Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 487

"Ricardo, you've disappointed me greatly today."

Mr. Briggs looked at Ricardo, his eyes filled with disappointment. However, only Ricardo knew that this so-called disappointment was nothing but Mr. Briggs' desire to sever ties with him completely.

"Mr. Briggs, I've got other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving. Instead of being disappointed in me, you should take care of Ms. Rowena and Mr. Burke."

Ricardo's tone was cold, and he turned to leave without a glance at Mr. Briggs.

Booker hurriedly followed Ricardo, saying, "Mr. Ricardo, are we just leaving like this?"

"What? Should we stay here to watch the show?" Ricardo's face was grim.

"Even though Ms. Rowena fainted, we could still push for a DNA test. Once Mr. Briggs finds out..."

"Fool! Haven't you realized? Briggs knew all along that Nichole wasn't his daughter! Unfortunately, the old man refused to acknowledge his real daughter in front of everyone!"

"What?" Booker was incredulous.

How could that be?

Ricardo angrily said, "This old fox is much shrewder than me! He would never publicly acknowledge a daughter who was jailed for prostitution!"

Booker had never imagined Mr. Briggs, who had always hoped to find his daughter, would remain indifferent to his biological daughter's suffering over the years.

Ricardo had thought Mr. Briggs would be easy to manipulate, but he was wrong. A big business mogul who had been fighting in Devonport for so many years wouldn't be so easily played.

When it came to a conflict between kinship and interests, Mr. Briggs could decisively abandon kinship.

However, this time, perhaps Mr. Briggs didn't expect that James would play him. James not only didn't announce his engagement with Nichole but also chose to remarry Sophie.

Because of the Nichole issue, Mr. Briggs' relationship with Ricardo had already soured. Once Rowena was out, Mr. Briggs simply used the opportunity to sever ties with him as well.

In the end, Mr. Briggs broke off their relationship without clinging to James' coattails.

"Check what's really going on with James and Sophie! Why is there no whisper of their reconciliation? There must be a problem."

"Yes, Mr. Ricardo."

"Come back!"

"Mr. Ricardo, is there anything else?"

"Take good care of Rowena. She still has her uses."

"But... Mr. Briggs has no intention of acknowledging this daughter. What use could she possibly have?"

"Blood is thicker than water. Keeping her around. She will be useful in the future."

"Yes, I'll see to it."
