Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 446

Skye cast a cold glance over the crowd. "Sophie went to see Julian because I asked her to. Who said they were dating?"

"What?" Shirley was taken aback to learn that it was Skye who had sent Sophie to see Julian. Her face soured instantly. "But they clearly seemed..."

Upon reflection, Shirley realized that, indeed, Sophie and Julian hadn't engaged in any overtly affectionate or suggestive behavior.

It was just that Julian rarely protected a girl like that, which had led her to jump to conclusions.

Sophie spoke with a cool detachment, "You just have intense jealousy. You prompted others to believe that Julian and I were in a relationship. But you're the one who truly wants Julian to yourself."

"It’s not that!"

Shirley tried to argue, but Sophie countered, "You can't even admit your feelings for Julian. It seems your love is insignificant. No wonder Julian doesn't spare you a glance."

"You..."

"Instead of acknowledging your mistake, you let jealousy drive you to slander me, claiming I'm dating Julian. Did you ever consider that your slander about Julian and me dating would drive me away and also ruin Julian's future if proven true? With such selfishness, why should he like you?"

Sophie's words utterly dismantled Shirley's defenses, leaving her standing there deflated, without the energy to respond.

Sophie turned to Skye and said, "Please handle Shirley's situation. I believe Mr. Devin will make the right decision."

Skye looked at Shirley. "Will you leave on your own, or should I have someone escort you out?"

"I'll leave on my own."

Shirley followed Skye, which was seen as giving her one last shred of dignity.
