NovelEnglishOdie's words had a kind of mesmerizing charm, and by the end of their conversation, Vanessa was almost convinced. "But what about Sandy?" "She's your friend, right? If she's really your friend, she'll understand. Besides, this is just a business arrangement, no real feelings involved. We're not really getting married. We're just trying to make Colby feel spressure." Hearing this, Vanessa nodded. "Alright, I'll get the dinner ready, but... Mr. Odie, you have to helpexplain everything to Sandy afterward!" "Of course." Odie smiled, but as Vanessa's anxiousness grew, his smile faded.
Jonah, standing nearby, asked, "Boss, are you really going to explain things to Ms. Sandy?" "Explain? Yeah, right." Odie scoffed. "Once I'm engaged to Vanessa, I'll have access to the White family's overseas resources. With those, I can compete with Colby internationally. Who cares about their petty issues?" "So, the part about not really getting married was a lie too?" "Vanessa's just an orphan from the White family. If it weren't for their resources, why would I get engaged to her? She's so naive. We've already organized the dinner and invited the media. The whole world will know about the Minton family's alliance with the White family. How could we possibly call off the engagement?" Jonah frowned. "But what if Vanessa and Colby make demands later, and Colby agrees for the sake of those resources?" "Agree to what? To give up Sophie?" Odie shot Jonah a look. "Do you think Colby looks like someone who would give up Sophie?" "Well..." "Besides, Colby hates being threatened. He won't agree to any of Vanessa's demands." Jonah couldn't hold back anymore. "Isn't this basically a scam marriage?" Odie glanced at Jonah and casually tossed the book he was holding at him. "So, what if it is? If she were as carefree as Sophie, she wouldn't fall for it. It's her own fault for being gullible. Who else can she blame?" Rubbing his sore arm, Jonah said, "You're right, boss..." "Now, get the outfit ready for the dinner." "Yes, boss." "And send an invitation to Colby and his wife too." "Boss, are you trying to provoke them openly?" Odie frowned. "Why all the questions? Just do it!" "... Yes, boss." Meanwhile, at the Costello family home.
"Odie's getting engaged to Vanessa?" Sophie stared at the invitation in hand, still warm from the printer er The event was scheduled for 7:30 PM two days from now at the Dragonvein Hotel.
Sophie frowned. "What is Odie thinking? Breaking off an engagement with Sandy only to turn around and get engaged to My to turn Vanessa? Isn't he afraid of being called a heartless playboy?"
Colby, sitting nearby with a newspaper, didn't e lookup. HOM always been shameless."
Sophie was puzzled. "What about Vanessa? Isn't she friends with M Sandy? Isn't she worried about being called a homewrecker?" "I don't know, I'm not close with her."
Seeing Colby's indifference, Sophie said, annoyed, "I'm serious here!" Peter Grill Let it Loose! CH/F-PSE
