NovelEnglishChapter 1426
Before Sophie could even say "male masseur," she caught the look on Colby's face and immediately thought of
Odie.
"Odie! Thornton!"
At that smoment- "Achoo-!"
Odie jolted up from the couch with a sneeze just as Jonah walked in with a cup of ginger tea. Seeing Odie's
grumpy expression, Jonah asked, "Boss, do you think you should see a doctor? You look like you've got a fever."
"See a doctor for a fever? Seriously?"
Odie leaned back on the couch, clearly impatient. "Just leave the tea and scram. | need sshut-eye."
"Sure thing, boss."
Jonah placed the ginger tea on the table.
Just then, Odie's phone went off.
Irritated, Odie answered, "Yeah?"
"Odie, are you doing this on purpose?"
"What? You're not enjoying it? It's our hottest service right now."

Odie lounged back on the couch, adding, "If that's it, I'm hanging up. Stop bugging me."
With that, he ended the call.
But almost immediately, the phone rang again.
Odie picked it up with a sigh, "Hello! | told you, don't botherunless it's important!"
"Mr. Odie, long tno see."
The voice on the other end was deep and slightly eerie.
Odie's eyes widened, and a chill ran down his spine.
How could this be...
Joseph was supposed to be dead.
Odie pulled the phone away slightly, noticing it was an unknown number.
Then the voice spoke again: "See the black sedan downstairs? Cdown in ten minutes, and we'll talk face-to-
face." With that, the call ended with a cold, mechanical click.
Odie shot up from the couch.
That voice... no, it was a voice changer!
Someone was using Joseph's voice changer!
Joseph was dead, that was a solid fact.
Sensing something was off, Odie quickly tried to call Sophie, but a text from the unknown number had already
arrived.
IIf word gets out about our meeting, she won't make it out alive!
Right after, a photo cthrough.
It showed Sophie and Colby leaving the Victoria Cosmetic Surgery Clinic, snapped from a sniper's angle.
A shiver ran through Odie's bones.
Who could it be?
Later that afternoon, Sophie's phone wouldn't stop ringing.
She answered it in her bedroom and
heard
son's anxious voice, "Ms
Please open the door, fm

outside your house."
"What happened?"
Sophie immediately sensed something was wrong from his tone.
"The boss... he's missing."
"Missing?"
Sophie got up quickly, turning to Colby. "Colby, can you get the door?" "Sure."
Sophie dressed hurriedly and headed downstairs.
There, Jonah stood at the door, visibly worried. "He's gone. He was here when | brought the ginger tea, but when
I cback to collect the dishes, he'd vanished!"
"Could he have gone out without telling you?"
"No way. He was sick and said he was going to sleep. How could he suddenly leave? Besides, | always with him
when he steps out. He wouldn't leave alone. And in
Devonport, he's unfamiliar with the
place, especially with a fever. Where could he have gone?"
