Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 388

"Precisely! I know it's all for show, and that's why it irks me so much!" Jenna gritted her teeth, saying, "If I had known, I would have had Colby—"

Jenna made a cutting gesture with her hand.

Adler stared at her in disbelief. "Jenna! That's a bit harsh, don't you think? Nichole hasn't even said anything!"

Jenna, puffing with anger, turned to Sophie and demanded, "Sophie! Say something!"

Sophie pondered for a moment before saying, "She is infuriating."

"Is that all?"

"I was just thinking. Look at Mr. Briggs's expression. It doesn't seem like he knows Nichole isn't his daughter."

"What?"

Jenna snapped back to the conversation, closely examining the news clip. She observed the nearly perfect embrace on screen, and Mr. Briggs didn't seem to be faking it.

Sophie asked, "Mr. Adler, who organized this press conference?"

"Who else but the Cloude family?" Adler couldn't help but click his tongue. "You have no idea how extravagant they can be. They managed to invite every high-profile individual to this press conference, though, of course, most of the big names are from Bloomsbury, along with a few business tycoons from Devonport who are on good terms with the Freeman family."

"These big names made the trip to Devonport for Ricardo. It seems like he's trying to intimidate Colby."

Just yesterday, Colby had gone to confront Ricardo. Ricardo's move seemed a bit like a show of force.

Adler thought for a moment and said, "You might be onto something, but Colby wouldn't give two hoots about that small display."

Jenna remarked, "You call that a small display? It seems overly grandiose to me, and it's not even a major gala or anything, just an acknowledgment of kinship."
