Chapter 1125
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
The gala, held every three years, was the epitome of exclusivity. Only the crème de la crème, after a grueling selection process, could grace this prestigious event. As you know, this brand's a big deal internationally, and in our circles, it's considered the height of luxury. The ladies attending must be between eighteen and twenty-fiveâany older and youâre out. And they have strict checks on height, weight, and figure."
Sandy loved these kinds of events.
Sophieâs eyes flitted around the crowd outside the gala, realizing that everyone else was dressed in black evening gowns. She stood out like a sore thumb in her white dress.
"Sophie, are you even listening? I'm trying to educate you here!"
"Yeah, yeah, keep educating."
Sophie scanned the venue, trying to spot any Minton family members.
Sure enough, she saw a few people in black outside, patrolling with the Minton family's crest on their uniforms, which gave her some peace of mind.
But soon, worry crept back in.
The Gibbs family controlled the venue.
Daniel was a man who followed the money, changing allegiances as easily as the wind changes direction. If he betrayed them, what would happen to Odieâs people...
Meanwhile, Odie was getting ready to head out for the gala.
Jonah escorted Odie to the car. As Odie got in, he asked, almost offhandedly, "Everything set?"
"All set," Jonah confirmed. "Our folks are on the down-low, keeping an eye on Ms. Sophie. And since the venue is the Gibbs familyâs Pearl Hotel, we shouldnât have any problems."
"Good."
Odie nodded.
A Gibbs family establishment did feel somewhat safer.
Anyone thinking of causing trouble would need to remember whose turf Summerfield really was.

ï¤Chapter 782 Just then, Jonahâs phone rang. He answered on speaker.
"Boss, weâre stuck at the entrance of the Pearl Hotel. They wonât let us in."
"Tell the manager you're with the Minton family."
"Weâve said that so many times, our mouths are dry! But they wonât budge, saying this gala is too important to risk any disturbance."
"Then push your way in!" Odie snapped. "Who do they think they are, blocking the Minton family?"
"Mr. Odie! Weâre really sorry, but we're just following the rules. Rest assured, weâll keep Ms. Sophie and Ms. Sandy safe. Could you do us a favor and have your men wait outside? Just a couple of hours, and itâll be over."
Hearing that Odie might take drastic action, the manager quickly tried to placate him.
Odie usually wasnât one for appeasement, but considering the galaâs potential importance for Sophie, causing a scene might make her stand out even more.
Odie took a deep breath and said, "Fine, wait outside. But if anything happens to Sophie on your watch, youâre done for!"
"Yes, yes, absolutely! Rest assured, there will be no mistakes! Our men will protect Ms. Sophie and Ms. Sandy, ensuring they donât get so much as a scratch!"
With a wave, Odie signaled Jonah to hang up.
"Boss, are we really letting this slide?"
