Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

"I never thought I'd see the day when the famous Mr. Odie would look like a drowned rat."

"You're not exactly a picture of grace yourself," Odie replied, unfazed. "Besides, I've been in worse situations more times than I can count. Your teasing doesn't faze me."

Sophie couldn't help but ask, "Really? From the look of things, it seems like you've had quite

a few close calls."

Odie shrugged nonchalantly. "Well, considering I'm the head honcho at Minton International, it's no surprise. There are at least a dozen people in Summerfield alone who'd love to see me out of the picture."

"That makes sense."

Given the chaos in Summerfield, if someone wanted Odie dead, they'd surely pull out all the

stops.

The tampered brakes seemed like a hasty decision,

Once back at the Minton estate, Sophie quickly showered and stepped out of the bathroom, where Polly handed her some clothes.

While drying her hair, Sophie asked casually, "Where's Odie?"

"He is in the living room."

"Did they find out who messed with the brakes?"

"Seems like it."

"Who was it?"

"It was... Ms. Leticia."

"Leticia?" Sophie frowned. Leticia adored Odie; how could she cut the brake lines and put him in danger?

Sophie hurriedly changed and rushed to the staircase on the second floor. Looking down into the living room, she saw Odie sitting on the sofa while a security guard from the Summerfield hotel was pinned to the ground.

"Mr. Odie, please have mercy! Mr. Odie..."

"Did Leticia make you do it?"

"Yes... it was Ms. Leticia. I was just paid to do a job. She only asked me to cut the brake lines; I swear I don't know anything else!"

The guard was trembling. If he had known the car belonged to Odie, not even ten times the money would have made him dare to tamper with those brakes!

"Take him away. Execute him."

"Yes, Mr. Odie"

Jonah grabbed the guard by the collar, dragging him away. Alarmed, Sophie quickly descended the stairs, shouting, "Wait!"

Odie's expression turned sour. "Who told you you can come down?"

Sophie retorted, "What did you just say? You wanna kill him?"

"Is there a problem?"

Odie seemed as indifferent as if he were discussing the weather.

"He was just paid to do a job. A severe reprimand should suffice. Why kill him?"

Odie looked puzzled. "Why are you making such a fuss? He tried to harm me, so I'm killing

him. Isn't that normal?"

"Normal? Even in ancient times, you couldn't just take a life so recklessly."

"What do you suggest then?"

"Throw him in the water."

"To drown? Fine, let's do that."

Sophie was exasperated. "I meant as a punishment, not to kill him. Can't

Odie rubbed his temples. "Fine, have it your way."

Hearing this, Jonah frowned. "Boss..."

"Do as Ms. Sophie suggests. Spare his life."

Yes."

As Jonah was leaving, he shot Sophie a look full of dissatisfaction.

Odie looked Sophie over and said, "You still haven't answered my m question Who allowed you to come down?"

"I heard you'd found the culprit, so I came to check. Little did I know, I'd hear you ordering an execution. Mr. Odie, you're too harsh."
