Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 764

"I never thought I'd see the day when the famous Mr. Odie would look like a drowned rat."

"You're not exactly a picture of grace yourself," Odie replied, unfazed. "Besides, I've been in worse situations more times than I can count. Your teasing doesn't faze me."

Sophie couldn't help but ask, "Really? From the look of things, it seems like you’ve had quite a few close calls."

Odie shrugged nonchalantly. "Well, considering I'm the head honcho at Minton International, it's no surprise. There are at least a dozen people in Summerfield alone who'd love to see me out of the picture."

"That makes sense."

Given the chaos in Summerfield, if someone wanted Odie dead, they'd surely pull out all the stops.

The tampered brakes seemed like a hasty decision.

Once back at the Minton estate, Sophie quickly showered and stepped out of the bathroom, where Polly handed her some clothes.

While drying her hair, Sophie asked casually, "Where's Odie?"

"He is in the living room."

"Did they find out who messed with the brakes?"

"Seems like it."

"Who was it?"

"It was... Ms. Leticia."

"Leticia?" Sophie frowned. Leticia adored Odie; how could she cut the brake lines and put him in danger?

Sophie hurriedly changed and rushed to the staircase on the second floor. Looking down into the living room, she saw Odie sitting on the sofa while a security guard from the Summerfield hotel was pinned to the ground.

"Mr. Odie, please have mercy! Mr. Odie..."

"Did Leticia make you do it?"

"Yes... it was Ms. Leticia. I was just paid to do a job. She only asked me to cut the brake lines; I swear I don't know anything else!"

The guard was trembling. If he had known the car belonged to Odie, not even ten times the money would have made him dare to tamper with those brakes!

"Throw him in the water."

"To drown? Fine, let's do that."

Sophie was exasperated. "I meant as a punishment, not to kill him. Can't you think of any other way?"

Odie rubbed his temples. "Fine, have it your way."

Hearing this, Jonah frowned. "Boss..."

"Do as Ms. Sophie suggests. Spare his life."

"...Yes."

As Jonah was leaving, he shot Sophie a look full of dissatisfaction.

Odie looked Sophie over and said, "You still haven't answered my question. Who allowed you to come down?"

"I heard you'd found the culprit, so I came to check. Little did I know, I'd hear you ordering an execution. Mr. Odie, you're too harsh."
