Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 304

Sophie extended her hand politely, but just as she was about to shake hands with Vanessa, Colby grabbed Sophie's hand first and strode towards the crowd.

Vanessa's smile stiffened on her face. Colby didn't even glance at her.

"Isn't that Mrs. Burke? How is she holding hands with Colby in public?"

"I've always felt there was something unusual between them, but I didn't expect them to get together before she even divorced."

"Wasn't Vanessa supposed to be Colby's fiancée? This is going to be quite the spectacle."

A few high-society ladies nearby whispered among themselves, but the next moment, several bodyguards approached them. "Sorry, Mr. Colby has requested that you leave."

One of the ladies protested angrily, "On what grounds are you asking us to leave!"

As she spoke, she felt a chilly gaze on her, and when she turned to follow it, her bravado faded instantly at the sight of Colby. She was ushered out with her tail between her legs.

Seeing this, Vanessa felt even worse. She approached Colby and said, "Colby, Mrs. Burke is a married woman. This is not looking good for your reputation."

Vanessa's tone was intimate, and Sophie calmly withdrew her hand, "Ms. Vanessa is right, this doesn't look good."

"Holding the hand of the woman I intend to marry doesn't seem bad to me." Colby took Sophie's hand again, surveying the surroundings, "If anyone is gonna gossip, I have ways to silence them."

Tears welled up in Vanessa's eyes, "Colby, what do you mean by that?"

Vanessa looked from Sophie to Colby, confusion and helplessness evident in her eyes, "You and Mrs. Burke, you two..."

At that moment, sensing trouble, Adler and Jenna hurried over. Adler couldn't help saying, "Colby, Ms. Vanessa is fragile, don't scare her."
