Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 676

Upon hearing that Burke International had responded, Sophie curiously unlocked her phone, only to see that Burke International had indeed set up a separate social media account, freshly created under the name James Studio.

The only post read: [No to sensationalism.]

This update from James Studio made Sophie sit upright on the couch, her brows furrowed as she asked Tricia on the phone, "Is this account reliable?"

"People have looked into it already. It's verified by the social media platform, so it should be legit."

The tone and approach used were so characteristic of James.

He had always disliked being entangled in troubles. Hence, his actions were always decisive and straightforward.

Yet...

Sophie reminisced about their life-and-death experiences on a deserted island and wondered why James would now use such tactics to strike at her and S Corporation.

Tricia said, "Ms. Sophie, everyone thinks we are seeking publicity, and your public image has taken a hit. Even the previous adored pairing between you and James has..."

"I understand."

Fans witnessing their public spat transformed, with the better ones becoming neutral, but the majority, driven by disappointment, turned against her, severely impacting her personal image.

Sophie acknowledged the current state of her public image online and said indifferently, "Let it be; no need to fuss over it."

"But..."

"Remember, I'm no longer the CEO of S Corporation, so my personal image won't affect the company. Don't worry, this will blow over soon."

Sophie smiled, her eyes filled with tender affection. "Finished with work?"

"Everything was hands-on, and the venue was decorated with your favorite roses."

Colby's voice was deep, his eyes shimmering with unhidden joy as he lightly brushed a stray hair from Sophie's temple, asking, "Do you like the engagement dress I picked out for you?"

"I absolutely love it."

Sophie wrapped her arms around Colby's neck. His kisses moved down from her forehead, inch by inch, kissing her skin until his lips met hers. The taste of citrus candy seeped into her mouth, prompting her to kiss him back greedily.

In the heat of the moment, Colby's voice was low, filled with restraint and longing. It turned into a whisper, "Sophie, I am yours."

The engagement day arrived, and Lennon had booked the Regent Hotel for the banquet, insisting on a lavish seven-day and seven-night feast, while the Burke family's engagement party was held at the Four Seasons Hotel next door.
