Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1314

Jenna rolled her eyes, clearly frustrated. "I've told you, everyone knows Claire's just pretending to be the Russell family heiress. It's such a lame lie. Do you think people in our circle are that clueless? They know Claire's a fake, but it's James behind her who's the real deal! In this crowd, plenty are trying to climb the social ladder by getting close to business families. They're just playing along, treating Claire like the real heiress to get in with James. It's all about picking the right team!"

Sandy, a bit clueless, chimed in, "But couldn't they just team up with Sophie?"

Sophie couldn't help but chuckle. "The CEOs who make it in Devonport aren't fools. The fight between S Corporation and Burke International is intense, and everyone knows it. With the whole Russell family heiress drama, they see that Burke International is gunning for me. James hasn't been in Devonport all these years for nothing; he's always managed to handle whoever he needed to. With Lennon's mysterious death, Mr. Gordon's illness, Harold's betrayal, and Odie's downfall, why would they back someone like me, who's at a disadvantage?"

Sandy finally caught on, "So, this is Burke International's way of winning people over and expanding their connections?"

Sophie nodded.

Meanwhile, Angelo, looking at Sandy in disbelief, asked, "You actually got all that?"

"Bro, don't tell me you didn't get any of it?"

Feeling defensive, Angelo huffed, "Of course I did! I'm the backbone of this family! How could I not?"

Sandy just rolled her eyes at Angelo.

Sophie turned to Jenna, saying, "Jenna, I have another favor to ask."
