Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 716

In the deep of night, the Central Square of Summerfield was deserted, long emptied of its usual crowd.

The man who had been holding Sophie suddenly let go of his grip. "Ms. Sophie, I swear I didn't do that on purpose! You must not tell Colby about this later!"

"I know you didn't mean to. If it weren't for you, I'd still be trapped there by now."

Sophie had just stepped out of the lounge when she spotted William pacing outside.

"Is Colby here? Did he come?"

William grumbled in response, "Of course he came! How could he not? The moment he heard you were in trouble, he flew over. And he dragged me along! I had to reschedule several surgeries because of this! Ms. Sophie, you have to back me up here!"

Hearing that Colby had arrived, Sophie felt a knot form in her heart and was no longer concerned with helping William. She grabbed William's arm urgently. "Where is he, then? Tell him to go back right away. Odie's men have been ready to catch him for a while!"

"Colby loves you more than life itself. How could he leave while you're still here?" William said, "Today is a lucky day. Colby figured that with your smarts, you'd definitely try to reach out to Minton Casino. So, I've been posing as a businessman here, gambling for days, just to wait for your return. Let's get out of here fast. This place is no good for anyone!"

"Alright!"

Just as Sophie was about to leave with William, she suddenly remembered something and stopped in her tracks, "No, it's too late to leave now! Wayne saw me leaving with you; he must have already informed Odie. It won't take more than twenty minutes for Odie to come looking for us. We won't be able to get away!"

"What should we do, then?"
