Upon hearing that, Odie paused mid-bite into his apple. Pointing at himself, he asked, "You want me to cover her bill? Do I look like her husband? She''s got the wrong guy!"
Jonah replied, "No mistake here. Sophie sent a message saying that device is a piece of junk-it just heats up and does nothing else. She feels duped and is just thankful she didn''t report it to the authorities." Meanwhile, over at Burke Estate, Jenna scrutinized Sophie''s face, looking from side to side. "I don''t see any difference. Is this what tens of thousands of dors in treatments gets you?"
"It''s all about the brand with the Mintons."
The Minton family''s enterprise in Summerfield was notorious for shady dealings. Who''d trust them to develop beauty products?
Wouldn''t you be scared to use them?
Thatpany exists solely to scam the gullible.
They rely on famous celebrities and high-end advertising, but their beauty products are practically useless.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.
Jenna clicked her tongue. "If it were me, I''d have trashed their store."
"Why didn''t you guys invite me for the cosmetic treatment?" Sandy descended the stairs. She''d been bored out of her mind these past few days. Aside from asionally going out for meals and drinks with Jenna, she had no entertainment.
Sophie had indeed forgotten about Sandy, the heiress. She nced upstairs and asked, "Ms. Sandy, has Mr. Pei been refusing to eat or drink these past few days?"
"Yeah, my brother says it''s like being under house arrest! He said he''d rather starve himself than stay here."
"That''s quite dramatic," Sophie remarked, shaking her head slightly. She then turned to a maid and instructed, "Could you please take two chocte doughnuts up to Mr. Pei? He loves those." "Yes, Mrs. Costello."
Sandy was stunned.
What?
How did Sophie know her brother liked chocte doughnuts?
That was so weird!
Jenna added, "Although he hasn''t touched a bite of the meals brought to his door, he hasn''t missed out on any secret snacks. Everything missing from the kitchen has been noted. Let''s.see," she said, scrolling through her phone, "a roast chicken leg, a roast chicken wing, a roast chicken breast, eight chocte doughnuts missing from the freezer, the oven used four times and six bags of chips gone from the snack cupboard. The surveince shows the delivery guys cing the food by the iron fence in the backyard. Three times in total: once with delicious fried chicken, once with a KFC Family Bucket, and another time with crispy chicken and a box of rice."
Listening to all this made Sophie remark, "It seems Mr. Pei truly loves chicken, eating it three times a day, every meal with chicken."

Sandy''s face turned red with embarrassment.
She couldn''t believe her brother would sneak around eating without even inviting her!
"Hmph!"
Annoyed, Sandy stomped her foot and turned to go upstairs to confront Angelo for an exnation.
Downstairs, Sophie shook her head at themotioning from above.
Jenna said, "Do you think it''s really the Pord family from overseas? It doesn''t seem like it."
After hearing Angelo''s wails from
upstairs, she added, "One clueless and the other always grumpy. If were the Pord family, I wouldn''t send these two on any secret mission."
