Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 750

Back at the Minton estate, Polly had the chef whip up a series of healthful dishes for Sophie, all of which were delivered straight to her room.

“This one’s premium chicken soup with wild rice, this is herbal tea with ginseng and ginger, this is a special jelly made from red wine and berries, this is braised mutton, and this…”

“Hold up.”

Sophie, lounging on her bed, eyed the cart full of dishes and asked, “Are all these for me?”

Polly responded, “The boss ordered these especially for you, Ms. Sophie. You’ve been hurt, and the kitchen made these nutritious dishes to help you get better.”

“All this? How long do they think it’ll take me to finish?” Sophie frowned. “I’ll just have a bowl of the soup. Take the rest away.”

“Ms. Sophie, the boss really thought about your health with all this.”

Then, Polly placed all the dishes on the table in front of the couch.

Looking at the spread of dishes, Sophie felt it was way over the top.

Is Odie genuinely concerned about her, or is he trying to overfeed her?

After mulling it over for a moment, Sophie said, “Polly, you stay. Let everyone else go. With so many people around, I feel awkward eating.”

Polly nodded and gave the other maids a look. They quickly exited the room, closing the door behind them.

“Ms. Sophie, let me help you up.”

Polly stepped forward to assist Sophie out of bed.

After Polly left, Sophie got up, walked to the door, and asked the two maids standing there, “Does Ms. Leticia visit the Minton family often?”

“Not really. Mr. Odie doesn’t like having guests over. Ms. Sophie, are you curious about Ms. Leticia?”

“I heard Ms. Leticia is Mr. Gibbs’ illegitimate daughter, and that’s why Mr. Odie and Ms. Leticia have never gotten engaged. Is that true?”

The two maids exchanged puzzled looks and said, “Ms. Sophie, so you still don’t know…”

“What do you mean?”

“When Mr. Gibbs was younger, he was always caught up in scandals. In recent years, many illegitimate children have tried to make claims against Mr. Gibbs, causing quite a stir. But Mr. Gibbs has always ignored these claims.”

“Oh? Why’s that?”
