Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 1244

Originally, according to her and Colby's plan, even if the opposition wanted to reclaim control of the Mintons and

find someone new, there should have been a proper process to follow. At the very least, the new CEO would have

been announced first.

But unexpectedly, this tthe CEO of the Mintons was appointed out of nowhere, and within a single day, a

new CEO was elected without following the usual procedures. No one cto take the shares from Odie either. It

was all too strange. Although they had already guessed that the Mintons had hidden assets, with someone

behind the scenes holding the largest share of these hidden benefits, Sophie still had many unanswered

questions. As the CEO of the Mintons, Odie should have known about these things.

Odie said nonchalantly, "When | was first sent to the Mintons as an adopted son to that old man, | was always

"What happened then?"

"Then, | was tricked by Colby into

going to Summerfield," Odie continued. "There were many elites sent there, sof them were wealthy heirs,

swere prodigies in finance. In terms of knowledge, | couldn't compete with them, but in terms of

ruthlessness, they were no match for me. Luckily, Jensen liked my ruthlessness, and that allowedto smoothly

"Who was it?"

"| couldn't see clearly," said Odie. "Anyone Jensen met with was no ordinary person. At the time, | didn't care at

all, just hoping Jensen would die soon so that the Mintons would

"You mean... the person you saw that night killed Jensen?"

"Maybe," Odie said. "The old man died of a heart attack. At that time, | only wanted to be the ruler of the

Mintons, so didn't order an investigation. Later, when | took over the Mintons' previous dealings, found that a

place like Summerfield was filthy. To survive, one had to be dirtier and more ruthless than those people.

Odie looked at Sophie and said, "Have you ever heard of a beast's instinct? | haven't ruled out the possibility that

there might be someone else behind the Mintons, but my instinct toldnot to investigate. Sometimes, turning «

a blind eye is better than losing your life."
