Hearing this, Odie nodded in agreement. "There's some truth to that."
"So, wanting to get back at a man who played with my feelings isn't abnormal, is it?"
"It's only natural," Odie said approvingly. "If it were me dealing with people who toy with others' emotions like that. I might not only want to finish them off but also stab them a few extra times."
Sophie continued, "I value my life more than anything. I wouldn't lose it over any man. I've lost everything. I'm no longer part of the Russell family, and am penniless, and I don’t have my position at S Corporation. I doubt I can even return to Devonport. I'm hoping you can offer me a job in Summerfield. I want to earn enough money to get back at that scumbag!"
"So, you're planning on being a dealer in Minton Casino?"
"Exactly!" Sophie quickly agreed, causing Jonah to frown.
Odie seemed interested. "Alright, I'll give you a chance."
"Really?"
"Really."
"So, I won't have to be locked up anymore?"
"Of course not."
Odie glanced at Jonah. "Go get a clean set of clothes for her."
"...Yes, boss."
Jonah reluctantly gave Sophie a look before leaving the room.
Odie tossed a towel to Sophie. "Go take a shower, then come out."
