Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 1519

Sophie sneaked a look at Odie. Even though Harold had kept things on the down low, Odie still felt like he'd been disrespected. Back in the day, just dropping Odie's name in Summerfield would make even the biggest shots step aside and take the long way around him. But ever since Joseph butted in, the power game in Summerfield's been flipped on its head. Odie got the Mintons back under his belt, but now he's dealing with the whole reform mess. Summerfield's never been more messed up. Everything looks calm on the surface, but underneath, it's a storm waiting to happen. Nobody's ready to let go of the Summerfield crown.

"I'm heading back now," Odie suddenly announced, throwing Sophie off. "Jonah, hold your boss back!" she pleaded. Jonah, who was now pretty much taking cues from Sophie, didn't miss a beat and blocked Odie. Odie's face turned stormy: "Who's the boss here, me or her?"

"Boss... you really shouldn't go out right now," Jonah advised. The Silent Shadows were probably staked out around the Aldridge place, ready to pounce the second Odie stepped out.

Sophie chimed in, "We've still got Kena, don't we? The Gibbs family has their own place in Summerfield now, so the Spellman family won't act on a whim. Their invite to me means they can't be dumb enough to try something in Summerfield. Plus, your Mintons in Summerfield are not to be messed with by the Spellmans."

Sophie’s words seemed to calm Odie a bit. "Yeah, my people, the Spellmans wouldn't dare mess with them," he agreed.

"So, it's not such a big deal," Sophie said, trying to reassure him. "I'll be in Summerfield for just a day to see what the Spellman family's up to. If things go sideways, your crew will back me up. The Spellman family knows better than to cross me if they want to stay in Summerfield."
