Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 119

"Mr. Burke, it's your wife." Colt whispered into James' ear.

James furrowed his brow.

He wasn't blind. He had noticed Sophie the moment she walked through the door. At the same time, he saw Colby following behind her, a sight that felt like a stab to his eyes.

Sophie and Jenna were arm in arm, laughing and chatting while casually glancing at Nichole and her group. A playful smirk adorned her face.

Harold had been waiting inside for a long time. As soon as he saw Sophie approaching, his eyes lit up. He put down his glass of red wine and strode over to her.

"What took you so long?" Harold's tone had a hint of dissatisfaction, but it was mostly filled with joy.

Sophie made an introduction, "This is my good friend, Jenna."

Harold's expression shifted slightly. Jenna was intrigued and said, "Ah, the young Aldridge lad has grown up."

As she said this, Jenna reached for Harold's ear, but he quickly blocked her hand. "Jenna, I'm all grown up now! I'm not a kid anymore!"

Sophie hadn’t realized these two knew each other.

Jenna explained to Sophie, "When we were young, the Aldridge and the Costello families did business together. I was the eldest, and Adler was my little sidekick. Harold was the youngest, and we had to rough him up a bit to keep him in line!"

Sophie suddenly understood, while Harold wished to silence Jenna, his face turning red as a tomato. "Jenna! Stop spouting nonsense!"

Jenna wasn’t having any of it.

Though they said this, Krystal's doubtful gaze landed on Nichole. "But why would Mr. Harold be so fond of two social butterflies? He even personally came to greet them."

Nichole said reluctantly, "I told you it was just a rumor."

"A rumor?" Krystal had never doubted Nichole's words before, but now her tone carried a hint of skepticism.

Nichole initially claimed that this unknown woman was trying to intrude as the other woman in her boyfriend’s life. Now, Nichole had changed her story, which was bound to raise eyebrows.

"Nichole, isn't that your boyfriend?" Tina pointed out, as they all saw James walking towards Sophie.

Nichole’s face turned pale, her lips almost white. "I-I'm not feeling well. I need to leave."
