As Sandy spun around, she caught sight of Sophie and Odie looking a bit too cozy for her liking.


    "Really, Odie? You just swore up and down at the Grandeur Hotel that Sophie wasn''t here. Now you''re parading her right in front of me? You''ve got some nerve!"


    Sandy, fuming, raised her hand to p Odie, but Jonah stepped in, grabbing her wrist firmly.


    Trapped and unable to move, Sandy gritted her teeth. "Let go! Let me go!"


    No matter how loudly Sandy protested, Jonah didn''t budge.


    Odie''s expression was cold and indifferent. He''d had enough of Sandy''s tantrumstely. Now that their engagement was off, and out of Caelum''s sight, he felt no need to tolerate her any longer. Watching Sandy struggle, Sophie was worried she herself might get caught in the crossfire. She tugged at Odie''s sleeve and whispered, "That''s enough, she''s the Pord family''s heiress, after all." "Scared now? You weren''t so timid when you were arguing with me."


    "That''s different. She''s unreasonable, but does that mean you have to be too?"


    Odie ignored Sophie and said to Jonah, "Jonah, let Ms. Sandy go. Don''t hurt her."


    Hearing this, Jonah finally released Sandy.


    Noticing Odie''s indifferent expression and the cold, distant look in his eyes, so different from his usual gentle demeanor, Sandy felt a sudden surge of fear considering everything that had happened at the Dragonvein Hotel.


    Too scared tosh out at Odie, she turned to her maid. "Is everything packed?"


    "Yes, miss, everything is ready."


    "Then what are we waiting for? Let''s go."


    Sandy, pulling Vanessa along, threw Sophie a re before leaving.


    Sophie smiled back at Sandy, but her smile faded when her eyes met Vanessa''s.


    Just as Sandy was about to leave, Polly hurried downstairs, immediately kneeling in front of Odie. "Bos''s! I''m so sorry! Please forgive me, boss! It''s all my fault!


    Please, punish me. I realize my mistake!"


    Polly''s crying and pleading caught Sandy''s attention, and even Sophie couldn''t help but take a second look.


    "It was my careless words that led to Ms. Sandy and your broken engagement, it''s all my fault..."


    Polly''s act of distress looked so genuine that even Sophie was impressed.


    Odie merely nced coldly at Polly kneeling on the floor, then turned to Sandy. "Ms. Sandy, is this true?"


    Sandy frowned. "So what if she told me? I forced it out of her! You''re not going to me a mere maid, are you?"


    "Of course not. If it was an unintentional mistake, then let it go."


    Odie signaled Jonah with a look, and Jonah ard to Polly, "Mr. Odie is generous and won''t hold this


    you &


    Get up." N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    "Thank you, boss! Thank you so much!"


    Polly stood up, timidly stepping aside.


    Even Sophie had to admit, the girl''s acting was top-notch.


    At that moment, Odie turned to Sophie, his tone probing. "The jewelry prepared for you, did you really forget to wear it, or did you intentionally leave it behind?" en.swhovels
