?Chapter 760


    "Ms. Sophie, follow me this way."


    Jonah led the way, but Sophie''s eyes were glued to James and Leticia. Leticia''s piano skills were top-notch, and James wasn''t far behind. They wereughing and chatting, their eyes locked in a maic pull.


    Everyone was enchanted by their piano duet.


    James was engaged to Nichole, so what was he doing flirting with Leticia?


    "Ms. Sophie, this is the dress Mr. Odie requested for you."


    Inside the hotel’s presidential suite on the second floor, Sophie nced at the dress in her hands and instantly got why Leticia had thrown that drink at her. Bathing, makeup, hairstyling, changing clothes—there was no way to get all that done in under two hours. And in two hours, the banquet would be nearly over.


    Clearly, Leticia wanted to keep her from being by Odie’s side as hispanion. If that happened, she wouldn’t have time to mingle with the entrepreneurs from the Summerfield and Minton International coboration.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Sophie rushed to the bathroom, wiped off her makeup, quickly cleaned herself, and wrapped up in a bathrobe.


    Jonah was surprised to see Sophie open the door in less than ten minutes, especially when she was only wearing a bathrobe. He immediately lowered his head and asked, "Ms. Sophie, any other instructions?"


    "I''m not wearing this dress. Please get me a tailored suit, something androgynous."


    "A suit?"


    "Yes, and fast. I need it in fifteen minutes."


    Jonah quickly ordered someone to get it. Sophie grabbed a makeup box from the makeup artist, who looked puzzled. Fifteen minutester, a maid brought the suit to her room.


    Momentster, Sophie stepped out of the room. The maid had prepared a ck, androgynous-style suit. Sophie donned a hat, looking like a dashing young man.


    "Ms. Sophie, you''re..."


    The piano music downstairs had already stopped. Sophie didn''t have time to exin to Jonah and quickly headed downstairs. With so many people around, no one noticed her dressed in men''s attire.


    Naturally, Leticia moved in to stand next to Odie, who was without a femalepanion.


    "Odie, I know I messed up today, but James just agreed to a long-term partnership with the Gibbs family. Can you forgive me?"


    Leticia humbled herself, seeking reconciliation. She had always been Odie''spanion at such events; Odie had never brought another woman to a dinner. She knew who to toast to, who would coborate with Minton International-she knew it all.


    At such banquets, only she could provide the best support for Odie.


    Odie looked at Leticia, who was trying to appear pitiful, like a kitten begging for forgiveness.


    "Do you know what I hate the most?"


    Odie''s hand pressed against Leticia''s injured forehead, making her inhale sharply from the pain, but she didn''t cry out.


    "What I hate most are women who act clever and fake in front of me."


    After saying this, Odie let go of Leticia, whose forehead was now slightly bleeding. Odie coldly said, "You think securing a long-term partnership with James would make me let you off? I''ve said it before, anyone who hurts my people will not get off lightly."


    "Odie, I''m one of your people too... How could you treat me this way?" Tears welled up in Leticia''s eyes. "Have you forgotten? I''ve been by your side for so many years. You promised me yourself that one day I would be the onlydy of the Minton family."
