NovelEnglishIn the heart of the Costello family mansion, Polly was dragged before Sophie by one of Colby's men.
"Don't move!" Polly's face was ashen. The moment she saw Sophie, she lowered her head, filled with panic and confusion.
Sophie's voice was icy. "Polly, I've kept my end of the bargain. People should keep their promises, right? Did you give what I wanted to Odie already?" "I'm sorry, Ms. Sophie... I'm really sorry... That phone wouldn't have been any use to you. I had to give it to Odie to earn his trust!" "What are you talking about?" "I checked that phone after I got off the boat. It was empty, nothing on it at all. A phone like that could never incriminate Odie! I had to get back to his side." "So, you sacrificedto gain Odie's trust?" Sophie's tone grew even colder. She could understand Polly betraying her to survive, but she couldn't fathom the repeated deceit.

"Ms. Sophie... I'm really sorry, but I hope you can understand me. I couldn't just let it go. I had to be by Odie's side to gain his trust. I wanted to find evidence of his crimes!" "And did you?" "I..." "You've been around Odie for a long time, haven't you? Does Odie trust you? Or have you gotten close to the core of the Minton family?" "I..." "You've been nothing more than a servant in the Minton household, harboring hatred and surviving day by day, without ever considering how to truly defeat youAll these years, and you still haven't earned his trust, yet you've doomed me!" Sophie's words hit hard, leaving Polly looking miserable.
For years, she had thought about revenge every single day, but her capabilities were limited. She couldn't manage it.
Each day, she consoled herself with the thought that as tpassed, Odie would surely start to trust her, and eventually, she'd get close to the core of the Minton family! Even when Leticia died, she naively thought Odie would use her as a pawn against Daniel.
But Odie had completely forgotten about her, abandoning both the Gibbs family and her! Odie's alliance through marriage with the Pollard family abroad had almost driven her to despair.
It wasn't until Sophie appeared before her that she finally thought she could prove her worth. Yet, in the end, she messed it up.
"Do whatever you want with me. I don't care!" Polly's demeanor was one of resignation.

Fear was written all over Polly's face.
Staying with Sophie, her situation might be bearable. But if she sent ve back to the Minton family, Odie would surely suspect her of conspiring with Sophie and Colby, and he might actually kill her!
