Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 46

Adler was right, she did indeed intend to get closer to Harold.

Though everyone knew Gordon was a formidable figure, they were unaware that his younger brother Harold was even more untouchable. If she could befriend Harold early on, her future would be much smoother.

However, Harold's personality was different from most; overt flattery and trying to please him could actually lead to his distaste.

At his core, Harold was very much like James. In her past life, her efforts to please James had turned him against her so completely that he couldn’t even stand to look at her before she died.

But once she started ignoring them, they would incessantly follow her.

Sophie deliberately avoided the main entrance of Liberty Hall and did not meet Harold.

...

As evening approached, Sophie woke up feeling groggy, only to realize it had started raining heavily outside. She had always been frail, and rainy days often brought on a fever.

Sophie was about to go out and buy some medicine, but then she noticed a white sticky note on the bedside table that mentioned there was everyday medicine in the drawer.

Opening the drawer, she indeed found it stocked with cold, fever, and pain relief medication.

Was this also Colby’s doing?

Just then, Sophie’s phone rang. It was James calling.

Sophie answered, and James’ voice came through cold and angry, "Where did you go?”

“I started college today and moved out.”

“Who allowed you to move out?” James’ tone was a mix of ice and fury.

Feeling extremely unwell already, Sophie didn’t want to argue with James and hung up the phone the next second.
