When's it gonna be my turn for sof that sweet romance?" On the other side of the room, Odie yanked Vanessa's arm, his voice icy. "What's your problem?" Vanessa, with trembling lips and eyes locked on Colby, who was clearly only interested in Sophie, shrugged off Odie's grip and took a step forward. But before she could get any closer, Colby shot her a chilling glance that made her shiver.

Vanessa stood frozen. His gaze wasn't hateful, but it was distant, like he was looking at a stranger.
Then Angelo stepped in, voice stern. "Ms. Vanessa, wielding a knife isn't just reckless, it's a crime. Since you're Sandy's friend, I might ask Colby to go easy on you. But ultimately, it's up to Ms. Sophie." Angelo turned to Sophie, waiting for her decision. All eyes followed, especially Sandy's, who was visibly anxious about what Sophie would say.
Sophie didn't mince words. "That's unforgivable. Let's turn this over to the police." "Sophie, you can't be serious!" Vanessa was shocked that Sophie wasn't even pretending in front of Colby.
Sophie continued, "However, I wasn't actually hurt, and I doubt the local cops will make a fuss over this." Angelo thought Sophie was about to let it go, but she added, "So let's settle it privately. Just compensate me. Mr. Odie, you are Ms. Vanessa's fiancé, right? Covering for her shouldn't be a big deal." Angelo's heart sank. Sophie was as shrewd as Colby when it cto money.
Odie, both annoyed and amused, replied, "You weren't injured, so what am I compensating for?" "Emotional distress." Sophie held up one finger. "This much." "A thousand, right? I'll pay you now." "Not one thousand. Ten million." Odie's hand paused mid-air at Sophie's demand. "Are you out of your mind? Ten million?" Sophie replied seriously, "I'm not asking for fifty billion, so consider et that generous. Maybe you want to check with Ricardo back in hove Summerfield?" "Fine, fine, ten million it is." Odie rummaged through his pockets, finding only a few bills. He pulled out a card and tossed it to Sophie. "Any extra can compensate for those ten million damaged nerves."
