Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 639

"Colby! Put me down!"

Sophie panicked a bit, thinking they were about to have sex again. She couldn't stand such torment!

"Scared?"

"I'm scared. I'm scared! I won't ever be away from you for too long again. I'm afraid I might end up dying in your bed one day."

Before Sophie could finish her sentence, Colby leaned in and kissed her lips, silencing her words. "From now on, don't say such ominous things."

"...Okay, I got it," Sophie murmured.

This time, she and Colby were so close to never seeing each other again.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Adler said, "Colby! Sophie! Are you up yet?"

Hearing Adler's voice, Sophie hurriedly got off Colby and asked, "What's up?"

"Ricardo's secretary is looking for you. He says he wants to meet you in the lobby."

"Alright, got it."

Sophie thought Booker was quick, but she didn't expect him to be this quick. She tiptoed and pinched Colby's cheek, saying, "Go squeeze some toothpaste for me. I need to get to work."

Colby said indulgently, "Okay."

Booker was inside the hotel lobby and could clearly feel that the staff had been replaced, but he didn't ask further.

In just one sentence, Booker fell into deep thought.

After yesterday, he realized he had underestimated Sophie. Not only had he underestimated her, but so had Ricardo.

Initially, he and Ricardo thought Sophie was just a woman who relied on men, gaining some men's favor through her eloquence and past family status.

But as time went on, Booker realized more and more that Sophie didn't depend on men or her past family status to gain her position. Instead, she utilized all available resources around her to weave a vast network.

The Cloude family was just one prey in this giant web.

Booker couldn't even investigate when the Cloude family had fallen into Sophie's trap. But he knew that once Ricardo signed contracts with those businessmen in Devonport and invested capital, the Cloude family would be completely doomed.

Booker stood up and said lightly, "Alright, I'll tell you the answer now. I won't give up on Mr. Ricardo."
