Chapter 618
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Ricardo's intentions were crystal clear to her. He thought he could use her to lure Colby and James to Duskhaven while conveniently stirring up trouble in Devonport himself.
Little did he know, he had already fallen into the trap she had laid out.
Sophie asked nonchalantly, âBy the way, Booker, I remember you were always following Mr. Ricardo. How come Mr. Ricardo left you behind and went back to Devonport alone?â
Sophie knowingly asked. A hint of panic flashed across Bookerâs face, but he quickly regained his composure and said, âMr. Odie is our important business partner. Thatâs why Mr. Ricardo sent me back.â
âIs that so? Mr. Odie must be quite influential then.â
Sophie watched as Booker blatantly lied. She had learned about Ricardo sending Booker back to Duskhaven while she was recording a show on the island.
The Cloude family had their position in Duskhaven severely damaged due to the many subsidiaries she had disrupted and acquired over the past few months.
Ricardo had initially dismissed the reports of the company's losses, but now the situation had escalated, and the company was on the brink of bankruptcy. Still, he remained oblivious and focused on dealing with S Corporation and Julian. He simply sent Booker to take charge.
Everyone involved was indeed blind... The Cloude family might not survive the next few days.
Well, it would be interesting to stay and watch how Ricardo single-handedly brought down this empire.
âWhat are you laughing at?â Odieâs words pulled Sophie back to the present.
Booker had already left at some point.
Sophie said, âI'm just thinking about how you're very influential, Mr. Odie.â
After speaking, Sophie put down her sandwich. âIâm full, Mr. Odie. Please enjoy your meal.â
Sophie turned and headed upstairs to the hotel room, just as a few new arrivals entered the hotel, immediately spotting Sophie.
One whispered, âIsnât that the woman Hunky was looking for?â
âIt seems so!â
They compared her to the photo in their hands, and it was indeed the former Mrs. Burke!
âLucky us, weâll handle her tonight and claim our reward!â
âLetâs report to the boss first!â
âRight!â
The two of them walked to the lobby, finding Odie sitting alone on the bed, sipping coffee. One approached and said, âSir, just as you suspected last night, weâve investigated, and there was no mechanical failure with the flight. Ricardo definitely has something up his sleeve and wants you to stay here!â
âAre you done?â
âDone!â
âYou can leave now.â
âYes.â
The two men slunk away.
Odie gazed out at the view of Duskhaven with a slight smile on his lips.
Indeed, things were getting interesting.
Meanwhileâ
Colby and Adler were preparing to head to Summerfield. They had calculated the timing, and leaving now would allow them to reach Summerfield faster than Odie, who needed to change flights.
âDing dingââ
Colbyâs phone pinged. He glanced at the message. It was from Ricardo: [Sophie is being held by Odie in Duskhaven.]
Colby read the message, and his pupils dilated in shock.

Adler came out, and Colby immediately said, âChange our tickets to Duskhaven!â
âWhat? Duskhaven? Didn't Odie take Ms. Sophie to Summerfield?â
