Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1324

At this point, Odie stood up and said, "That's all I've got. Jensen didn't spend his life chasing after riches, and the Devonport treasure isn't just some legendary royal stash. I don't buy it, and you shouldn't either."

Each one of them was wealthier than most countries, so why would they spend over a decade chasing some rumored fortune they've never even seen? There's got to be more to it.

Seeing Colby still quiet, Odie added, "I've told you everything I know. Consider it my way of saying thanks for saving my life. We're square now."

With that, Odie headed for the bedroom door. He paused after a couple of steps, looking a bit worried. "Sophie will probably sleep for another four or five hours. As her husband, it's best if you stick close."

After saying this, Odie closed the door behind him.

Colby moved over to Sophie's side, watching her as she slept peacefully. He gently touched her forehead. Maybe she was having a nightmare because her forehead was dotted with sweat.

Seeing this, Colby went to the bathroom, soaked a towel, and gently wiped the sweat from her cheeks. "Don't worry, I'm back now."

Colby's voice was deep but tender, "As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you."

Perhaps hearing Colby's words in her sleep, Sophie's tense expression seemed to relax.

Colby quietly watched her, as if he could see the pain she endured during that kidnapping incident over a decade ago.

"Trouble, trouble! Big trouble!" Angelo burst into the room, panic-stricken.

Instantly, Colby's gaze, sharp as a knife, turned to Angelo, making him catch his breath. When did Colby get back!

Angelo, holding up his phone, said, "Claire's announced she's the Russell family's heir and engaged to James. It's blowing up online... I was worried it would affect Sophie, so I rushed over."

Looking at the news, at the woman who looked strikingly like Sophie, Colby's expression turned cold. "No matter what happens, don't disturb her rest these next few days."

"But if Sophie doesn't show up now, wouldn't that be like admitting to it?"

Colby replied, "I'll take care of it."

He glanced back at the bedroom door with concern and said, "Keep an eye on her, I'll be back soon."

"Hey, wait up! I can help with this! No need to handle it all alone!"
