Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 726

Underground tunnels emitted a soft red glow, filling the air with an eerie atmosphere. In an instant, a hand suddenly covered Sophie's mouth and nose. Shocked, Sophie could feel the sleeping drug seeping into her nostrils, identical to the one Odie had used on her back in Devonport!

Quickly holding her breath, Sophie feigned unconsciousness and collapsed.

Before passing out, she pinched her thigh hard, forcing herself to stay awake.

There had to be secrets in this tunnel that weren’t meant to be seen. She was determined to uncover what made this boutique so special.

Sophie felt herself being hoisted onto someone's shoulder, then placed into a tunnel cart and transported underground to another location.

Next, she heard the sound of an elevator being summoned. After three seconds, the elevator came to a halt with a ‘ding.'

Soon after, she heard a familiar voice.

“Quick, put her down gently.”

The voice belonged to Wayne!

Taking over, Wayne scolded, “Who gave you the right to knock Ms. Sophie out?”

“Wayne, I just don’t want her to start scream and shout. If the people above had heard, it would have been the end of me!”

Wayne didn’t blame him but instead asked, “When will she wake up?”

“The dose wasn’t strong. She should be awake in half an hour.”

Hearing this, Wayne responded, “Alright, you can leave now.”

“Yes, Wayne.”

Following her memory from before, Sophie quickly found the elevator. During the day, there was no one guarding the elevator entrance, probably because it wasn’t yet time for the reception of guests. There was no noise when she was on the third floor earlier.

Sophie approached the elevator. Last time, she hadn’t seen clearly, but this time, she could see everything.

In front of the elevator was a card reader. She didn't have an employee card; only guests holding a gold card could access this elevator.

But where could she get a gold card or an employee card?

At that moment, Wayne’s voice echoed from downstairs. “Hurry up, these are all new arrivals! Get them upstairs quickly!”

The voice didn’t come from the first floor but from the basement level below the elevator.

Normally, deliveries were made through the main entrance or, at worst, the back door on the first floor. What kind of delivery was being made from the basement to the upper floors? Moreover, just like those deliveries, she had been transported to the third floor without passing the first or second floors, indicating the use of a direct elevator from the basement to the third floor!
