Vanessa's face turned ghostly pale at Odie's words. He clearly had no intention of killing Sophie.

"Then why'd you ask for my opinion earlier? How could you do this!" she blurted out, frustration boiling over.

Odie couldn't stand the incessant buzzing in his ears. He rubbed them, a look of irritation clouding his face. This was exactly why he hated dealing with idiots. And especially airheaded heiresses like Vanessa. But, because of her connection to Sandy, Odie decided to explain, "If I killed Sophie, wouldn't Colby just come and kill me?"

Vanessa was left completely dumbstruck. "So, you never planned to help me at all? You just wanted to use Sophie to threaten Colby?"

Sophie chuckled, "Ms. Vanessa, you're mistaken again. If he wanted to capture me, he would've done it already. Why bother having you negotiate with me first? He just wanted to pull you into this mess. Now that you and Odie have caught me, you're both in this together."

Vanessa's already pale face grew even whiter. She never imagined Odie had such plans!
