Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1920

Hearing what the bodyguard said, Sophie was suddenly at a loss for words. She gave him a swift kick in the backside, exclaiming, "So you just nabbed a couple of high school kids without even asking questions? What if you got the wrong people?"

The bodyguard, rubbing his sore behind, replied, "Ma'am, these two rascals were brawling like pros. I thought they seemed suspicious, so I brought them in for a little chat."

"Chatting with them here? You think this is some foreign land? You've been running wild overseas with Colby too long. You want to interrogate anyone who crosses your path."

Adler came down from the executive office upstairs, looking like he'd been burning the midnight oil for days. His face was etched with exhaustion, those dark circles under his eyes telling the tale.

The moment Alec laid eyes on Adler, he blurted out, "Dad?"

"Dad?" Adler was caught off guard.

Jenna, right on his heels, grabbed Adler by the ear, her voice dripping with skepticism, "Dad?"

"Jenna! Let me explain, I don't even know this person!" Adler pointed wildly at Alec, saying, "You! You must be a spy sent by The Silent Shadows! Why are you talking such nonsense? You don’t look like my son at all!"

Sophie glanced between Alec and Adler. Whether it was their looks or their height, there was a striking resemblance.

For a moment, the entire floor was dead silent. Everyone was staring at Adler like he’d grown a second head. Even Adler himself started to second-guess.

They did look... quite similar.

Just then, a slightly panicked voice from a bodyguard outside S Corporation shattered the silence, "Ma'am! There's trouble at the west pier! You need to come and see!"
