Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1192

"In truth, it's pretty simple. The shareholders at Burke International aren't exactly saints. They've got skeletons in their closets that Odie knows about, so they pretty much have to do what he says."

Hearing this, Elodie couldn't help but laugh.

"No wonder."

No wonder at the previous shareholders' meeting, just mentioning Odie's name was enough for Sophie to sway their opinions so easily.

It was all because Odie had their secrets.

"Alright, I know this was your plan, and I'll take the loss this time. But Sophie, I don't actually dislike you. So, out of kindness, let me tell you: getting shares of Burke International is not going to be good for you. The person behind all this won't let you off the hook."

"Do you know who it is?"

"What if I do? We're destined to be enemies. I lost to you this time, but next time, someone even more formidable will come after you, and you might not be as lucky."

Elodie poured Sophie a cup of tea, saying, "Actually, we're quite alike. We've both been through things that most people can't even imagine. But you're luckier than me. You've got people around you who help you out, and you always seem to come out of dangerous situations unscathed. But the road ahead of you is much tougher than mine. So no, I don't envy you."

Hearing Elodie's words, Sophie frowned and said, "What do you mean? What do you mean by saying we've been through things ordinary people can't understand?"

Facing Sophie's questioning, Elodie simply smiled and said, "What I mean is, we're both women who've been abandoned. Along the way, a lot of things have been out of our control. You know, society always holds too much hostility towards women. That's why we can understand each other, right?"
