Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 378

Nicole sneered as she stepped forward and slapped Sophie across the face. The slap was swift and decisive, leaving Jenna stunned. When Jenna reacted, she immediately tried to retaliate against Nicole but was stopped by Nicole's bodyguards.

"Nicole! Have you lost your mind? How dare you lay a hand on Sophie?"

Blood tinged the corners of Sophie's mouth, and a ringing echoed in her ears from the force of the slap. It was clear Nicole had used all her strength.

Nicole scoffed, "Russell Enterprises is bankrupt, and their precious heiress is nothing but an empty title now. Why couldn't I strike her?"

Nicole stood tall, radiating arrogance.

Jenna replied icily, "Russell Enterprises might be bankrupt, but I'm still here. You just slapped Sophie today. I'll make sure you pay back a hundredfold tomorrow!"

"I doubt you could," Nicole's lips curled into a smirk.

"Really?" Jenna was unimpressed. Not only was she the head of the Dennis family, but she was also closely related to the Costellos. In Devonport, no one dared to cross Jenna.

Jenna stepped forward, but before she could make a move, ten more bodyguards suddenly barged in, surrounding the diner completely.

Jenna noticed that these men bore the crest of the Cloude family from Bloomsbury.

Why would the Cloude family suddenly show up in Devonport?

Jenna's brow furrowed in confusion.

Hearing this name, Sophie was taken aback.

Ricardo?

In her past life, she had vaguely heard of this name. Ricardo Cloude held a dominion as significant in Bloomsbury as James did in Devonport.

There was a shocking incident that had once rocked Devonport - Ricardo Cloude, the head of the Cloude family, had searched for his fiancée for ten years. Although he eventually found her, she had been imprisoned for prostitution and endured great suffering in jail. She had already passed away by the time he got to her.

Ricardo then publicly announced he would never marry, earning the Cloude family significant public sympathy and benefits through this tragic love story.

However, Ricardo's fiancée was a woman named Rowena Freeman, the long-lost daughter of the Freeman family from Devonport. What connection did she have with Nicole?
