Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 758

At the fancy shindig, Sophie stuck close to Odie, listening as he introduced some of the bigwigs in Summerfield. Minton International had its hands in all sorts of business pies, so the top dogs in Summerfield always gave Odie the royal treatment. Anytime Odie showed up, they made sure to come out and support him.

Even though the Gibbs family was hosting the soirée, everyone knew about the tight-knit bond between the Gibbs and the Minton families. So, most of the guests were really there because of their business ties to the Minton family.

"Mr. Odie sure has some serious clout in Summerfield."

"Your ex isn't doing too bad either."

Odie's words snapped Sophie’s attention over to James, who wasn’t too far off. James was surrounded by a crowd of entrepreneurs, cool as a cucumber, chatting away without a hint of arrogance, despite being the top dog in Devonport.

James was in his element, charming everyone with his business acumen—a skill finely honed from his upbringing in the elite Burke family, every move he made oozing refinement.

Meanwhile, Jonah hurried over to Odie, whispering urgently, "Sir, Ms. Leticia is upstairs."

"Keep her in check. Don’t let her stir up trouble."

"Got it."

Jonah had barely left when a spotlight hit the staircase leading to the second floor. Leticia appeared, descending gracefully in a stunning champagne-colored gown, her makeup flawless, looking every bit the princess. Naturally gorgeous, her bold makeup made her even more striking, leaving everyone in awe at first sight.

"Is that Ms. Leticia? What's she doing here?"

Daniel kept a wary eye on Odie’s reaction and upon noticing his stern expression, he grew anxious. "Get her back upstairs right now. She can’t be down here until the dinner is over!"

"Yes, Mr. Gibbs."

But before the maid could reach her, Leticia had already made her way over to Sophie and Odie, all eyes on her.

The crowd held its breath. Leticia’s fiery temperament was legendary in Summerfield, promising quite the show.

"Ms. Leticia," Sophie greeted her with a slight smile. It was just a simple greeting, but to Leticia, it felt like a challenge.
