Chapter 699

Standing in front of Odie, Jonah lowered his head and said, “Boss, this was all staged by Sophie. Please trust me.”

Odie replied coldly, “You said she was faking unconsciousness. Then, go and slash her with a knife to see if she’ll wake up.”

“I’ll do it right now!”

Jonah drew the small knife from his belt. When he placed the knife across Sophie’s neck, Sophie lay on the bed and had no reaction whatsoever.

Odie set down his glass of whiskey, saying coldly, “In our line of work, if you can’t tell whether someone has fainted or is faking it, then you’re not cut out for this job.”

The doctor’s visit was just an unnecessary precaution. Odie believed that Jonah could also see that Sophie had truly fainted.
