Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 692

"Get in!" Jonah shoved Sophie into Odie's bedroom.

Sophie was drenched in the scent of red wine, her hair soaked, and droplets of wine still trickling down her clothes.

Odie had just emerged from the bathroom, wearing a white bathrobe, his hair still dripping.

Sophie quickly noticed the numerous scars on Odie's body beneath his robe, scars she had seen on Colby's body before.

Odie seemed to notice Sophie's gaze. He looked down at his exposed chest and asked, "Should I strip down even more?"

Realizing her stare was too revealing, Sophie immediately averted her eyes, saying, "No need, there's nothing to see."

Odie sneered, looking Sophie up and down in her disheveled state. "Quite capable, aren't you? Smashing millions worth of red wine. What, were you trying to upset me, hoping for a swift end?"

"I cherish my life. I don't wish to die."

"So you ruin my wine cellar? Sophie, is there something wrong with your head?"

It was clear Odie was truly angry. He leaned back on the couch, stating, "Tell me, how do you plan to compensate me?"

"For millions in red wine? Mr. Odie, you can't be that petty."

"Millions sound so trivial when you mention them. Weren't you just clinging to thirty thousand dollars before?"

"I know you want to deal with Colby. How about we form an alliance?"

Hearing Sophie's proposal, Odie laughed, "Do you even understand what you're saying?"

"I do." Sophie was very serious, "You kidnapped me at the engagement party, such a big deal, and yet Colby only sent his men to find me, showing no intention of rescuing me personally. I've thought over what you said and realized Colby doesn't care about me much. So, if you want to deal with Colby, forming an alliance with me is the best option."

Sophie's words seemed flawless, yet Odie said, "Colby spent hundreds of millions to organize the engagement party for you, showing you do mean a lot to him. Now that you're turning your back on him, how can I know if you're sincere?"

"The Costello family spent hundreds of millions merely to compete with the Burke family's engagement party. I'm just a woman entering her second marriage. If you were Colby, how much could I possibly mean to you?"
