Chapter 691
Was Odie planning to keep her locked up forever if Colby didn’t show up?
With that thought, Sophie immediately started pounding on the cellar door. “Open up! Let me out! I have something to say to Odiel
“Ms. Sophie, don’t waste your energy. No one can open the door for you without the boss‘ order.”
Sophie frowned and asked, “So, it doesn’t matter if I die in here?”
“As long as he hasn’t given the order, Ms. Sophie, I can’t open the door. It doesn’t matter if you were to die.”
Hearing Polly’s words, Sophie instantly stopped knocking.
Would Polly only wait for Odie’s order? What would make Odie let her out?
Sophie glanced at the neatly arranged bottles of red wine in the cellar, a scheming light flashing in her eyes.
An Idea struck her.
It was already evening, and Polly outside the cellar was growing suspicious due to the lack of any noise from within.
Ten hours had passed, and there was still Πα
sound.
Upstairs in the study, Odie was playing chess alone when Jonah came in with dinner, saying, “Colby’s people vanished after entering Summerfield. Our men have been searching but haven’t found where they’re staying yet. Perhaps someone is working with them from the inside.”
Odie glanced at the dinner Jonah brought in and asked, “What about the woman?”
“She’s still locked in the cellar.”
“No crying or fussing?”
“Nothing at all.”
“Did you send Jurich and dinner?”
“We followed your orders, sir. We didn’t even send water”
Ten hours without food, and still no crying or fussing?
Odie’s thoughts were in disarray, and he misplaced a chess piece.
Just then, Polly burst into the room, panicking. “Mr. Odie! There’s trouble! The cellar… something’s happened in the cellar!”
Odie immediately stood up from his chair.
The maids on the first floor hurried toward the basement cellar, each carrying buckets and water pumps. When Odie arrived, he found the cellar’s exterior already flooded to the ankles with red wine.
The cellar door hadn’t been opened yet, but so much wine had already flowed through the cracks. What did it look like inside?
commanded with a dark expression, “Open the door!”
A bad premonition surged in Odie’s heart, and b
“Yes, boss!”
Polly struggled to approach the cellar door, but before she could fully unlock it, the door was burst open by the force of the red wine.
A massive flood scattered everyone, and the wine from the cellar nearly reached the first floor.
Odie quickly stepped into the cellar, followed by Jonah yelling, “Sir! It’s dangerous!”
The wine inside was already a meter high, and even though it had spread, it reached Odie’s waist. Nearly all the wine bottles in the cellar had been tipped over and emptied.
*Sophie!”
Odie called out with a dark face, “Come out here now!”
“Cough, cough–I”
Not far away, Sophie emerged from the wine. Her white nightgown was now dyed red, and she was soaked through. Despite Sophie’s bedraggled state, she still carried a victor’s posture, which made Odie burst into laughter.
At that moment, Jonah also burst in, Odie, with a dark face, ordered him, “Take her and bring her to my
y room!”
