Chapter 713
Sophie’s memory from her past life seemed to be accurate. According to the timeline, Odie was set to marry into the prestigious Gibbs family in a few years. This would undoubtedly elevate his status in Summerfield to unprecedented heights.
If that were the case, would her parents and Colby’s parents‘ quest for vengeance be hopeless?
“Ms. Sophie, here is the lounge, Wayne informed Sophie, leading her inside. She nodded in acknowledgment.
“Ms. Sophie, please rest up. Ill have some food sent over for you.”
“Thank you, Wayne.”
“You’re welcome.”
Once Wayne was gone, Sophie opened the door and looked around, surprised to find the lounge area completely deserted.
It appeared Odie hadn’t instructed Wayne to have someone watch over her. This was a pleasant surprise indeed
Soon, a few waitresses came in carrying several dishes. Sophie returned to her original spot on the couch as the waitresses set the dishes in front of her. One of them looked very familiar Sophie asked, “You’m Sandra, right? We met a few hours ago.
It was indeed a few hours earlier that Odie had brought her to Sandra’s table.
Sandra smiled and said, Tm surprised you remember me. These are our restaurant’s signature dishes. If there’s anything else you’d like, please let us know, and we’ll prepare it for you.”
“No, that’s okay. I have an upset stomach. Could you tell me where the restroom is?”
*Just outside and to the left”
“Thank you.”
Sophie got up to leave, and Sandra suddenly asked, “Ms. Sophie, would you like me to accompany you?”
“No, that’s alright. I can manage on my own.
Sophie offered a polite smile and then turned to leave.
Sandras previously smiling face tumed into one of disdain and scom. “She’s just a woman using Mc. Odie to climb her way up the ladder, Why should we serve her?”
“Exactly. If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t be reduced to waiting tables.”
A trace of venom crossed Sandra’s eyes.
Sandra wouldn’t have lost her dealer position if Sophie hadn’t captivated that gambler.
In the Minton Casino, everyone was desperately climbing the ranks. Sandra had worked hard to get to where she was, only to be outdone by someone using her looks.
How could she not harbor resentment?
*Just wait until Ms. Leticia arrives. I wonder how long she’ll keep smiling then!”
With that, Sandra spat into the food intended for Sophie.
up then left the lounge.
The group
Meanwhile, Sophie was quickly navigating the second floor. The lounge, billiard room, and mahjong room–all seemed ordinary, while the gambling took place on the first floor.
The building had dozens of floors. What else was above?
Thinking this, Sophie approached the elevator, where she saw two security guards Everyone going upstairs had to swipe a card.
Sophie instinctively wanted to leave but was spotted by the guards, who frowned and commanded, “Stop right there!”
Sophie froze, and one of the guards approached, asking. “You’re a new face. Where are you from?”
Sophie forced a smile and said, “1. I’m with Mr. Odie.”
“With Mr Odie?”
The two guards exchanged a skeptical look, obviously doubting her.
As one of them reached for a walkie–talkie, alarm bells went off in Sophie’s mind.
