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. Some whispered 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 dramatic 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.”
