Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 526

At the Cloude family's villa, Julian's interview was playing on the computer. In just a fortnight, Julian had already secured the best resources in the industry, and his popularity was skyrocketing. In the past few days, he had been trending continuously, and his fanbase had reached the tens of millions.

Booker knocked on the door to the study, and Ricardo, sounding impatient, said, "Come in!"

Booker stepped inside, taking in Ricardo's irritated face. He said, "Mr. Ricardo, our company has been facing significant losses lately. Do you think it might be time to head back?"

Ever since Colby had tricked him out of five billion, and Sophie had swindled another five billion, Ricardo's company's funds had been reduced by a staggering ten billion. Furthermore, losses from Aldridge Global had depleted even more. Despite the Cloude family's vast wealth, reallocating such an amount in a short time was not feasible.

"We have hundred billion in assets. We might not be as affluent as the Burke family, but this amount is not a big deal. Find a way to reallocate the funds," Ricardo said dismissively.

"But..."

Before Booker could say more, Ricardo cut him off. Ricardo slid the laptop towards Booker, "Take a look at this first."

On the screen, Julian's fan count had surpassed ten million, an achievement less than a month after his debut. Aside from Reece, who had been specially promoted by Russell Entertainment, Julian was the first trainee to reach such heights among the newcomers.

After a moment of silence, Booker said, "Julian is now a public figure. It's not wise to take action against him, especially since this is James' territory, and... the Russell family..."

Mentioning Sophie made Ricardo's head ache. Where did that woman even come from? Why was she always involved in trouble?

Taking a deep breath, Ricardo said, "Find a time. I need to have a talk with Sophie."

"Mr. Ricardo, we should think this through carefully, especially given Sophie's relationship with James..."

"James gave up a great asset like the Freeman family for a woman, and Colby is willing to die for Sophie. These two men at the top of the Devonport pyramid are so bewitched by Sophie. I want to see what's so different about her. After all, she's just a woman. Whatever she wants, I can surely provide."

Ricardo read Julian's information on the computer and sneered. He didn't care about anything else, but Julian was off-limits!

He would never allow that woman's son to become a star adored by millions! Never!

That afternoon, Sophie received a message at S Corporation' office. It was from Ricardo, and he was requesting a meeting. Tricia thought Sophie's previous mention of giving Ricardo a "big gift" was just a joke, but Ricardo had indeed reached out within half a month.

Tricia said, "We've already purchased several new plots in Bloomsbury for new developments as per your instructions, Ms. Sophie. The Cloude family must have heard about their lands being taken. Why is Ricardo still in Devonport?"

"Ricardo is focused on Julian and expanding his influence in Devonport. He wouldn't care about such minor losses."
