"Mr. Odie..."


    Odie stormed over and kicked the guy right in the chest, growling through gritted teeth, "Who told you to drive that pickup to my ce? Are you looking for trouble?" "Mr. Odie... I didn''t mean to, it was Colby who..."


    The man looked genuinely upset.


    He''d never driven a pickup before; it was pure bad luck he was nearby when the call came through!


    But before long, Odie heard the familiar rumble of his car.


    Peering over the guy''s shoulder, Odie spotted Colby pulling up.


    Watching Colby grab a hammer from the trunk, Odie''s face darkened further. "Colby! You''ve got some nerve!"This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    "I''m here to fix your gate, saving you a bundle. Isn''t that a good thing?"


    Colby said this while already making a beeline for the gate.


    Worried about his gate getting smashed again, Odie pulled out his phone, glowering. "Try it, and I''m calling Sophie."


    He might not be able to control Colby, but he knew someone who could.


    And sure enough, Colby froze at those words.


    Then, slowly, Colby turned back.


    Seeing Colby hesitate, Odie smirked. "The mighty Colby, afraid of someone? If you''re fixing it, do it properly, or Sophie''s paying." Hearing this, Colby tossed the hammer at his sidekick''s feet. "You handle it."


    "Me?"


    The sidekick pointed at himself, looking baffled.


    Once he realized he hadn''t misheard, his face fell.


    He was just a lowly bodyguard for the Costello family! He happened to be nearby when they urgently needed someone to drive the pickup. Not only had he ticked off Odie, but now he was about to wreck the Minton family''s gate.


    Could he even keep this job after today?


    Being a bodyguard sure wasn''t easy!

    Just then, another car engine rumbled from outside the Minton estate. The car pulled up, and Jonah hopped out, with Sophie following behind. Sophie took one look at the tense scene, her eyesnding on Colby. "Colby, I heard you took someone''s car."


    Colby nced at Jonah standing next to Sophie.


    Jonah had sidled up beside Odie, trying to act casual, but he was sweating bullets inside.


    Sophie strolled over, cing a credit

    Then, she snatched the hammer from the sidekick''s hands.


    Seeing this, Colby, worried about Sophie''s shoulder injury, stepped up to take the hammer from her.


    Colby said, "I''ll handle it."


    Sophie whispered, "Let''s see if you''ll pull any stunts now."


    "Won''t happen again."


    Colby stood next to Sophie like a kid caught red-handed.


    Odie said, "Sophie, keep your Colby in check! I don''t need his bad luck."


    Sophie shot back, "Mr. Odie, how can
