Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 545

"Yes, sir."

Gattlin immediately had someone grab Johns by the collar and drag him away like an animal.

Sophie felt a chill in her heart.

Odie's actions were ruthless, but it seemed like everyone here was already accustomed to it, and not a single person planned to intervene.

Johns was considered a business owner, yet he was like an ant in Odie's hands, easily crushed at will.

Soon, Odie's gaze landed on Sophie. She instinctively turned her head away, successfully catching Odie's attention.

Noticing Odie's gaze, Gattlin asked, "Mr. Odie, do you want me to call that lady over?"

Odie asked indifferently, "Whose is she?"

"She's likely a senior executive at Aldridge Global."

Hearing she was under Gordon's management, Odie raised an eyebrow. "Then I must personally take a look."

Odie got up, and Gattlin was surprised that Sophie was worth Odie’s attention

Under everyone's gaze, Odie approached Sophie, and it was too late for her to leave.

Ricardo also noticed the situation. Although Sophie was wearing a mask, Ricardo recognized at a glance that Sophie was the person Odie was about to converse with.

"How is she here?" Ricardo frowned deeply.

By now, Sophie had no escape.

"Are you one of Gordon's people?"

"Sort of."

Odie continued, "A lover, or..."

"Mr. Odie, that's private, and I'd rather not answer." Sophie firmly refused to answer Odie's question.

Gattlin coughed.

If it were the old Odie, he might have resorted to violence. But now, Odie didn't seem to intend to trouble Sophie. He slightly smiled, moving closer to Sophie. "Didn't Gordon tell you when he sent you here?"

Sophie frowned.

Odie's tone was full of mockery. "Here, I am the king. Everyone must listen to me, and you must also obey."

Gattlin was mildly surprised to see Odie interested in Sophie. After so many years, Odie had lost interest in such matters. Someone could still capture Odie's interest. That was unexpected.

"Don't worry, Mr. Odie, I'll start the investigation."

Meanwhile, Sophie had just escaped from Odie when Ricardo approached her. It was too late for Sophie to leave. Ricardo grabbed her arm and led her to a secluded corner.

Ricardo made sure there were no cameras around and finally let go of Sophie. "Ms. Sophie, do you realize where you are?"

Sophie replied directly, "Not yet, but I think I'm about to find out."

Ricardo frowned deeply, his tone full of warning, "This is no place for women. It doesn't matter why you came here, and I kindly advise you to leave early. The murky waters of Minton International are not for wading."

Hearing Ricardo's words, Sophie raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Ricardo, you're being so kind as to warn me. Have you forgotten how much I cost you before?"

Ricardo was momentarily speechless. He was aware Sophie had cost him a significant sum of money and knew she was now his competitor, but he had acted instinctively just now and couldn't even explain why.

"Consider my goodwill taken for granted then. If you wish to get close to Minton International, go ahead, but don't blame me if you get hurt."

Saying this, Ricardo turned to leave.

But after a few steps, Ricardo turned back, frowning, "Here, women are seen as commodities. With your beauty, it's better to be cautious."
