Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1516

"Guess what?"

Sophie's voice had an unusual hint of playfulness.

With a resigned sigh, Harold said, "Sophie, I get you're looking for some fun, but you can't just go around causing trouble. Aren't you worried about getting tangled up in some romantic mess?"

Seeing Harold take her seriously made Sophie chuckle.

It seemed her reputation in Devonport these past few days had really been something else. In just a week, rumors were flying about her being wild and letting loose. A few business partners were already trying to set her up with male celebrities from the entertainment world.

Sophie couldn't see the downside to this.

Handsome men being thrown her way? That was right up her alley.

After Harold left, right on cue, Tricia called.

Sophie picked up, and Tricia on the other end said, "Ms. Sophie, we need another 30 million for the overseas funds."

"Send it over."

"But… we've already wired 70 million this week alone."

Tricia sounded hesitant. Even though it was Sophie's call, a hundred million was no small change for the company.

"Do as I say. Keep this under wraps for now. If we can't cover it by year-end, I'll make up the difference myself."

"Yes, Ms. Sophie."

After hanging up, Sophie removed the IV needle from her arm.

Just as she was about to leave, who should she find standing at the door but Odie.

Seeing him out of bed, Sophie quickly said, "Who let you up? The doctor said your injuries are serious, and you need to stay put. Get back to bed."

"I really have something important to do."

"For the overseas nightclub?"

"How did you know?"

Sophie hadn't told anyone about her plans, not even Harold. She was surprised Odie could read her mind like that.

"Ever since you started asking about 'for peace,' I figured it out. A woman shouldn't be handling this kind of thing, but if you ask nicely, I might just help you out."

Before Sophie could respond, Odie cut in, "Since you saved me once, I'll let it slide this time."

"…"

Odie added nonchalantly, "Focus on your recovery. I'll handle the overseas stuff."
