Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 188

Sophie furrowed her brow slightly, and Jessica, noticing Sophie's displeasure, immediately turned to the maid and said, "How could you be so careless? Go get a new outfit for Miss Sophie to change into, now!"

"I'm so sorry, Miss! I'll prepare the clothes right away."

The maid apologized profusely, bowing continuously, while Jessica added, "This maid is new, young, and still not quite adept at her tasks. I hope you won't mind, Sophie."

Then, turning back to the maid, Jessica commanded, "Go and bring Sophie upstairs to change."

"Yes, ma'am." The maid, trembling, led Sophie upstairs.

Sophie glanced back at Jessica, feeling that something was amiss. However, today was the Russell family's dinner party, and Jessica wouldn't dare pull any stunts.

Once upstairs, the maid showed Sophie into a guest room and handed her the prepared outfit. "Please change here, Miss. I'll wait outside for you."

Sophie nodded.

Once the maid had left, Sophie carefully inspected the clothes handed to her. They seemed normal.

Was it just an accident?

Sophie shook her head. Since there was nothing wrong with the clothes, she might as well change.

She took off her damp clothes, rinsed off briefly in the bathroom, and put on the new outfit prepared by the maid. Then, Sophie stepped out of the bathroom.

No sooner had she left the bathroom than she felt dizzy and weak. It was odd. She had checked everything when she came in, and there had been no issues.

Suddenly, urgent footsteps sounded outside the door. Sophie frowned slightly. She had locked the door from the inside when she entered, preventing anyone from coming in.

Sure enough, someone jiggled the doorknob but couldn't open the door.
