Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 871

"...No way," Jonah said. "From what we heard earlier, Sophie likely relapsed on our new drug. Once you try it, you're hooked for good, especially if it's a relapse."

"You're right." Odie picked up the newspaper again. "Sophie’s just bluffing. She’s too proud to admit she can’t kick the habit and too ashamed to ask for help. So, she’s taking the easy way out by coming back on her own."

"Good point, boss."

"Let her stew for a bit. If she asks to see me, tell her I’m busy."

"Got it."

Jonah left the room.

By 8 p.m., the kitchen had prepared dinner and delivered it to Sophie's room.

Sophie watched the spread of dishes on the cart and nodded in approval.

Salmon tartare, cherry foie gras, filet mignon, creamy corn soup...

"Mrs. Costello, here’s your dinner."

"Do you have any lighter dishes? I was hoping for smoked fish, salad, and a couple of veggies burgers. Oh, and I don’t like carrots, but anything else is fine."

"Of course, Mrs. Costello. We’ll get that ready right away."

The maid quickly left, and Jonah, who had seen everything from the doorway, scowled and stopped her. "Who told you to prepare such a lavish dinner for her?"

"Huh?" The maid was taken aback. "Wasn’t it Mr. Odie who instructed us this morning..."

"Leave."

"Sure."
