Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 39

Just a few days after the Russell family's dinner party, Sophie received her acceptance letter from Eastwood College.

Sophie's admission as a graduate student to Eastwood College was explosive news among her social circle. Everyone knew that Eastwood College was a top institution in the finance sector, and Sophie was previously a socialite with no experience in finance, which made the connection seem all the more outrageous.

*Ding Ding—*

In the afternoon, Sophie received a call from Perry. He spoke with a serious tone, "Sophie, is it true you got into Eastwood College?”

“Of course it’s true.”

Sophie had no intention of hiding it; secrets were hard to keep in her circle.

Perry took a deep breath and asked, “How much did you pay to get into Eastwood College? Or did James help you out?”

“I just got lucky and passed the exam on my own. James didn’t help me.”

“So, you paid your way in?” Perry sounded deeply disappointed, "How could you use the inheritance your father left to cheat your way in? That money was supposed to be a reserve for your future. You’re really driving me mad!”

Hearing this, Sophie furrowed her brows. “Have you been checking my bank records?”

“I... I’m just looking out for you. Two billion! And you just squandered it to get into Eastwood College! If this gets out, how can our family ever hold their heads high again? Do you even care about your reputation?” Perry heavily sighed, “Go to Eastwood College and get that money back. We're not going through with this school.”

Perry’s tone was resolute, clearly convinced that Sophie had used her inheritance for pulling strings to get admitted.

Sophie knew this must be Jessica stirring things up and prompting Perry to make this call. As for that piece of land, she couldn't let others know about it, and certainly have Jessica come up with any schemes.
