FreeNovelChapter 749 Sophie gasped, "Odie, are you out of your mind?" He threw her down the stairs just like that in the Gibbs' residence. Wasn't Odie afraid of severing ties with them? Downstairs, Leticia was already covered in bruises, even sporting a gash on her forehead, as Mr. Gibbs rushed over. Seeing this scene, he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Mr. Odie, what is this..." "Leticia was just too careless, falling down the stairs like that." Odie's indifferent remark made Mr. Gibbs freeze, while the maids nearby lowered their heads, pretending they hadn't seen anything.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeticia was unconscious. Mr. Gibbs didn't show a trace of pity on his face but instead hurried the maids, "Don't just stand there! Take her upstairs! Call a doctor!" "Yes, Mr. Gibbs." The maids carefully helped Leticia up and took her upstairs.
Odie, standing tall, looked down at Mr. Gibbs at the bottom of the stairs and said, "Mr. Gibbs, you should keep a better eye on your daughter. This tshe was lucky it was just a fall down the stairs; next time, she might not be so fortunate." "Yes, yes... You're right, Mr. Odie. I'll make sure to discipline Leticia strictly, so she won't trouble you again." "Good." With that cold remark, Odie turned and left.
Sophie, trailing behind Odie, was somewhat shaken by everything that had just happened.
What kind of figure was Odie in Summerfield? Even the century-old Gibbs family seemed to be at Odie's beck and call? "Scared?" In the courtyard, Odie glanced casually at Sophie.
Sophie hadn't recovered yet, “It's a lot to take in, I don't know how to process all this." "It's simple, the Gibbs family needs to cling to Minton International, that's all.” "But you almost killed his daughter just now! Aren't you afraid he'll hold a grudge against you, maybe even betray you?" "He wouldn't dare. Besides, as far as parental affection goes, he has a lot of them. Without Leticia, he would have other daughters. You should get to know Daniel better, then you wouldn't find it so strange." Sophie still found it hard to accept.
She tentatively asked, "Leticia opened her heart to you, willing to sell her own body for you, don't you feel a bit moved by that?" "A woman who degrades herself for a man, who would be moved by that? Besides, she's doing it to satisfy her own desires. She wants to secure the position of Mrs. Minton, to gain the respect and status she believes she deserves. We're merely using each other."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What do you mean by the respect and status she deserve? Isn't she the Gibbs family heiress?"
Hearing Sophie's words, Odie scoffed, "Sophie, you're too naive. All the status and reputation she has now is because of the affection I've shown her publicly. Out of Daniel's many illegitimate daughters, why is she the only one who can enjoy such glory and dignity then?" Sophie was shocked but had nothing to say.
Perhaps Leticia was sincere towards Odie, but she too had used Odie to gain status and fame.
The Gibbs family heiress, the pearl of Summerfield, beneath these titles lay such sordid deals. How corrupt could Summerfield possibly be?
