Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 88

Jenna glared at Adler, who immediately clammed up.

"Alright, let's put this matter to rest. I'll pretend I know nothing. Is that okay?" Sophie didn't want to make things difficult for Adler and Jenna either.

Jenna nodded quickly, like a pecking chicken, and Adler's eyes twinkled with joy.

Sophie returned to her room and looked at the box of blue cheese rollss on the ground. After hesitating, she still sent Colby a message. [Thank you for the blue cheese rollss. I really like them, but please don’t send them again.]

Sophie pursed her lips. Some things didn't need to be said too plainly, and she hoped Colby, being the clever man he is, would understand her hint.

In the evening, Jenna’s new property launch was celebrated with a banquet at the Diamond Crest Hotel. Being somewhat a part of the Costello family, this event drew quite a crowd. In a stunning lake-blue gown, Sophie caught everyone’s attention simply by standing there.

“Sophie!”

Jenna ran towards her in high heels, plunging into Sophie’s arms for a big bear hug. Adler, trailing behind holding her dress, nearly couldn’t keep up with Jenna’s pace. “Slow down! You're in heels!”

Jenna didn’t care and exclaimed, “This property launch could make me billions. Why couldn’t I start celebrating early?”

“Right, right.” Adler never dared to disagree with Jenna.

Sophie looked around but didn’t see Colby anywhere. Perhaps he had seen her message and decided to back off. That was for the best.

Suddenly, Sophie caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the entrance. Nichole was wearing a white evening gown, and beside her, Burke International’s General Manager, Gattlin, was eagerly saying, “Ms. Nichole, Mr. Burke couldn’t make it today and asked me to acquaint you with the place. He’s very optimistic about this property and thinks it’s a valuable learning opportunity for you to network.”
