"I''m sorry, but I don''t usually poison people. So, what you just ate for breakfast was poison-free. But, I did slip in some sleeping pills. You''ll probably be out for about eight or nine hours."


    Just as Sophie was about to leave, she paused and added, "Oh, right. After those eight or nine hours, you might find yourself air-shipped back to Devonport. I''ll get in touch with Ms. Elodie to pick you up. Hope everything goes well for you when you get back."


    It was pretty obvious Sophie didn''t mean a word of what she said.


    If he ended up being sent back to Devonport like this, knowing Elodie, she''d definitely be furious with him.


    "Sophie! You-"


    Griffin tried to say something, but his eyelids were already heavy and his vision blurred. Within seconds, he copsed to the floor.


    "Oh, I forgot to mention, besides the sleeping pills, I added a tiny dose of a hallucinogen. Just get some good rest; you won''t feel a thing on the way."


    With that, Sophie turned and left the hotel.


    Outside, a bodyguard opened the car door for Sophie and asked, "Ms. Sophie, are we heading back to the hospital?"


    "Drive to the Minton estate."


    "Yes, ma''am."


    The Minton estate.


    In the study, Odie was restlessly throwing darts.


    "Boss, Sophie''s here," Jonah reported from outside the door. Odie immediately stood up. "Is she here for payback?"


    "Seems like it."


    "Don''t let her in!"


    Before Odie could finish his sentence, Sophie had already kicked open the door.


    It had been a while since Sophiest visited the Minton estate. She nced around; the decor hadn''t changed a bit.


    Polly, who was cleaning, looked up and saw Sophie. She was taken aback, but Sophie just gave her a brief nce, and they both acted like they had never met, without saying a word. "Odie, if you don''te out, I''m going to start smashing things!"


    Sophie raised her voice and called out upstairs.


    Odie almost immediately stepped out of


    the study. Seeing Sophie over a dozen bodyguards, he knew meant business this


    "Sophie, what''s with bringing so many people here?"


    "Settling scores."


    Sophie said, "Didn''t Mr. Odie just say he wanted to settle things with me alone? So, I brought people over."


    "You..."


    Odie was at a loss for words, feeling guilty. Sophie then said, "Mr. Odie, how about we talk upstairs?"


    Odie nced at the people behind Sophie and eventually told Jonah, "Bring her up." "Yes, boss."This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    Jonah went downstairs and said to Sophie, "Ms. Sophie, the boss invites you upstairs."


    In the study upstairs, Sophie directly sat on the sofa opposite Odie.


    Odie was already used to Sophie''s blunt manners and said, "You really don''t hold back, do you?"


    Seeing Sophie just staring at him without saying a word, Odie finally felt ufortable under her gaze. "What exactly do you want? Want to hit me, yell at me, or maybe cut me with a knife?"

    "Griffin was captured by me and should be air-shipped back to Devonport by now."


    "Are you asking what Griffin''s rtionship is with me?"


    "You both were once enforcers for the White family."


    "Knowing this, whye to me?"


    Odie said impatiently, "Anyway, I''m responsible for today''s incident. You can settle the score with me however you want."


    "Mr. Odie, no need to rush to take all


    the me. I just wanted to ask, how exactly did Griffin convince you to get involved? Did you two reach some sort of deal?"
