Just taking precautions so you don't outsmart us again." Hearing this, Sophie sighed and put on the blindfold herself. She already knew about Odie's grand mansion purchase in the city center anyway. According to their plan, Colby should be guarding the outskirts of Minton Estate by now.
Vanessa, sitting in the front seat, glanced at Sophie in the rearview mirror, feeling a tinge of unease. "What are you planning to do with Sophie?" "Ms. Vanessa, you've achieved your goal. Why worry about her now?" "Are... are you going to kill her?" Vanessa's voice trembled. If Sophie returned to Colby alive, then everything she had done today would be for nothing.
Odie raised an eyebrow. "Do you want her dead or alive, Ms. Vanessa?" The question hung in the air, and Vanessa found herself at a loss. Did she want Sophie dead? She had never killed anyone before. Shoud Sophie be alive? That meant she'd never have Colby to herself. "You only get one choice, Ms. Vanessa. Think carefully before you answer," Odie said.
"I..." Sophie, sensing Vanessa's hesitation, interjected. "Mr. Odie, don't trouble Ms. Vanessa. Letmake the decision for her. Killingwould be just fine." Sophie's willingness to face death stunned Vanessa, her face reflecting her shock.

Vanessa can't decide, I'll make the decision for her..." Before Odie could finish, Vanessa blurted out, "Kill her! I want her dead!" The moment she said it, Vanessa realized the gravity of her words.dt was her first tholding someone's life in her hands. Was this what it felt like to wield the power of life and death? Sophie smiled faintly. "Mr. Odie, did you hear that? Ms. Vanessa wantsdead. Aren't you going to do it?" Odie shot Sophie a cold glance, his voice low. "It seems you really wish to die."
"Mr. Odie, after everything you've putthrough, I'm already a shell of myself. Death would be a release." "Oh? Why not have Colby kill you then?" "Because can't bear to leave him.
Now that I'm in your hands, if you kill me, I won't have to worry about Colby suffering on my behalf. Later, Colby can seek revenge for me. Two birds, one stone."
"You wish!" Odie retorted coldly. "Sophie, you're quite the schemer, expectingto kill you and them have Colby kill melin return. You're quite something." Vanessa, catching the implication in Odie's words, anxiously asked, "Mr. Odie! What do you mean by that? Aren't you planning to kill her?" "Ms. Vanessa, I've fulfilled my promise to you. What happens to Sophie now is none of your concern. I hope you understand that." X
