Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1413

"Do you mean... it's not over yet?"

"Yes."

"Who is this person?"

"I don't know, but I think... that person is right by your side."

Sophie slowly wandered to one side of the living room, taking in the cheerful crowd. She didn't want to doubt anyone here.

Could it be Jenna? Adler? Was it Reece, Julian, or Booker? Her eyes flitted to Odie and Jonah. Maybe them? Then they landed on Elodie and Griffin. Or perhaps... them? Could it be Harold? Or... Colby?

Sophie trusted everyone here deeply. But if one of them was the culprit, what would she do?

She hung up the call. Adler and Jenna waved her over to join them. Sophie tucked away her phone, put on a smile, and settled into her seat.

While everyone else was caught up in lively chatter, Sophie's thoughts weighed heavy. Reece, who'd been mingling and having a good time, noticed her mood and paused.

When the drinks were flowing, Reece pulled Sophie aside. The cool breeze outside was a welcome relief.

"Was that a call from James?" Reece asked.

"How did you know?" Sophie turned to Reece, saw him looking into the distance, and realized, "You're like another me in this world. After working together for so long, of course, you understand me."

Everyone here was a friend, but Reece had always gotten her. He was her first trusted partner besides Colby.

For the past two years, Reece had been by her side, never once thinking of leaving S Corporation.

"You've changed, Sophie."

"Of course."

Sophie raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you curious what kind of favor?"

"If it's you asking, I’m in. Who would refuse their other self?"

Sophie laughed, "I was just throwing that out there, and now you've turned it into your mantra?"

"I've always taken your words to heart," Reece replied. "Who knows me better than you do?"

"Alright, enough kidding around."

Sophie pulled out her phone and opened a photo that James had sent her.
