Upon hearing that, Sophie's furrowed brow softened, and she gently pulled Colby's hand away from her mouth. "Alright, I won't bring it up again," she said. The night was deep, and Polly stood outside the gates of Minton Manor, hesitant to enter. The security guard, seeing her, asked with a puzzled look, "Polly?"

Polly froze, considering running away, but then she noticed Colby's men lurking in the shadows, keeping an eye on her. Just as she was caught in a bind, a sleek black car emerged from the estate. She caught a glimpse of the face inside and was stunned. Was that James? What was he doing overseas? Before she could make sense of it, Jonah, who had driven James away, spotted her too. Frowning, Jonah asked, "Why are you back?"

Startled by his voice, Polly took a step back, her face pale. "Jonah... it was Colby. Colby and Sophie sent me back!"

"They sent you back?" Jonah frowned deeper, clearly perplexed by Colby and Sophie's actions. "Come inside with me." "Okay..." Polly trailed behind Jonah, her heart pounding. "Jonah, I didn't say anything, honestly! They just sent me back." "Save your explanations for the boss," Jonah replied curtly.

Inside, they found Odie in the living room, half-crouched and meticulously inspecting the floor with a magnifying glass. Straightening up, Odie coldly addressed the cleaning staff nearby, "This isn't clean yet. Do it again."

"Mr. Odie, we've been cleaning all day. It should be spotless by now..." one of the cleaners complained. Ever since Colby had sent them over, Odie had found one bizarre reason after another to make them clean repeatedly-cracks on the wall, grease in the bedroom, bird

droppings on the air conditioner unit outside. The floor tiles were so polished they nearly reflected light, and the cleaners were at their wit's end.
