Was Odie nning to keep her locked up forever if Colby didn''t show up?


    With that thought, Sophie immediately started pounding on the cer door. "Open up! Let me out! I have something to say to Odie!"


    "Ms. Sophie, don''t waste your energy. No one can open the door for you without the boss'' order."


    Sophie frowned and asked, "So, it doesn''t matter if I die in here?"


    "As long as he hasn''t given the order, Ms. Sophie, I can''t open the door. It doesn''t matter if you were to die."


    Hearing Polly''s words, Sophie instantly stopped knocking.


    Would Polly only wait for Odie''s order? What would make Odie let her out?


    Sophie nced at the neatly arranged bottles of red wine in the cer, a scheming light shing in her eyes.


    An idea struck her.


    It was already evening, and Polly outside the cer was growing suspicious due to theck of any noise from within.


    Ten hours had passed, and there was still no sound.


    Upstairs in the study, Odie was ying chess alone when Jonah came in with dinner, saying, "Colby''s people vanished after entering Summerfield. Our men have been searching but haven''t found where they''re staying yet. Perhaps someone is working with them from the inside."


    Odie nced at the dinner Jonah brought in and asked, "What about the woman?"


    "She''s still locked in the cer."


    "No crying or fussing?"


    "Nothing at all."


    "Did you send lunch and dinner?"


    "We followed your orders, sir. We didn''t even send water."


    Ten hours without food, and still no crying or fussing?


    Odie''s thoughts were in disarray, and he misced a chess piece.


    Just then, Polly burst into the room, panicking. "Mr. Odie! There''s trouble! The cer... something''s happened in the cer!"


    Odie immediately stood up from his chair.


    The maids on the first floor hurried toward the basement cer, each carrying buckets and water pumps. When Odie arrived, he found the cer''s exterior already flooded to the ankles with red wine.


    The cer door hadn''t been opened yet, but so much wine had already flowed through the cracks. What did it look like inside?


    A bad premonition surged in Odie''s heart, and hemanded with a dark expression, "Open the door!"


    "Yes, boss!"

    A massive flood scattered everyone, and the wine from the cer nearly reached the first floor.


    Odie quickly stepped into the cer, followed by Jonah yelling, "Sir! It''s dangerous!"


    The wine inside was already a meter high, and even though it had spread, it reached Odie''s waist. Nearly all the wine bottles in the cer had been tipped over and emptied.


    "Sophie!"


    Odie called out with a dark face, "Come out here now!"


    "Cough, cough!"


    Not far away, Sophie emerged from the wine. Her white nightgown was now dyed red, and she was soaked through. Despite Sophie''s bedraggled state, she still carried a victor''s posture, which made Odie burst intoughter.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    At that moment, Jonah also burst in. Odie, with a dark face, ordered him, "Take her and bring her to my room!"
