Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 885

"Ms. Sandy, you have to be kidding. Look around, do you see any sign of Mrs. Costello?"

Odie said with a hint of mischief, "If you still don't believe me, Ms. Sandy, go ahead and search the place."

"You! You must have hidden her somewhere!" Sandy fumed, turning to Caelum, "Dad, you see how Odie's treating me? And the shady things he's involved in! How could I marry a man like him? I'd rather die than go through with this wedding!"

Caelum took a deep breath, looking at Odie, and said, "Sandy is my dearest daughter. I agreed to this marriage because I thought you were a man of integrity, but now it seems you're not fit to be Sandy's husband. Let's call off this engagement."

Odie frowned at Caelum's words, "Caelum..."

"No need to say more. Even though the marriage is off, our business dealings can continue. Consider it compensation from the Pollard family to the Mintons for any embarrassment."

Caelum's words eased the tension in Odie's face.

In truth, he was fed up with Sandy's princess-like attitude. His proposal had always been a business move. Now that the Pollard family was breaking off the engagement but still wanted to collaborate, he was more than happy.

"Since Ms. Sandy has no intention of marrying me, I won't force it," Odie said. "This place is a mess. Let me escort you out."

"Thank you, Mr. Odie. You stay and clean up this mess," Caelum said curtly, leading his entourage out without another glance.

As they left, Sandy shot Odie a glare, but he remained expressionless.

"Boss, is it okay to call off the engagement?" one of his men asked.

"Caelum himself promised, and our collaboration with the Pollard family is still on. What's the problem?" Odie responded nonchalantly, but then something clicked. He turned to Jonah, "Who told you to come down? Where's Sophie?"

"Sophie is locked in a room upstairs. She shouldn't be discovered," Jonah replied.

"Not discovered? I'm not worried about that. I'm worried she'll run!" Odie snapped, striding quickly upstairs.

In the suite upstairs, Sophie had opened the window, feeling feverish. Though the aromatic scent in the banquet hall was meant to enhance the mood, it affected her body.

There was a knock at the door. Sophie didn't dare open it or make a sound.

The lock clicked, and Sophie realized the person entering was Logan.

Sophie asked warily, "What are you doing at the Mintons' banquet?"

Logan's voice was deep and husky as he stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, "Come with me."

"Wait... hold on!" Sophie said, confused, as footsteps approached from the hallway.

Logan frowned slightly, ready to draw his gun.

"If you're here to rescue me, I appreciate it," Sophie said.

Logan paused, realizing something, "You're here with Odie willingly?"

"Yes, but if Odie comes in and replaces us, I might be fine, but you'll be done for!"

Just as Sophie finished speaking, there was a knock at the door from Odie. "Sophie, open the door."
