Chapter 1408

Colby walked into the office with a whole crew of folks dressed in black, and they weren't just any folks-they were flown in from overseas for this. "Wow! Colby's really pulling out all the stops!"

Adler never saw this coming. Who knew Colby had this up his sleeve?

A few guys in suits strolled in and said, "Ma'am, Mr. Colby sent us to help with whatever you need around here."

Before long, Colby made his way to Sophie and said, "Let them handle the workload; they're pros from abroad. Some projects are time-sensitive. We'll handle the crucial ones, and they can take care of the rest."

"If I'd known you had backup lined up, we wouldn't have spent an hour sweating over the small stuff."

Odie shut the file with a snap, stood up, and said to Jonah, "Jonah, let's roll."

"Yes, Mr. Odie."

Jonah followed Odie's lead.

Sophie called out to Odie, "We're supposed to have dinner tonight. Where are you off to now?"

"I just finished setting up my new place in Devonport. Gotta swing by the Aldridge family home to pick up a few things."

The room fell silent when Odie mentioned the Aldridge family.
