Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 437

"If I go and talk to him..."

"It's no use," Sophie said calmly. "Being born out of wedlock isn't something you can decide for yourself, but here, in this place, Ricardo will never allow your existence to threaten his position. Whatever you say will be in vain. He might even pretend to be brotherly to your face but plot against you behind your back."

Julian fell silent. He never wanted to get involved in these matters in the first place. All he wanted was to dance quietly, searching for the stage he longed for.

Seeing Julian troubled, Sophie said, "How about this? Come find me tonight when you're resting. I have a business proposition for you. If you agree, I guarantee Ricardo won't bother you anymore."

At her words, Julian was taken aback, skepticism in his eyes, "You have a way?"

"Believe me and come. If not, pretend I never said anything. I won't force you." Sophie left first, waving at Julian, "Tonight at 8:30, at the back of the gym, don't stand me up."

Johnny had been eavesdropping around the corner. Since he hadn't heard anything, he immediately approached Julian after Sophie left, saying, "Hey! Dude, what were you talking about with her?"

"Nothing."

Julian turned to leave, but Johnny was persistent and blocked his way, asking, "I was watching from over there! You two were so close! I don't think it was nothing."

Julian stopped, frowning, "You heard it?"

"Not a thing." Johnny, probably not expecting Julian to question him like that, suddenly got angry. "You're even keeping secrets from your friend? Fine, fine, I knew there was something special between you two!"

Julian felt a headache coming from the noise and, without another word, left.
