Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1205

Elodie shook her head, saying, "I can't count how many times I've thought my ideas were ridiculous, but the truth is, he spent years and countless resources chasing the treasure of Devonport. Sometimes I think it's all for nothing, but he really did go for it."

She gave a bitter smile and added, "Honestly, I'm grateful to that person. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have gotten a second shot at life, become the Elodie I am now, or met Griffin. Meeting Griffin in this life... it's been my biggest stroke of luck."

Sophie couldn't help but fall silent as she looked at Elodie.

Wasn't it the same for her?

Becoming the Sophie she was now, meeting Colby—that was her biggest blessing.

And on this journey, she'd also met so many wonderful friends.

Elodie continued, "Ms. Sophie, if you want our help moving forward, we'll do our best. But I have to be honest—I'm a selfish person. Heaven's given me a second chance, and I don't want to risk my life. I'll help you, but only if it doesn't put Griffin or me in danger."

"Alright, I can accept that."

"Thank you, Ms. Sophie."

Soon after, Elodie and Sophie came downstairs, one after the other.

Elodie helped Griffin, who was lounging on the couch, to his feet. "Now that we've cleared things up, can Griffin and I leave?"

"Sure thing."

Sophie’s agreement made Jenna’s jaw drop. "Sophie! You're really letting them go just like that? What if..."

"There are no 'what ifs.' I trust them."

"Yep, it's a secret."

Sophie made a shushing gesture, which only made Adler more curious.

Jenna’s gossip radar was also triggered. "What kind of secret is it that even we can't know?"

Sophie teased, "Not only can I not tell you, but I can't even tell Colby."

Hearing this, Jenna and Adler both looked at Colby standing next to Sophie.

Colby confidently said, "If my wife doesn’t want to say, then I won’t ask."

Adler rolled his eyes. "And here I thought you might get something out of her for us. You’re totally whipped!"
