Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 331

"Ms. Vanessa was hospitalized last night and woke up this morning insisting on seeing Colby," the nurse explained.

Sophie remained silent, offering no reply.

Perry, lying on the hospital bed, overheard the conversation and asked in confusion, "Vanessa? Who's Vanessa?"

"An old acquaintance of Colby," Sophie replied, her words laced with ambiguity.

Perry read between the lines, and spoke earnestly, "Sophie, your marriage to James has already failed. I hate to say it, but Colby is also not the right man for you. You should end things with him sooner rather than later."

"Uncle Perry, Colby, and I aren't what you think."

"The intentions Colby has for you are clear to anyone who cares to look, but he has too many skeletons in his closet," Perry said, his eyes filled with worry. "All I want is for you to be safe and happy. Being with Colby will only lead to trouble. If it comes to it, better to stay single. After all, our family is wealthy enough to ensure you'll never want for anything."

"I understand your concerns. Please don't worry about me; just focus on getting better," Sophie reassured him, prompting a nod from Perry.

As Sophie left the hospital room, she saw Colby and Adler conversing in the hallway but chose not to approach them, Perry's words echoing in her mind.

Was Colby truly not the one for her?

"Sophie!"

Jenna's voice came from behind. She ran up in her high heels, still dressed in her gala gown, and hugged Sophie tightly. "I've seen the news! How are you? Did that jerk James mistreat you?"

"I'm fine, as you can see," Sophie reassured her.
