Chapter 903
Upon hearing that, Sophie’s furrowed brow softened, and she gently pulled Colby’s hand away from her mouth. “Alright, I won’t bring it up again,” she said.
The night was deep, and Polly stood outside the gates of Minton Manor, hesitant to enter. The security guard, seeing her, asked with a puzzled look, “Polly?”
Polly froze, considering running away, but then she noticed Colby’s men lurking in the shadows, keeping an eye on her. Just as she was caught in a bind, a sleek black car emerged from the estate.
She caught a glimpse of the face inside and was stunned. Was that James? What was he doing overseas? Before she could make sense of it, Jonah, who had driven James away, spotted her too.

“Boss… I, I didn’t say anything,” Polly stammered, trembling with fear.
“Did Sophie send you with a message?”
“…No.”
“No?” Odie turned to the cleaning staff, “I think when Colby brought people over earlier, my garden got messed up too. Go tidy up the garden at the entrance.”
“What?”
“And mop the floor three more times!”
