked up to see Jonah cing a box of pills in Odie''s hand.
