Seeing her n unravel, Sophie lost all interest in sparring with Odie. She breezily remarked, "Yeah, Jonah''s right. It''s gettingte. I should head back." "You..."


    "I see Mr. Odie''s just had a shower. You wouldn''t want to catch a chill. Actually, Jonah can drive me back. Staying here for the night wouldn''t be too bad for you." "Since when do you make decisions for me?"


    Odie stood up and told Jonah, "Go start the car now."


    "But boss... Are you sure you want to go out dressed like that?"


    Leaving in a bathrobe was indeed quite unseemly.


    Odie nced down at his bathrobe, slightly irritated, and threw the towel hanging around his neck at Sophie''s face. "Out!"


    Sophie tossed the towel back at him and, ignoring Odie''s darkening scowl, turned and left the suite.


    Jonah followed closely behind her.


    If it had been anyone else, they might have already been dead at Odie''s hands!


    Leaning against the wall near the suite''s door, Sophie quipped, "Does it always take Mr. Odie so long to get ready? Even slower than us girls?"


    Jonahpletely ignored her.


    Sophie then asked, "Who did Odie meet today?"


    Jonah remained silent.


    Sophie knew she wouldn''t get anything out of him. She nced at the two bodyguards stationed by the door and said, "I''m really curious. If someone could tell me who Odie met today, I''d be willing to offer five million and a small vi." The two bodyguards exchanged looks, almost ready to spill the beans.


    But Jonah''s re quickly silenced them.


    Jonah coldly said, "Ms. Sophie, anyone who betrays our boss has no ce in Summerfield. Are you trying to get someone killed?"


    "Come on, if they can''t stay in Summerfield, there''s always Devonport. Devonport''s not much different from Summerfield."


    The bodyguards were even more tempted.


    Even working for the Minton family their whole lives might not earn them five million.


    How is this different from winning the lottery?


    Jonah continued, "Betraying the

    ce in Summerfield; it likely means losing their lives too. By them regretting it would be toote."


    "Look at what you''re saying. Isn''t

    "Then Ms. Sophie can try. See if you can protect them first or if I break their necks first."


    A murderous aura emanated from Jonah, making the bodyguards immediately abandon their thoughts.


    Sophie''s smile faded as she said,


    "Jonah, I was just joking. Don''t take it seriously, Five million and a vi aren''t small sums. To find out who your boss met, paying that much would be too much of a loss, don''t you think?"


    "Good that Ms. Sophie understands."


    Jonah looked away.


    At that moment, Odie opened the door.


    He nced at Sophie, then at Jonah, and asked, "I change my clothes, and you two start chatting?"


    "Just some idle talk. I must say, Jonah really doesn''t have a funny bone in his body, unlike Mr. Odie, who knows how to joke." "I don''t joke."


    Odie walked past Sophie, saying, "Follow me."
