Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 538

In the study of Lennon's manor, the sound of papers being furiously shuffled and objects clattering filled the air. The butler and the maid standing at the doorway couldn't help but turn away, waiting. It wasn't until half an hour later that the study's door was finally kicked open.

As Colby exited the study, the butler immediately approached, offering a warm, clean towel. "Mr. Colby, you know how he can be. Please don't be upset..."

Colby casually wiped his hands before tossing the towel back to the butler, his cold gaze sweeping over him. "Make sure he has no plans for Sophie, or else..."

"Rest assured! Mr. Lennon has been retired for so long, he wouldn't dare lay a finger on your future bride..."

Hearing this, Colby finally turned and left.

Once Colby was gone, the butler wiped the sweat from his brow and pushed open the study's door. He found Lennon gasping for breath, seated in his chair. The butler quickly passed the towel to Lennon, saying, "Sir, why get into a fight with Mr. Coby?"

"What fight! He's nothing like his father!" Lennon caught his breath and then said suspiciously, "Is he even my grandson? Was the paternity test really done? Alexander was such a gentleman, refined and elegant, and his mother was intelligent and gentle! Whose temperament did he inherit?"

The butler coughed twice, weakly suggesting, "Could it be... from you?"

"From me? Am I like that?"

Lennon was irate, and the butler merely chuckled nervously, not daring to speak.

Lennon said sternly, "The more he doesn't want me to meet the girl, the more I must see her! What? I can’t even meet my future granddaughter-in-law?"

"Sir..."

"Go, arrange it. I want to have a proper talk with that girl from the Russell family."

"But..."

"No buts! If you can't invite her over, don't bother coming back!"

Lennon's temper flared. No one dared to provoke him except for Colby, so the butler had no choice but to leave, sweating. He said to the maid, "Send an invitation to Miss Sophie Russell, saying Mr. Lennon would like her to visit."

"Understood."

"Hold on!" the butler added, "Remember, the invitation should specify it's just a visit, nothing more. Tell Ms. Sophie not to be afraid and not to inform Mr. Colby."

The maid nodded.

That afternoon, Sophie received the invitation from the Costello family. She examined the invite in her hands, asking, "This is from the Costello family?"

"Definitely, we've checked."

"Are you sure?"
