Polly bit her lip and said, "But I know, Odie left me behind as a backup for Leticia. If anything happened to her, I''d pop up as Daniel''s illegitimate daughter to the Summerfield elite, stepping into Leticia''s shoes..."


    She nced at Sophie and continued, "Those CEOS who had flings with Leticia weren''t just drawn to her looks. They were more taken by her status as the Gibbs family heiress and Odie''s fiancée. Just think about it, to the public, the Gibbs and Minton families look down on them, but behind closed doors, they could brag about being with the Gibbs heiress, Odie''s bride-to-be... It fed their egos like nothing else." Polly hesitated a moment before adding, "My original n was to rece Leticia and somehow gather evidence of the Mintons'' crimes from those men... But who knew, Odie decided not to let me take Leticia''s ce. Instead, he just abandoned the Gibbs family!"


    Sophie chimed in, "He didn''t let you take Leticia''s ce because he probably already nned to team up with the Pord family. It''s just bad luck on your part."


    "I''ve endured so much with the Minton family, and in the end, I got nothing... Ms. Sophie, I know you''re more capable than I am. This time, it''s my fault, but I did it all to win Odie''s trust and survive within the Minton family..."


    Polly''s eyes welled up. "I hope you can believe in me, give me another chance. I''m willing to follow your lead, do whatever you ask, as long as it ends with my revenge!"


    "Can I trust you again?" Sophie''s question caught Polly off guard.


    Polly earnestly replied, "As long as you are willing to trust me, I''m ready to do anything."


    "Alright, if you want me to believe you, find your way back to Odie. What you say or do doesn''t concern me. If Odie keeps you around without any doubts, then I''ll believe you." Hearing this, Polly looked bewildered.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    "What? Can''t do it?" Sophie continued, "You know how cautious Odie is. If he doesn''t trust you, what''s the point of my trust? You''d still end up being a liability to him. So this time, I''m not getting involved. Your fate is in your own hands."
