Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 532

The car arrived at the Aldridge Estate, and the driver helped Gordon out of the car. Sophie, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but express her surprise. "You can stand now?"

Realizing her words might have come off as rude, she quickly rectified, "I mean..."

"I can stand, but walking takes effort," Gordon responded lightly as he was assisted into a wheelchair. "These legs of mine make little difference to me, so Ms. Sophie, there's no need for any discomfort on your part."

Gordon's way of thinking was always somewhat unique. Noticing there were no butlers around, Sophie took the initiative to push his wheelchair.

Once they reached the study on the second floor, Sophie sat across from Gordon with a hint of restraint.

"If we're to do this properly, you'll need a professional team. Aldridge Global will provide you with the best resources. We don't expect groundbreaking achievements from you—just profitability," Gordon stated.

"Such modest expectations from you, Mr. Gordon," Sophie remarked.

"I tend to be optimistic," Gordon replied in a light tone.

Sophie forced a smile, and Gordon continued, "Creating a buzz is essential to make a debut. Besides filming movies, which have their production cycles, you'll need to find time to participate in some variety shows to build up your popularity."

"Like which ones?"

"Once Upon an Ex."

Hearing the name of the show, Sophie laughed, "Mr. Gordon, that show..."

"Aldridge Global's new venture. I think it suits you perfectly."

"My ex..."

"James."

"We..."

"Got a divorce."

Gordon interrupted Sophie's words swiftly, leaving her unable to laugh any longer.

Very few people knew about her and James' agreement to divorce, and Sophie didn't expect Gordon to find out so quickly.

Gordon explained, "The show will take about a month or two to film, which won't take up much of your time. Your agreement with James states six months before going public with the divorce news, and it's already been over a month. Your divorce should be officially announced by the time the show airs."

"Mr. Gordon, the audience isn't foolish. They'll know the filming dates, and we weren't divorced at that time."

"The show is called 'Exes and Ohs.' Why do you think I invited you and James to participate?"

Sophie frowned upon hearing this.

"Who?"

Just as Sophie wondered, a familiar voice came from outside the door, "It's me."

The voice was deep, more mature.

Turning around, Sophie saw Harold.

It had been a long time since she'd seen Harold. His skin had tanned to a healthy bronze, and his hair, previously red, was now black and cut short. He was wearing a white shirt and trousers, highlighting his well-built, lean figure. His eyes, sharp as an eagle's, had grown more profound. With a smirk, he teased, "What, half a year, and you've forgotten me?"

Half a year. Indeed, it had been that long.

Sophie hadn't realized it had been so long since she and Harold last met. After a while, she managed to say, "You've gotten more handsome."

Hearing Sophie's words, Harold blushed slightly, his gaze shifting away.

"Take your time catching up. Harold rarely comes home and leaves the day after tomorrow."

"So soon?" Sophie frowned, asking, "You'll... return to the military?"

"Yes."
