Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 796

"Mr. Angelo! Your father said you have to go to the events you're supposed to. Don't forget why you came to Devonport…"

The secretary's words were cut short by a security guard at the door, still munching on potato chips, who tugged at his arm. "Hey, buddy! We're just trying to get our paychecks, don't make this hard for me, okay?"

The security guard, barely in his mid-twenties, realized the secretary refusing to listen and looked at Angelo with a pleading expression. "Boss, he's not listening to me!"

Angelo frowned and said, "If he doesn’t leave today, you will. Your call."

With those words, the security guard was instantly motivated. He summoned all his strength and finally managed to drag the secretary away.

"Sorry, buddy! I can't afford to lose my five-thousand-a-month salary just like that!"

"You…"

The secretary, still anxious, peered into the CEO's office. "Mr. Angelo! Mr. Angelo, please hear me out…"

Angelo simply put on his noise-canceling headphones. "Not listening! Release Duke!"

The loud barking of the big black dog outside didn't give the secretary a chance to react before he, along with the bodyguard, was pushed out of the newspaper office.

The secretary was fuming.

If they didn’t make a scene, they couldn't explain themselves to Old Mr. Pollard. But to barge in? With Mr. Angelo as the future leader, they didn’t have the guts to anger him!

In the end, a group of them waited outside the newspaper office.

Tonight's dinner was a must-attend for Mr. Angelo, whether he liked it or not.

In the afternoon, Sophie had just returned to Burke Estate when she saw Colby and Gordon in the study, looking troubled.

Sophie glanced at Colby, her tone teasing.

Colby frowned and said, "Gordon, if you don't want to be friends, just say it. Don't slander me in front of my wife."

"Just don't embarrass yourself in front of me."

Colby was never one to act cutely. The way he leaned on Sophie's shoulder just now made Gordon very uncomfortable, both mentally and physically.

Gordon said indifferently, "At the engagement party, Vanessa causing a scene with Sandy was just an unexpected episode. Vanessa, using Sandy's connections, found Odie. She managed to bypass Colby's people in Devonport and even used Sandy's private jet to help Odie kidnap you to Summerfield. Recently, Colby settled scores, giving her and Sandy an ultimatum to leave Devonport. This move, however, brought out the future heir of the Pollard family."

Sophie frowned. "The Pollard family's future heir?"

Gordon explained, "Although this heir of the Pollard family hasn't fully taken control yet, he's notoriously tough. He was already infamous overseas and seemed to have quieted down in recent years. If he comes to Devonport, it'll be a threat to our four major families."
