Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Sophie caught the meaning behind Elodie's words and responded with a touch of sarcasm, "Ms. Elodie, you must be joking. Odie runs this town in Summerfield, and with the Minton family behind me, who would dare mess with me?"

"Who knows? There's always a bigger fish. Maybe Odie isn't the top dog of Summerfield after all?"

With that, Elodie stood up and said, "I've said my piece. This time, Griffin made a move against you, and I was in the wrong first. So, I'm not hesitating any longer. Here are the shares, handed over personally. From now on, we owe each other nothing. In Devonport, let's compete fair and square." Elodie then turned and left with her two bodyguards.
