Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1565

Lost in thought, Harold was caught off guard when Sophie suddenly dumped a heap of The Silent Shadows badges from her bag onto the table.

The sight left him speechless.

"Is this enough? If not, I've got more," Sophie teased.

"You..."

Harold just gawked at the pile, words completely failing him.

Sophie carried on, "These are from overseas, and some from Summerfield. Which ones catch your fancy?"

"Wait a second, I can see you having the overseas ones, but how on earth did you snag ones from Summerfield?"

"I don’t have them just yet, but if you want them, I can make it happen," Sophie replied with a sly smile. She then pulled out a USB drive. "This has all the juicy secrets the Mintons have gathered on Summerfield's entrepreneurs over the years. Summerfield's quite the mixed bag, and we suspect it's crawling with members of The Silent Shadows. With this dirt, we can get them to play nice and cooperate with our investigation."

"Odie gave this to you?" Harold asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Who else could it be?" Sophie shrugged. "The Mintons' evidence is really coming in handy. I used to think these tactics were a bit underhanded, but now I see them as the only way to deal with those types. Fight fire with fire, right?"

Harold paused, then asked, "Sophie, don't you think Odie is being a bit too generous with you?"

After saying it, he felt it was unnecessary, so he switched gears, "But this makes things a lot easier. You’ve only scoped out overseas, and while The Silent Shadows might keep a tight leash on their accounts, Summerfield should be a bit more relaxed. I'll head there when I have a chance."

"No, you can't go," Sophie insisted, frowning. "Devonport needs you. If anyone's going, it's me."

In terms of corporate clout, the Spellman family, despite its rising status, was nowhere near the level of the S Corporation and the big four families.

Especially since Sophie's entourage included bodyguards from Devonport's Aldridge family, which spoke volumes of their influence.

Mr. Donny wasn't about to stir up trouble, so he put on a brave front.

Sophie, with an icy tone, said, "Mr. Donny, you're quite the sport, letting your daughter chase someone all the way to Devonport. Do you really have the audacity to question my presence here? You've got some nerve."

Hearing her words, Mr. Donny finally grasped Sophie's motive.

He chuckled dryly, saying, "I thought Ms. Sophie came for something major, but it's just this! It's normal for a young woman to have a crush! Young folks should chase their hearts. As an adult, I can't really stop her. Ms. Sophie, if you truly believe in your marriage, why cause a scene at my doorstep? Isn't that a tad undignified?"
