NovelEndChapter 800 "Isn't that Sophie Russell? What's she doing here?" "I heard she disappeared at her engagement party. Didn't she run off with Mr. Gordon?" "Ugh, just our luck to bump into her here." High society is a strict hierarchy, and anyone with a hint of scandal is quickly shunned. A fallen heiress like Sophie gets blacklisted in no tby the social elite. If it weren't for her past marriage to James and Colby's protection, they wouldn't even consider being in the sroom with her.

As Sophie overheard the comment, a chill ran down her spine. The crowd's attention shifted to Odie, with several business moguls eager to make his acquaintance grabbing their champagne and heading his way, only to be intercepted by Jonah.
Odie started chatting with Sophie, sparking immediate discontent among the onlookers.
"Look at her, cozying up to Mr. Odie now." "Sophie's just riding on her looks, thinking every man should fall for her." "Seriously, men always fall for the pretty faces. Mr. Odie's engaged to Ms. Sandy. If Sophie thinks she can snag him, she better watch out for the Pollards!" Their whispers reached Sophie's ears, and it was clear Odie heard them too. He raised an eyebrow and remarked, "Hear that? They're not exactly rooting for you." "It's been a few days, Mr. Odie. Since when did you start caring about gossip?" Sophie slowly approached Odie, saying, "I ctoday because I'm not afraid of their chatter." "Here to beg for mercy, are you?" Odie had thought Sophie would be pleading for forgiveness by now, but she had remained silent for days. She was more resilient than most, yet he believed it was only a matter of tbefore she would give in.

"Wrong idea?" Odie scoffed, "Sophie, drop the act. You've felt the effects of that drug. If you weren't here to admit your mistakes, why else would you clooking for me?" "Mr. Odie, I'm here because you invited me." "I invited you?" Odie laughed, turning to Jonah. "Did you send her an invitation?"
Jonah frowned. He was in charge of the invitations and hadn't sent one to hit Sophie. Inviting a bankrupt heiress would be a major faux pas, one he wouldn't make.
Catching Jonah's look, Odie stepped forward, "Sophie, if you're trying to save face, you don't need to lie." "I did receive an invitation, Mr. Odie, but it seems you're not thrilled to see me."
Then, Sophie held up the invitation.
Noticing the Minton and Pollard family crests on it, Odie quickly shatched it and read the name: Mr.
Blake, CEO of S Corporation.
