Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 1101

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.

Sophie lowered her head, picking up the share transfer agreement. She had an inkling of why Elodie had come, but she didn't expect her to remain calm about Griffin getting hurt.

In a way, Elodie was a morally respectable opponent.

But then again...

Their moral compasses weren't exactly pointing due north.

"Ms. Sophie, are we heading back?" one of her bodyguards asked.

Sophie glanced back at her two enforcers, noticing them trembling, likely scared of the muscle-bound guys from earlier.
