Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 138

“I apologize for the intrusion tonight. I’ll have a good talk with Sophie.”

James’ gaze remained fixed on Sophie, trying to read her emotions from her face, but since he had entered, Sophie hadn’t looked at him even once.

“Sophie…”

Perry wanted to say something, but Sophie cut him off. “Uncle Perry, I should be going.”

Perry took a deep breath and said, “Drive safely.”

Sophie nodded, then left the Russell family’s house with James.

“You drive your car, and I’ll drive mine.”

After saying this, Sophie turned and walked towards the garage. James caught her hand, and his brow furrowed. “Are you still angry?”

Sophie didn’t respond.

James said in a low voice, “It’s my fault this time. I lost control of my emotions.”

“James, that’s not the point,” Sophie withdrew her hand. “Let’s talk at home.”

Sophie turned and entered the garage. James watched her back, somewhat dazed.

The two cars drove one behind the other on the road. Knowing Sophie was upset, James didn’t drive fast but silently followed behind her, keeping a safe distance.

The streets were empty at night, adding to the feeling of solitude. Sophie played some calming music and pondered how to discuss the divorce with James once she got home.

When she approached the first traffic light, which was red, Sophie prepared to brake, but pressing the pedal had no effect.

Sophie was startled. “What are you going to do?”

James hung up the phone, pressed the accelerator to the floor, and soon caught up with Sophie’s car.

Sophie rolled down her window and shouted to James, who was now alongside her, “James! What are you doing? Stop!”

James ignored her, pressed the accelerator one last time, and swiftly turned, positioning his car in front of Sophie’s.

Sophie had no time to react when she heard a loud ‘bang,’ followed by a violent collision.

The car stopped, and Sophie felt a severe ringing in her ears. She was thrust against the airbag, and shards of glass from the window scattered, cutting her skin. She ached all over, unsure where she had hit.

She was barely conscious and opened her eyes only to see a cloud of white smoke obscuring her vision.
