Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 598

But remembering Mr. Odie's instructions, Gattlin managed to hold back his frustration and said to the maid behind him, "Change it!"

"Yes, sir."

The maid left and soon returned with a steak.

Sophie merely poked at it with her knife and fork before disinterestedly commenting, "Too greasy. Where did you find the chef? How can Mr. Odie surround himself with such inferior cooks and ingredients? Change it."

Barely containing his anger, Gattlin commanded the maid, "Well? Change it!"

"Ms. Sophie, this is a prime tuna steak."

"Tuna is too rich for me. Are you trying to make me sick?"

"This is French-style baked escargot."

"I don't eat bugs."

"Sautéed mixed vegetables."

"Too plain."

Finally, the maid presented a seared lamb shank before Sophie.

Sophie raised an eyebrow and said, "Too fatty, and I don't eat lamb."

Sophie was nitpicking, and this time, Gattlin was not so accommodating. "Ms. Sophie, if you're not going to cooperate, I will have no choice but to report this to Mr. Odie!"

"Go ahead. At worst, I'll just go hungry. It's not like I'll starve to death. At most, I'll just recover more slowly. It doesn't bother me."

Sophie's defeatist attitude infuriated Gattlin.

Sophie had anticipated this. No matter how much she protested, Gattlin wouldn't dare do anything to her. Mr. Odie usually took his afternoon nap at this time, and no one was allowed to disturb him.
