Chapter 757 "Shaken? What kind of man is Colby? Just one word from his grandfather and he's locked up by the Costellos. Can't even save his own woman. Pathetic! I won't change my resolve. Don't worry, Mr. Odle. In this world, the only person you can rely on is yourself." "Well said." Odie's lips curled into a smirk. "Once we take Colby down, I'll hand him over to you. You can do whatever you want-whips, thors, you nit. 11 make sure he begs for death but can't find it." Sophie felt a chill run down her spine at Odie's words, but she kept her cool facade. "Alright, I don't think that day is far off." Sophie followed Odie into the banquet hall. As soon as they entered, everyone raised their glasses.

This new woman is Mr. Odie's latest flame. He brought her here to the Gibbs family dinner to show her off!" Gasps of surprise filled the room.
Everyone knew Ms. Leticia was supposed to be the future lady of the Minton family. Now it seemed she might have to step aside.
"We always knew the Gibbs family's eldest daughter was a stunner, but I didn't expect there to be someone in Summerfield even more beautiful than Ms. Leticia," "Sure, Ms. Leticia is gorgeous, but even beauty gets old. If I were Mr. Odie, I'd be tempted to switch things up too." Upstairs, Leticia's face turned pale as she overheard the whispers. She wasn't seriously hurt from being pushed down the stairs by Odie, but a cut on her forehead marred her beauty.
the Daniel had sent her to stay at the Summerfield Hotel, worried she would be a burden to the Gibbs family.

"But Ms. Leticia, Mr. Gibbs said-" "If you don't listen to me, I'll jump from here and make the Gibbs family the biggest joke in Summerfield!" Leticia's face twisted with fury. The maid, terrified that Leticia might actually jump, knew her too well from her long service at the Gibbs family. If she didn't do as Leticia demanded, Leticia would surely go through with her threat.
This dinner had gathered all the elites of Devonport. If they saw Leticia jumping in her nightgown, it would be a disaster for the Gibbs family! Mr. Gibbs would surely kill them if that happened!
"Yes, Miss. I'll get you a formal gown right away. Please, don't do anything reckless The maid hurried off.
Leticia glared icily at Sopble, who was downstairs army in arm with Odie.
She had her sights on this man, and she wouldn't let another woman lay a finger on him.
