Chapter 746
“I can’t just sit back and watch you cause trouble around the boss.”
Jonah’s gaze was icy. Just as he was about to make his move, Sophie suddenly stopped retreating and said calmly, “Odie, if you’ve had your fun, come out now.”
Hearing Sophie’s words, Jonah frowned slightly. From behind a tree in the comer, Odie slowly emerged. “Jonah, stop scaring her
Jonah halted, his face full of reluctance. But since Odie had spoken, he had no choice but to follow the rule.
Sophie glared at Odie, who was standing not far away. “Having fun?”
“Jonah doesn’t trust you, so he wanted to test you. I assume Ms. Sophie wouldn’t mind.”
“Of course, I mind,” Sophie retorted, casting Jonah a cold glance. “Who knows if your fiercely loyal sidekick here might just decide to get rid of me on the spot?”
If Odie didn’t personally assured her in the hospital that without his command, Jonah wouldn’t kill her, she might have actually suspected Jonah was out to murder her.
Fortunately, this was just a test.
Odie pointed to a nearby man–made lake and asked, “This is the land Minton International is planning to develop. I’m curious to see, given your insights into real estate development, how much money this place will make in the future.”
Only then did Sophie notice that this was a development project covering thousands of acres. Such a large piece of land, if not turned into a commercial district, would be a new residential area with a significant.green belt.
“It depends on your plans, but with such a large piece of land, it’s bound to be profitable.”
This location wasn’t even suburban. With such a large piece of land, Odie would certainly make a profit, whether in a few years or over a decade, to break even.
“I plan to build the largest Summerfield Park here for Minton International,” Odie declared.
“A theme park?” Sophie asked.
“Not a theme park.” Odie’s face wore a subtle smile. “It’s a den for the upper class to squander their gold.”
Sophie instantly understood Odie’s purpose for the land.
He continued leisurely, “The rich only get richer. They have great ambitions and desires, with money that would fill hundreds of safes. By building this place, I’m helping them spend their money. They should thank me for giving them a place to indulge in excitement and pleasure, to freely unleash their desires.”
Odie walked onto a stone bridge that seemed already part of his commercial blueprint.
Sophie knew well that Minton International had remained unshaken to this day because their influence was deeply entrenched. Minton International held many people’s secrets. If these were exposed, it would topple everyone involved.
Perhaps Colby’s parents were targeted by Minton International in their attempt to bring it down, leading to their tragic retaliation. “Sophie, are you interested?”
Odie suddenly posed the question to her.
Coming back to her senses, Sophie replied, “Sure, I’m just not sure if you would entrust me with this project.”
“As long as you can help me defeat Colby and secure the treasure of Devonport for me, I’m willing to share everything here with you. I always treat my loyal subordinates well, never shortchanging them.”
Sophie rolled her eyes inwardly.
