"I... I..." Vanessa stammered, struggling to find the right words.


    Odie jumped in, "Ms. Vanessa wants to make peace with Mrs. Costello, which is why she invited her over. Isn''t that right, Ms. Vanessa?"


    "


    ''...Yes, that''s what I mean," Vanessa replied with an awkward smile.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    Sandy frowned and said, "Vanessa, you''re too nice. Why would you want to reconcile with someone like her? If you really want Colby, my dad can help you win him back!" Sophie, overhearing Sandy''s rant, couldn''t help but chuckle.


    Sandy shot Sophie a re, "What''s so funny?"


    "Nothing, really. I just find it impressive that your dad is so powerful he can even snatch someone''s husband. Seems like there''s nothing he can''t do overseas."


    "Of course!" Sandy responded proudly, but then she realized, "Wait, are you mocking me?"


    "Not at all. I''m beingpletely sincere," Sophie replied, looking earnest. Sandy was fuming, "This woman is insufferable! Odie! I want her out! Kick her out!" Odie''s lips curled slightly, showing no sign of sending Sophie away.


    "Odie, are you deaf? Didn''t you hear what I said?" Sandy demanded, ring at him.


    Vanessa quickly grabbed Sandy''s hand, "Sandy, please, don''t be like this. I invited Ms. Sophie as a guest, and Mr. Odie is just helping me..."


    "But she..." Sandy pointed at Sophie, seething with anger. This woman was so annoying!


    "Alright, alright, this ce is big enough. Out of sight, out of mind. In a few days, Mr. Odie will see her off."


    Vanessa was worried Sandy might


    actually kick Sophie out. If that happened and Sophie returned to


    Colby''s side, all her efforts would be wasted.


    "Fine, let her stay. Just keep her out of my sight," Sandy relented. Vanessa sighed in relief.


    "Jonah, take Mrs. Costello upstairs," Odie instructed. "Make sure her room is far from Sandy''s. Sandy doesn''t want to see her."


    "Yes, Mr. Odie." Jonah turned to Sophie, "Mrs. Costello, this way, please."


    Sophie raised an eyebrow at Odie, "I didn''t expect you to be so henpecked. Looks like your married life with Sandy will be very harmonious."


    Sophie''s unreserved sarcasm made Odie''s smile fade. "Jonah, what are you waiting for? Take hwe upstairs." "Yes, sir."


    Sophie had only meant to tease Odie and didn''t really want to make him angry. As his smile disappeared, she quickly went upstairs to avoid any bacsh from Odie.


    Feeling suffocated and annoyed by Sophie''sment, Odie said indifferently, "I have things to do. I''ll go up as well."


    "Odie! What do you mean? What


    about the shopping mall I wanted to


    visit? Who''s going to clear out all


    those random people for me? Sandy called out. én.swnovels
