"Have you... been in a bad mood?" Sophie asked, eyeing Odie with growing confusion. Why did Odie always shut down when Gordon was brought up?


    "I''m alreadyid up here. Stop pestering me and just leave once you''re done talking." Odie turned to Jonah beside him, "Show Ms. Sophie out, or do I really have to spell it out for you?" "Yes... boss." Jonah walked over to Sophie, gesturing for her to exit.


    "Take care and heal up. I don''t have time to drop by and chit-chat anyway." Sophie turned to Jonah, "Keep a close watch on your boss. Make sure he doesn''t wander around Devonport. The Silent Shadows are gunning for Odie. If he gets caught again, I can''t promise I can bail him out."N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    "Yes, Ms. Sophie," Jonah replied, catching Odie''s attention.


    "Who''s your boss, her or me?" Odie asked, eyebrows furrowing deeper.


    Jonah nced between Sophie and Odie, finally managing to say, "The boss... is the boss."


    "Then get back here! Who told you to take orders from someone else?"


    Sophie found Odie''s childish antics amusing. Who would''ve thought that Odie, the feared and revered figure in Summerfield, could be such a stubborn softy?


    "I''m off," Sophie said, leaving Odie''s room with those two words.


    In the Aldridge Estate''s living room, Harold rushed in from Aldridge Global as soon as he heard Sophie was back. Seeing him all flustered, Sophie asked, "What''s up? Why are you in such a hurry?"


    "You seem soid-back, but I''ve got


    a mountain of chores to tackle."


    Harold seemed disinclined to discuss Business matters. Settling onto the couch, he asked Sophie, who wasing down the stairs, "How did things go overseas?"


    "Almost wrapped up. The Silent Shadows tried to cut into Colby''s overseas influence, but they didn''t seed. Who knows what they''ll try next?"


    Sophie sat on one side of the couch,


    and Haroldmented, "The Spellman family''s young miss has been getting pretty cozy with Colbytely if you don''t step in soon, Colby might really be someone else''s."


    "You mean Gina."


    Harold couldn''t help but admire Sophie''s cool demeanor, knowing her husband was getting close to another woman and still keeping herposure.


    "Is there another Gina? She''s been sticking to your husband like glue, even chasing him from Summerfield to Devonport."


    Harold couldn''t stand women like Nichole, who yed the helpless and innocent type, using underhanded tactics to win.


    "Chill, I haven''t said anything, so don''t worry for me. When you get a chance, could you check this website for me?" Sophie handed Harold a note.


    On it was a URL she got from Reece. Though Reece said it was no longer useful, she hoped to find some clues.


    "Let me take a look," Harold said,


    opening hisptop and typing in the


    URL. "Honestly, Adler''s theputer whiz among us. If you weren''t


    keeping your distance, Adler col


    probably crack this site in no time."
