At that moment, Odie, standing behind Sandy, chimed in, "Ms. Sandy is right. Who''d be foolish enough to mess with the heiress of the Pord family? That''s a one-way ticket to trouble." Sandy, brimming with pride, lifted her chin and said, "d you understand."


    Odie''s gaze turned icy. Sophie knew Odie loathed those who unted their wealth. She feared Odie might lose his cool andsh out at Sandy, so she quickly intervened, "Ms. Sandy, let''s not forget Mr. Odie has kindly taken us in. After all, he was once your fiancé. You should be more respectful."


    "Exactly, Sandy. Ms. Sophie is right on the money. You really need to learn some manners. It''s not okay to throw your weight around. Not everyone''s going to go easy on you just because you''re the Pord heiress," Angelo said, trying to be the voice of reason.


    Sandy frowned defiantly. "But Daddy always said a girl''s got to be tough and not let anyone push her around. Should I listen to you or to Daddy?"


    ...


    Angelo felt a twinge of frustration.


    Ever since she was little, their father had spoiled Sandy, giving her nothing but the best and never letting her face any hardships. This upbringing made Sandy spoiled and willful, thinking her status as the Pord heiress would shield her from any consequences.


    And it had, except for that one time when Sandy angered Colby by helping Vanessa.


    Now, their father was thinking maybe it was time for Sandy to face some real challenges. Depending on the family wouldn''t cut it forever. Who would stand by her unconditionally after he was gone?


    "I''ve been staying at the Minton Estate with Colby, and everything''s taken care of. You''ve been out here for days. Isn''t it time toe home?" Sophie asked.


    Before Sandy could reply, Angelo quickly said, "We... we''re not done having fun yet. We want to stay a few more days!"


    Sandy looked at Angelo, puzzled.


    They''d been in Devonport for days, and there wasn''t much left to see. Why was her brother so reluctant to leave?


    "A few more days?" Sophie raised an eyebrow.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.

    Odie''s face darkened.


    Sophie shook her head helplessly. "If Mr. Odie isn''t willing, then there''s nothing I can do. Colby''s almost healed, so maybe we should all head back to Devonport? The medical facilities there are top-notch and could help Colby recover even better."


    "Yes, yes, let''s go back! There''s nothing to stay for here! Going back is better!" Sandy nodded eagerly.


    But Odie was not pleased, "Sophie, what are you implying? Are you saying my Summerfield is inferior to your Devonport?"
