Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 740

The two people inside the room snapped to attention.

"Get in here!"

Odie's voice was icy, but Sophie sauntered in, unfazed. If she had the guts to eavesdrop outside the door, she wasn’t scared of Odie catching her. Even if Wayne hadn't appeared, she was ready to march in and demand answers.

Odie's eyes narrowed dangerously at Sophie. "It's you?"

"Mr. Odie, you're not being very straightforward," Sophie said. "I came here in good faith to work with you, but you’ve been playing your crafty little games."

Odie's voice was cold. "What exactly do you want?"

"For years, Minton International has driven my Uncle Perry into massive debt, bleeding my family, dry. And now, you've got your sights set on me. No wonder you were always so vague when I asked you questions before. Turns out you’re after the legendary Devonport treasure."

Although Perry had admitted to arranging her parents' deaths, Sophie and Colby had discovered that the car's engine had been tampered with. Besides Perry's plot, another group had wanted her parents dead!

Sophie had been uncertain and could only cautiously feel Odie out, step by step. But from Odie and Jonah's recent conversation, she guessed that the Mintons was involved in her parents' deaths.

"I help you get the Devonport treasure, and in return, you help me rebuild Russell Enterprises, so my family can rise again."

"Is that all?"

"That's all," Sophie said. Fearing Odie's rejection, she continued, "Perry is in jail, I have no family left, Colby has abandoned me, and James has moved on. I can’t live off a meager salary for the rest of my life. You help me rebuild Russell Enterprises, and let me continue as the daughter of the Russell family. In the future, our families will naturally continue to collaborate closely, sharing both success and failure."

Sophie's words were so compelling that even Jonah seemed somewhat persuaded.
