Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1452

Gordon's grin widened as he said, "Since you've already taken a swipe at Sophie, there's no way I'm letting you off easy."

Just then, Rick raised his knife high, aiming it right at Sandy's shoulder. As the blade was about to pierce her skin, Kiran quickly shouted, "I agree!"

Gordon, taking his time, poured himself a cup of tea, saying, "Honestly, whether or not Mr. Angelo agrees, I'm sending the person to the Pollard family regardless. But we still have some scores to settle, wouldn't you say?"

Even though Gordon wore a smile, his eyes told a different story—there was no warmth in them.

Kiran knew exactly what Gordon meant and, without a second thought, drove the knife into his own shoulder. The motion was swift and precise, causing Sandy to turn white as a sheet.

"Brother!"

"Since Mr. Angelo is so earnest, I suppose I can begrudgingly accept your apology," Gordon remarked, turning to Rick. "Let's not terrify Ms. Sandy anymore. Get a few folks to escort Mr. Angelo back to the Pollard family. Once Mr. Angelo reaches them safe and sound, then we'll let the person go."

"Yes, sir," Rick replied.

Sandy had always pegged Gordon as a frail character, someone who only had his smarts going for him. But after tonight, she saw Gordon's true colors. He didn't need to move a muscle to have them all dancing to his tune.

Suddenly, Sandy felt a chill of fear.

Her brother had never backed down for anyone before.

A car rolled up in front of Kiran, and his eyes drifted to Sandy. Noticing Rick's unyielding watch over her, Kiran realized there was no way out this time.

Before long, Rick led Sandy upstairs.

In the study, Gordon was sipping his tea leisurely. When Sandy was brought in, he smiled and said, "Ms. Sandy, there's no need to worry, I won't hurt you."
