Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 480

Wendy was still young, completely unaware of the understated luxury Sophie's evening gown represented.

Compared to Wendy's flamboyance, Sophie's attire seemed too modest.

Sophie smiled and said, "Miss Wendy, you look so stunning. How could I compete with you? You'll surely be the brightest pearl at the party tonight."

Sophie's compliments brought a pleased smile to Wendy's face.

Jean also took Wendy's hand, saying, "Wendy, let's go inside. Let's not waste time talking here."

"Sure."

Wendy walked past Sophie with her head held high.

Tricia frowned and said, "Ms. Sophie, why do you indulge her like that?"

"Tonight's gala is essentially to announce James and Nichole's engagement. Her dressing like this will be her own undoing. To those unaware, it might seem like she, not Nichole, is the night's leading lady. Everyone knows to play a supporting role when on someone else's turf, yet she remains clueless. Do you think she's worth my concern?"

Sophie then headed towards the Burke family's mansion.

As expected, Wendy's haute couture gown immediately made her the center of attention. Wendy's family must have spent a fortune on that dress, which could have made a stunning impression under different circumstances. However, at this event, Wendy would pay a heavy price for her million-dollar gown.

Meanwhile, Wendy, oblivious to the impending consequences, was enjoying a fine wine.

Jean, trying to flatter her, said, "Wendy, look how beautiful you look in that dress. Everyone's eyes are on you. I just wonder where Blake is. If he were here, he'd surely be captivated by you."

Encouraged by Jean's praise, Wendy felt even more pleased. "You're so sweet. If I really could catch Blake's eye and become his wife someday, I'll give you a chance to shine."

A glint of ambition flashed in Jean's eyes. "Really? Wendy, you're the best!"

Wendy was used to Jean's flattery. She noticed Sophie enter the Burke family's mansion, and her face immediately showed displeasure. "You there, come here!"

Colt was on his way to find Sophie by James' orders, but was suddenly stopped by Wendy. Normally, only James and Bea could order Colt around. To maintain the Burke family's dignity, Colt patiently said, "Miss, how can I assist you?"
