Hearing that, Odie''s face turned stormy. "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"If you''re not some undercover spy sent by the enemy, why are you so obsessed with Sophie? I''m watching her because I like her! Are you saying you do too?"
Odie couldn''t help butugh at Angelo''s words. "You like Sophie?"
Even though he was a bit unsure, Angelo mustered up the courage. "Yeah! I''ve already told Sophie how I feel, and I even confessed to Colby! Plus, Sophie has tacitly allowed me to keep an eye on her. I have her permission, you don''t! Clearly, you''re the one with the problem!"
Grinding his teeth, Odie snapped, "Has Sophie lost her mind?"
"Look, it''s obvious you''re the one with the issue, not me," Angelo teased. "Come on, admit it. Do you have feelings for Sophie?"
"Jonah!"
"Boss."
Odie quickly unlocked the door and shoved Angelo out, his voice icy. "Take him back where he came from!" "Yes, boss."
"Hey! Just because I''ve hit a nerve, you can''t just get angry and throw me out, Odie! You''re just "
"Make sure his mouth is shut when you toss him out!"
"Yes!"
"Mmph! Mmph!"
Not long after, Jonah returned to find Odie fuming, hands on his hips. "Boss, there''s something fishy about this Kiran. Should we..." "He''s definitely not Kiran."
Odie was certain. "If Sophie knows he''s not Kiran, why keep him around?"
"Boss, but Ms. Sandy acknowledges this guy. Could it be... the Pord family actually has two kids?"
"Two? Identical twins?"
Jonah nodded. "If that''s the case, it makes sense. Kiran is brilliant and decisive, a recognized genius. But this fake Kiran... he''s cluelessand slow."
"Not only is he slow, but his eyesight must be terrible too."
To think he said he liked Sophie?
UM
Rubbing his temples, Odie asked, "When are Sophie and Colbying back?"
"They just left, so not until tonight at the earliest."
"We can''t just sit around. We have to investigate everything we need to."
"But the Mintons are now under Harold''s control. How are we supposed to take back power?"
"I''m still the major shareholder of the Mintons, and I still have influence Tell the brothers in Summerfield to stay sharp. Anyone who sides with Harold will be dealt with."
"Yes, boss."
Meanwhile, at the Costello family home
Colby parked in the family garage.
ording to the family''s rules, only the head of the family could enter the shrine.
Right now Sophie and Colby stood at the shrine''s entrance, which was locked Sophie stared at the lock for a while before asking, "When was thest time your family opened the shrine?"
"Probablyst year."Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
"Do people clean here regrly?"
Colby shook his head. "Only once a year."
"This lock... has it been tampered with?"
