Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1522

It seemed like The Silent Shadows were really trying to cash in on the situation. The Pearl Hotel must mean something special to them. Sophie paused, caught up in her thoughts. Just then, a chorus of exclamations from a nearby group pulled her back to the moment.

Looking up, she saw a striking woman, dressed to the nines, making her way down the grand staircase from the second floor. Her beauty was undeniable, and it wasn't just Sophie who noticed.

"That's Mr. Donny's goddaughter," Kena remarked, a sneer playing on her lips.

Mr. Donny was pulling the same kind of stunt Daniel had tried before, using his goddaughter to cozy up to wealthy businessmen. It was downright sickening. Poor Leticia had ended up taking her own life, and who knew how long this new woman could hold out?

"Jenna, come over here," Mr. Donny called warmly to Gina.

Gina's smile was dazzling, like an angel who'd accidentally wandered into the mortal world—pure and untouched. She epitomized the phrase perfectly, far more innocent-looking than Nichole ever was. The businessmen around ogled Gina as if she were some flawless masterpiece.

Kena frowned, whispering, "That scoundrel probably plans to use Gina tonight to rake in cash or maybe to leverage her beauty for some power and perks."

Before they could delve deeper into their conversation, the room's attention shifted to another figure. Colby was descending from the second floor.

Sophie's face was stoic, but inside, it felt like a dagger had pierced her heart. Colby hadn't glanced her way once. In the past, he would have spotted her in a heartbeat, even in a crowded room.

Mr. Donny's gaze landed on Sophie too, with a look that seemed almost taunting. Gina and Colby were deep in conversation, and while their topic was a mystery, it was clear Colby wasn't bothered. He even initiated some exchanges with Gina.

Everyone knew about Sophie and Colby's history, and as they watched this scene unfold, they stayed quiet, soaking in the drama. Rumors were flying that Sophie had been playing games, leaving Colby heartbroken. One accused of tricking her way into marriage, the other of cheating—divorce seemed inevitable.
