Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1203

At that moment, Colby stepped out from the Burke Estate, his gaze landing on Odie, who was about to drive off. "I'll only say this once," he said.

That simple sentence made Odie pause as he was opening the car door.

Colby's voice was low and steady. "I was wrong."

Odie looked at Colby, and Sophie, who had expected a heartwarming reconciliation between the brothers, was stunned when Odie coldly retorted, "Get lost."

With that, Odie got into the car and sped away.

Sophie, taken aback by the scene, turned to Colby and asked, "Is this...what you call...making up?"

"I don't know. Whatever," Colby replied, his tone final.

He took Sophie's hand and said, "Let's go back inside."

...

Sophie followed Colby back to the lobby.

Elodie was dabbing Griffin's face with a cloth. Seeing Griffin silent, Elodie frowned and asked, "Doesn't it hurt? You were acting all tough just now."

...

Griffin stayed silent, his head bowed.

As Elodie applied ointment to Griffin, she said to Sophie, who had just entered, "Sophie, I need to talk to you alone."

Jenna frowned and asked, "What could you possibly have to say that can't be said in front of us?"

"Some things can be shared, and some can't. What I'm about to discuss is for Sophie's ears only."

Seeing the seriousness on Elodie's face, Sophie said, "Alright, let's talk upstairs."

Elodie put down the ointment and instructed Griffin to sit tight and wait for her. He nodded, his eyes full of tender affection.

Elodie continued, "Since you've known all along, why didn't you ask me who is behind all this?"

"If you didn't want to tell me, asking would have been pointless." Sophie looked at Elodie and said, "Ms. Elodie, are you now ready to share everything you know with me?"

"Griffin knows what I know. But I know a bit more than him."

Elodie looked at Sophie. "Though I thought it was just a dream, I indeed lived my life once more."

Hearing this, Sophie's heart began to race.

It was as if, in this strange world, she had finally found someone just like herself.

"You mean, you also…"

"Yes, I lived once more." Elodie looked at Sophie. "I was sent to the countryside as a child, living a hard life. Later, I was brought back to the family because the Reeves family had no heirs, and they called me back. My husband's aunt wanted the Reeves fortune, and in my previous life, she deceived me, leading to the death of both my mother and me. After being reborn, I used the knowledge from my previous life to change my fate. I think... we are the same, because in my memory, the daughter of the Russell family died in childbirth after marrying James."
