Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

According to the timeline, it would be three years after Lennon’s death that Colby’s identity would be revealed

Was it her rebirth that had unintentionally changed everything? NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

At this moment, Nichole paled at Lennon’s remark. Wasn’t it rumored that Colby was an orphan? How could he possibly be Lennon’s grandson?

Lennon heard everything she just said? Offending Lennon meant a dead end in the finance world for the rest of her life.

Thinking this, Nichole turned to James for help.

“Mr. Lennon, Nichole just spoke without thinking. Considering her young age, I hope you can overlook this.” Lennon simply snorted. “I heard you had a prodigy by your side, Mr. Burke. It seems like she’s nothing special after all.”

Nichole turned deathly pale. She had clearly lost all favor in Lennon’s eyes.

Sophie watched the scene unfold.

At this point, even James speaking up was futile. Nichole just spoke ill of Lennon’s grandson: She could stay here and didn’t get thrown out, which was already quite generous.

James pressed his lips together and remained silent.

When Lennon’s gaze fell on Sophie, it softened. “You must be one of the Russells, right?”

Sophie, realizing Lennon was addressing her, nodded and said, “I’m Sophie.”

“Your grandfather and I were buddies more than forty years ago of an eye.”

Now, you’ve grown so much in the blink

Buddies?

Sophie remembered her grandfather as carefree and detached from family matters. He passed away early without ever mentioning knowing Lennon,

As Sophie wondered how to respond, Lennon leaned in and asked, “Are you married?”

Sophie nodded. “Yes”

“Who’s the lucky guy?”

Sophie glanced at James beside her.

Lennon’s face fell the moment he saw James. “Th

a s s h o l e’s grandson is also detestable!”

Hearing this, James just smiled slightly. “My grandfather often mentioned you. It seems like you were close back in the day.”

“We weren’t close!”

The conversation became awkward for Nichole, standing aside as if she were invisible.

After Lennon left, Nichole tugged at James’ sleeve. “Mr. Burke, I’d like to leave.”

James looked at the sky and said, “I’ll take you.”

Nichole asked, “What about Sophie?”

James glanced at Sophie, chatting happily with Lennon, and coldly replied, “She can get home on her

own.”

Nichole looked jealously at Sophie.

Why did Sophie garner Lennon’s favor? It just wasn’t fair.

Meanwhile, Sophie saw, James and Nichole leaving the event one after the other.

Colt approached quietly. “Mr. Burke went to drop Ms. Nichole off at her dorm.”

“I see.”

Colt thought Sophie would be upset, but she was surprisingly calm.

Colby joined in, “James is dropping someone else off?”

Sophie, unfazed, replied, “Isn’t that obvious?”

Not only had she noticed, but everyone else had too. Twice now, James had disregarded his wife, openly escorting another woman home, leaving his wife behind at the banquet. The gossip among the socialites tomorrow would be unimaginable.

“You’re not upset?”

“No.”

Sophie had had enough of caring about James in her past life. She wouldn’t make the same mistake again.

Despite the indifference on Sophie’s expression, Colby still spotted a hint of loneliness in her eyes. “Ms. Sophie, may I have the honor of taking you home?”

It was late, and Sophie really had had enough of the place.

Colt, standing aside, said, “Mr. Colby, let me take the lady home.”

Colby ignored Colt, waiting for Sophie’s response.

Sophie stood up. “Thank you, Colby.”

Like a gentleman, Colby stood by her side, leaving Colt disheveled in the wind. How was he supposed to explain this to Mr. Burke?

Sophie followed Colby to the car that Adler drove. Only Colby could make the Tredgold family’s eldest son serve as a driver.

“Colby, I waited outside for hours, and you were in there flirting?”

Sophie could see Adler’s disbelief in the rearview mirror.

Colby replied indifferently, “First, let’s take Ms. Sophie home.”

“Hey, we were supposed to go…”

Adler stopped as Colby kicked the back of the driver’s seat.

Adler saw the warning in Colby’s eyes reflected in the mirror and fell silent.
