Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 53

Who could it be?

At that moment, Colby called her again, and Sophie answered it, trying to steady her voice, "Are you calling me about the news too?"

"I've already sent Adler to look into this ID. I believe we'll have results soon."

Colby's voice was calm, providing Sophie with a bit of reassurance, "Any guesses on who might be behind this?"

Sophie massaged her temples, images of numerous people flashed through her mind, all ending without a clue. "I don't know, but it definitely wasn't Harold."

Colby chuckled, "So, the person you met secretly was Harold."

"Not the time for jokes."

"If it was Harold, then it would be easier to handle."

Sophie fell silent.

Indeed, the trending news only mentioned her secret rendezvous with a man at a nightclub, but it didn’t disclose who the man was.

This meant the person either didn't want to reveal Harold’s identity or simply didn’t know who he was, guessing she was meeting a man based on her coat.

The latter seemed more likely. Nobody would dare do this knowing the man was Harold.

Sophie asked, "Will the Aldridge family step in?"

"Knowing Gordon, he will take action."

Her own brother meddled in the affairs of a married woman, and Gordon would certainly press down on this news.

"So, I don’t need to bother?"

"I'll handle the investigation, and James must have already planned the PR strategy. The Aldridge family will handle the news. This won’t cause much trouble for you, just relax."

With Colby's assurance, Sophie indeed felt relieved.

Hearing this, James looked up.

Sophie felt uneasy under his gaze, "What’s with that look?"

"You went to a nightclub?"

Sophie hadn’t expected James to focus on that, "It's socializing, I don’t believe you've never been."

James’ gaze was as cold as if it could kill.

Sophie quickly softened her stance, "The news about me secretly meeting a man is pure nonsense. If this affects the company’s image, I’ll cooperate with your PR unconditionally."

"Oh?"

Seeing James’ reaction, Sophie suddenly felt like she had been played.
