"Sophie!" Odie's face was stormy with anger. "I cto Devonport to find the jerk who setup! Get these cuffs offnow!" "Set you up? Mr. Odie, are you seriously suggesting that someone else smuggled tens of thousands of machines right under the Minton Corporation's nose? Con, you're the CEO of the Minton Corporation, known for your ruthless efficiency. Who would dare cross you?" Sophie's words made Odie laugh bitterly. "Me, ruthless? Where'd you get that idea from? Sure, my reputation might intimidate some, but that doesn't mean people won't try to pull a fast one on me!" Feeling a bit overwhelmed by the noise, Sophie said, "Mr. Odie, are you just trying to say you had nothing to do with this? Alright, I believe you, and Colby believes you too, but how are you going to convince everyone else? Today, you were spotted at the Devonport docks, personally overseeing the transport of hundreds of machines. And only you and Jonah were found there. It's hard not to be suspicious." "I've told you, it was a setup!" "Who set you up?" "I had the guy in my grip, but he bolted the moment the cops showed up!" Odie's explanation sounded weak.

I remember that Minton Corporation's policy prohibits selling these machines outside of Summerfield. And it's clear that only Minton Corporation's venues can operate them. No matter what, Mr. Odie, you're the one in charge. Who could have moved so many machines without you noticing?" Hearing Sophie's words, Odie realized there was no way to clear his name.
He slumped into a chair and said, "Fine, go ahead and arrest me." Seeing his defiant attitude, Sophie nodded. Alright, given all the wrong you've done, arresting you w be a lossa'll have someone take Odie back to Summerfield for trial." Seeing Sophie truly didn't care about his wellbeing Odie said, "You don't need to use this reverse psychology on me. You know I'm not the mastermind behind this! If I knew who it was, I wouldn't be hauling a bunch of busted machines and that severed hand over." Sophie fell silent.
She understood Odie's point.
But without a way for Odie to prove his Ponce, and with ace the at him, she felt at a time.

Sophie pointed to the door. "Right outside. Do you want to see him?" "...No need..." "Do you want to see him or not?" "...Let him in. I need to talk to him privately." X
