Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) -
Chapter 690
Watching the amusement in Odie's eyes, Sophie said coldly, "The CEO of Minton International has stooped to kidnapping. If this gets out to the media, I doubt you would continue ruling over Summerfield." Everyone in Summerfield feared Odie, and his legend was known far beyond its borders. Yet, no one knew that Odie was nothing but a twisted soul with a penchant for perversion!
"Colby has done far dirtier deeds than I have. What, he didn't tell you? It seems Colby hasn't been entirely honest with you. Let me guess, either he doesn't trust you, or... he's afraid to tell you." Odie casually picked up a rose from the dining table, his interest piqued. "I'm really curious. Would you still want to be her wife if you knew the things Colby has done?"
Colby and Odie had both clawed their way up from the same grimy trenches, struggling to survive in a figurative swamp, but Colby had been the luckier one.
At that moment, Jonah received a tip through his earpiece. Furrowing his brow, he said, "Boss, Colby's men are here."
Sophie instinctively wanted to stand up, but Odie's cold gaze quickly landed on her, forcing her to feign calmness. She said, "At the end of the day, I have no beef with you, Odie. What do you hope to achieve by capturing me? Colby would never risk everything just for one woman."
"You're right," Odie's expression cooled. "I thought if his woman was taken, he would come to Summerfield himself. Seems I was mistaken."
Odie grasped Sophie's chin. He looked at her beautiful face and sneered, "Turns out you're not that important to Colby after all."
Losing interest, Odie let go and casually waved his hand. "Take care of it. Don't let Colby's men dirty Summerfield."
"Yes, boss."
Jonah quickly relayed the orders.
Sophie felt a chill of terror. In this land, Odie truly had no restraints.
"Lock her up."
"Yes, boss."
Jonah roughly grabbed Sophie's arm, with Polly following closely behind.
The Minton estate was like a maze seeming to have a century of
history As Sophie surveyed the net
terrain, she also noticed Jonah leading her towards a basement.
Soon, Sophie found herself in a wine cellar filled with the aroma of wine and a significantly colder

temperature. Content belove
Suddenly, Jonah let go, locking her in the wine cellar. He coldly instructed Polly, "Don't let her escape."
Polly nodded repeatedly, and once Jonah had left, she promptly shut the large door of the underground cellar.
The cellar had a small vent, barely allowing any light to seep through. Rows of neatly arranged barrels. filled the space, all storing aged wine, and the temperature was much colder than outside.
There was no blanket, a bed, or any living facilities. All that was present were rows of red wine.
Sophie, exhausted, leaned against a barrel, her mind continuously pondering Odie's next move.
Odie had captured her to lure Colby out. Colby hadn't come in person, and there had to be a reason for that.
