Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 697

The maid's body stiffened, too scared to move an inch.

Jonah's voice was cold as he said, “I haven’t done anything. Why are you running?”

“Right, right… Jonah, you didn’t do anything…”

The maid shook her head repeatedly.

Sophie saw her chance and immediately cried out, “Jonah, I know you have issues with me, but I really didn’t mean to harm Mr. Odie. Please, let me go!”

Jonah quickly realized this was all Sophie's doing, a flash of murderous intent passing through his eyes. “Sophie!”

Before Jonah could act, Sophie closed her eyes and fainted on the spot.

The maid turned pale with fear and ran upstairs, shouting, “Someone help! Someone! Ms. Sophie has fainted!”

Jonah glanced at Sophie lying on the ground, his brow furrowing deeply.

Outside Mr. Odie’s bedroom on the second floor, Polly knocked on the door in a panic. “Boss! There’s been an incident!”

“Come in.”

Polly opened the door and saw Odie getting dressed. She immediately lowered her head and said, “Boss, Ms. Sophie fainted in the wine cellar…”

“Fainted?” Odie looked up, his voice cold. “And where was Jonah?”

“Right there when it happened. The maid said it was Jonah… he wanted to kill Ms. Sophie.”

Polly’s words made Odie’s frown deepen. He casually threw on his coat and headed for the door.

The basement was already crowded by the time Odie arrived, and people stepped aside to let him through.
