Chapter 801 When Odie saw the words, he let out a cynical chuckle. "Sophie, do you really think nabbing Blake's invite means you're actually invited?" "Mr. Odie, how could you call it stealing?" Sophie replied calmly, "The invite was for the CEO of S Corporation, and here I am." "She's got snerve. She's just a small-tmanager who climbed the ladder through connections, and now she's calling herself CEO?" "I bet she used her ties with Blake to get in, just a fox pretending to be a tiger!" The crowd threw disdainful glances at Sophie.
Odie, hearing the surrounding insults, remarked, "Do you hear them, Sophie? They don't believe you. It's notwho's failing to protect you now." "Seems like... you don't believe it either." Sophie's lips curled into a slight smile.

Tricia walked in from outside and stood beside Sophie before speaking, "This is our CEO, Ms. Sophie. Ms. Sophie has always kept a low profile due to the Burke family's rules, preferring not to reveal her role in founding the company. Now that she has severed ties with the Burke family, she's ready to go public with her identity. Here's a small token from Ms. Sophie for everyone, please accept it." Soon, the bodyguards handed out documents to each guest.
Everyone looked puzzled as they received the documents, unsure of what it meant. But as they opened them, their faces darkened.
Odie frowned, noticing the guests' expressions shifting from confusion to fear, sensing something was up. Sophie smiled slightly, "Do you all like the gift I've given you?" The guests quickly closed the documents, their eyes darting around nervously, as if caught red-handed. Those who had sneered at her moments before now looked at her with fear.
Sophie was pleased with their reactions.
In Devonport, every business had its dirty secrets that couldn't be made public.
These people had cto the dinner mainly to curry favor with Odie and the Pollard family. Sophie had Tricia dig up their secrets and hand them out, making it clear that she held everyone's secrets in Devonport.

Sophie glanced around, "It seems everyone is quite pleased." The room fell silent.
In a corner, Ricardo, who had snuck into the banquet hall, looked om disheveled and was already broke and 'deeply in debt after returning to Devonport from Summerfield.
Booker had discussed S Corporation's Blake offering a loan out of goodwill and with today's revelation of Sophie's status as CEO, he realized he had been played by Booker and Sophie! He never imagined Sophie could keep such a huge secret!
Ricardo clenched his fists. His current misery was all thanksAdm Sophie!
