Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 122

Krystal stepped back in fear, hiding behind Mr. Manning.

Mr. Manning had never let his daughter suffer such humiliation, especially in his presence. He immediately said, “Harold! Krystal is a young woman, and you are older than her. You should be considerate. How could you…”

Before Mr. Manning could finish, Harold laughed dismissively, “Are you teaching me how to behave?”

The onlookers wore expressions of amusement at the unfolding drama.

Only Harold’s elder brother, Gordon, had ever had any control over him, and no outsider had ever dared to preach to him.

Mr. Manning's face fell as he said, “Regardless, I am still your elder!”

“You think you qualify as such?”

Harold showed no respect to Mr. Manning at all. In their circle, respect was only given to those more powerful. Mr. Manning, who merely ran a modest company making a few hundred thousand a month, would never have stepped foot in such elite circles if not for the invitation sent by Sophie.

“Mr. Harold! This woman is nothing but a gold-digger. How can you humiliate us for such a person? Our family owns a business, and this woman has no status whatsoever!”

At that moment, Krystal, bolstered by his father’s presence, started to cry.

Harold’s gaze grew even more menacing. “I said, if you utter those words again, I’ll make you regret it!”

Krystal was frozen by Harold's intimidating look. She couldn’t understand why a gold-digger could provoke such fury from Harold.

Jenna spoke icily, “Open your eyes! She is Sophie, the daughter of the Russell family. Do I need to spell out what that means?”

Krystal was all too familiar with that name. Tina was also stunned. They had just seen the news about Sophie shopping with her husband.
