Sophie's eyes sparkled with sincerity, but Odie couldn't shake the feeling that there was something sly lurking beneath her gaze.

Odie took his time, speaking slowly, "But considering you've madelose the Pollard family marriage proposal, don't you think you oweskind of compensation?" Sophie said gently, "I'm broke, Mr. Odie. I have nothing to offer you." "All I want is a twenty percent share of S Corporation." "Are you serious? That's daylight robbery!" Sophie thought Odie had lost his mind. Twenty percent of the shares, and he actually asked? "You are not giving me?" "Nope." "Then how about I chop off one of your hands?" "Go ahead." Sophie stretched out her hand with utmost seriousness.
Sophie really seemed prepared to use her hand to settle her debt, and Odie laughed in frustration, "You'd rather lose a hand than money?" "A hand is just a hand. At least I'll have food to eat. Without money, I won't be able to afford even that." Odie brushed aside Sophie's hand and said, "Then go and talk to Colby. Have him transfer the Costello family's shares to me." "That can be arranged." "Really?" "Arrange a meeting between us, and I guarantee the transfer documents will be in your hands the next day." Odie's expression turned cold, "Sophie, enough is enough. You've treatedlike a fool over and over. Do you find this amusing?" Sophie replied earnestly, "Mr. Odie, you started this joke." "I'm done with you." Odie put down his fork, preparing to leave when Sophie suddenly asked, "Odie, where have you kept Polly?" Hearing this, Odie frowned, "Who's keeping her?" Sophie pointed at Jonah beside Odie, "Him!" Following Sophie's direction, Odie looked at Jonah, asking, "You did?" "Boss, regardless of whether Polly did it on purpose, she's a suspect. 1 didn't punish her, just confined her to avoid any potential schemes, especially... fearing she might have accomplices." As he spoke, Jonah's gaze landed on Sophie.
He remembered clearly how Sophie had framed him in the past. Sophie was obviously up to something, but only their boss would believe Sophie was innocent.
Sophie spoke up, "It seems you suspectof harboring ill intentions." "Exactly." Jonah didn't hide his suspicion.

Sophie was about to retort when Odie said, "She should be confined. She's made a significant mistake, andnot punishing her is already showing you favor, Sophie. Don't push your luck." "But..." Odie slowly said, "Jonah, get ready. We're heading to the Pollard family's place." "Yes, boss."
e Jonah went to prepare the car, and Odie glanced at Sophie, still standing there, "Mrs, Costello please return to your room now and have someone lock the door, whether you plan to sleep or watch TV. Don't wander around." "Odie, you..." Odie didn't pay Sophie any more attention and turned to leave through the Minton family's grand entrance. Sophie frowned.
If Polly was confined, then getting hold of the cell phone would be m impossible. No, she had to notify Colby while Odie was away.
