Chapter 817
“You…”
Jonah’s gaze turned icy in an instant. Inside the room, Odie spoke calmly, “Jonah, show some respect to Ms. Sandy.”
“Did you hear that? I’m your boss’s lifesaver and his fiancée. If you give me that look one more time, I’ll have him gouge out your eyes and feed them to the dogs!”
With that, Sandy spun on her heel and headed back to her suite.
Jonah frowned deeply, while Odie let out a cold chuckle. “Lucky woman. If she had come just a bit earlier, I would have made sure she was burnt alive in that fire!”
“Boss, she is Caelum’s daughter after all…”
“I know. Otherwise, her words alone would have been enough to warrant her death a hundred times over.”
“So, what’s the plan now, boss?”
Odie replied nonchalantly, “Get me a place to stay.”
“I’ve already had someone arrange it.”
“Make it next to Sophie’s apartment.”
“What?” Jonah thought he misheard. “Boss, that woman is trouble.”
They had initially thought Sophie was merely relying on James‘ resources, and later on, Colby, to gain some fame. But now, they had discovered that not only did Sophie have the support of the Dennis family, the Tredgold family, and the Aldridge family, but she was also the power behind the S Corporation.
Colby protected her with his life. If Odie tried to move against Sophie again, Colby might actually kill him.
The more they provoked her, the more trouble they would invite.
“I don’t plan on provoking her, but dy despises Sophie. We have to ease her worries.” Odie sneered.

Jonah was silent for a moment, then said, “Alright, I’ll handle it.”
As Jonah was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something. “Boss, there’s one more thing.”
“Go on.”
“Do you remember the daughter from the White family?”
“Vanessa?” Odie frowned, “What about her?”
“I found out that last time Ms. Sandy wanted to go against Sophie, it was to stand up for the White family’s daughter. Back in the day, the old man from the White family handed Vanessa over to Colby, and it was well–known overseas. Now that Colby is about to marry Sophie, if we use Vanessa to spread rumors about Colby abandoning her, we could shake the loyalty of the White family’s old guards. That would be very useful in dismantling Colby’s power.”
Odie raised an eyebrow, considering. “Vanessa…”
Vanessa had always been Colby’s shadow, and Odie knew of her feelings for him when her father was still alive. However, Colby had no interest in her, so Odie hadn’t thought much of it.
Now, it seemed Vanessa might just be a key player.
Outside, a bodyguard knocked on the door. “Boss, Mr. Burke is here.”
“Let him in.”
“Yes.”
The bodyguard let James in, and Odie asked, “What do you want?”
“I heard the Mintons have developed a new drug.”
“That’s right.”
James spoke coolly, “I want one.”
