Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 160

"Yes, madam."

Sophie walked up to James, who seemed disinclined to speak, so she simply sat down opposite him and said, "You lured me back here. What is it you want to talk about now?"

"That piece of land in the old industrial district, who did you really sell it to?"

Sophie couldn't help but laugh. "Haven't you already investigated it yourself?"

Ever since the news had spread that the industrial district was set to be transformed into a green space, James had only asked her about it once and had not brought it up again.

She didn't believe for a second that James would let go of this opportunity so easily. He must have been conducting his own secretive investigations.

No doubt, James had received the false information she had intentionally leaked. His summoning her to ask again clearly indicated his dissatisfaction with the findings of his investigation.

"Blake? There's never been such a person in Devonport."

James watched Sophie closely for her reaction. Of course, Sophie wouldn’t show any sign of faltering.

Blake was her. She was Blake.

It was just a false identity, and it was only natural that James couldn't find anything substantial.

"How would I know? Perhaps he's a businessman from abroad." Sophie changed the subject nonchalantly. "Did you really trick me into coming back just to ask me this? If so, I don’t have time for these pointless questions."

Sophie made a move to get up, but James, holding back his frustration as if making a concession, asked, "How long are you going to keep up this anger?"

It had been three months since Sophie had left home, three months, and he had thought that giving her some space would make her reconsider, but he hadn't anticipated that she wouldn’t budge this time.
