Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Listening to Odie recount his years in Summerfield, Sophie furrowed her brows, lost in thought. After a moment, she finally said, "So, you're trying to say you're playing dumb to outsmart everyone?"

"Sophie, were you even paying attention? And do I look stupid to you right now?"

Odie looked visibly annoyed.

He really didn't like hearing Sophie talk like that!

"I was complimenting you! I meant playing dumb to outsmart others, not the other way around."

"You..."

Sophie got to her feet and said, "As long as you know what's going on, that's what matters. Let us handle the new CEO of the Mintons. You just focus on getting better. Once you're back on your feet, we're counting on you to help us reclaim the Mintons." As Sophie was about to leave, Odie spoke up suddenly, "Sophie."

"What is it?"

"If you need to suspect someone, suspect James."

"James?"

Sophie was taken aback. In her mind, Odie and James had only ever had one business deal.

Previously, James had stepped in, suggesting a partnership with the Mintons to support Odie.
