Sandy was upset, and Vanessa wasn''t in the mood to cheer her up. "Sandy, I''m feeling a bit off too. I''m heading upstairs," she said.


    Sandy felt a bit confused. "What''s with everyone today?"


    Up on the second floor, Jonah pushed open the door to the guest room. All the windows were nailed shut, and even the door lock had been removed.


    Sophie turned to Odie, who was standing behind her. "Odie, what''s the meaning of this?" she asked.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    "You''re the head of S Corporation, always keeping a low profile. Thest time you revealed your identity, it really shocked me. I was afraid one day you might jump out of a window without me knowing." Sophie walked over to the window, looked at the tightly nailed steel te, and suddenlyughed.


    Odie frowned. "What''s so funny?"


    "I find you quite clever at times, and at other times..." She turned to meet Odie''s scrutinizing gaze and said seriously, "Absolutely brilliant."


    Therge steel te nailed over the window would be easily visible from downstairs. Colby would immediately guess which room she was confined in. Perfect, it would make escaping easierter on. Odie stared at Sophie for a while. Sensing his gaze fixed on her, Sophie stepped forward, extending her hands. "Mr. Odie, are you going to handcuff me?" she asked.


    Hearing this, Odie''s brows furrowed even deeper. "Aren''t you afraid?"


    "Not at all. Since leaving the Minton family, life''s been unbearable anyway. I might as well stay by your side. Maybe, when you see me in pain, you might even spare me some poison to ease it."


    Odie''s face darkened at Sophie''s sincere expression. He had previously ordered Jonah to withdraw all the new drugs, receiving pleas from many regr clients, but Sophie remained silent. After several days, he couldn''t resist showing up at her door.


    However, Sophie showed no intention of pleading, making him feel like he was the one eager to please her.


    "Jonah!"


    "Yes, Mr. Odie."


    "Lock her up. Don''t let her out without mymand!"


    "Understood."


    Jonah left, closing the guest room door heavily behind him. Sophie couldn''t help butugh at the removed door handle.


    It seemed Odie had prepared this luxurious prison for her in advance. With a bed, a TV, a bathroom, and a bathtub, this guest room was at least fifty square meters.


    Was she taken as a hostage? Those who didn''t know might think she was here on vacation. No matter. She''d treat it as a chance to freeload.


    Sophiey down on the soft bed,


    thinking of Colby who had been waiting outside the Minton family''s door She felt secure and soon fell


    int


    a deep sleep.


    In the evening, Odie was in his study, looking at the newspaper. Jonah entered the study, saying, "Boss she''s still in the room, not making a sound."


    "She isn''t saying anything?"


    Jonah nodded affirmatively. "Not a word."


    "Not pleading? Not making any requests?"


    Jonah shook his head.


    Odie suddenly lost all desire to work. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Do you think she''s doing it on purpose?" "Doing it on purpose?"


    "She let herself be taken by me intentionally, actually wanting to find something out from me?"
