Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 60

Krystal said curiously, "Who is he? He doesn’t look like he’s from our school. Nichole, you’ve met so many people, anyone who drives that kind of car can't be ordinary. Have you seen him before?”

Upon hearing Krystal’s words, Nichole replied with a hint of pride, “He’s an international businessman, known as Colby. He’s quite influential.”

"Really?" Krystal's eyes lit up instantly, but soon she deflated, "Such an impressive person surely wouldn’t notice me. And why is he at our school? He couldn’t possibly be here to pick up his girlfriend, could he?"

Nichole quickly thought of Sophie. Previously at the auction, Colby had stood up for Sophie. Could there be something between them?

Sure enough, Sophie and Adler emerged from Liberty Hall and walked towards Colby’s car together. Colby even courteously opened the car door for Sophie.

This scene stunned Krystal, "Isn’t that the woman who tried to steal your boyfriend? Why is she getting into someone else’s car? Does she know this Colby? No way..."

Nichole watched this unfold, feeling a twinge of jealousy. Why were there always men around Sophie?

Inside the car, Adler naturally took on the role of the driver.

“You called me over in such a hurry. Did you find out who was spreading those anonymous rumors?”

Colby's work was always swift. “This ID was newly registered, but according to the location tracking, I found where she posted the message from.”

"Where?"

"It was at Eastwood College."

Hearing this, Sophie nodded knowingly.

"Did you already figure it out?”

“That nightclub is right next to Eastwood College, and with all the people around me in those days, there's a good chance that the person who broke this story is also from Eastwood College."

In a slightly secluded part of downtown, Sophie had funded the purchase of a building, which had just finished being renovated. She couldn’t handle this personally, so she had included some labor fees for Colby to prepare everything.

Everything was held in secret, and it wasn't until the business licence came through that she could really breathe a sigh of relief.

Adler parked the car in the garage of the currently empty building. The three of them took the elevator to the top floor, where they could enjoy the most beautiful view without being noticed.

Adler asked, “Ms. Sophie, you’ve got Russell family’s real estate, so why did you buy this building? Doesn’t the Russell family own enough properties?”

Sophie slowly said, “The Russell family is like a teetering giant tree. I need to break free from it.”

“That’s why you bid on that polluted piece of land. Now, its value is well over ten billion.”

Colby’s abrupt statement startled Adler. How much? Ten billion?
