Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1517

Odie didn't wait for Sophie to get a word in before he turned on his heel and left her room. As the door clicked shut, Sophie heard the unmistakable sound of Odie locking it from the outside, even sliding the key into the keyhole. Her face fell. It was as if he was worried she'd make a run for it.

Meanwhile, outside in the corridor, Odie was striding along when Jonah caught up to him, offering a supportive arm. “Boss, what’s the plan with the overseas business?”

“Sophie wants to launch a nightclub to square off against The Silent Shadows, hoping to bait them into action,” Odie explained. “It’s a smart move; a new club could draw in a crowd and help us gather intel on The Silent Shadows. But she’s never run a club before. New venues are magnets for trouble and rivals might target them. Overseas, it’s even more chaotic. She’s not on speaking terms with Colby right now, and with their cold war, Colby can’t step in to sort things out for her. So, she can’t handle this by herself; it’s on us.”

Jonah nodded, taking in his boss’s reasoning. Though he hadn’t been a fan of Sophie at first, over time, he’d come to see her as someone who knew right from wrong and was genuinely kind-hearted.

Odie continued, “I remember the Mintons have quite a few folks in this line of work. Get in touch with them, pick some carefully, but make sure they’re our people, and they’ve got to be presentable.”

“Got it, boss, I’m on it.”

“Good,” Odie replied, satisfied.

Back at Aldridge Estate, Sophie caught wind of the news and couldn’t help but smile. Had she known Odie was this capable, she’d have handed over the reins to the club much sooner.

Word on the street was that the club wasn’t just fresh and exciting; it offered all sorts of fun bar games led by charming men and women. The private rooms were incredibly discreet, making it a hotspot for big-shot business deals.

Folks joked that the era of "for peace" was over. Now, S&C was leading the charge in setting trends. Within just three days, it was fully booked for the next month. Even with its sprawling ten thousand square meters, it was packed to the rafters, and getting a spot was nearly impossible.
