Chapter 929

In a dim corner, a shadowy figure stared at Odie’s retreating form, fists clenched in silent rage.

Inside the Costello family estate...

“The trending searches have hit over a hundred million. Looks like Odie’s going viral this time,” Sophie remarked, lying on her bed and scrolling through the news on her phone. Today’s fiasco was likely enough to boot Odie out of here for good. Without backing from the Pollard family or the resources of the White family, Odie didn’t stand a chance. He was a nobody abroad, completely unable to challenge Colby’s position.

Colby emerged from the bathroom, towel-drying his hair. “Things are just about wrapped up here. We’ll head back to Devonport in a couple of days,”

he said, then wrapped Sophie in a warm hug and whispered, “It's time we got our marriage license.”

Sophie blushed at his words. The chaos overseas had settled remarkably quickly, almost too quickly. Leaning into Colby’s embrace, she confessed, “I still feel uneasy.”

“What? Don’t trust your husband’s skills?” Colby teased.

“Today... at the banquet hall, I thought I saw...”

“Who did you see?”

Sophie looked up into Colby’s intense eyes. “I thought I saw...”

James.

She couldn’t bring herself to mention James’s name in front of Colby. Shaking her head, she said, “I must have been mistaken.”

James wouldn’t come abroad quietly, and if he had shown up at Odie’s engagement party, he would have been the center of attention. There was no way he could have gone unnoticed.

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll have Adler book our flight tickets,” Colby reassured her, gently ruffling her hair with affection.

Sophie nodded, feeling slightly more at ease. The crisis abroad had been resolved, and the Pollard family didn’t seem to harbor any ill will towards Colby. The main triumph was derailing Odie and Sandy’s engagement. Odie couldn’t cause any more trouble abroad. Their time overseas had run its course.

Meanwhile, back in Devonport...

Chapter 928 Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace)

Chapter 782 At S Corporation, Jenna walked into the CEO’s office, balancing a breakfast tray. She found Adler buried under a mountain of paperwork, the stacks towering on his desk like mini skyscrapers.

With a look of disbelief, Jenna reached out and poked Adler's arm. In the next instant, Adler sprang up from his chair as if on springs, shouting, “Meeting! I’m gonna be late!”

Realizing there was no meeting today, Adler sighed with relief. “Phew, no meetings today.”

“You... haven’t slept all night, have you?” Jenna asked, noticing the dark circles under his eyes. “Maybe you should take a day off.”

“Jenna, you’re the best!” Adler whimpered, his voice cracking as he fought the urge to collapse into her arms in tears. With Sophie and Colby away, the pressure of running all three companies had fallen squarely on his shoulders. And this was before the couple even went on their honeymoon! If they got married and took a few months off, he’d be dead from exhaustion.

“There, there,” Jenna comforted him. “Just finish what’s on your desk, and then you can take a break!”

Adler looked at the daunting pile of documents, his spirits sinking. “Jenna...”

Jenna placed a thermos in front of him, her expression serious. “I made you some special chicken soup. It’s good for the soul! Hang in there—you’ve got this!”
