Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 63

Although Jessica looked visibly upset after being exposed, she knew that once Perry spoke up, Sophie would find it hard to refuse.

This was a plot of land measuring 150,000 square feet. She definitely didn't want this lucrative opportunity to end up in Sophie’s hands.

Sophie feigned surprise, "Really? I had no idea about that."

"Sophie, you've never dealt with such matters, so naturally, you wouldn't know about this. Your uncle is only looking out for you. If this land comes under the Russell family’s control, it could definitely turn a profit."

As Jessica spoke, her eyes gleamed with anticipation. Anyone with a bit of sense knew how valuable the land would become once the landscaping approval came through.

Sophie sighed and said, "Why didn’t you mention this earlier? It’s too late now."

"What do you mean by that?" Jessica tensed up immediately.

Even Perry chimed in, "Sophie, you wouldn’t have..."

"The land was sold three hours ago."

"What?!" Jessica exclaimed in shock.

"Actually, I bought that land on a whim during an argument with James. I always felt it was a poor decision, especially after finding out it was a wastewater area. It's been a hot potato ever since, and I wanted to sell it, but no one was interested. Today, Colby came by asking to buy it, and I was overjoyed. I’m afraid he might change his mind, and I signed the contract immediately. Now, the money is in my hands, and the land is his."

Sophie’s tone was full of regret, as if she truly meant it.

Jessica quickly tugged at Perry's sleeve, "What do we do now?"

Such a prime opportunity was just handed over?

"Can we still get it back?" Perry asked tentatively.

Sophie shook her head, "It’s definitely not coming back."

Seeing this, Jessica stepped forward anxiously, "Maybe, Sophie, you could talk to Colby? Perhaps we could reconsider?"
