Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 697

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 tumed 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.

Sophie was still lying on the ground. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to speak. Odie demanded, "Why isn't she being taken upstairs? What are you all standing around for?"

The maids were too frightened to respond.

Jonah stepped forward, saying, "Boss, I told them not to move her."

Once Jonah said it was his decision, Odie's face darkened as he spoke, "I asked you to watch her, and this is how you do it? You better have a reasonable explanation."

"Mr. Odie, this has nothing to do with me. She staged the whole thing."

Odie scoffed, "Are you saying she fainted on her own to frame you?"

Jonah immediately lowered his head, his statement sounding absurd to anyone listening.

Everyone in the Minton family knew Odie trusted Jonah the most. Without reason, who would dare frame Odie's most trusted man?

Such actions could only bring trouble upon oneself.

Odie turned to Polly, "Call the doctor immediately."

"Yes, boss."

After Polly left, Odie coldly glanced over the crowd. "Who was it that kept saying donah wanted to kill Ms. Sophie?" Read the latest

chapter there!

"It was... it was me..." A maid timidly stepped forward from the crowd.

Odie asked coldly, "What happened exactly? Tell me everything."

"It was... Ms. Sophie couldn't find Jonah, so she came upstairs andh asked me to fetch a bottle of cleaning solution. But when I returned,

I saw that Jonah had cornered Ms.

Sophie. Ms. Sophie was holding a glass bottle from the ground, retreating in fear, screaming for help. I... I was terrified and wanted to run,

but Jonah didn't let me..."

Hearing the maid's words, Odie turned to Jonah, "Is what she said true?"

Jonah frowned, "It's true, but it was all an act by Sophie. I didn't lay a finger on her!"
