Chapter 768

After hearing that, Odie paused for a moment and said, "So, she's your rival in love? Are you jealous of James, and that's why you dislike her?"

"Jealous? Where did you get that idea?"

"Then why does her presence make you dislike Ricardo?"

As Odie's explanations got more confusing, Sophie, feeling muddled, replied, "Anyway, Nichole is always against me. I don't like her. Plus, she was the other woman in my previous marriage. The enemy of my friend is my enemy! It's perfectly reasonable for me to dislike her and Ricardo."

"You're right, an enemy of a friend is indeed an enemy. Since you don't want me to help him, I'll do you this favor."

"Really?" "Really."

Sophie looked skeptically at Odie and asked, "You're being surprisingly agreeable, aren't you?"

"What? Don't believe me? Then I'll go right now and talk to him about the loan."

"Don't!"

Sophie immediately called out to stop Odie, and Odie smirked slightly at her

reaction.

Realizing she had been played, Sophie glared at Odie, "Fine, Mr. Odie, go if you wish, but don't blame me when you lose money!"

After saying that, Sophie simply laid back down.

Odie stopped teasing Sophie and said, "Get some rest, and don't forget you're now working for me."

Just then, Polly entered the room, "Sir, the doctor has already been called."

"Have him check Ms. Sophie's wounds. They got wet today and might get infected."

"Yes, boss."

Odie looked back at Sophie lying on the bed and said, "Don't forget, I'll be testing your knowledge before tomorrow morning."

After Odie left, Sophie grabbed a pillow nearby and threw it towards the door.

"Tell me to rest well on one hand, and on the other, ask me to memorize data. He must be crazy!"

Polly entered with the doctor and said, "Ms. Sophie, he is really concerned about you. This is the first time I've seen him care so much for someone." "He's not concerned about me."

For Odie, the special attention he had for her was more out of novelty and because of her connection with Colby.

Odie considered Colby a sworn enemy, so naturally, he was aggressive towards Colby's woman, a primal instinct.

When the doctor approached Sophie, she was momentarily stunned upon seeing his face.

"Ms. Sophie?"

Realizing Sophie's distraction, Polly stepped forward and asked, "Ms. Sophie, are you feeling alright?"

Sophie came to her senses and shook her head, saying, "I'm just a bit hungry, Polly. Could you please make me something to eat from the kitchen?" "Sure, then please, Dr. William, proceed to examine Ms. Sophie's wounds."

Dr. William nodded slightly, embodying the air of a gentleman.

After Polly left, Dr. William finally took off his mask and let out a long sigh of relief.

He was clearly just a doctor! How had he suddenly become a spy?

"Why are you here?" Sophie lowered her voice. She had asked William to take Colby away!

Dr. William said, "Colby went to gather his men. He was worried about you, Ms. Sophie, so he sent me to check on you. Seeing you safe and sound puts

my mind at ease."

Sophie frowned and stretched out her arms, saying, "Do these wounds look like I'm safe and sound to you?"

Dr. William seriously said, "Ms. Sophie, I have a favor to ask."

"What is it?"

"Please, do not show these wounds to Colby. I fear he might take it out on me."
