Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 849

Bea watched Marian pack her bags, a cold laugh bubbling up from within.

"Sophie, back in Devonport you had Colby to shield you. Out here? Your luck might not hold up so well."

That afternoon, somewhere overseas.

Inside the grand halls of the Costello estate, Sophie eyed the maid who brought in the glittering jewelry, the haute couture gowns, and those limited-edition handbags. She glanced at the trio of society ladies on the opposite sofa, a slight smile tugging at her lips. “These gifts are absolutely stunning and clearly valuable; you’ve all put a lot of thought into this.”

“Mrs. Costello, among all the socialites I've met, your figure is unmatched, even more perfect than our top models. We’ve just finished a set of luxury designer gowns, and you were the first person I thought of. Only someone with your elegance could truly bring this dress to life.”

“My family’s in the jewelry business, and we owe a lot to Colby’s support over the years. So, we brought you the crown jewel of our collection. This ruby is flawless, only a gem of this caliber can match your grace and sophistication, Mrs. Costello.”

“Mrs. Costello, this is a one-of-a-kind, limited-edition handbag from our new store, just a small token of my admiration.”

The three women took turns showering her with compliments, while Sophie leaned back, unbothered. “I appreciate everyone’s kindness. I’m still getting used to things here after just arriving with Colby. I had no idea the Costello Corporation had so many partners. Looks like we have plenty of opportunities to make money together in the future.”

Mrs. Lee chimed in with a boast, “Of course, with just a flick of Colby’s finger, he could shake up the entire overseas market.”

Sophie smiled but kept silent.
