Reece held the contract in his hand, a resigned smile ying on his lips. "Sophie, I''ve already told you, you can have him, but that doesn''t mean he''ll want to go with you." "Whether he goes with me is my concern. Fulfilling your promise to hand him over is yours."


    "Fine, he''s of no use to me anymore, it''s not like I can''t give him away."


    With a slight gesture from Reece, someone soon brought Odie over.


    Upon seeing Sophie and Jonah, Odie''s expression turned sour, as if ming Sophie foring.


    "Come here!"


    Angerced Sophie''s voice.


    Unconsciously, Odie took a step forward but soon scowled and said, "I''m not going back with you. Leave!"


    "Odie, stop throwing a tantrum. The diamond has already been handed over, and mypany is gone too! If I don''t bring you back, I can''t exin it to everyone!"


    Hearing this, Odie''s expression grew even darker. Clenching his fists, he coldly told Sophie, "We''re not on the same path, Sophie. All of this is just your wishful thinking! Leave! I don''t want to see you!" "Boss! I''m with you!"


    Jonah stepped forward, though his pale face betrayed the pain from the wound on his shoulder.


    Odie''s voice grew colder: "Don''t you understand? I don''t want to see you. The Silent Shadows offer me more. We''ve only been together for mutual benefits from the start. It was true then, it''s true now, and it''ll be true in the future. I never considered you friends." Sophie could clearly see Odie''s eyes reddening, filled with ruthlessness and disdain.


    It seemed he was extremely averse to their presence.


    "Sophie, do you understand now? It''s not that I won''t let him go; he doesn''t want to leave."


    Reece spoke indifferently: "I know you''re not one to cling, and seeing as you pose no threat to me now, I''ll let you go, in honor of ourst shred of friendship."


    "We have no friendship."


    Sophie''s gaze remained fixed on Odie as she coldly asked, "Odie, I''m asking you onest time, are youing with me or not?"


    "Why should I go with you? We''re nothing to each other."


    Odie seemed determined not to leave.


    Hearing Odie say this, Sophie''s face gradually filled with anger.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    Everyone had gone through so much trouble to find Odie, and with just a word of refusal, he expected them to leave?


    "Fine! Stay if you want!"


    Sophie, not one to drag things out, grabbed Jonah by the arm and started heading back.


    Jonah''s injury couldn''t wait much longer. Since Odie refused to leave, the least she could do was prevent Jonah from getting hurt further.


    "Ms. Sophie!"


    "I know you want to stay by Odie''s side, but he can''t possibly take you with him to The Silent Shadows, you understand?"


    Jonah looked at Sophie pleadingly.


    Sophie''s voice was very low.


    Even though she didn''t know what


    means The Silent Shadows had used to make Odie stay, she was


    sure it wasn''t by his own choice.


    With the odds against them, trying to take Odie by force could lead to unimaginable consequences.
