Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 189

"In your dreams!"

Sophie seized the moment while Sam was distracted and dashed to the door. She tried to unlock it only to find that the indoor lock had stopped working!

Outside, the housekeeper had inserted a spare key into the lock, effectively jamming it so that it couldn’t be operated from the inside.

"Help! Help!" Sophie pounded on the door, shouting loudly.

Meanwhile, downstairs, the music was deafening. Jessica, dressed in a fiery red dress, was performing an impromptu senior tango with Perry, completely oblivious to the commotion upstairs.

"Stop wasting your effort! You’re mine today!"

Sam advanced and grabbed Sophie, but she pushed him away fiercely, smashing a water glass on the table to the ground. She picked up a shard of glass and held it to her neck, "If you come closer, I’ll slit my throat, and then all your and your sister's scheming will have been for nothing!"

Sam's face turned pale. He couldn’t let Sophie die here!

"Damn it! Are you threatening me?"

Sam lunged forward to snatch the glass shard from Sophie’s hand, but she didn’t give him a chance. A trace of blood now marked her neck.

Seeing this, Sam dared not move rashly.

At this moment, Colby had been waiting outside the Russell family's house for quite some time.

As the time of his appointment with Sophie drew near, Colby tried calling her, but it went unanswered.

Colby glanced at the mansion of the Russell family, his eyes settling on a second-floor window. From his angle, he could clearly see a woman leaning against the balcony glass, holding something.

That silhouette was Sophie!

Realizing something was off, Colby immediately flung open his car door and stormed into the Russell property.
