Chapter 880

"Escape? No way. This place is probably crawling with Minton family members. Even if I wanted to, where could I go?"

Sophie took a couple of steps forward and caught a glimpse of a black car parked about a hundred meters away. Colby was there, and that made her feel a bit more at ease.

Before they entered the venue, Odie followed the old Minton family tradition and placed a masquerade mask on Sophie. He wore a half-black mask himself.

Stepping into the dinner, Sophie braced herself. She'd been through this before, so she felt more prepared this time around.

Odie leaned in and said, "Hold onto my arm, or I can't promise you'll be safe."

His words made Sophie even more wary. Inside, everything seemed normal, except she noticed all the guests were men, and they were all eyeing her like wolves. It made her skin crawl, and she tightened her grip on Odie's arm.
