Odie scowled, his face a thundercloud.”Babe, I think we’ve had enough drama for one night. I’m gonna go start the car.””Alright,” she replied.As Colby made his way out, he threw a glance at Angelo. It was just a fleeting look, but it sent chills down Angelo’s spine. Colby had a presence that was hard to ignore.How on earth could anyone think the Pollards could stand up to Colby? Even the boldest member of the Pollard family felt a shiver in his presence. What chance did anyone else have?”Mr. Pollard, you remember the deal where I forked out fifty million for you to work for me, right?” Sophie asked.”Of course,” Angelo replied nonchalantly.Sophie looked puzzled for a moment, prompting Angelo to quickly add, “At Emerging News, I definitely remember.””Good to know,” Sophie said, turning on her heel and walking away.Angelo stood there, scratching his head. She asked just that and left?”Jonah, get this place cleaned up. We’re outta here,” Odie commanded, clearly losing interest in the event. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped and turned to Vanessa. “Ms. Vanessa, since the engagement party’s a bust, let’s call off the wedding too.””What did you say?” Vanessa stared at Odie in disbelief. She had lost her best friend Sandy and tarnished her reputation abroad for this engagement!And now Odie wanted to call it off just like that?
Vanessa grabbed Odie’s arm. “You promised me! You can’t just back out!”Odie shrugged, his tone indifferent. “I did promise, but only if our engagement was beneficial to me.”He then glanced at Angelo, who straightened up under Odie’s hostile gaze, trying to maintain his composure.”Thanks to the Pollards, not a singlebusiness willing to work with your family dares to side with me now. So, the engagement doesn’t really matter anymore,” Odie continued. en.swhovels.net”But I-“”I’ve already compensated Sophie ten million on your behalf. I’ve done more than enough. Ms. Vanessa, we’re done. And unlike Colby, I hate dealing with trouble. If you come looking for me like you did for him, I might have someone-or maybe a dog-chase you away.” Then, Odie left the hall without a backward glance.Vanessa turned pale and immediately looked at Sandy. “Sandy…””Don’t call my name! From now on, you’re not my friend!” Sandy snapped, her brows furrowed.Turning to Angelo, she said, “Bro, let’s go.”Angelo nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the Pollards all filed out of the hall, leaving Vanessa alone in the empty space.
