Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 629

They sure did look the same. Both were milkshakes.

The formidable CEO, known for his ruthlessness in the business world of Minton International, was drinking a milkshake first thing in the morning.

"What's the problem?"

"How much sugar did you put in?"

That first sip had Sophie feeling like she was in hell. She was convinced it was extra sweet. Even for a sugarholic, it would feel like overkill.

Odie just drank it without batting an eye.

"I don't know, but it tastes good." Odie wasn't particularly interested in this topic and said indifferently, "I've given you an explanation for last night's events. Since you didn't take the chance to escape, I'll reward you."

Hearing the word 'reward,' Sophie perked up.

Could Odie actually be this generous?

"You have a day to think about what you want. As long as it's reasonable, I'll consider it."

"I want a phone."

"Denied." Odie rejected Sophie's request almost immediately.

Sophie laughed in frustration. "Odie, you can't afford a phone?"

"I'm not an idiot. Give you a phone so you can reveal your location and have James rescue you?"

Odie casually took another sip of his milkshake and said, "I'll give you another chance. Don't rush your answer."

After saying this, Odie glanced at Jonah, who was standing by. Jonah immediately understood and told Sophie, “Ms. Sophie, you may go now."

Realizing that Odie refused to continue the conversation, Sophie frowned slightly and said, "I've decided what I want."

"Speak."

"I want to know, when my Uncle Perry was involved in gambling and the Russell family fell from grace, was it the Minton family's doing?"

The leap from Sophie's initial

request to this was significant. Odie,

who was about to put down his cup, paused. He smiled slightly and said, "Yes." . Narugi.com

Odie admitted to it quite directly and Sophie immediately asked, "Why would you do that?"

"That's a second question."

"Odie!"

Odie raised his hand slightly, and Jonah approached Sophie with a warning tone, "Ms. Sophie, please."

Odie's uncompromising attitude was clear, leaving Sophie no choice but to leave his room.

As she reached the door, Sophie paused to look back. Odie's expression was utterly unflappable, not even a hint of anxiety.

Could it be... Odie wouldn't panic even if Perry's downfall was revealed to be linked to Minton International?

With this question in mind, Sophie returned to her room.

She glanced at the wall clock. Six in the morning. If Colby could guess she was in Duskhaven, he should have already arrived at Duskhaven Airport by now...

Early morning, in Devonport at the Cloude residence.

Ricardo received a call from Booker, and he scoffed, "You mean to tell me Colby and Adler have already arrived at Duskhaven Airport?" "Yes."

Booker paused, then added, "But... we didn't see James."

Ricardo frowned, but Booker continued, "However, our people watching James say that Bea has kept him in the hospital, and he hasn't resumed control at Bake International yet."

Hearing this, Ricardo's expression relaxed, "She really did me a big favor."
