Chapter 763 Sophie casually remarked, "I almost have it down. Next time, just givea list of people working with Minton International, and I'll nail it for sure." I'll give it to you tonight, but you better have it memorized by tomorrow." *Really?" "Why would I lie to you?" Sophie perked up. "Then, about that video I mentioned last time..." "Not happening." Sophie frowned. "Why are you being so stingy? It's just for self-defense. You saw what happened today-Ms. Leticia splashed champagne right in my face. Next time, it could be acid!" "She won't get the chance." "What do you mean she won't-" Before Sophie could finish, Jonah shouted, "Boss! There's something wrong with the car!" Odie immediately becalert, grabbing Sophie's arm. Sophie instinctively tried to pull away but realized Odie was just holding her firmly. "Hold on to the handle!" he instructed.
Sophie also sensed something was off with the car. Since Jonah mentioned the problem, the speed hadn't decreased at all. Could someone have cut the brake lines? Jonah seemed to handle the situation with ease as the car sped toward the riverbank. At this rate, they'd soon plunge into the river, car and all! Odie quickly rolled down Sophie's window and shouted, "I'll count down from three. Close your eyes and hold your breath! Got it?" "Okay!" Sophie gripped the handle tightly.

Jonah was the first to swim out of the car, then helped Sophie through the rear window. Finally, the three of them clambered out of the river, looking like drowned rats.
1/2 "Cough, cough!" Sophie lay on the ground, coughing violently. Even though she was mentally prepared, she still choked when they hit the water.
Odie, looking at Sophie's bedraggled state, chuckled. "You're really weak." "Mr. Odie, l'in injured! Couldn't you show a bit care?" "What's that? Never heard of it." "You..." "Boss, the brake lines were cut,” Jonah interrupted.
Odie scoffed. "How cliché." "I'll get someone to retrieve the car." "Achoo!" Before Odie could respond, Sophie sneezed unexpectedly.

Odie and Jonah both looked at her, and Sophie said, "Don't blme.... The Summerfield hight breeze is Enr freezing..."
At this moment, Sophie's clothes were completely soaked, and then night wind felt as sharp as knives against her skin. Odie frowned slightly. “Get someone to bring a car over." "...Yes, boss." Jonah immediately made a call, and soon someone arrived with a car.
Odie and Sophie got in, and noticing Sophie still shivering, Odie coldlyn remarked, "Dont you know how to turn on the heater?" The driver, scared by Odie's tone, hurriedly cranked up the temperature. "I'm sorry, Mr. Odie, I'm so sorry!" "Shut up and drive." "Yes... yes..." Odie glanced at Sophie, who was trying to hide a smile. "What are you laughing at?" he asked, annoyed.
