Chapter 873
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Sophie spoke, keeping a close watch on Odie's face. When he nodded in agreement, she finally let out a breath she didnât know she was holding.
Odie sure had a talent for handling men, but when it came to women, he seemed to lose his touch. The story she spun was so far-fetched even Vanessa wouldnât buy it, yet Odie swallowed it hook, line, and sinker.
"Alright, Iâll believe you," he said, tossing a small bottle to Sophie.
Inside was a red pill, just like the new drug Gordon had mentioned. These drugs, disguised as innocent candies, were being sold without raising any alarms.
Odie watched Sophie and said, "Still, I can't shake my doubts. If you've somehow kicked your habit, then everything you just said is a lie. Why don't you take one right here, to prove you're on the level?"
Sophie noted the gleam of amusement in his eyes but quickly formulated a plan. "You, of all people, should know the dosage youâve been giving me.
Itâs been less than a month; not even a miracle could cure me that fast."
Odie, propping his chin on his hand, replied, "I know exactly how much Iâve been giving you, but I need to see you take it. Colby, injected me with this stuff and got me addicted. I deserve a bit of payback, or it feels like Iâm letting you off too easy."
Sophie hesitated, then said, "I... suppose I could, but you canât watch."
"Why not?" he asked.
Feigning a blush, Sophie said, "Isnât it obvious? Your drugs are too strong. Every time I take them, I lose control... and start feeling so hot I strip down.
If you stay here, what, you planning to take advantage of me?"
For once, Odie looked embarrassed, his gaze darting away. "Just take it. I wonât look."
Taking advantage of his distraction, Sophie let the pill slip down her sleeve and slyly retrieved a candy hidden inside her ring, placing it in her palm.
"Iâve taken these pills several times before; one more wonât kill me. But remember, you have to supply me on time from now on, no using it to torment me."
"Deal."
Watching Sophie swallow the candy, Odie scrutinized her closely.
Sensing his eyes on her, Sophie teased, "Still here? Are you hoping to see me undress?"

ï¤Chapter 872 Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace)
ï¤Chapter 782 Odieâs face darkened. "You flatter yourself. I am not so desperate as to stoop to assaulting a woman." He stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
Outside, Jonah asked, "Boss, did you test her?"
"She took the pill right in front of me. She should show some sort of reaction. Make Polly to keep an eye on her. If anything seems off, report to me immediately."
"Yes, boss."
As Odie turned to leave, Jonah suddenly called out, "Boss!"
"What now?"
"Your face... itâs all red. Are you feeling sick?"
