Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 1125

The gala, held every three years, was the epitome of exclusivity. Only the crème de la crème, after a grueling selection process, could grace this prestigious event. As you know, this brand's a big deal internationally, and in our circles, it's considered the height of luxury. The ladies attending must be between eighteen and twenty-five-any older and you're out. And they have strict checks on height, weight, and figure." Sandy loved these kinds of events.

Sophie's eyes flitted around the crowd outside the gala, realizing that everyone else was dressed in black evening gowns. She stood out like a sore thumb in her white dress.

"Sophie, are you even listening? I'm trying to educate you here!"

"Yeah, yeah, keep educating."

Sophie scanned the venue, trying to spot any Minton family members.

Sure enough, she saw a few people in black outside, patrolling with the Minton family's crest on their uniforms, which gave her some peace of mind.

But soon, worry crept back in.

The Gibbs family controlled the venue.

Daniel was a man who followed the money, changing allegiances as easily as the wind changes direction. If he betrayed them, what would happen to Odie's people... Meanwhile, Odie was getting ready to head out for the gala.

Jonah escorted Odie to the car. As Odie got in, he asked, almost offhandedly, "Everything set?"

"All set," Jonah confirmed. "Our folks are on the down-low, keeping an eye on Ms. Sophie. And since the venue is the Gibbs family's Pearl Hotel, we shouldn't have any problems." "Good."

Odie nodded.

A Gibbs family establishment did feel somewhat safer.

Anyone thinking of causing trouble would need to remember whose turf Summerfield really was.

Just then, Jonah's phone rang. He answered on speaker.

"Boss, we're stuck at the entrance of the Pearl Hotel. They won't let us in."

"Tell the manager you're with the Minton family."

"We've said that so many times, our mouths are dry! But they won't budge, saying this gala is too important to risk any disturbance."

"Then push your way in!" Odie snapped. "Who do they think they are, blocking the Minton family?"

"Mr. Odie! We're really sorry, but we're just following the rules. Rest assured, we'll keep Ms. Sophie and Ms. Sandy safe. Could you do us a favor and have your men wait outside? Just a couple of hours, and it'll be over."

Hearing that Odie might take drastic action, the manager quickly tried to placate him.

Odie usually wasn't one for appeasement, but considering the gala's potential importance fore

Sophie, causing a scene might make

her stand out even more.

Odie took a deep breath and said, "Fine, wait outside. But if anything happens to Sophie on your watch, you're done for!"

"Yes, yes, absolutely! Rest assured,

there will be no mistakes! Our men

will protect Ms. Sophie and Ms Sandy, ensuring they don't get so much as a scratch!"

With a wave, Odie signaled Jonah to hang up.

"Boss, are we really letting this slide?"
