Chapter 766 "Fainted? Just out of the blue?" Odie stood up, ready to leave, when Ricardo suddenly spoke, "Ms. Sophie? You mean Colby's missing fiancée, Sophie?" "What? You know her, Mr. Ricardo?" "Know her? That's an understatement," Ricardo's face darkened.
Sophie's disappearance at the engagement party had caused quite the uproar in Devonport, sparking countless rumors. Swhispered that Sophie had cheated on Colby and ran off with another man. Others speculated she still had feelings for James and that's why she bolted from the wedding.
Everyone in Devonport had their theories about Sophie's tic exit. But Ricardo never expected to find her here with Odie! Odie was about to leave, so Ricardo quickly said, "Mr. Odie, about the funding..." "We'll discuss the funding later. Someone, show our guest out," Odie instructed.
Clearly, Odie wasn't interested in dragging out the conversation. Leaving without securing the three billion had Ricardo's mood plummeting. This Sophie, of all times to faint, had to choose now! It seemed almost deliberate, like she was aiming to mess with him! But with Odie's dismissal, Ricardo had no choice but to leave the Minton family's estate, looking rather defeated. In the guest room, Sophie lay on the bed, her face pale. Polly touched Sophie's forehead and said to Odie, "Boss, Ms. Sophie's forehead is quite warm. She probably caught a chill tonight and with her exhaustion, she fainted.” "Did you call a doctor?" "Yes, they should be here soon." Hearing this, Odie moyed closer to Sophie, feeling her forehead himself. It was indeed burning hot. "How could she faint from a little chill?" he muttered. Turning to Polly, Odie said, "Get her snourishment ready. She should eat when she wakes up." "More food.." "What?" Polly hesitated, "Ms. Sophie has been eating five meals a day since she got injured yesterday. I'm worried she might get overnourished..." "Isn't there a saying, 'You are what you eat'? The more she eats, the faster she'll recover." "But..." "Where's the doctor? Are they just slacking off?" Odie's impatience was evident. Polly quickly-said, "I'll go hurry them up, get someone here faster." After Polly left, Odie gently patted Sophie's cheek, "Drop your act. You are awake." Seeing no response, Odie continued, "Not getting up? Then I'll call Ricardo back to discuss that three billion." As Odie turned to leave, Sophie immediately opened her eyes and grabbed his arm, "Don't go!" Odie raised an eyebrow, and Sophie quickly let go. With a playful tone, Odie said, "So, not pretending anymore?" "How did you know I was pretending?" "Your forehead is blazing, like a hot water bottle. Did you think that would fool me?"
Odie wiped ssmudged foundation from Sophie's face, "Next tyou fake being sick, at least make it convincing. Your makeup is smudging."
Embarrassed, Sophie wiped her face, "I couldn't think of any other wayn Please don't take it the wrong way, Mr. Odin' t I just didn't want your money to go to waste." "What do you mean?"
"If you lend that three hundred million to Ricardo, I guarantee you'll I Lel see The content is on never novelenglish.net! 213 14:43 apter that money again."
