"In truth, it's pretty simple. The shareholders at Burke International aren't exactly saints. They've got skeletons in their closets that Odie knows about, so they pretty much have to do what he says." Hearing this, Elodie couldn't help but laugh.

"No wonder."

No wonder at the previous shareholders' meeting, just mentioning Odie's name was enough for Sophie to sway their opinions so easily.

"Alright, I know this was your plan, and I'll take the loss this time. But Sophie, I don't actually dislike you. So, out of kindness, let me tell you: getting shares of Burke International is not going to be good for you. The person behind all this won't let you off the hook." "Do you know who it is?"

"What if I do? We're destined to be enemies. I lost to you this time, but next time, someone even more formidable will come after you, and you might not be as lucky."
