Polly was shaking with emotion, her face pale and full of pain. "Just to keep me as some backup, a pawn that might be useful in the future, Odie has hurt so many people! Do you know what? Summerfield is a city of sin, where human life means nothing, and there''s no such thing as fairness! Those who team up with Minton International keep getting more powerful, while the poor stay poor, and the rich just get richer! This city is rotten to the core!"
Hearing this, Sophie was taken aback; she hadn''t realized how chaotic Summerfield had be.
If Odie were to establish his den of sin, how many more would suffer in Summerfield?
Hesitantly, Sophie asked, "Polly, are you staying here to get back at Odie?"
"Revenge?" Pollyughed. "Ms. Sophie, what do you think this ce is? This is Summerfield, and Odie is its king. How could someone like me possibly get back at Odie? I''m staying here because I''ve epted my fate. I''m willing to stay, as long as I''m alive."
Wiping the tears from her face, Polly took a step back and said, "Ms. Sophie, I''ve told you everything I know. I''m telling you this to advise you not to make unnecessary sacrifices. Whatever you n to do, in the end, you can''t beat them."
"Polly..."
"Ms. Soph
"Ms. Sophie, I''ve said enough for today. I''ll be leaving now."
Polly turned and left the room.
Sophie remained silent, walking over to the window to look out at the city''s center.
How had Summerfield''s prosperity been achieved?
Was it through the exploitation of the poor by the rich?
Like Perry, who had lost all his family fortune overnight?
Sophie dared not continue her thoughts and rubbed her temples.
She had thought thating to Summerfield would allow her to bring down Minton International once and for all. Yet, it now seemed that Minton International''s influence was deeply entangled, pulling one string would move the whole web. Those allied with Minton International would never let it fall.
Unless... she could uncover the secrets of those within the Minton Casino.
Sophie thought hard.
The cameras and listening devices in the rooms of the Minton Casino...
There had to be a USB drive storing these secrets.
Where could it be?Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
In Odie''s study, perhaps?
With this thought, Sophie quickly left her room.
The maid at the door had already been dismissed by Polly, and Sophie hurried to Odie''s study. Just as she reached the door, Jonah stopped her.
"Ms. Sophie, Mr. Odie is working inside. No one else is allowed in.
I''m Odie''s business partner, does that count as no one else?"
Just as Jonah was about to retort, Odie''s voice suddenly came from inside, "Let her in."
Hearing Odie''s permission, Jonah stepped aside to let Sophie enter.
Sophie pushed open the door and saw Odie sitting in front of the mputer, which was ying some strange sounds.
Seemingly aware of the inappropriate noisesing from theputer, adie quickly shut it down

He asked, "Why aren''t you resting? What do you want from me?"
Sophie got straight to the point, "I
want to ask about the situation on the third floor of Minton
