Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 792

Sophie’s return was so sudden that the outside world hadn’t caught wind of it yet.

Reece glanced at Tricia and said, "Sophie just got back. Let’s give her a moment to catch up on recent office matters. We can handle everything else later."

Tricia nodded in agreement. "Ms. Sophie, it’s pretty crowded here. How about we head upstairs?"

Sophie noticed the employees avoiding eye contact and followed Tricia and Reece upstairs.

In the office, the first thing Sophie saw was a mountain of documents piled high on her desk.

She couldn’t help but sigh, "Reece... I’m so sorry I dumped all this mess on you."

Reece waved it off. "It’s no big deal, just some simple contracts. I just need to sign them."

As Reece started sorting through the papers, Sophie turned to Tricia. "Why is everyone avoiding me? What’s going on?"

Tricia hesitated a moment before speaking. "It’s about you and Mr. Gordon."

"Me and Gordon?" Sophie frowned. "What’s going on with us?"

Reece handed Sophie a newspaper from the desk.

The headline showed photos of her and Gordon entering and leaving the Burke Estate. The paper was from yesterday, meaning the news had been snapped up right after she landed.

Who has the time to be this nosy?

Sophie frowned.

Seeing Sophie’s slight smile, Reece frowned. "You’re smiling? After all this slander, how can you still smile?"

"Why shouldn’t I? Even the biggest newspaper in Devonport couldn’t revive newspaper sales, but this publication did. There's got to be a mastermind behind it."

Reece and Tricia exchanged puzzled looks.

Just a newspaper? What kind of genius would choose to make money by running a newspaper?

Sophie handed the newspaper back to Reece. "I want to meet the owner of this publication. Can you set that up?"

Reece took the newspaper and said, "Are you serious? Even if you’re keeping your identity under wraps, you’re still the reinstated manager of S Corporation. Is the owner of some small publication really worth your time?"
